Stepping back to the '80's!
Yes, it's true, I've stepped back into the '80's and lost about 14 lbs. so far! You might be asking yourself, "What is she talking about?" I am talking about the step workout dvd by Kathy Kahler. It's AMAZING and works! She spends the right amount of time warming up, stretching before and after the workout, does amazing cardio, and then some toning exercises and cool down to complete the workout.
It is a purchase you will not regret and it's fun to be back on the step! Not to mention the fact that the pounds will melt off!
Happy Stepping!

Summertime....
It's been awhile since my last post. I have been so busy this summer with makeup work for weddings, print work and television work. Along with my few days working at the spa, I have had little time to research new makeup/skincare products and do postings about them.
I covered for a makeup artist friend of mine and she turned me on to the BEST translucent powder out there! You better be sitting down, because this will shock you. La Femme Loose Translucent powder. It costs about $2 or $3 and it has the best texture and smell. It goes on the skin beautifully and makes it look flawless, without looking dry.
I also have been loving my sircuit skincare xtrap cleanser, using my clairsonic brush with it morning and night. (I have to be honest, I don't wash my face every night like I should.) Even washing my face 1x a day, my skin is so clear, so hydrated, my fine lines are less pronounced, I'm amazed.
Other than those little finds, that is all I can think of to post at the moment. I could go on about the world of Facebook and how addicted I am to searching for long lost friends and such, or how much I loved "the Dark Knight", and how much I love my hubby of 2 years and our "kids" (our dog and cat), but I'll save you from that.
Until the next time, be well and keep in touch with any beauty/skincare questions you might have.
Best,

Genie in a Bottle
Back in the day, I used to always make sure to put a primer on my eyelid before adding shadow. Sometime along the way I just fell out of the habit.
When I was out shopping for new products to add to my makeup kit, I stopped, as always, at Urban Decay and noticed a cute purple genie bottle labeled "Eyeshadow Primer Potion". I swiped a bit on the back of my hand, then took a bright turquoise shadow and put it over the primer. After testing a few other primers on the same hand, I noticed Urban Decay’s potion made the shadow more vibrant and not as dense.
Since then I’ve been using Eyeshadow Primer Potion on myself and my clients. Just apply a thin layer to lids before shadow application and it dries down almost instantly (and invisibly), creating a perfect canvas for lids that are ready for color.
I have a renewed love for creating the perfect creaseless eyes. They’ll never be without a primer again.

Sircuit Training
A friend of mine just told me about a line of all natural, chemical free skincare that she knew I’d love. She knows I’m on a constant search for natural products that deliver results and I think Sircuit Skin may be just what I’ve been waiting for.
Sircuit Skin is an advanced natural skincare line that uses a few key technologies: Chrial Technology, Spin Trap, Heavy Water/D20 and Epidermal Growth Factor, all which are explained in FULL detail on their website. In short, think of it as “fresh off the vine, compared to canned fruit."
After reading through the information and products on the website, I ordered their advanced trial set. After day number two, I noticed such a change in my skin and it felt fabulous I quickly went online and ordered the full-size set.
My skin was feeling extra dry and started breaking out, but after my first use of Sircuit Skin, my skin cleared up and it felt more hydrated than ever. And best of all, it truly is all natural.

Brush with Love....
For over three years I have been a vegetarian. In the last month I decided to become vegan, thanks to reading Skinny Bitch.
One of the main hurdles for me has been finding a comparable replacement for my makeup brushes. Being a makeup artist and becoming a vegan I wanted to find a high-quality synthetic alternative. Peggy Hannaman-Jones, an Emmy-nominated hairstylist and makeup artist, spent years researching and sourcing alternative fibers, cutting brushes by hand, and negotiating with manufacturers. In 2005, after testing more than 300 prototypes, Branded J Collections was born.
The collection consists of sixteen ultra-soft brushes that are made from custom-cut synthetic Taklon fibers and complemented by sleek, cayenne-colored acrylic handles. The Anti-Bacterial benefits are also a huge plus.
Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, you will love the feel and application of these Branded J Collctions brushes.
