Top 5 Valentine’s Day Beauty Tips

unnamed-3

Whether it’s a hot date planned with your beau or a girls’ night out, this Valentine’s Day make sure to make a statement with these top five beauty tips. Celebrity makeup artist; who has worked with Meghan Trainor, Brooklyn Decker, Angie Harmon, among others and top fashion brands Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley, Perry Ellis, to name a few; provides these tips to create the perfect Valentine’s Day beauty look.

1. Kiss and makeup…

Ditch the traditional “red” lip and go for a more kissable look like a delicious nude color. Try: Philosophy’s lip shine in Coconut Frosting it gives a hint of shimmer with a mild sweet taste.

2. Run your fingers through my hair or maybe not…

Loose the hair spray for the night. Nothing is more un-sexy than hard mane. Touchable, soft hair is always a “do”. Try: Garnier’s Texture Spray for body and bounce without the crunch.

3. Give it a glow…

For a quick J-Lo glow add a few drops of liquid luminizer to your moisturizer. Try: Stila’s All Over Shimmer liquid

4. Got a private beach…

Nothing says red-hot like bronzed skin. Use along the perimeter of your face & jaw bone for a more realistic application. Also pick a brand that doesn’t have too much shimmer. Try: Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer

5. It started with a wink…

Seduction begins with a good mascara! Give your eyes a bambi-like fringe using lash fibers. It coats & builds on the ends of your natural lashes, giving the appearance of falsies. Try: Loreal’s False Fiber Lash Mascara

Color Me Recreates the Flawless Face Look from the Golden Globes

unnamed-1

At last week’s Golden Globe Awards old favorites and exciting new comers collected awards and accolades at the legendary Beverly Hilton. For many, the Red Carpet fashion still held center stage with looks as varied as the celebrities that wore them. However throughout it all one key beauty look reined supreme, the flawless face, chiseled cheekbones and dewy youthful quality sported by everyone from Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston to Kate Hudson and Joanne Froggatt. “If your foundation isn’t perfect,” says Global Makeup Artist and founder of Color Me, Eric Jimenez, “your whole look is off. The good news is that getting that perfect skin is easier than you think.”

Here, Eric shares his tips:

• Start by using your sonic makeup applicator, Color Me, to apply your favorite (color matched) liquid foundation or BB cream. The device, which pulsates at a rate of 15,000 pulses per minute, helps to smoothly and evenly apply your foundations and creams ensuring you have an airbrushed and flawless look. Remember to season your sponge if it is brand new, before applying the foundation to your skin.
• Next set the look with a pressed or loose powder. Turn on the device and swirl over the powder to pick up the pigment all while shaking loose any excess. Apply over your face for an even and velvety finish.
• Now for the contouring! Suck in your cheekbones to find the natural hollow in your face. Using a bronzer or a powder one – two shades darker than your natural skintone blend the color in the hollow towards the hairline using your Color Me.
• Add another dot at the hollow of each temple and blend. You can also blend down your jawline to give the impression of a more defined jaw and neckline. Your color me will soften the edges and make the contoured hollows more natural.
• Highlight the cheekbones to make them stand out even more with a cream highlighter or luminizer dotted just along the cheek bone, under the brow bone, at the cupid’s bow, and along the bridge of your nose to catch the light and make your features look even more defined.
• Finish the look with ultra-curled and long lashes and a natural or bold red lip for a glamorous show-stopping style.

Red carpet to reality in no time.

Stop your cold sore in its tracks with Carmex

carmex-package-shot

We all know to well about that sensation. The itchy tingly feeling, the slight soreness and all we can do is wait until the dreaded Cold Sore shows itself. I usually suffer from at least one cold sore a year and when I get one, I am miserable. I don’t even want to touch my face. I can forget about make-up and my beloved lipstick.

After reading the history of Carmex at their website carmexcoldsore.com  (see below)** I decided I would try the product. This year I will be prepared and will have Carmex Cold Sore Treatment in my handbag waiting for that dreaded day.

history-intro

**Alfred Woelbing, like many people, suffered from cold sores. Unlike many people, he had an entrepreneurial spirit and a knack for kitchen chemistry.

Alfred decided to solve his painful condition for himself, and concocted a remedy for his cold sores. In 1937, he began making Carmex by hand, pouring the lip balm into the familiar yellow-capped jars in his kitchen.

His sales method: visiting pharmacies one by one. If they weren’t interested, he gave them a dozen jars for free—along with a postcard to reorder. In no time, the pharmacies sold the free samples and the reorder forms starting coming in.

Alfred produced Carmex from home for many years, moving into a full production facility in the 1950s, and then to their current manufacturing site in 1975. About 100 people (including Alfred’s grandsons Eric and Paul Woelbing) continue to produce our original formula in its trademark little jars, and have expanded the line to include ultra hydrating Carmex Moisture Plus® as well as soothing skin care products.

