BEAUTYBLENDER



If you want camera ready, flawless, professional makeup application you need to have the beautyblender in your tool box. An innovative makeup sponge applicator gives both the consumer and makeup artist flawless complexion with a professional finish. This easy to use tool has a suede-like texture for effortless blending capabilities. By using the wide end, you can blot and blend makeup or use the smaller end to get precision around the eye and nose.




This eco-friendly non-disposable sponge is sold alone or in a set with a specially designed cleanser. The blendercleanser is designed to not only clean your beautyblender and rid it of bacteria and product, but it houses your beautyblender on a pedestal while it dries. All you have to do is wet your beautyblender with some water, apply the blendercleanser to soiled areas, work into a lather - rinse, repeat if necessary, squeeze any excess water out and then let it dry. Conveniently this non-latex hypoallergenic sponge can be put in the beautyblender pouch and tossed right into the dryer on the air-dry setting. (The beautyblender is not meant to come into direct contact with extreme heat sources).

Lead in Lipsticks

You need to check out this article. It is the most recent article I can find from the FDA regarding Lead in Lipsticks. It's definitely worth reading and I would love to know your thoughts.

QVC: Mally Cosmetics

Whoa!
Watching QVC and they are promoting Mally cosmetics - I'm confused why people want an eyeshadow stick that will last on the eyes for 5 days? Clients are calling in saying waterproof eye makeup remover doesn't take it off. Mally is promoting it as "bullet-proof". Hmmmm, not sure that's what I would want, bullet proof makeup? Is that supposed to make it better?
So this stick eyeshadow has to be a no-go for two simple reasons:
A) gotta be super drying and therefore going to accentuate lining on the eyes
B) who in their right mind wants to scrub at their eye lids?

Ugh and all she is saying is bullet proof, all her products are bullet proof - this is so irritating to watch.

Ok so now she is also saying 'brow pencil and powder look unnatural' - yet...wait here it comes....her system comes with a brow pencil, and powder (she may be drunk). Oh and her models brows are all uneven and lopsided - but they are bullet proof so incase she is faced with rapid gunfire, her brows are safe.

My big take away message is this: Super Tan Day Glo Skin with over glossed lips are NOT in for Spring/Summer '10 and just say "NO" to bullet proof.

T3 Featherweight Luxe

I am so excited...T3 Luxe has come to Sephora. Best hair dryer EVER!!! This amazing dryer cuts dry time by 70%, de-frizzes, protects your hair and gives ultimate styling performance.



Personal Testimony: After years of having to replace my hair dryer every 6-8 months because I would blow a fuse or it would set on fire -... costing me $35-$50 each time I had to replace it...I spent some money and invested in a T3 Featherweight. I have had it now for 5 years, I absolutely love it and my hair loves it even more. My hair breakage is minimal to none and my hair is always shiny with no split ends. People always love my hair and I honestly attribute a lot of it to the T3 and the T3 tools.


Well worth the investment. It clearly paid for itself!!!
