Eye Color by Senna Cosmetics

 

I usually don’t wear eye shadow, but I made the exception and tried these beautiful shades by Senna Cosmetics.  Part of the reason I don’t wear eye shadow is because I wear red lipstick, but there are occasions when I’m sporting a different lip color.   

I tried eye colors in – Lynx, Python and Solar.  They were easy to blend and I loved the jewel tone effect they had on my skin.   

Senna Eye Colors come in assorted colors and textures.  They are discreet and glamorous colors with sparkling pigment.  The pigments are gentle making them FDA approved for delicate eyes.    

So the next time you want Gorgeous Eyes try Eye Color by Senna Cosmetics.

The Plane Truth about Brows

http://www.christiharris.com

Eyebrows do change your whole face and the perception people have of you.  I had a facial appointment and walked out with an eyebrow consultation. My aesthetician asked for permission to touch up my brows, being eyebrow challenged I didn’t hesitate.

When she finished, she stood back admiring her work and said “Good, now you don’t look like a deer in headlights.”

I knew I was eyebrow challenged but I had no idea I was being perceived as dumb. I was grateful and booked another eyebrow appointment with my aesthetician for the following two weeks.

I recently discovered Christi Harris – the Beautiful Brow guru.  I had the opportunity to experience eyebrow mapping and other forms of eyebrow grooming.

I loved the Lift-N-Lite, it enhanced my brow arch by camouflaging discolorations and damage caused by my over tweezing and waxing. It also lifted my brow area giving me a more youthful appearance.

The Seal-N-Shine is hair spray for your brows, it kept my eyebrows in place while adding a sheer natural sheen. The key ingredient is protein for brow strength and fullness.  So go ahead and SEAL the deal with SHINE!

I’ve tried countless of self tanners and tanning moisturizers.  This is the first time a tinted moisturizer absorbed quickly, leaving my skin soft and moisturized.

Glow Lotion wasn’t messy and the scent was clean and fresh.  It was more like a treat for my skin than routine maintenance.

This amazing lotion is made by Nature’s Organics. It’s a two-in-one lotion that soothes the skin and leaves you looking like a bronzed Goddess all at once.  The shade deepens over a period of time giving you a healthy glow.

C – California Style

C - California Style Magazine

I have several favorite magazines and I count C – California among them.  It’s an informative magazine about California for Californians.

It mentions every new Bakery, Restaurant, Club, Boutique and Designer – from home furnishings to fashion, that open or emerge out of California.  All the way from Southern California to Northern California.

I enjoy the Social section that mentions the countless list of Celebrities and Socialites that attended last nights Fundraiser or Gala.

I’m a big fan of their Objects of Desire and Trunk Show section.

The Non-Surgical Eye Lift

http://www.neocutis.com

I started using eye cream when I was fifteen years old. I came from the school of thought that eye creams were all the same, that as long as I was using one I would be fine.

Not true. Lately I’ve been worried about my eyes, they appeared smaller and I noticed wrinkles for the first time in my life.  I tried eyelash curlers and mascara but to no avail my eyes still didn’t look like I remembered.

I read about LUMIERE and gave it a trial run.  I was patient and after three weeks I finally started to see the eyes I remembered.  I look like I had a mini eye lift.  I can only imagine what my eyes are going to look like in three more weeks.

LUMIERE is a BIO-restorative eye cream with PSP* – it’s an Anti-aging eye cream that helps Energize, Revitalize and Rejuvenate the delicate eye area.

LUMIERE key ingredients:

1) PSP* and hyaluronic acid – helps firm and hydrate

the delicate eye area under and around the eyes, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces the apprearance of under eye darkness.

2) Caffeine– helps alleviate skin puffiness, helps sooth and refresh the delicate eye area to help minimize the signs of fatigue.

I learned that surgical procedures are unnecessary if you use age appropriate skin care, and have the patience to allow the product to work its magic.

There will be some skin care products where the results will be immediate and there will be others like LUMIERE that require 3-6 weeks.  Remember that results vary depending on each individual person.

Incredibly Soft&Silky Red Carpet Hair

Pro Treatment

During my twenties I experimented with hair dye, stripping my hair from black to brown and every color in-between.  I damaged my hair and have since been unable to find a hair care product that could give me back the hair I was born with.       

Finding the right hair care product was like searching for the Holy Grail, until recently.  I tried a miracle hair treatment mask that gave me back healthy hair – I.S.H Rescue.      

I.S.H Rescue is an Ionic professional hair treatment mask that is made with(HRC) Hair Renewal Crystals – the crystals come from the jojoba plant found in the Sonoran Desert. It’ intense hydration and moisture for the hair from the inside and out.     

The hair mask works when heat is applied from the use of a flat-iron or hair dryer. The heat dissolves the HRC crystals and the moisture penetrates the hair shaft – creating soft and silky hair that lasts for 4-6 weeks.       

