INDULGE YOUR FACE

The Holidays are all about indulgence. Whether you're digging into your favorite family recipes or curling up in a new cashmere robe and shearling slippers.  Over this holiday season I came across my new favorite indulgence, and you don't need to hit the gym after this one!
Cle De Peau Refining Fluid Foundation is a luxurious treat for your face. After smoothing this across my skin I knew it was going to be love at first application. My skin was soft and radiant, not only does it cover nicely, but it has 24spf and even shrinks your pores. All in all it is pretty close to the perfect daily foundation.  But at the $118 price point, I had slight hesitation to welcome it into my everyday routine. Once I ran out of my sample I came to the realization that there would be no living without the glowing fresh face that it helped me create. I decided that this would be my gift to myself, my little holiday indulgence.
So go ahead Treat Yourself, your skin deserves it! Start the New Year with a fresh face that will have everyone saying "Wow what do you do for your skin? It's Perfect!"

( I am fair, and I use the color O10, but I also bought O30 so I can mix it in when I get a spray tan. I also wanted to be able to use it on special clients so I needed some color diversity.)

MAKEUP ARTIST'S CANDY

FINALLY A FIX FOR THE OVER PLUCKED BROW

BROWS TO DIE FOR
by Peter Thomas Roth

I have always wished there was a solution for my clients that have trouble growing in over plucked eyebrows. Now that wish has seemingly come true! This eyebrow conditioning treatment supposedly will make your sparse uneven brows appear noticeably thicker and fuller.

The .14 oz container does put a small dent in your wallet at $85 a pop. But I know for a fact that for those who have to fill in their brow's bald spots everyday, that is a small price to pay to fix this beauty burden!

Beauty from the Outside-In

As my awareness of toxicity levels in cosmetics has grown, I have made it a mission to find products that not only make you beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.

You may think, well it's just makeup, is it really getting into my system? The answer is yes. Lipsticks/ glosses don't just disappear into thin air in between touch ups, and same goes for foundations, powders, etc. It is absorbed into your skin which can lead to ingredients getting into the bloodstream.

When scanning the back of your products keep an eye out for any 'parabens' and talc. Both have been linked to various cancers. For instance, cosmetic grade talc has been scientifically linked to ovarian cancer for many years now.

So what can you do to start living cleaner and greener? Keep an eye out for the many natural products that are now on the market. They are all over the beauty industry now, and are looking better than ever. My first concern with going natural was whether they could create the same quality final product as the many other goodies in my makeup kit. I can honestly say that I have found a line that truly does stand up to the level of quality that I am used to. That line is Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics. http://janeiredale.com/

I am now carrying the full line in my studio in South Beach, and it makes me feel so good to be able to share this beauty secret with my clients. From the varieties of coverage in the foundations and concealers, to the gorgeous pigments of the eyeshadows and blushes, this line really brings it. All while cramming in 'good for you' ingredients such as pomegranite , green tea, and algae extracts.

Easy on the Eyes

KAT VON D.
making eyes easy...

To my surprise she really brought the goods with her makeup line, from quality of the products to the sexy packaging. I haven't gotten a chance to try everything in the line, but one thing that I bought and love are her "True Romance" eye shadow palettes. I got both 'Ludwig' (warm earthy tones) and 'Beethoven' (icy cool tones). The shadows have great pigment, go on smooth, and have nice staying power. Both palettes have 8 shades, giving you all that you need to create any look no matter what time of day or outfit you're rockin'.

Of course I have about a gazillion different shadows and love them all for different reasons. But these are now what I reach for when I'm about to hit the road. They really consolidate my travel kit, and for someone who is a chronic over-packer that is a Huge deal!