Carmex Cold Sore Treatment is a tiny tube that discretely fits into the smallest of spaces.  “Carmex® Cold Sore Treatment works on contact to block pain and itch while minimizing the appearance of your cold sore. ”  Carmex Cold Sore Treatment contains Benzocaine which blocks pain and itching. Carmex TriPLEX formula will smooth and fill the cold sore helping to minimize its appearance.

Hopefully I will get lucky this year and the cold sore will pass me by but just in case, I have my Carmex.

Amal Clooney at the Golden Globe Awards

unnamed-4
For her first major red carpet moment post-wedding, beauty Amal Clooney stunned tonight at the Golden Globes in her classic Dior gown that was paired with a timeless and chic beauty look by makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

When asked how this look came to be, Tilbury beams, “Amal knows and loves my products – she wears my Matte Revolution Lipsticks in Walk of Shame, Bond Girl and Amazing Grace. I went into today knowing what she likes, so I created a retro beauty look inspired by the silver screen sirens that fits her classic style.”

Here are a few key steps that makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury used to create the look:

1. Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask was used to create a veil of perfection on the skin. Charlotte then applied Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream to the entire face followed by Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow to create a flawless soft focus and an instant “spotlight” effect, which acted as the perfect base to the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder foundation in 7 Medium.

2. Charlotte applied Charlotte Tilbury The Retoucher concealer in 2 Fair and 3 Medium underneath the eye. Rid the face of any unwanted oils with a dusting of Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Skin Perfecting Micro-Powder in 2 Medium down the middle of the face only to keep Amal’s skin dewy and fresh.

3. Next, Charlotte used Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift in Cara D to perfect brows and shape the face.

4. To bring out the golden highlights in Amal’s eyes, Charlotte applied the pop shade from Luxury Palette in The Dolce Vita across the lids. Charlotte Tilbury Rock ‘N’ Kohl Eye Pencil in Barbarella Brown was applied around the eye. To soften the liner, Charlotte Tilbury The Classic in Sophia was applied over the top. Charlotte applied three coats of Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes to the top lashes and only one coat to bottom lashes to create an open-eyed look.

5. To add an unbeatable red carpet-worthy glow, use Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow to highlight and sculpt the cheek, nose, jawline and temples.

6. To create the perfect cheek, Charlotte used both Cheek to Chic in Love Glow and First Love across the cheekbones.

7. Finish with the perfect velvety, red lip by using Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Savage Rose along with a mixture of Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Night Crimson and Matte Revolution Lipstick in Red Carpet Red.

8. Charlotte applied Charlotte Tilbury Multi-Miracle Glow for moisture and a dewy finish followed by Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body to sculpt and illuminate the limbs.

Cross Pens are gifts of luxury that last a lifetime

Unknown

I remember when I received my first Cross pen. The pen was presented to me for my 8th grade graduation. It was a gold pen with my name engraved on and I was so excited to have such a beautiful pen. Forty years later, I still have that pen, I have always treasured it. Cross pens have a way of doing that, they are truly a gift that lasts a lifetime. Cross pens have an elegance about them whether they are presented to men, women or young adults. Cross Pens definitely make a statement. I always turn to Cross for birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, graduations and they make perfect Holiday gifts. My beautiful pen is a Cross Botanica (shown above). It is gorgeous as the intricate details in the pen make it more beautiful than it looks in a photo.

Cross offers so much more than just pens. Their pen and pencil gift sets are extraordinary and each design is unique. Cross also has a wide range of accessories which are perfect for gift giving.

nKpfemnjTw20TkkMbqyuWfs0ZjI273XQJdkxxhLBPP0

Cross is a 168 years old company and they are is celebrating their Peerless Pen’s 125th anniversary by bringing back the art of writing. You can win your own Cross Pen by entering the contest below:

The Search for The Peerless 125: “For 168 years, Cross has been creating luxurious writing instruments to ink what matters. For the 125th anniversary of the Peerless pen, Cross is celebrating those who are Peerless, and those who are making a positive mark on history, by launching a contest on cross.com. One nominated Peerless individual is being awarded with a special edition Peerless Gold Pen with a Ruby garnet that is worth $3,900 (only 125 are being made), and 125 second place winners are being awarded with the traditional Peerless line. Yes, Cross is awarding 125 luxury writing tools!”

I love the idea that Cross wants to revive the lost art of hand written notes. I remember way back when when my husband (then boyfriend) and I handwrote notes and cards to each other, they are keepsakes I will always treasure. I still write my own cards and notes and Cross hopes you too, will continue to do so. I love my new Cross pen and I truly enjoy writing with it. I will treasure it for another forty years!!!!
