Party Beauty - 2
It’s the high season for eye makeup, Navy blue, shades of ruby, burgundy, pine. The eyes dare to wear rich shades in intense smoky versions.
On the other hand, the other palette collection called Collector Powders for the Complexion is a powder, blush and highlighter in one that lightens, color and mattifies he skin. With Ampli Light + pigments that tame light, the shades, used alone or blended, give the skin subtle radiance. The beige powder is ideal for lightening the entire face or for a matte touchup. The apricot blush warns and enlivens the complexion. Applied on the cheekbones, the arch below the eyebrows, the ridge of the nose and the chin, the pearly pink shade highlights these features with subtle gold reflection.
For the make-up in the visual, the eyes are monochrome and the lips are bright. What makes this combination contemporary is the very fresh radiance of the pink. It’s the star color of the collection, this season’s red. I wanted it to be perfectly ladylike with Lipstick Pink Satin, or very sassy, spicy almost black with Pure Shine Tuxedo Pink.
Fall/winter makeup collection includes Collector Powder For The Eyes, Collector Powder For the Complexion, Blush Variation Silky Nude, Mascara Ever Green, Fard Pink Satin, Pure Shine Tuxedo Pink, Touch Luminous Radiance.

Party Beauty - 1
When the holiday are just around the corner, you can’t help but get into the party mood. You see it all around you…you smell it in the air…and you are showered with invitations to and from everywhere! Indeed, the Christmas season has begun and the happiest parties are now starting in the most happening places. And don’t forget the reunions, whether with family or friends, that some, if not most, of us fear, especially those who have gained weight or are looking so much older than they should.
Worry not, the best beauty items this season will help you look your best, so without fear, we can all shout “It’s party time!” Cheers!
High Season for Eye Makeup
This year, the makeup collections pay tribute to the couturier, taking inspiration from the tuxedo. Created in 1966, it is the standard of the masculine-feminine style.
Coco Rocha personifies the woman with a diaphanous complexion, shocking pink lips, and deep eyes that are metallic and smoky.
One palette collection is the Collector Powder for the Eyes, which is trio of closely connected shadows to achieve smoky eyes. In shades of Lilac Sky, Riviera Garden of Eden, Tawny, and Indian Pink, you can use this eye shadows to outline the eyes or veil the lids. When mixed with metallic steel grey or lightened with “champagne” white to capture the light, it gives extra depth to the other shades. It has a satin smooth, glide-on texture with silica microspheres that diffract the light in a wide angle. The gold compact contains four colors-dark, iridescent and satiny shades plus a highlighter.

Makeover Moment
When you're dying to ace an interview, you've got to work your look. Hair and makeup astist give one an eminently hireable image. Here are those which we should be remembered always.
A sculpted cut is key for that I've-got-my-act-together aura, so hair artist may downsized your hair to a chic bob. "The angled layers follow her jawline, framing her face." This snip os so low maintenance, she won't have to sacrifice chunks of her psychecks (or her mornings) to keep it in shape.
Styling is a no-brainer when you've got a well-defined 'do. For shine and hold, the hair artist rubbed grooming cream between his hands before draging them from roots to ends. (Applying goop directly on hair makes it too greasy.) As he did a blowout, he aimred the nozzle downward to keep hair flyaway-free.
What's worst than chewing gum during a chat with a prospective boss? Wearing make up that's more prominent than your resume. The artist shaded lids with a vnilla pensil, the blended black liner along the lash lines. Don't extend liner out too far 9 unless you're going for a gig as Cat Woman).
Since an interview is all about what comes out of your lips, you want them to be polished but not distracting. He used a lavander lipstick, then dabbed some on cheeks. The creamy texture delivers a subtle blush; the idea is to avoid looking like you just graduated from clown school.

Glow Your Own Skin - 2
The cure for winter white face: a summery faux tan. Well-moisturized skin takes a tan best, so start with a super-creamy foundation. Next, run a liquid bronze highlighter on you cheekbones and down nose. Enhance eyes by sweeping a berry-bronze shadow along top and bottom lash lines over charcoal liner, then smooth more over lids and up to brows. The key to looking sun-kissed: a reddish blush mixed with sparks of copper and gold. With all the color, lips need just a hint of shell-pink gloss.

