Want to add a little “Sensuality ” to your “everyday self”? Read Dimitri James book, NAUGHTY MAKEOVERS for NICE GIRLS!

Did you ever feel stuck in your current “look”? When you buy makeup or clothes do you always get the same thing, only in a different brand? Do you ever see or know someone who always looks terrific, gets all those second glances, and you wonder why you blend into the crowd?

Lip Bliss Lip Gloss Sends The Right Message

 

I found this unique and touching story on http://whatsyourvirtue.com/lipbliss/our-story/ and it reads as follows:

“In the beginning, there was a mother with a teen and preteen daughter. While on a shopping trip three years ago, she was made keenly aware of what beauty products were available to purchase. She was shocked at the explicit and suggestive names found on numerous brands of lip gloss. She didn’t feel it was appropriate for her 13 year old daughter to put such messaging in her pocket, let alone on her lips. The mother went home with no lip gloss, but with a strong desire to make a difference. After collaborating with her friends, an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for her girls but for women everywhere”.

What’s Your Virtue, is a company founded by three friends who believe beauty starts from within. We want to remind all women of the simple and virtuous things in life. What better place to start than on your lips?

What’s Your Virtue has created a very special line of lip glosses for young girls and is widely popular with women of all ages.and young ladies and is called Lip Bliss.  Lip Bliss lip glosses are available in 6 vibrant colors and named after such virtues as Generosity, Wisdom, Kindmess, Devotion, Curisioty and Simplicity. I must admit, I have been using “Devotion” lip gloss and I am loving it.  It is very soft and silky on your lips and I like the faint flavor of pepermint.

Lip Bliss™ Lip Glosses contain castor, cranberry, safflower seed and peppermint oils to smooth and nurture your lips.  They also contain antioxidants, green tea and vitamin E for moisturizing.  Lip Bliss Lip Glosses are paraben free, gluten free and is not tested on animals.

Send a wonderful message and send it with Lip Bliss Lip Gloss http://whatsyourvirtue.com

Layla Nail Polish Is Truly Magnetic

Magnetic nail polish is the new thing! As soon as I put Layla Magnetic Nail Polish on I got so many compliments. Everyone asked how I did my nails! It’s so much fun and unique. It is so easy to apply and has a great result. The top of the cap has a magnet on it. Be sure to use the magnet as directed before your polish dries. The way you hold the magnet above your nail determines the pattern that you’ll get. Personally, I think this nail polish is a great buy because it only takes a few minutes but looks like it took hours to perfect. Check it out at www.ulta.com.

The Most Precious Serum is From L’Occitane Immortelle

 

Immortelle is a flower found on the Corsican lands. The beauty of Immortelle is that it has amazing longevity and doesn’t fade even after being picked and dried. As stated on L’Occitane’s website, “L’OCCITANE has extracted a precious essential oil from the Immortelle, which has anti-free radical and anti-wrinkle properties. The Immortelle collection offers a complete anti-aging solution for the face”.

Would you believe that the active ingredients in one jar of L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum is from more than 1000 Immortelle flowers. Once you start using this precious serum, you will be on the path to softer, beautiful and more youthful looking skin. L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum works to smooth out wrinkles and restore firmness to your skin. The active ingredients also help to produce, protect and repair collagen.

“Collagen exists naturally in your skin as a structural support. As you lose collagen throughout the aging process, your skin gets thinner, and wrinkles begin to set in [source: New Zealand Dermatological Society]. Furthermore, when collagen breaks down, your skin becomes weaker, and this can lead to sagging”. (see note below)

L’Occitane’ Immortelle Precious Serum is a light clear serum with a delightful scent. Only a small amount is needed to cover your entire face and neck. It is important to use this serum consistently and according to L’Occitane studies, wrinkles, even deep ones, were visibly reduced for 74% of women in only 4 weeks. Treat your skin with the most precious serum, L’Occitane Immortelle.  

L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Serum  can be found at http://usa.loccitane.com

The Makeup Show in Orlando, Florida at The Peabody Hotel

In my opinion I would have to say that the Beauty Industry is the best industry to work in.  With so many different techniques, products to try, people to meet and places you can go, it’s no wonder us beauty fanatics are always so outgoing.  When I was at The Makeup Show in Orlando, Florida I got to meet celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler, known for her work with singer/actress Jennifer Hudson, and made many new contacts and friends. Rather than me tell you all about my experience, why don’t I show you…..

They Don’t Have to Know It’s Fake

Every time I am on the beach I do the weirdest thing. I put my sunscreen on all over my body then I take my t-shirt and put it on over my bathing suit to protect my shoulders and back from the sun.  Like many fair skinned people, I have a fear of getting badly sunburned.  When I was younger I wished I could be like the other girls and get a suntan.

