What a week this has been! It seems that as soon as December arrives, life reaches an entirely new level of frenzy…from traveling and end-of-the-semester duties to Christmas preparation and heightened communication with all we hold near and dear, this month brings both new challenges and great joy. I am happy to share a quick video showcasing a winter makeup look featuring products from the gorgeous Jouer beauty line (plus, an overview of the adorable Jouer Sparkle and Shine Party Favor!).
Kindly scroll on for the video, additional product images and the Bottom Line…
Products mentioned include:
1. Jouer Matte Moisture Tint in Nude
2. Jouer Tint in Honeysuckle
3. Jouer Powder Eyeshadow in Maple
4. Jouer Liquid Shimmer Eyeliner in Panther
5. Jouer Cream Eyeshadow in Chiffon
6. Jouer Mattifying Translucent Powder in Translucent
7. Jouer Lipstick in Meg
8. Sparkle and Shine Party Favor

 |
| Above (from bottom): The Liquid Shimmer Eyeliner in Lynx, Leopard and Panther (featured in the video). |
 |
| Above: Swatches in direct sunlight…note the splendid opacity and sophisticated shimmer of the formula. |
 |
| Above: Meg lipstick…the perfect harmony of peach and pink. |
 |
| Above: Light and heavy swatches of Meg (it’s buildable!) in natural outdoor light. It has an ever-so-flattering slight sheen and is an excellent alternative to a typical beige nude lip. |
 |
| Above: The entire contents of the Jouer Holiday 2013 Sparkle and Shine Party Favor…for a very reasonable $16, there is a serious amount of magic nestled inside. This is truly a luxe stocking stuffer! |

 |
| Above: A rhinestone-enrusted barrette, or hair ornament as I am inclined to say ; ) |
 |
| Above: The quintessential Jour hair elastic, complete with Jouer gold and white chevron print. |
Bottom Line: This season is a time to try new releases (like the Jouer Sparkle and Shine Party Favor) and embrace constant favorites (like Matte Moisture Tint and Meg lip color). I hope you enjoyed the video; I’ll will be doing my best this weekend to prepare swatches and reviews for products from Koh Gen Do, Kanebo Sensai, Surratt Beauty, Mirenesse, Rouge Bunny Rouge and the Clarisonic Pedi (yes, there is a Clarisonic for the feet)!
xoxo and have a blessed Sunday,

Hello dearest B.P,
I could not agree more that this time of year becomes ridiculously busy with the additional stressors of traffic, crowded shopping centres and long lines! Despite this I love Christmas time and really enjoy shopping for others, looking at people's gorgeously decorated houses and the generosity of spirit which seems to abound! Thanks for your wonderful gift giving guide and your FOTD, which was a gorgeous look as always! I'm so glad to hear that more reviews are on their way and appreciate that you take the time to appropriately trial products before reviewing them.
Wishing you a fantastic week, Karen xoxo
Hello Karen!
How wonderful to hear from you! Yes, it is all we can do to get through these weeks without going crazy, no? I, too, love Christmas and am passionate about its true meaning and have to hold fast to that when the world feels chaotic. Thank you ever so much for your sweet words about the gift guide and FOTD…more reviews and swatches definitely on the way. Off to grade an insane amount of papers…got to love the end of the semester!
Have a beautiful week and talk soon…xoxo,
–The Beauty Professor
