need great looking skin? who doesn’t!! Nars- LAGUNA will give it to you!!

nars1I use a bronzer year round and have been stuck on this older one mentioned earlier in this blog… but had a visit this past weekend from a friend, who is a make up artist! She introduced me to Nars LAGUNA! This product is great because it looks perfect on you no matter what skin tone you are… I happen to be very light skinned and my friend who uses it happens to be very tanned and olive skinned.  It made our mutual faces glowy and even.

I am attempting to get my make up artist friend to create posts here so that we can all benefit from her advice!  Perhaps after she comes back from South Beach next week!  In the meantime, update your make up collection with Nars Laguna, you won’t be disappointed!  Take a kabuki brush and put it everywhere on your face, not only on your cheeks! Really blend it with the brush.. your face will look airbrushed!

hard to imagine but this lipcolor looks awesome on everyone…

Lancome: Color Fever Lip Color-No. 204 Beige Everyday (pearls)

I never wear lipstick, I typically wear gloss and this lipstick is different.  The texture is very soft and slippery like a gloss but it holds like a lipstick.  This color is very neutral yet has the effect of a bit of color on your lips so you don’t look made up.  I like to have a finished lip but don’t like it to appear as if I spent time making myself up to leave the house. 

A new range of lipstick that gives vibrant, brilliant color Offers 4 finishes from shimmers to satin, metallic to cream Light Maximizer Technology reproduces reflecting prism effect Combines with 3 fluid, transparent oils that coat the pigments Allows color to stay fresh & shine with intensity for hours Leaves a soft, comfortable sensation that dazzle with beauty.

Retails for: $25 wherever Lancome products are sold.                             Trust me on this one!

the best tinted moisturizer… 30 spf.. flawless coverage

lancomeBienfait Multi-Vital Teinté by Lancome Paris is the best tinted moisturizer I have used.  I don’t wear foundation, so this is the next best thing for me.  I like some coverage for some redness and capillaries that inevitably occur with aging, and this has been a great product for me.  I love that it has a high SPF but doesn’t smell like sun tan lotion.  I wear it over moisturizer treating it like foundation, but the coverage is light, sheer, dewey, yet opaque.

Introducing Lancôme’s first SPF 30 Tinted Moisturizer with anti-oxidant protection plus natural, even coverage for a visibly flawless result. VITAMIN ENRICHED HYDRATION 24 hour nourishing moisture for ideal hydration without a greasy feel. COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION Broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 sunscreen plus anti-oxidant protection. NATURAL PERFECTION The lightweight tinted formula gives moderate, natural coverage for a healthy hint of color. Blends easily to even out skin tone. RESULT Comprehensive protection, vitamin enriched hydration, plus an even, flawless looking skin tone.  $44

Beautify your wink with Blinc!

Positively smudge-proof and guaranteed to survive even your worst cry!

Positively smudge-proof and guaranteed to survive anytime you shed a tear

Are you looking for that foolproof mascara that stays put no matter what?  Are you sick of taking off your  waterproof mascara with makeup remover?  Do you want to look like a million bucks when you wake up in the morning after a “sleepover” with a new guy?  Well girls, I’ve got the mascara for you.  Blinc mascara is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant “tubes” around your lashes.  Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.  It also adds volume and length and it comes off with warm water.  The tubes will slide off your lashes effortlessly and, upon removal, you will actually see the tiny tubes in your hand!  I swear!  So invest the best $25 you’ll ever spend on mascara and feel free to dance in the rain or cry at a sappy movie.  No one will ever know!
