butterLONDON’S Amazing Shades of Lipsticks

image001

Who told you that you have to put all your bright lipstick colors away for the winter? I know I always assumed it was “out with the summer colors” and “in with the fall colors”.  My summer colors are staying put, especially my butterLONDON ABBEY ROSE lipstick. While visiting New York City department stores this weekend, I was scanning the amazing make-up counters and immediately noticed that the bright Lipsticks are everywhere. I also noticed quite a few people wearing bright pinks, corals and red shades on their lips and they were looking fabulous.

I love my butterLONDON LIPPY Moisture Matte Lipstick and plan on wearing it all winter. butterLONDON‘s new LIPPY Moisture Matte Lipsticks has beautiful and vibrant colors. With shades like ABBEY ROSE, rose-pink cream, BLOWING RASPBERRIES, raspberry-red cream, COME TO BED RED, classic red cream, DAHLING, dusty-pink cream, LADYBIRD, tomato-red cream, and LOVED UP, berry-red cream, you will achieve the Moisture Matte look you want all day long. Enjoy the light scent of vanilla infused in each lipstick, I know I am.

butterLONDON lipsticks can be found at ulta.com  and butterlondon.com

Achieve Flawless Skin with Miracle Skin Transformer

MST_3XN01__48759.1407674061.1280.1280

I can’t say enough about Sarah McNamara’s Miracle SKIN Transformer Triple Active Night Treatment. I absolutely love it. It’s a great cream that works its magic during the night. When I wake up, my skin is not dry but rather soft to the touch and feels amazing. The wonderful feature about this night cream is that it acts as a 3 in 1. It’s an exfoliater, moisturizer all while containing powerful anti-aging benefits. One cream that does it all, I love it even more!

Miracle SKIN Transformer Triple Active Night Treatment contains advanced M3 Complex, formulated with high levels of active ingredients to help resurface skin’s texture, minimize discoloration, and repair the appearance of photo damage, revealing radiant and healthy looking skin as well as helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a Night Cream that improves skin’s elasticity, and helps firm and tone overnight. One of the essential ingredients is derived from sun flowers helping to improve your skin’s hydration by up to 65% within the first three hours. With the cold winter months fast approaching, the heat dries out my skin so this is the perfect cream to resolve those issues .

Miracle SKIN Transformer Triple Active Night Treatment is suitable for all skin types. Simply apply the Night Treatment to your face, neck, and chest using a gentle circular motion. For best results, use every night. I have been using Miracle SKIN Transformer Triple Active Night Treatment and love how my skin looks and feels.

Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 FACE is also amazing. If you use foundations to cover up skin imperfections and red blotches you will be surprised at how well this product works, I am having amazing results. Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 FACE  is a 5-in-1 tinted skin enhancer designed to Hydrate, Prime, Enhance, Mattify & Protect your skin. I put a little more than apea size amount on my fingertips, rub together gently and apply to my face. The formula feels like velvet and dries instantly. It’s not heavy or thick and spreads evenly. Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20 FACE immediately covers the red blotches and skin imperfections resulting in a smooth even toned finish while  giving you the sun protection you need. Did I mention you can hardly see pores and fine lines, it’s fantastic. I truly reccommend this to anyone you needs their foundation every day. See for yourself and get yours here at  miracleskintransformer.com

Keep Your Golden Glow With Austrailian Gold

unnamed-5

The question is Should I wear Panty Hose or Not? According to my daughters, they say “NOT”. They also told me my legs look white and if I’m not going to wear panty hose then they need a little color.  What better way to achieve an instant tan than with Australian Gold Instant Bronze Self Tanning Lotion. I’m familiar with Australian Gold’s sun Care products, the brand is one of my favorites and Australian Gold Instant Bronzing Self Tanning Lotion (yes, I already had one on my shelf) worked like a charm.

I applied the self tanning lotion to my legs being careful to completely cover the areas I wanted color. You should see the color within 2 to 4 hours so make you allow yourself enough time for the golden glow to show! Definitely apply ahead of time, you will be happy you did. The results were amazing, my legs were lightly bronzed. Bronze enough that I got a thumbs up from the girls and was able to ditch  the Panty hose.

I loved the fragrance, almost like a buttery smell and the formula dried quickly. Australian Gold Instant Bronze Self Tanning Lotion contains Chamomile and Vitamin E for soft and smooth skin. You can use Australian Gold Instant Bronze Self Tanning Lotion to maintain the color you want anytime you want, anywhere you want, you don’t have to limit yourself to your legs. Once you achieve the color you want, simply apply a light coat 2 to 3 times a week.  It’s safe, it’s fun, it’s Australian Gold.

Cocktails & Color to Fight Breast Cancer from Beauty Bar & Nailtini®

POST ON OCTOBER 1

_LC_OCT14_productImages-02

In what can best be described as a pairing that begs the question “what took them so long?”, Beauty Bar and Nailtini, renowned purveyors of cocktails and beauty, are coming together in the fight against breast cancer in the best way they know how – through martinis and manicures for the cause.

When Beauty Bar founder Paul Devitt lost his ex-wife to breast cancer caused by the BRCA gene mutation – which could also affect his young daughters – he resolved to leverage the notoriety of his trend-setting business to make a difference. Nailtini founder Michelle Toma Olson was only too eager to get involved, pledging to stock participating Beauty Bar locations with her brand’s incomparable lacquers for services and retail sale, proceeds from which will benefit the Basser Research Center for BRCA at the Universtity of Pennsylvania.

This passionate part of Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center provides education and support for individuals and families with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, with its mission being to deliver cutting edge research in basic and clinical sciences to advance the care of individuals who carry them.

Devitt and Olson took the collaboration a step further by curating a Beauty Bar collection for “The Lacquer Cabinet” – Nailtini’s exclusive lacquer delivery service featuring limited-edition on-trend collections made for polish mixology. Launching just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this trio of not-your-grandmother’s-pinks features Nailtini’s vegan, 5-free and low-toxin formula, peerless performance, and a $2 per box donation to the Basser Center:
Pink Pussycat – sheer smoke brimming with hot pink glitter
Pink Fix – hot petal pink meets sultry glamour
Pink Pillow – champagne-kissed pink with satiny shimmer

With each in Nailtini’s all-premium formula, you can wear them straight, layered or hand-mixed with other shades in the empty mini bottles that come in each Lacquer Cabinet delivery box to create a myriad of custom nail looks – whatever you feel like stirring up. The shades are also exclusively available for services, along with more from the Nailtini range, at all Beauty Bar locations.

The Nailtini for Beauty Bar Lacquer Cabinet Collection is available at tinibeauty.com and will ship to subscribers in October 2014. Purchase a single collection for $25, a 6-month subscription for $23/month or a 12-month subscription for $20/month. A true happy hour for hands, each collection offers more than $44 in retail value plus free shipping.
