We’re back with Take 5 for beauty with Marta Walsh of Talking Makeup, one of America’s top beauty and fashion blogs. Each month, Marta brings us her beauty tricks and top picks for looking lovely everyday.

1.Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria: When it comes to perfumes no one does it better than Calvin Klein. Already a big fan of the original Euphoria, this one doesn’t disappoint. Look out for the following fragrance notes: Sparkling Mandarin, Peach Blossom, Iced Raspberry, Pink Peony, Tiger Orchid, Jasmine, Cashmere Woods, Patchouli Absolute, Skin Musk. To me this one smells lighter than the original.

2. REN Micro Polish Cleanser: The Brits have Rock & Roll as their best export, but these days their brilliant organic and natural skincare is rockin’ as well. This face scrub smells of refreshing citrus and and is part of REN’s new skin radiance skincare collection.

3. Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo: One of the best hair clarifying shampoos out there, hands down. It strips the build-up, yet leaves your hair manageable and soft. Also great for washing out bad hair-dye job!

4. Clarins Instant Liquid Eyeliner: Clarins is associated with skincare, but don’t be afraid to dive into their makeup. This eye liner is very bold black, easy to apply and super long lasting, sure to endure hot weather of the desert. I wear it everyday.

5. Red Door Spa at Biltmore Fashion Park:  One of the most luxurious beauty destinations in Phoenix and Scottsdale area. I go to the Red Door Spa for facials, and hair color. Ask for Alfredo. Last time he did miracles in color correcting my mistakenly dyed black hair into blonde highlights in just 1 week! And while you there make sure to grab an Elizabeth Arden classic red lipstick: Ceramide Ultra Lipstick Rouge.
