“Rock out” with Adreamrocks!

In the 20 something years I have been on this Earth I never thought I would see the day when bling would be on swimwear and towels. I have loved bling since I first saw Cher and now my dear friend Tiffany Ward brings all the bling to life with her company Adreamrocks: Towels that Rock Style. Not just towels though….bathing suits as well!!!

I first met Tiffany at the M.I.A 2 The Bay fashion show as she showcased her blinged out swimwear & again saw her at the VIP Exclusives Fashion Show where she showcased even more surprises for us. Tiffany started her career as a women’s fashion designer for Laura Ashley & Pursuits at Carson Pirie & Scott/Bon-Ton Stores in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Later became a designer for Harley Davidson. Seriously this women does it all! She also hold a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design.

Each bathing suit top, bottoms, & all her towels are made with dedication, love and utmost passion. Every time she hits a runway or a photo shoot, they definitely “shine bright like a diamond”. Some made with Swarovski Crystals and a special heat bonding, your Adreamrocks is made to last. At the VIP Exclusives, Adreamrocks introduced the new bridal collection, Goddess Gold swimsuit and tutu swim cover ups. Also, while I was there I received the greatest gift you could ever ask for. My very own Adreamrocks blinged out towel in cheetah print! Now I can too rock out in style while in the sun. I cannot thank you enough Tiffany. You are a ROCKstar 🙂

So who doesn’t want some bling in their life?! Especially while on the beach? Get your very own swimsuit, towel, home décor towels and more now at www.adreamrocks.com and learn more about this awesome lady of bling!

Beautify with Derma E

Beautify Your Skin with Derma E Purifying Toner Mist and 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask!

Summer is a time when you want to purge your skin of all toxins to leave it clean, clear and radiant. Recently, I came across two products that work well together to decongest your pores and rebalance your skin. The result? Beautiful, youthful skin with that summer glow!

Derma E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask contains marine algae and activated charcoal. It decongests pores of excess sebum, dirt and toxins. And it also gently exfoliates away harmful micro pollutants. Upon application, it actually looks black like charcoal! I massaged it on my face and concentrated on areas such as the chin, forehead and nose. It is cool and soothing and dries to a clay-like consistency.

After you remove it with a warm cloth, you skin is left silky smooth and so soft! I followed up with Derma E Purifying Toner Mist to refresh my skin. This product also fortifies your skin against environmental pollutants with marine algae and green tea antioxidants.

This two-step system is so easy to do and the results are amazing! I followed up with my moisturizer and was ready to start my day! Quick, convenient and with miraculous results, Derma E, you made my day! http://dermae.com/

Stand out above the crowd with Prestige

Prestige Cosmetics Total Intensity line is just what it says it is…INTENSE. I always loved adding bright vibrant colors into my makeup looks but sometimes, with my pale skin, no matter how intense they were they just never seemed to show up. With the Total Intensity line now us “porcelain canvas’ ” can rock out some vibrant colors. As you could see in my video (posted below) there is a lot of colors to choose from. Let me break down each one for you so you can get up close & personal with each one.

Total Intensity Prestige Cosmetics line (L-R) Lip Crayons, Mascara, Eye Liners, Shadow Crayon, Intensity Eye Shadows

Total Intensity Prestige Cosmetics line (L-R) Lip Crayons, Mascara, Eye Liners, Shadow Crayon, Intensity Eye Shadows

First off lets talk lips. The Total Intensity Lip Crayon is a smooth, luscious lip crayon that is long lasting and packed with color. Its discreet packaging makes it easily transportable and the greatest thing about the Total Wear Lip Crayons is when applying there is no need to add lip liner. Unless you want to. With its pointed edge it makes applying lips so much easier.

Now lets move on to the eyes. Let’s talk Total Intensity Color Rush colors. The design reminds me of a seashell. I received the “On the Prowl” which I love that name because it reminds me of my favorite animal.. the tiger. On The Prowl Color Rush is perfect combination of high, even pigment, and controlled application. It also has skin benefiting agents and looks gorgeous as an accent color. They work extremely well with the Fierce Color Eye shadows. I have Hocus Pocus & Obsession which are also great for use as liquid eyeliner. More high pigment and fun colors the possibilities are endless. Have fun with this one!

Watch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoo7ldglVxU

When wanting a metallic, “foiled” on look, go for the True Metals from Total Intensity. Does not crease, easily buildable application so you can go as bold or as subtle as you like. I have used “Sterling” even wet and got an even more intense look. So much fun!
Now onto the trios. Three intense long lasting pigments packed into one package. Perfect for a “high fashion” edgy look with the three colors. Again very highly pigmented, long lasting and intense lol. Smoke & Mirrors will give you that perfect smoky eye. And that brings me to the eye shadow stick. A creamy textured eye shadow crayon that does not smudge and is long lasting giving you an incredibly bold pop of color. Jungle War green makes eye colors pop!

And of course last but not least, no eye look is complete without eyeliner and mascara. The Total Intensity eyeliners are waterproof, last up to 10 hours and have beautiful deep black undertones. This really makes all the colors accent your natural eye color beautifully. I tried to take off my eyeliner and had to wash my eyes 3 times just to get it completely off. They mean waterproof! Then those lashes need some intensity as well. With its uniquely designed wand. you can get the perfect coating and long luscious lashes instantly. Does not come off and wont smudge.
So if you want to “stand out above the crowd” check out http://www.prestigecosmetics.com/total-intensity.html Total Intensity line. Have some Intense fun now!
