Lauren B Beauty Nail Couture introduces 8 NEW Fall Colors that are Perfect for Back to School

unnamed-2

Inspired by Los Angeles, each shade offers a compelling departure from the standard. For fall, her discerning eye landed on a range of influences, which she’s recast in sexy jewel tones and rich earthy shades. A sunset viewed from the Griffith Park observatory reappears as a pink-rose-khaki polish. An iridescent, shell-white tone nods to Shutters on the Beach, Lauren’s favorite local hotel and spa. A deep iris purple plays off the energy of gardens in Hancock Park. And a shimmery violet pink repeats the shade of a treasure scored at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Bonus: Each polish is supremely eco-centric, fast-drying, and as glossy and long-wearing as a salon gel manicure!

Price: 18.00

Linda Eisner offers Simple Tricks that Will Enhance Your Eyes

Here is a simple trick that looks great on everyone. It opens up the eyes to make them appear bright, fresh and larger. In my opinion, too many people wear dark colors on the upper lid. This adds weight and makes the eye look smaller and tired. By applying a light color along the upper lash line, the eye is not weighed down. We need to add a dark seductive color on the bottom lash line to shape and contour underneath the eye. Apply mascara and you will see how the light color shows through the mascara and opens up your eyes. Like magic, your eyes will appear bigger and brighter.

Pencil Me In offers a terrific selection of upper lid colors. For example, 24 Karat, Pink Lady, Denim, Sky, Mint, Platinum, Meteor, Purple Passion, and Snow are colors for enhancing the upper lid. In addition, we offer pencils with subtle glitter. They are called the “Sparks”; Champagne Sparks, Mint Sparks, Orchid Sparks, Pink Lady Sparks, Jet Sparks and Sky Sparks. Some darker colors that we suggest you use on the lower lash line are Amethyst, Black Velvet, Boysenberry, Brownie, Char-Kohl, Emerald City, Indigo, Lapis, Liberty Green, One Cent & Silky Suede. It is not necessary to match the same colors for upper and lower lids. Mix it up and/or match your clothing.

ABOUT: I’m Linda Eisner, the founder of Pencil Me In Cosmetics. I have over 30 years of experience designing, developing & creating cosmetics brands. If you are looking to create our own brand, I can help you. I created Pencil Me In natural eyeliner pencils for salons, spas, boutiques and healthy stores to be able to sell a quality product at a reasonable cost.

Zappos puts the U in Uniform

 

Zappo - Back to School, boy, girl

Zappos – Back to School

Just because your kids’ school requires them to wear a uniform, it doesn’t mean their personalities shouldn’t still have a chance to shine.
 
While many schools dictate the essentials (i.e. polos, khakis, white shoes, etc.), accessories and embellishments allow your kids to put the “you” in “uniform” and bridge the gap between conformity and individuality.
 
To that end, Zappos works with top brands to sell uniform apparel and footwear that offer quality, durability and the ability to be customized.
 
So, how can a uniform be customized*? Here are some ideas from Zappos’ team of back-to-school fashion stylists to help get your creative juices flowing:
 
  1. Get carried away with your backpack! Backpacks are an essential part of any school ensemble, whether your kids wear uniforms or not. Pins, accessories, fabric paint, key chain characters, and other colorful touches can help personalize one of the many backpacks on Zappos.com.
  2. Take a big step toward individuality by putting your best foot forward. If your school requires white shoes, take a pair of plain Keds, Vans or Converse and customize to your heart’s desire. Whether it’s through tie-dye, Sharpie art or acrylic paint, DIY-ing is a great way to spend quality time together before the kids head back to class.
  3. Speaking of shoes, if you think there’s only one standard way to tie shoelaces, think again! A quick online search yields dozens of step-by-step tutorials on creative ways to tie shoes. Choose from artful lacing styles like “The Starburst,” “The Basketcase” and “The Double Trouble.”
  4. Need a simple and cheap way for your kids to stay stylish under their school uniforms? Look no further than funky socks! Instead of opting for a traditional pair of dark gray or black socks, try embracing a little color and a whole lot of pattern for their feet.
  5. As fall approaches, it’s important for your kids to stay warm … and look cool. Zappos.com has a huge selection of jackets and coats in bright colors and cool patterns from top designers. And although they provide the perfect opportunity to show off their personalities, it’s not just about style — our line ofouterwear is as durable as it is fashionable to stand up against even the harshest of winters.
  6. When it rains, your kid’s personality can still shine. Umbrellas are a perfect way to show that a few showers don’t dampen your creativity. We have you covered (literally!) in the rain with designs likeBatman, Hello Kitty, and popular lines of umbrellas from Hatley Kids and Vera Bradley.
  7. School supplies like pencil cases, lunch bags, and binders are also perfect for customization. Before your kids get back to the books, have them get crafty with fun DIY projects that can make any ordinary school supply seem extraordinary.
  8. For girls, headbands, hair clips, ribbons, bracelets, necklaces and belts are just a few other options to show off their creativity. They may want to stick with a couple favorites, or wear a different combination every day. Just figure out what works within the dress code and then go for it.
  9. For boys, after school activities mean freedom from the classroom and the school uniform. Buy them some bold and bright athletic wear from Under Armour, Nike, or Adidas, and see their inner superstar shine through.
  10. For a final touch, why not add a fun and functional timepiece to the mix? It’s the perfect pop of personality on your kid’s wrist. Whether they prefer a more classic analog look or a bright and colorful digital watch, at least you’ll know they’ll always be fashionably on time for class.
*Be sure to check with your school to be sure what can be altered and what can’t.