After about my 7th time getting sunburned, I decided to give up all together with even trying to get sun tanned by the sun.  When I went to beauty school and learned about how the sun can do some serious damage to your skin, I decided to try the “tan from a can” technique.  I tried all kinds of lotions and bronzers to just add a little something, but everything just seemed to make me look orange. I kept thinking to myself “you are not a pumpkin.”  After my last failed attempt I did exactly what I did with the sun, I gave up.

When I had to give on trying to get a tan all together, I was so devastated because I wanted to have a little color added to my pale white skin.  I swear I’m so white I’m translucent.

When I first received Fake Bake 60 Minute Self Tanner, I was very afraid to try it because of my past.   When I finally got the guts to try Fake Bake, I immediately fell in love.  For once  I WAS NOT ORANGE!!!!!!! My skin just glowed with that healthy sun kissed glow without the harmful rays.

When people complimented me on how great my skin looked I couldn’t have been happier.

So next time you want to get a beautiful glow, rethink the rays and go for Fake Bake 60 Minute Self Tanner, and see what it will do for you.

Teleflora….A Delivery You Won’t Want To Miss

Imagine your delight when the doorbell rings and there, right in front of you is a Teleflora delivery, and it is one the most beautiful floral arrangements you have ever seen. That was my feeling, total delight, when I received my Teleflora fresh floral arrangement.  Now, imagine the excitement and delight the recipient of your Teleflora gift will experience.  I think most everyone will agree that when it comes to spending money on ourselves we tend to be a little bit practical, but when we buy gifts for others, we want to do something special. What could be more special then sending flowers? After all, sending flowers is the perfect way to let someone know you are thinking of them no matter what the occasion is.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, consider sending this gorgeous Teleflora Autumn Beauty Bouquet and think of how happy the recepient will be. The vase in itself is a total eye-catcher. It’s not the regular glass vase you would expect but a two tone twisted glass vase, a truly elaborate centerpiece. Not only is Thanksgiving the perfect time to send a Teleflora fresh floral arrangement but there are so many occasions and “Just Because” reasons to send flowers.

Start your gift giving at  http://www.teleflora.com, where you can select from a vast selection of fresh floral arrangements, and there are so many to choose from!

When we think of flowers, many of us also think “expensive”, well, don’t let cost scare you.  Teleflora prices start at $29.99 so there is something for every budget when it comes to ordering a “special delivery” for that special someone or special occasion.

“Wait!!  Maybe a fresh floral allergy might be a problem, how about a beautiful plant or a basket of plants. Teleflora offers splendid plants and gifts if flowers are not an option. Surprise someone special with a basket of “Violets and Butterflies” (as shown below).  This is a perfect gift that will last indefinitely.

Teleflora even has a Deal of the Day, and as stated by Teleflora, “Our expert florist will create a one-of-a-kind bouquet with the freshest and most beautiful flowers available”. Visit http://www.teleflora.com and see what their deal of the day is today!”  Teleflora guarantees satisfaction with every gift order. Order your holiday arrangement today, surprise someone special, you won’t be disappointed and they won’t be either, that’s a promise.

Refresh Yourself With Lumene Cleansing Wipes

To keep my skin clean all throughout the day, I have been using Lumene Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes. What’s great about these wipes is that they are stored in a stay fresh package  which fits conveniently in my book bag and ballet bag so they are always on hand when I need them. I usually use them when I am working out or at the ballet studio because they help with keeping my face free of dirt which can cause acne.  I don’t want the dirt to enter my pores when I sweat so Lumene cleansing wipes come in handy and it does the job.

Lumene Cleansing Wipes are also fantastic for taking my make-up off my face and neck, and they leave your skin feeling clean after using them. Lumene Cleansing wipes are alcohol free so thay don’t sting your face or cause any irritation. They also don’t contain any parabens or fragrances. When you can’t wash your face with water, Lumene Sensitive Touch Cleansing Wipes are an excellent substitute.

You can find Lumene Cleansing Wipes at www.lumene.com and they carry them in some drug stores like CVS.

Your curls will spiral out of control, with John Freida’s Spiral Conical Iron.  This particular John Frieda hair tool was on my daughter Adrienne’s wish list last Christmas and after checking it out and getting the facts on this eye catching, intriguing spiral iron, I bought it for her and she is still using it 1 year later.

John Frieda Spiral Curl JFC11 Conical Curling Iron features a Titanium Ceramic Barrel and an ionic generator to minimize static for smooth results. LCD temperature control allows precise operation, heats in only 30 seconds and has 4 heat  settings ranging from 220* and as high as 400*

*low for delicate thin and easy to curl hair

*Medium for average to thick hair or treated hair

*Med-High for thick or wavy hair

*High/Max for Hard to Curl Hair

One year later, Adrienne still loves this spiral iron and uses it often. She likes the fact that no clamps are needed and the spiral guide on the iron allows her to easily wrap her hair around it. For tighter bouncier curls she will roll less hair and for looser curls she will roll more hair. The options arer endless and she is having fun creating her hair styles.
