Daily Style: Assorted Espresso Cups by BIA Cordon Bleu

This set of assorted espresso cups and saucers totally caught my eye – the bright mishmash of circles looks like a vibrant artist’s palette upon first glance, no?

The set of 6 cups and saucers coordinates perfectly without being too matchy-matchy. While it’s not suitable for every kitchen, I love it nonetheless; there’s something about the bright pops of color that bring a smile to my face, and let’s be honest, I need all the extra pep I can get in the morning!

(Aside: Not to be a word snob or anything, but does anyone else find it annoying when people say EXPRESSO? Haha.)

Assorted Espresso Cups and Saucers by BIA Cordon Bleu are available online at Bloomingdales.com for $34.99.

Molton Brown SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir

Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus

The dark, somewhat dreary fall days often leave me exhausted yet ironically keyed up.

Sometimes, I need to seek solace in beauty products to calm my nerves and slow myself down after a hectic day. This Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus Bathing Elixir sounds as though it would be a divine way to help myself drift off into dreamland.

Its moisture-rich formula contains Cedrus tree oil from the Atlas Mountains to aid in relaxation, sweet Florida orange oil and Bulgarian lavender oil. (I’m hoping I’ll love the scent as much as I love their Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil.)

SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir is part of the new Molton Brown’s new sleep body therapies range and is available online from MoltonBrown.com for $34.

Dior Skinflash Primer–Radiance Boosting Makeup Primer

dior skinflash primer

I’m super intrigued by this new primer from Dior – its packaging boasts a brush applicator, something not typically seen in the packaging of its competitors.

The formula utilizes photo-smart pigments with photochromic properties to create a light, beautifully lit-from-within complexion. The pigments are adaptable (code: the formula is sheer) and the formula contains radiance-boosting skincare goodies. The product is billed as a primer, but I’d be willing to bet that it would double well as a tinted moisturizer.

Dior Skinflash Primer – Radiance Boosting Makeup Primer is available from Sephora for $40.
