Painless, Innovative, Lipo in Costa Mesa

By Lisa Gal

Sculpted Beauty in Costa Mesa offers painless, bruise free, lipo with zero side effects, that is Cavi-Lipo. As seen on Fox TV Station KCOP My13, Sculpted Beauty has the most evolved system for the treatment of adipose areas & cellulitis. The treatment lasts only 40 minutes and you can see results in your first session. Want to know how it works? The Cavi-Lipo machine bombards the adipose (fat) with enough ultrasound waves to cause micro bubbles to form within the cell. Eventually those bubbles break their way out and eventually destroy the cell. Fat is then naturally metabolized by the body. Melt the fat away with ultrasound! Sculpted Beauty is providing gift certificates for the Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills this weekend honoring the 2015 Oscar nominees, talent and guests.

Crave For No Knots

By Lisa Gal

Pulling, breakage, tears and pain, does this describe your brush? Most brushes cause split ends and hair breakage, but the Crave detangling brush slides through with ease. Regardless of whether your hair is wet or dry this brush keeps hair loss to a minimum and who doesn’t want to hold on to their hair!? Great to use on kids, especially if they wake up with their hair in a big tangle, no more tears. The Hollywood Swag bags honoring Oscar talent and nominees staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills this weekend will receive one in their bag.

Top it off with Sally Hansen

​I recently got to try two polishes from Sally Hansen that my girlfriends and I have never tried before.  The colors are ​”Over the Rain Blue”  and “Goldi-Flecks” Topcoats. First, I love the  names, especially “Over the Rain Blue”. It’s an Overcoat. That is the proper name for this sort of polish and I never knew that until reading the Sally Hansen bottle. It’s best worn over a color polish but  it may look good alone, I did not try it that way yet. It’s a sequin polish and it’s $7.99, very affordable.
unnamed-1“Goldi-Flecks” is one of Sally Hansen’s Big Glitter Top Coats. It is glittery and shiny and even more affordable at just $4.99. Thiscolor, like “Over the Rain Blue” Overcoat is best worn over a color polish.

I liked working with these polishes and  I now know the differences in Overcoats and Top Coats. These came out at holiday time but this is for use all year long. I like both of them for another reason, when my color polish peels or chips after awhile, I can put one of Sally Hansen’s Top Coats  over it and you wont  notice the difference.

RITA ORA Show’s Off Her Smokin’ Rimmel London Makeup on the Grammy Red Carpet

unnamed-8

Rita Ora debuted a gorgeous silver crystal and sequined Prada dress that inspired makeup artist Kathy Jeung to create a strong, shimmering eye paired with a pale lip, keeping the focus on the eyes.

Kathy started by priming Rita’s skin with the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer to ensure her makeup would last through the night. She gave Ora’s skin a bronzed glow with Rimmel London Sun Shimmer in Sun Kiss.

For the eyes, Jeung says “I wanted to give Rita a smokey eye that incorporated glittering silver to match the color of the dress.” To accomplish this she lined the upper lash line with the Rimmel London Soft Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in Dark Brown. Over that she used the darkest color from the Rimmel London Glam’Eyes Quad Eye Shadow Palette in Smokey Noir with a small brush to set and enhance the lower eye area. Then she accented the inner corners with the Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in Silver and finished this sparkling eye look with the NEW Rimmel London Wonder’Lash Mascara with Argan Oil.

Kathy completed Rita’s look with a soft lip using the Rimmel London Provocalips 16 Hour Kissproof Lip Color in Skinny Dipping to ensure her pale pout stayed put all night.

Beauty at its best

I really wish I was in New York this week to be a part of history in the making. Modeling for Carrie Hammer’s “Role Models not Runway Models” is 30 year old actress Jamie Brewer, the first model in New York Fashion history to walk the runway with down’s syndrome.

Jamie Brewer

Jamie Brewer

Carrie chose Jamie, out of thousands of applicants, to walk the runway. Her campaign “Role Models not Runway Models” has real women with real top of the line jobs showcasing her fashions. Jamie is a real role model. Active in the Down Syndrome community, Jamie is the youngest person with this condition to be elected president of the ARC of Fort Bend Chapter. She is not afraid to show the world just who she is and I feel others can look up to her.

I like writing about real things and Jamie is a true to life woman who has overcome her fears. She doesn’t let anything hold her back from following her dream. You and I shouldn’t either. She shows us that everyone is beautiful because its how you define yourself not how others define you. Jamie is a definite beauty and a real role model for all women. Great job Jamie! 🙂
