LOS ANGELES – Aida Cosmetics is known for their charitable contributions but this time they would like to help children and families. Kids Cures is a non-profit organization that gives emergency assistance to families with kids suffering with cancer and other forms of childhood illnesses. For the entire month of April the celebrity endorsed makeup brand, Aida Cosmetics, will donate 10% of all profits to Kids Cures.

Get Into the Spring of Things with Avon Eyeshadow Quads

th-6

I love the colors in the Avon Eyeshadow Quad!  I tried the “Freshcut Greens” and the colors blended smoothly with no dividing lines or creases.  The colors are perfect for me which helps me to really love this quad.  Four compatible colors come packaged in a locking compact with a nice mirror that is large enough to actually see what I am doing.  Avon was thoughtful enough to put a small diagram on the back suggesting how to use the four colors most effectively.  Never hurts to have a little guidance for those of us that are used to only wearing one or two colors.  Of course, it is always nice to read “Made in the USA” on a product when I am spending my hard earned money.  Thanks Avon for a really nice product!

Bring Out Your Adventurous Side With Lancome Gel Liner

image001
Normally I am not very adventurous with makeup. I typically go for very natural colors that I know look good on any eye color. Yet after years of using every shade of glittery brown, I mixed it up in a very subtle way.  In addition to my neutral brown eye shadow I lined my top lid with a nice, thick line of Lancôme gel liner. But not just any Lancôme gel liner, the one I use is GREEN! It is a gorgeous green-blue color, number 500 called Emerald Seductive! And it sure is seductive! It does not look obnoxiously green on the lid, which is great for the everyday look I want to achieve. What I love most about this liner is that it makes my green eyes really stand out! I get complemented on my eyes every time I wear it! Besides making my eyes standout this liner is great because is smooth to apply and does not smudge throughout the day! It is both smudge proof and waterproof! Over all it is a great, easy to use, gel liner that can add some seduction to any look!

Eco Chic: The New Trend in Skin Care

 

Just like every women, I put on my makeup in the morning and I take it off at night.  It’s like a cycle, we always wash our face at night to get rid of all the impurities and debris from the day. Although, I have noticed form personal experience that sometimes at night I do not always want to wash my face because I am too tired from the day.  Many times I would just go to bed without washing my face I was that tired.

When I started using Giovanni Eco Chic Cleansing Wipes, I never went to bed with my makeup on again.  All you need is one wipe and it takes all your makeup off without leaving your face feeling sticky or oily.  My main concern with any skin care is the fact that my skin is so sensitive to many of them.  Eco Chic Cleansing Wipes are dermatologist tested and fragrance free, keeping sensitive skin in mind.  Not only will these wipes cleanse your face, they will also hydrate and tone your skin to leave it looking soft, supple and healthy looking by drawing out toxins and exfoliating ones skin.

So next time you need a quick cleanse to remove the day away from your face try Giovanni’s Eco Chic Wipes.

Lush…Vivid…Exotic…ARBONNE’S Treasure of the Rainforest Collection


Are you looking for a new makeup look to show off this summer?  Lucky for you, Arbonne Cosmetics has created a beautiful cosmetic set called Treasure of the Rainforest and this 4 shadow pallette is designed for all skin types.   All of the new colors are “inspired by nature including Waterfall, Passion Flower, Bamboo and Earth” ,  according to Arbonne Cosmetics themselves.  Some of the key ingredients that are present in the eye shadow formula are cucumber extract, mallow extract, and vitamins A, c and E.  “I was so thrilled to try all of these earth tone colors.  I had noticed that creating an eye popping look was very simple because of the eye shadow’s pigmentation.  You can choose to use one or all four of the colors in the palette.”

Not ony has Arbonne created an eye shadow palette, but included in the set is a vibrant reddish orange lip color called Nectar.  This lip color is one of the hottest trends for Spring and Summer this year.  Some of the key ingredients consist of vitamins A, C and E, wild Mango Butter, Pomegranate Extract Aloe and Barbadensis Leaf extract.

To compliment the eye shadow palette and lip color, an exclusive “Arbonne” designed handbag was created.  Also, for all you animal lovers out there, both the eye shadow pallatte and lip color are vegan certified and not tested on animals.  I promise that you will have so much fun creating both dramatic and neutral eye shadow looks.

To order your Treasure of the Rainforest Collection visit https://www.arbonne.com/shop_online  Arbonne also carries an extensive line of skincare products, gift sets, bath and body products, fragrances and so much more.  Their website is a must see.

I chose all 4 colors as shown on the left.

It’s a British Invasion, but this time it’s not music

With London’s fashion flare in cosmetics, it is fun to try the newest and best of their latest products. I personally believe that cosmetics are the key point in every womens life. We don’t really need them but we feel that when we are wearing makeup we feel pretty and more confident about our look.
With so many cosmetics lines out there we are bombarded with questions. Questions like “what will this product do that another won’t”? and “Which line will be the best for me”?

Having been trained in many different lines I have found one cosmetics line that is not only “pocket friendly” but is also great when it comes to long lasting eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick application. It is Rimmel London Cosmetics. With colors for every eye shade, Rimmel London ‘s “Glam Eyes” eyeshadow and eye liner, your eyes are sure to pop and say “hello”. Each little eyeshadow pallet has instructions on the back as to where each “highlight” or “lowlight” color can be placed on your eyelid. It helps those who are just starting to wear makeup or those who just want a different look.

A fellow cosmetologist of mine (in the picture above) is wearing the dark blue Rimmel London pallet. I think it really makes her eyes stand out.
So next time you are in the cosmetics department of your favorite Walmart or Walgreens, or even online at rimmellondon.com , look for Rimmel London “Glam Eyes” and try it for your self. I’m sure you will love it.