It’s important to follow directions and to use the One Minute Miracle Treatment Mask once a week to help maintain results.  The One Minute miracle treatment mask can also be used as a leave in hair conditioner.  I recently started using it that way. The results are healthy hair that is incredibly silky and shiny.       

To maintain the benefits of the Ionic hair mask treatment I recommend that other Ionic hair care products are used in-between at home or professional salon visits.  I also urge patience, it’s a lot of work but it’s worth it.  This product is an insider trade secret – the results are Red Carpet Hair!     

My aquis hair towel and comb glided through my hair. My hair hasn’t looked this silky soft in years.

Glorious, Long-Lasting Lip Color

http://www.ybskin.com

Opening the tube of lipstick sent me into rapture, I had to sit down.  The shade reminded me of Hedy Lamarr – 1930’s -1940’s Vixen and Goddess.

Hedy Lamarr in her day was described as being the most beautiful woman in the world.  She had gorgeous dark hair, big eyes and she wore Red Lipstick. I remember seeing her for the first time on the big screen, she played Delilah in Cecil B DeMille’s Samson & Delilah.

I associated being beautiful with strong, independent women who wore Red Lipstick.

I couldn’t wait to try on the color, I paired Vixen with lip pencil in Truly Red, it instantly gave me that Je Ne Sais Qua that only a great red can give.

The color was lush and gorgeous, the texture was a velvet matte finish that kept my lips hydrated during afternoon coffee.

~ RevitaBrow ~

Eyebrow Conditioner

Everyone who knows me, knows I over tweeze. I developed an eyebrow complex after my childhood playmates (Rudy, Renee, and Abel) refered to me as UniBrow.

I’ve basically remained eyebrow challenged through out my whole adult life, until now that I started testing RevitaBrow.

I’ve been faithfully applying RevitaBrow on my eyebrows every night for the past two weeks.  This is the best my eyebrows have looked since I can remember, my eyebrows no longer looked skimpy or shapeless.

RevitaBrow is an eyebrow conditioner that enhances your natural eyebrows, making them look darker, thicker and fuller. My eyebrows finally have some definition after all these years of trying to grow them out.

When RevitaBrow is applied nightly to a clean brow you will begin to see the appearance of healthier eyebrows in a matter of weeks.

Seaweed Peptide Serum

Seaweed Peptide Serum

I’m in love with the Seaweed Peptide serum, I’ve been using it as the core serum for my skin.  It works great alone or paired with other products.  The SeaWeed Peptide worked beautifully with my other skin care products, intensifying the benefits of using age appropriate skin care.

My skin absorbed the Seaweed Peptide, keeping my skin hydrated and nourished throughout the day. Upon further inspection of my skin I could see that the Seaweed Peptide also worked as a healer, calming my skin from inflammation.

This magical serum stimulates collagen and increases elastin.  The Seaweed used in the Peptide Serum is the type that can absorb 10,000 times the amount of vitamins found in the ocean, it’s pure and natural.  It’s concentrated, so that only a few drops are needed for a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Veronica Barton-Schwartz is a leading skin care expert in Southern California, creating a unique skin care line that incorporates the best of European skin care and the latest American biotechnology.

Educating myself about proper skin care has taught me that you can transform your skin and maintain healthy skin by using age appropriate skin care, having a face lift these days is unnecessary.

Veronica Skin & Body Care Center offers various services that involve non-surgical procedures.  Veronicas mission is to educate men and women alike to age gracefully and to live a healthier lifestyle.  Everyone can have healthy glowing skin.

And for those of us that can’t kick the Botox habit, the use of the Seaweed Peptide Serum extends the length of Botox – it’s an amazing serum that enhances the skin from within.

~ Mineral Radiance Moisture Tint ~

Mineral Radiance Moisture Tint

 

I’ve been wearing makeup since I was fifteen years old, I remember my cousin Rita telling me not to wear makeup, that once I started there would be no going back.  She was right.  My goal now is to give my skin the opportunity to breathe, to heal from adult acne and other skin related issues.   

I use facial scrubs and mask on a regular basis, but I found myself reluctant to use any of the makeup products I already owned.  I hated the idea of covering my skin with products that did not allow my skin to breathe or heal.   

I researched and discovered Mineral Radiance Moisture Tint by Youngblood Cosmetics.   

The Moisture tint provided excellent coverage, it looked natural and evened out my skin tone.  The texture was light-weight, keeping my skin hydrated and moisturized.  I was more than pleased with the results.   

Pauline Youngblood Soli is the founder of Youngblood Cosmetics, and she’s a licensed Medical Aesthetician who worked closely with the best dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the business to develop a cosmetic that provided coverage for traumatized skin – while allowing the skin to breath and heal.   

Youngblood Cosmetics comes in a variety of palettes and shades, with realistic skin tones and gorgeous natural finishes.    

Mineral makeup is healthier for the skin, it’s made from natural pigments in the earth, it lacks the ingredients that can cause skin irritations and lowers the risk of allergic reactions.
