Be Good To Yourself With Good Earth Beauty

Want a completely natural and organic beauty routine? Then you need Good Earth Beauty. Good Earth Beauty is a natural and organic shop consisting of every beauty product you can think of from baby to pets to you. Never tested on animals, but tested and personally chosen by the staff you can guarantee you are getting the best products ever.

Lately it has been a little chilly here in Florida and I started noticing my skin and my lips were starting to get immensely chapped. I had the pleasure of getting to enjoy Good Earth Beauty for myself by trying their Chocolate Lip Scrub and Lavender Body Balm. Both smell and feel absolutely amazing and the lip scrub is good enough to eat, literally. One night after my shower I rubbed some of the body balm on my heels, elbows and used the scrub on my lips. In just 5 minutes I noticed a big difference on my lips and my skin. That’s all it took, just 5 minutes and I have been hooked ever since. Now every time I get out of the shower, instead of grabbing for my lotion, I grab my body balm.

Now you may be asking yourself, “what is body balm”? Well just like it says it is a balm but instead of it being for your lips its for your body. The same consistency and feel as lip balm, Good Earth Beauty body balm calms chapped skin, while the chocolate lip scrub adds incredible moisture, and smoothness.
So have great skin this holiday season with Good Earth Beauty. Makes an excellent gift for the one you just don’t know what give. Check out www.goodearthbeauty.com for more great products.

GiftSets_Holiday_NewSubCat_102814

Just thought I would spread a little early holiday cheer by sharing some of my favorite stocking stuffers.  I have the perfect gifts so you don’t have to rattle your brain when the shopping begins!  Burt’s Bees products are all natural and come in great gift sets!  All their products show the exact natural percentage on each package.  From 99% natural to 100% natural!  Some of the natural raw ingredients that Burt’s Bees formulate into their products are Clary Sage, Chamomile, Aloe, Pomegranate, Willow Bark and Beeswax!  All their lip balm and lip shine are rather addictive and you will likely use it even when you don’t need to just for the flavor and shine!  From the original balm to the hint of color balms there is a whole lot of conditioning involved!  The base of the balms are light and smooth.  The shea butter, beeswax and vitamin E in the lip balms soak into the lips, leaving nothing but softness and color sweetness behind.  My favorite gift kits are Endless Shine Trio, Kissable Color, and Essential Burt’s Bees Kit.  Endless Shine Trio is three 100% natural mini tubes with flirty shades of endless shine containing apricot wax and sunflower seed oil for super shine and amazing softness.  Perfect for mistletoe kissing!  Pink shades of Blush, Flutter and Wink for a sweet, glassy holiday shine!

Your Lips will look Fabulous this Holiday with butterLONDON

IMG_0290

Do you ever find yourself buying lipstick that dries out your lips with dull color? If so, you should definitely give butter LONDON Moisture matte lip products a shot! Butter London Moisture Matte lipsticks are packed with great color and specialized pigments that keep the color long lasting. The one that I have is called Primrose Hill Picnic. The color was amazing, kept my lips hydrated, and brought nothing but positive attention to my lips. Many lipsticks are loaded with chemicals that can make your lips peel and dry out. butterLONDON uses ingredients like Vitamin E, minerals, and gel-capsule technology to keep your lips smooth, lock in moisture, and keep the application nice and even. With this being said, I definitely recommend butterLONDON lip products!
Look fabulous this holiday season visit butterlondon.com and view their amazing shades of Lipsticks.

Lace It Up With Lace Your Face

I have always loved a great facial but lately I have not had time to get to the spa to enjoy one. But thanks to Lace Your Face by Dermovia I can now enjoy an at home facial in just 15 minutes. Lace Your Face is exactly what it says it is. It is a piece of lace that has been shaped to fit your face along with ears and a chin strap to help not only contour but also to help keep the mask in place. Like they say “Its like shape wear for your face”. (check out my YouTube video below on how to use the product)

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face

The Lace Your Face I got to try was their newest one called Calming Chamomile. With my sensitive skin, chamomile is one of my favorites because not only is it gentle but extremely relaxing. Especially after being on the road for 3 days you just need that little relaxing moment where you can say “ahhhhh”. Another great advantage to Lace Your Face is you do not need to wash it off or even put on your nightly moisturizer. Once the lace has been removed, gently rub the remaining product into your skin and let it do the rest.

My chamomile face mask’s main ingredients are:
chamomile extract- soothes
Tahitian seawater extract- balances
apple stem cell- repairs
squalene- anti-stress
dew grass extract- anti-irritant

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face

Lace Your Face comes in 8 different kinds. One for pretty much each skin type. So if your ready to experience Lace Your Face for yourself check out www.dermovia.com and start lacing it up! Also see my YouTube video below for more info on how to use your Lace Your Face facial mask.

The Green Automatic eyeliner is a beautiful shimmering emerald green color that can compliment any eye color and make it pop. Plus, it is really smooth which allows for easy application.

Head Back to School with Collegiate Brows

unnamed-7

August, 2014 (New York, NY) – Heading off to university and not able to maintain the regular monthly brow shaping appointments? Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, says “Get a professional wax before you leave and then take matters into your own hands with these tweezing tips….just remember, the biggest mistake people make is tweezing too much, so avoid over plucking, it can take months for brows to grow back,”

BEFORE diving in, do the homework: The space between brows should be equal to, or a little wider than eyes. Take an eye shadow brush and hold it parallel to the side of the nose, where the brush meets the brow is where the brow should begin. Then, extend the brush diagonally from the nostril, following the outside edge of the eye toward the brow – where the inside edge of the brush hits is where the brow should end. The best brows have a slight arch, hold the brush parallel to the outside edge of the colored part of the eye, where the brush meets the brow is where the highest part of the brow should be.

Give it the old college try…

1. Always have a plan (see above) and pair of clean sharp tweezers. Having a mirror in your room might be better than heading to the dorm bathroom, let ‘em think you were born with your FAB brows.

2. Use Boom Boom’s Push Up brow highlighting pencil (or a white eyeliner) to draw how you want brows to look – follow the shape your professional created before you left. Remember the 3 basics, 1) do not make them too far apart in the center – brows should start at the inside corner of the eye, 2) identify where the arch is and make sure to not over tweeze on the brow bone, it should be a straight line, 3) brows should not be too short length-wise, take it easy on the tweezing, better safe than sorry.

3. Tweeze anything below and above the line – remove the liner and you should have a clean brow that is not over-tweezed. If not, fill in with a Boom Boom Brow Boostier brow powder

* All Boom Boom products needed for perfect brows are available on amazon.com

Malynda Vigliotti (aka Boom Boom) is the flashiest waxer in NYC. She’s obsessed with brows – 100,000+ served at Boom Boom Brow Bar in NYC – and sees no reason why everyone shouldn’t have thick, gorgeous eyebrows. She makes waxing fun and affordable for everyone, just walk-in to 35 Seventh Avenue. Check out what’s cooking on https://www.facebook.com/boomboombrowbar and boomboombrowbar.com