Five reasons men are waxing today

Stript Wax Bar

Stript Wax Bar

Move Over Ladies, Five Reasons Men Are Waxing Today (and What They are Waxing)

According to IBISWorld, an independent research firm, the waxing and nail salon market in American is an $11 billion per year segment. It’s also growing at nearly eight percent each year. One reason for the growth is that men are tapping into the art of waxing and coming out smoother than ever. Some call it ‘manscaping,’ while others call it following the celebrity trends. Either way, the art of men getting waxed is here, and it’s here to stay.

“Men today are getting waxed for a variety of reasons,” explains Katherine Goldman, celebrity waxologist and owner of the Stript Wax Bar. “It’s been a growing trend for several years and it’s just becoming increasingly more popular. The more men that learn about their waxing options, the more that opt to have it done.”

Here are five reasons why men are opting for being waxed today:

  1. Aesthetics. Most men who get waxed do so because many people like the way it looks. Waxing offers a smooth and clean look that the men themselves prefer. Many men and women alike feel that men look sexier when they have been waxed.
  2. Feel. There are some men who have a lot more hair on their body than others. There are many men who seek waxing services to try to minimize that, which helps them to feel better and be more confident. The waxing helps to make them look great, as well as feel confident.
  3. Preferences. Some men get waxed because there are women who prefer the non-hairy look. If they have a wife, girlfriend, or significant other who prefers the waxed look, then there is a good chance they will opt to have it done regularly.
  4. Careers and interests. There are many men who are waxed because they need to be for work purposes or they are bodybuilders, who want to showcase the hard work they have been doing. There are many male actors, athletes, performers, entertainers, and bodybuilders, who wax on a regular basis.
  5. To understand. There are men who try waxing so that they can gain a better understanding of the process that the women in their life go through. It gives them a new perspective on what is involved in looking great and keeping up on it.

“We help men look sexier every day and we love that we can take part in doing that,” added Goldman. “There are waxing options for every man and every situation. It’s an art that is here to stay.”

One of the most popular waxing treatments that men are getting at Stript Wax Bar today is called the BROzillian, where they have their genital area waxed. Additional options include waxing the brow, nose, ears, chest, arms, back, and stomach. Men can opt for the full BROzillian, or the mini-BROzillian. Stript Wax Bar also offers signature soaps, including one for men called the Bro-Bar, which is all natural and can be used for washing everything in the shower, including the hair and body.

Stript Wax Bar has locations throughout California, including in Los Angeles, Palo Alto, Lafayette, Oakland, Pacifica, and San Jose. They specialize in offering top-of-the line waxing services for men and women, using the highest quality hard wax from Europe. In addition to waxing all areas of the body, they offer facials, spray tans, brow shaping, and make-up application. For more information, visit the website at: www.striptwaxbar.com.

These chic and fashionable colors have a high gloss shine and are extremely chip resistant. The streak-free formula also allows for easy application. It only took two coats to achieve this look, and I received many compliments on this color. I also like the Nail polish bottles. The pretty chrome cover certainly adds a bit of elegance to the bottles. The Jessica Robertson Collection has a Spring/Summer Color line and a Fall/Winter line, so there is a color for every occasion and every season.

Quickest Beauty Fix in Town is at Boom Boom Brow Bar

unnamed

August, 2015 (New York, NY) – Anyone who has 10 minutes and $25 can just walk right in to Boom Boom Brow Bar and walk out with GORG brows – it’s the quickest beauty fix in town.

Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, wants EVERYONE to have thick gorgeous eyebrows, so she made it convenient and affordable with instant results (gotta love it!)! Unruly, curly, stubborn brows that won’t behave? In rehab because of uncontrollable plucking? Loose that arch or have a hole? No prob, Boom Boom can fix anything!

Another reason to love Boom Boom Brow Bar, aside from the fabulous and talented brow experts, is brows are done sitting up and out in the open, because it’s better to judge brow shape – plus it’s super fast. “When you lay down, it changes the way the muscles and skin lay, so you get a better result if you shape brows upright,” says Boom Boom. They also use Flash Wax, a low temperature lipo-soluable (cream) wax, because it does not have to be heated at a high temperature, so it’s gentle on everyone, even on sensitive skin! Not to mention, they offer FREE lip with brow wax during happy hour (week days 4-5).

“Getting your brows to look gorgeous should be fun!” adds Boom Boom.

Malynda Vigliotti (aka Boom Boom) is obsessed with brows – 130,000+ served at Boom Boom Brow Bar in NYC! Everyone should have thick gorgeous eyebrows; after all, they are the most important feature on the face and THE best accessory EVA! Boom Boom knows there’s no such thing as natural beauty, but she does believe a perfectly done brow is an instant eyelift – no Botox necessary! She makes waxing fun and affordable for everyone, just walk-in! For more fabulousness, check out what’s cooking on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boomboombrowbar and Twitter: http://twitter.com/boomboombrowbar.
