Make-up is a powerful tool for women to express themselves, enhance their natural beauty and/or boost self-confidence. Having the time to apply make-up is always a concern, never mind the talent because no one wants to look like a circus clown. As for me, I don’t have the time, the patience or the skill to apply. I never had a good relationship with make-up so I just gave up. Exploiting the naked face for a run, a hike, or at the gym is fine. Being dressed in the white collar environment, communicating with the public, I feel you need to look polished and finished. Without make-up, your outfit, shoes, pocketbook, and hair style seems undone. I was searching for a convenient, practical compact make-up that could add a pretty lip color, a sweep tint to my cheeks and a shadow in the socket above my eye, all in one, for a fresh glow that is pleasing, cheerful and sexy! Glen Badessa, president and creator of Immortal Cosmetics, carefully researched women that were juggling a career, a family and a household who want to have a polished face without the fuss of multiple cosmetics, brushes or applicators. Yes, we want it all and we want to look good trying! The 3-in-1 Facial Glaze by Immortal Cosmetics is an easy, quick, effective way to transform a tired face to a refreshed look in minutes! When I first applied the 3-in-1, I was impressed at how it glided on my skin and was comfortable to wear. I always frowned on make-up that was cakey or powdery which made it challenging for me to apply it well. I hate the heavy feeling of many brands of make-up on my face. We will not even discuss how the powder make-up settles into the fine lines and wrinkles which makes you look older and aggregates around dry skin for a not so pretty outcome.

The 3-in-1 Facial Glaze made my face feel silky, luxurious, and smooth adding a radiant glow evenly. It comes in three gorgeous shades: Golden Pink – a fresh, bright sheer color with gold undertones. Great for light skin and blondes. Mauve – a deeper sheer pink tone for medium to dark complexions. And my favorite Nu-Bronze – a shimmery sheer warm bronze tone for olive and dark complexions which is like capturing the radiant glow of the sun without ever catching a ray! The 3 glaze colors can be worn separately or together wearing the bronze on the eyes, mauve on your cheeks and the golden pink on your lips! The 3-in-1 Facial Glaze lets me enjoy my time without feeling the need to babysit my face with constant touch-ups! A make- up that lasts all day or night without fading, melting, or setting into fine lines is a keeper! An eye shadow, lip color, and blush all in one product has become essential for every on the go woman revealing a mood or an interior life! The functional, practical compact size is built to go places – no one wants to lug around their entire make-up case. The 3-in-1 Facial Glaze by Immortal Cosmetics is travel-friendly for a pocket, purse, desk drawer, or car compartment. Everyone can wear the 3-in-1 Facial Glaze because the sheerness of the product works with your own skin tone to customize your own individual look. A perfect holiday gift for all your friends and family! I cannot live without the 3-in-1 Facial Glaze, it made my life easier and prettier!

Hey Guys! My name is Elizabeth Small but most people call me “Lizzy!” I’m really excited to be starting my own blog here on It’s a Glam Thing! I am an eighteen-year old girl from Los Angeles, California and the youngest of four sisters. I have been dancing since the age of two, which pushed me into my acting and singing careers. I currently attend the University of California at Santa Barbara as a Communications/Film and Media Studies major and I live on the beach! Yes, I go to regular college and pursue my professional career—I know, it’s a little crazy! At times, it can be very challenging to balance schoolwork, sorority life as a Pi Beta Phi, auditions, interviews, meetings and more. But at the end of the day, I wouldn’t trade my crazy and overwhelming lifestyle. It is often times a wild roller coaster, but it is such an amazing adventure and I truly learn something new everyday. Last year, during my senior year of high school, I wrote and recorded my first four track EP with an awesome music producer named David Pramik. This past summer after my high school graduation, I decided to create a Kickstarter project to help fund the making of a music video for the single off my EP called “Gravity.” My project ended up being funded in 3 days and we went well over my initial goal; it was amazing to gain support from people all over the world and attract attention to my passion for music. In August, with the help of a great director named Sean Williams who cast me in an upcoming Syfy film called “Adam 8,” we put together a remarkable team and filmed my music video in two days! The first day was filmed at a studio and the second day at my own childhood home in my backyard! Filming my music video was so much fun. It ended up being one great big party combined with intense hard work. It was a wonderful experience that can never be replaced and it is something I will remember forever. This is just the beginning and I can’t wait to share my new experiences with its a glam thing! Feel free to check out my single “Gravity” on Soundcloud and my music video on Youtube. I’m so excited to begin this journey of explaining my quirky life to all of you. Here’s to swimming in the ocean, going to hot yoga with friends, dressing up for a frat party, filming scenes on a movie set, recording in the studio, to cramming for finals! Don’t forget to keep up with me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, IMDB, Youtube and Soundcloud. All these links can be found on my website: Elizabethsmall.com

XOXO,

Lizzy

All my life I have had very pale, snow white skin and tanning has never been a strong point of mine. One minute out in the sun I tend to turn a little on the red side. I have tried many self tanners before and either get really bad breakouts or turn orange. It just seems that even when I follow the instructions to a “T” and exfoliate right before nothing worked. The first time I tried Dancing With The Stars Endurance body balm, self tanning mousse and their dazzle mist I can finally have a beautiful streak free tan without the harmful UV rays and breakouts. Also, best of all, I do NOT turn orange.

I use the Endurance body balm and Perfection mousse after my shower at night. Endurance acts also as a CC cream for your skin while the Perfection gives instant long lasting glow. These products work best when left to absorb into the skin for 2-8 hours or even longer between applications. I have found they work extremely well when I sleep.
