Beautiful Asian Skin Makeup Tips for GloMinerals
By Christine | June 30, 2008
Follow these easy tips to get beautiful results in the GloMinerals mineral makeup line. Asian skin tends to have a natural soft yellow tone to it. For a natural look, be sure to choose a foundation that has a yellow undertone to it like golden or honey.
Eyes
- Be sure to consider the shape of the eye when doing makeup. Dark colors will make the eyes look smaller.
- Always start with the dark color towards the lash line and work your way up finishing with the lightest shade near your brow bone.
- The lashes tend to be short and straight. Apply eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible to increase the look of the lashes. Apply the liner all the way around the eye and then smudge.
- Add three coats of gloVolumizing mascara black to the lashes. Don’t forget to curl the lashes. Be sure to fill in the brow to frame the face.

Jane Iredale Fall Collection
By Jessica | September 28, 2007
You really are going to “Fall in Love” with Jane Iredale’s new fall products, I did. I love their new colors and unique design. My favorite is the new Sugar & Butter Lip Duo which is a great tasting combination of a raw brown sugar exfoliator on one end and a shea butter lip plumper on the other. The raw brown sugar gently exfoliates the lips leaving them soft and smooth and then you can treat your taste buds to the sweet sugar crystals. The lip plumper uses ginger and mint to instantly stimulate and plump lips and smells of cinnamon. The lip plumper can be worn alone for a subtle natural look or under or over any lip color. So not only are your lips going to be smooth and plump, but also great tasting!
They have also introduced a new stick cream blush called In Touch Cream Blush in three fabulous shades – Charisma, Connection, & Chemistry. These rich shades give a sexy glow and smell of chocolate. Just smudge onto cheek bones and blend for a natural look that stays all day and they are so compact you can easily just throw them in your bag for a quick touch up (or sniff) anytime, anywhere.
Another must have of Jane Iredale’s is their new Sunbeam bronzer. It is a quad of beautiful silvery pinks and copper-browns that can be worn individually on eyes, cheeks and even lips or sweep your brush over all four shades and give your skin a healthy glow. I love this idea because you can do an entire look with just one product. (Tip: This product can really be used anywhere, i.e. décolleté, shoulders, legs, even in your hair!)
Liquid eye liner is hot this season so Jane Iredale has created her own easy to apply liquid liner in this seasons metallic shades – Gold and Copper, as well as the basic Black and Black/Brown. Now, I have never used liquid eye liner before so this was a first for me. But a great tip I learned from Jane Iredale is to first draw on your eye liner with an eye pencil that way you get a clean line and can erase mistakes. Then trace over the pencil with the liquid liner. I tried the new Copper shade and it looked fantastic, it really made my eyes pop. I was so impressed. And once this liner is dry it really stays, but it’s not waterproof. This liner would be a great addition to any cosmetic collection and will dress up your look for the Holidays!
I feel Jane hit the nail on the head with her fall collection because not only are the products appealing to the eye, but also to the senses. I would love to see more cosmetic lines be multi-purpose in this way, after all you’re wearing their product all day on your face, so why shouldn’t they smell and taste as good as they look. Try Jane Iredale’s new fall collection and look fabulous this fall!

Massive Lash
By Rhonda | July 23, 2007
Many women have reported great success with Revitalash and Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash when it comes to eyelash lengthening and eyelash thickening.
Both these products help women to get longer, fuller, thicker, darker and noticeably lusher looking lashes. However, for some women these products are cost-prohibitive.
Now there is an alternative to these eyelash products. It is called Massive Lash. At under a $100, many women can now afford super long, luscious, full eyelashes at almost half the cost of other competitors.
Massive Lash is an eyelash conditioner that helps eyelashes look longer and fuller. It is applied nightly along the upper lash line for 21 days. Some women also apply it to the lower lash line.
There may be some initial redness when using this product. But this usually subsides over the 21 days.
So if you are wanting fuller and thicker lashes that are longer then your current lashes, you may want to try Massive Lash.

Jan Marini C-ESTA Lips

It is not often that we get a new makeup product that seems revolutionary. But we recently started to carry Jan Marini C-ESTA Lips which uses Vitamin C technology to help lips appear younger and fuller.
If you have sun damage lips or your lips are showing the signs of aging, Jan Marini C-ESTA Lips will help repair your damaged lip area. It works by specifically addressing aging and contour concerns associated with the lips and the immediate surrounding area.

Obagi Elastiderm Eye Cream and Eye Gel
By Bunnie | May 30, 2007
They call this the missing piece of the puzzle. That is so true. I wrote about correcting our skin with the Obagi Nu-Derm products. But what about our eye area?
I love the original Obagi Eye Cream but it is only a “comfort” product. I need to control the crow’s feet and crinkly skin.
Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream and Obagi Elastiderm Day Eye Gel are the first skincare products from Obagi for the eye area clinically proven to help replenish both elastin and collagen.
They give the wirnkles around the eye area the ability to bounce back so that skin looks, feels and acts younger. You can see results in as little as two weeks.
The eyelid is the thinnest skin on the body. As a result, the eye area is the first place wrinkles appear and on average some women begin to see their first wrinkles at the age of 30.
Collagen adds strength and elastin helps the skin stretch and holds it firmly in place. Both are necessary to minimize wrinkles and keep skin looking youthful.
Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream and Obagi Elastiderm Day Eye Gel are appropriate for anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes for tighter, firmer, more youthful looking skin.

Obagi Action and Tolereen
By Bunnie | May 29, 2007
Obagi Action and Tolereen are great support products for the Obagi Nu-Derm System. Read more about the Obagi Nu-Derm products.
When you find yourself in the “out with the old” phase and your skin is feeling somewhat dry and itchy and you are experiencing some flaking these two products blended together can make a world of difference.
The Obagi Tolereen is 0.05% hydrocortisone and has an immediate effect on the stratum corneum and the epidermis.
The Obagi Action is a mild skin hydrator and softens and soothes the stratum corneum.
If someone calls on Wednesday and asks you to attend a party on Friday you can blend a dab of these together in your hand, apply to the face 2-3 times a day and look fine within 24-48 hours.
Your itching and peeling should subside. When the party is over go back to your Obagi Nu-Derm routine as directed by your doctor. Remember, it is an 18 week commitment to beautiful skin.
