Incorporate Love Into Your Home Year-round

Love_Heart_Valentines_Day_Julee_Ireland_TelevisionFebruary 14 is the day that we celebrate love but I believe that love should be celebrated every day.  I recently had the pleasure of sharing these four simple tips to incorporate love into your home and life year-round on the Studio 10 Tampa show with Stephanie Webb and Toby Hall and I wanted to share them with all of you. Yes, that’s Toby Hall as in the former Major Baseball League pro baseball player for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He was the co-host for the day and it was quite fitting as his Anniversary was on February 14! We had a lot of fun. Be sure to watch the video clip on our blog and I hope these tips bring lots of love into your home.

Love_Valentines_Day_Julee_Ireland_Studio10_Tampa_News_Toby_Hall

1. The entry to your home is your first impression and it’s the perfect place to set the tone for Love. People tend to glance to the right as they enter a home so it’s a great place to display a beautiful table with an open bowl or a family or couples portrait on the wall holding hands, sharing a kiss or family hug. Remember, if you enter a home with a feeling of Love, you will exit with Love.
2. Out of our five senses, the strongest is our sense of smell. Scents remind us of people, places, and life experiences that we love. A scent has the ability to transcend us to another time and place. Placing candles or essential oil room fragrance throughout your home in various scents that fit the mood that you wish to evoke in each room, is a great way to connect your sense of smell to your heart and home. You can easily create feelings of happiness, harmony, tranquility and Love. Lemon and Orange is uplifting, Lavender is calming and is known to relive stress, Eucalyptus promotes balance, and Vanilla or Ylang Ylang is alluring and romantic. My candle pick besides my own soy candles at www.juleeireland.com is a line I discovered at Cosmoprof called Naturally Bare. These are Reiki Infused Organic Soy Candles with a line of body products. I love that they are all natural, affordable and I love the clean sophisticated look of the line!  www.naturally-bare.com
3. There’s no better way to bring instant love into any room in your home than through a vase of fresh, fragrant, colorful flowers. Choose a vase that fits the look and feel of your room and use a variety of seasonal stems that match your accent color in your room to brighten your space year around. When it comes to roses my favorite company is Spring in the Air Luxury Roses.  What could be better than two dozen Roses fresh from the grower in Colombia sent straight to your doorstep? I order the roses monthly and because they are fresh they last two to three times longer than flowers that you purchase through a supplier such as a florist or grocery store.  They are the most beautiful roses ever! I promise you will love them. www.springintheair.com It’s a Glam Thing exclusive. Use coupon code WOW at checkout for 15% off your order!
4. Surround yourself with Love at home by displaying meaningful art, photos, books, or words to remind you daily of the things that matter most in your life. Make your home a gallery filled with Love. Wayfair is my go to place for everything for the home. They have great prices and something for everyone’s taste.  The wall art I featured on the show is from Wayfair.  www.wayfair.com

I hope these tips and a few of my favorite brands help you to celebrate love year-round. xoxo

First, Hay started by moisturizing Selena’s skin with the Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Day Lotion followed by a fine application of the Burt’s Bees BB Cream in Medium to brighten up the skin, giving it the perfect dewy finish.

As for lips, “I used Burt’s Bees NEW Lipstick in Nile Nude for a sheer beige to contrast the smoky eye,” says Hay.

Get the look from the Malan Breton show using Cargo Cosmetics

get-the-look from the Malan Breton show using Cargo Cosmetics.

 

Created by lead artist, Joey Sanchez for Cargo Cosmetics, the look was dubbed “Gotham Disco Dollies” and played off the 70s and 80s glam inspired collection. The face was made up of high impact shine on eyelids and cheekbones, with cancelled out brows and a bright, strong lip.  
Get-the-look from Joey Sanchez:

 

PRIME THE FACE

  • Prime the face using the Cargo HD Picture Perfect Pore Refining Primer followed by foundation.

CANCEL OUT THE BROWS

  • Use wax on the brows to create a base for cancelling. This is not a total drag queen style, but we took a page out of those fierce ladies’ book! Layer on the wax and use translucent powder until completely flattened and matte.
  • Cover the brow using a creamy concealer with a thick consistency as opposed to liquid foundation. I used Cargo Cosmetics’ Double Agent Concealing Balm.
  • I then went back and lined the inner part of the brow with the Brow Pencil and set it with powder.

 

HIGHLIGHT AND CONTOUR

  • Match concealer to the model’s inner wrist to find the right shade for highlighting and drawing their features forward. This is a tip I use to bring forth dimensions in the face. Finish with Cargo HD Picture Perfect Pressed Powder all over to set.
  • Now that you have your perfect, blank canvas – we get to do the fun stuff! We used the Cargo ColorStick in “Champagne” as an eye shadow base and used it to highlight cheekbones followed by the Matte Bronzer for contouring.

 

ADD LOTS OF SHEEN AND DEFINITION TO THE EYES

  • We used a mix of the Cargo Eye Shadow Single in “Toronto” with the Colorstick in “Champagne” for the eyes. Lots of shimmer and sheen that look amazing – almost wet – under the runway lights.
  • The hot lights made Cargo’s Swimmables water-resistant (aka sweat proof!) line a must. We lined using the Eye Pencil in “Black Sea.” I winged out the liner diffusing as I go for a more blended look. We also lined the inner waterline and lower lashes.
  • I added falsies for lots of drama and finished the look off with Cargo’s new Boundless Lashes Mascara.

 

FINISH WITH A STRONG RED POUT

  • For the lips, I primed with the HD Lip Primer, lined using Swimmables Lip Pencil in “Moscow” and then made a custom blend of the Essential Lip Color in “Paris” and “Sedona” for that beautiful red shade. Topped it off with a shimmer Lip Gloss on the bottom pout and cupid’s bow in “Belgium.”

Celebrity Makeup Artist, Lisa Aharon, created Florence Welch’s 2016 Grammy Awards look

unnamed-2

Celebrity Makeup Artist, Lisa Aharon, created Florence Welch’s 2016 Grammy Awards look with the help of Burt’s Bees. Here, Aharon shares how to get Florence Welch’s red carpet look.

Aharon first began by prepping Florence’s skin with Burt’s Bees Repair Serum, to instantly revive her skin. She then used Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner to cleanse Florence’s skin. In terms of hydration, Aharon combined the Burt’s Bees Repair Serum with Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream for light moisture that’s less reflective on camera. Lastly, she provided a few dabs of the Burt’s Bees Brightening Eye Treatment to hydrate the delicate under areas to complete the skin preparation.

For the lips Aharon began by scrubbing Florence’s lips lightly with a Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleansing Towelette with Cotton Extract. This helped slough off any dead skin so that Burt’s Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm with Kokum Butter would then be absorbed properly. This helped prepare the lips, so that lipstick would go on smoothly and evenly. To complete the lips, Aharon applied Burt’s Bees NEW Lipstick in Iced Iris as the perfect shade to complete her look.
