Ok, So I love Pinterest. Sadly, it took me FOREVER to decide to jump on the band wagon, but when I did....I did! I have come across some of the most yummiest looking Valentine's Day treats! They say you eat with your eyes first and boy, my eyes are droolin'!  I only wish I could be as creative as these artists/bakers; sadly I'm not. Since I'm not, I will enjoy the pictures and possibly attempt a try at a few of the recipes!

The above pictures is an actual bite size cheesecake!  I could have never thought up of anything like that.

FROM THEIR WEBSITE

Vasanti Cosmetics aims to encourage women to celebrate and enhance their natural beauty.

All Vasanti makeup and skincare products are proudly made in Canada.

There is no surprise that I love make-up, I mean who doesn't?!  I don't always take the time to put it on but, when I do, I want to find a good blush and or gloss that will make me look fresh and alive; not overdone. I came across Vasanti Cosmetics and was eager to give their make-up a try and I certainly was not disappointed.

Micornized Silky Blush in Rockies

I was given the opportunity to review their Micronized Silky Blush in the color Rockies.  This blush is a gorgeous coral/pink color that adds just enough 'pop' of color to my colorless cheeks.  This color will definitely work for all skin tones. It's very pigmented so you can wear this light, or you can layer or for a more dramatic look.  Since I am so pale to begin with, I use this lightly and it adds a very nice glow to my cheeks.  The texture is very silky and just glides on with no effort what so ever.  You really don't need much when applying.  The above picture shows the beautiful sheen to it; gorgeous, isn't it?

Vitamin E Infused Lipsine in Aegean Sea

Next I reviewed their Vitamin E Infused Lipshine in Aegean Sea.  The color is a gorgeous nude plum with shimmer.  I love plums and nudes and this sure does make the perfect match, for me, when it comes to a lipgloss. I love that it is infused with Vitamin E.  It goes on creamy and my lips felt very moisturized while wearing it.  It has really nice staying power and doesn't have that sticky, goopey feeling that most lipglosses have.  There is a small amount of sparkle to it so it is super shiny.  The color looks dark in the tube but, believe me, it is not dark at all.  You can add layers to make it a little darker, if you like. I absolutely love this lipshine!



I love discovering new companies and Vasanti has definitely become a fast favorite.  I can't wait to try out their other blushes and lipshines; I have my eye on several products already!

You can purchase Vasanti cosmetics directly from their website here.

HOW TO CONNECT:  You can connect with Vasanti through Facebook page and on Twitter.

READY TO WIN?  One lucky winner from the US or Canada will win the same products I reviewed.  One Lipshine in Aegean Sea and one Micronized Silky Blush in Rockies.  The contest will close on March 5, 2012.  Good luck to all!
