I kicked off last week with a celebration of mark.’s 10th anniversary, with current mark. brand ambassador Lucy Hale (of TV show “Pretty Little Liars” fame). If you are familiar with Avon but not mark., the brand, through its m.powerment initiative is to break the cycle of dating abuse and partner violence with a portion of proceeds from select items going to the education and prevention programs. Both fashion and beauty items are available through the mark. brand’s website, with some FABULOUS jewelry and footwear options currently available that I have my eye on!

e.l.f. time!! New products have arrived that are the definition of good bang for your buck! The new trio of items from e.l.f. (eyes, lips, face)are the HD Mattifying Cream Foundation (available in six shades; $6) which is lightweight, perfect for normal to oily skin and minimizes lines, the Acne Fighting Foundation (also available in six shades; $6) conceals, heals ans soothes skin with witch hazel, camphor aloe and tea tree, and the Studio HD Lifting Concealer (available in six shades; $3) with vitamin C, green tea and mulberry to minimize and prevent fine lines and imperfections.

Skintimate brought me into its celebration of new Signature Scents Moisturizing Shave Gels ($2.79 for the 7 oz bottle; Raspberry Rain only available in a 2.75 oz can for $1.99) yesterday with a colorful (and flavorful) box of the delicate dessert du jour, macarons, from Maison Lauduree in NYC and three of its newest offerings. There’s a scent for every desire, with fragrances including Luscious Kiwi Splash, Jasmine Meadows, Flirty Mango, Strawberry Tangerine Twist, Tropical Splash, and Raspberry Rain. Each bottle includes 11 moisturizers, vitamins (B5, E) and an antioxidant to protect, hydrate, and smooth. Plus, it’s great timing, as even though the summer is ending (boo!!!) sleek, shaved legs are ALWAYS in season! Good timing too, as my brand new Schick Quattro for Women Disposables Limited Edition Floral Razor Pack for sensitive skin (with two hypo-allergenic aloe formula conditioning strips; $7.39 for a 3-pack) was starting to get VERY lonely in the shower!

As the weather turns warmer, skirt lengths tend to rise, and hosiery vanishes, leaving feet to finally don sultry heels and legs to be bare to the world. This always means it’s time to prep and create a silky smooth skin effect, which can most easily and quickly be achieved by some razor assistance. This past week I attended the coupling of Schick’s latest products for women alongside some stunning Jimmy Choo stilettos at the brand’s Madison Avenue boutique/shoe haven. Without well-hydrated, shaved legs, let’s admit it: heels just don’t garner the same attention!

So go ahead and get your legs/armpits/lady bits ready for stiletto/short skirt/bikini season with these new, updated, and limited edition products from Schick:

Schick Intuition 2013 Limited Edition Handle Designs

Tthe lather-and-shave razor that has an ergonomic handle and skin conditioners that for this season, come in Naturals Sensitive Care (green, pictured) that has enriched Vitamin E and aloe, and the Renewing Moisture with Pomegranate Extract (pink) which includes pomegranate extract and conditioners. ($9.99)

Schick Quattro for Women Trimstyle Handle Now in Pink:

The bikini trim AND razor handle has been recolored with a pink handle for summer, and if you haven’t tried it before, you’ll find all that you need in the package (AAA battery, shower hanger, razor cartridge, handle), to get your bod free of unwanted hair in a jiffy. The trimmer is waterproof, so adjust the comb to the desired length and take it in the shower with you for an effortless shave. ($10.99)

Schick Hydro Silk Refillable Razor with Limited Edition Travel Cover (pictured above)

Featuring water-activated moisturizing serum & 5 curve-sensing blades, you will get a precise shave with the Hydro Silk, time after time, without having to worry about cuts or scrapes occurring thanks to the built in skin guards. For me, the most exciting part is the pearlized travel cover, which easily snaps into place over the blade so you can bring it with you on vacation, to the gym, etc, and not have to worry about the exposed blade! ($9.99)

Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor for Women

I have recently re-embraced the convenience of a disposable razor, thanks to Schick, and learned that the razor on their disposables is the same as the refillable ones; it just comes down to your preference of wanting a refillable razor or not! The Hydro Silk Disposable Razor touts the same benefits as the refillable version, so choose whichever one suits your habits best! ($9.99 for a 3-pack)

Now, I would say I’m about ready to shimmy into a sexy pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and strut, don’t you?