Glow Your Own Skin - 1
The just-went-for-a-run glow
For a vibrant, outdoorsy flush – no activity required – put on a palette of pinks. After applying foundation that has a lustrous finish, smooth a glistening pink liquid highlighter on eyelids, forehead, nose, cheek-bones and chin – the luminescence will instantly brighten your face. Next, dust lids with a shimmery apricot eye shadow, glide some berry blush across cheeks and slick on a matching berry lip stain.
The chic hint-of-glint glow
If your skin is on the pale side, try a Midas touch. Start with matte foundation (shine free skin helps golden high-lights show up better). Then brush brush a pale gold powder on eyelids, and rev up the sparkle quotient with a layer of glimmer golden eye shadow. For cheeks, go with a pink-gold blush, then seep a deep gold powder along the tops of cheekbones. Now color lips with a rich, rosy tone that shimmers but doesn’t shine – a little gilt definitely goes a long way!

Do The Dusky
For fall, dusky shades will help you achieve the smoky look using the new eye color trio. You’ll be surprised to find out each trio contains a highlighter, a mid-tone, and a definer shade. The look you will achieve in terms of the color effect after application is the final hour of daylight just before sunset.
Formulated to provide rich pigment, the color glides on smoothly and evenly. It is also water-resistant, long-wearing, and can be used either wet or dry.
Moreover, the color doesn’t stop on the eyes as it continues on the lips with the lip color that gives ultra rich color, moisture, and comfort immediately after application. The quick-release pigments provide long-lasting coverage with sheen. Try refreshing the lip color by pressing your lips together and it would appear fresh and flawless once again. Also, it contains vitamins A and E as antioxidants to soften the lips while shea butter, grapeseed oil, and evening primerose oil moisturize.

Hair Feast
Today’s woman wants to always be at her best, and what better way to achieve this than by having well-styled hair. With these hair accessories, you can get the look that’s right for you.
Don’t use accessories that are too distracting – this means accessories of a too bright color or that are too big. You want people to look at you and not the gaudy piece of plastic in your hair. As much as possible, try to match the color of the hair accessory with the color of your hair, and not with color of the clothes you’re wearing.
If you’re wearing hair accessories that are shiny and bright, like those made of gold or silver, or that are studded with rhinestones, you can choose designs that are small and simple. Don’t wear several hair accessories all at the same time, like a ribbon clip together with a headband and barrette.
When buying a headband, make sure that it fits the shape of your head and that it’s comfortable. If it’s too tight, you can get a headband. Make sure that when you’re wearing a barrette or clip, it holds enough of your hair so that it doesn’t slide off.

Beauty from Within – 5
The Super Natural
How’s your day everybody? This is the kind of women I want to interview. I think this will be my last interview, so I hope you will always there. Let me start now.
Despite her penchant for trends, there are some things she won’t be too daring with. Among those is what she’ll do to her skin. This constantly evolving fashion designer and model maintains that there’s one thing that never goes out of style; great skin. “What I’m most concerned about is the health of the skin”, she says. She don’t like anything invasive or surgical. Organic as much as possible, or bio-dynamic. Natural. But also practical because of her lifestyle. She can’t stay hours in a salon or spa because she still have to take care of her children.”
What made facial care center appeal to her is discovering that they use those all-natural products that she loved. “Plus they have natural facial. One of which is the Vita Spa, which she really love! It uses the powers of Vitamins A, C and E for an intense therapy for the skin. It’s the best facial she had,” she declares. Anybody can make a good mask or scrub, but how it is applied or used is a whole other story.

The Mother Lode of Beauty
Are you ready to listen to the forth woman I interview. She is hard to find, but I never give up when it comes to my blog. So I will not prolonged my introduction here because I’m also eager to tell you o gave you the result of my forth interview.
This teenybooper proves that some things can get better, even when you least expect it. This woman I interviewed is a former band singer of her 90s has been gone from the crowd for almost 10 years now, but has retained her looks. She looks even better now. “Some people even say I look younger now. It must be because I’m more relaxed and a lot happier now. And I’ve started going to facial care center regularly, which is a great experience!”, she said.
She admits that while she has her vain moments, she wasn’t always active in taking care of her skin. Her biggest problem were oily skin and acne. And because she also got cystic acne, she retain skin blemishes even when the acne’s gone. When she knew about Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), she was really got interested to try it. This is a non-surgical treatment that uses a broad spectrum of light to treat various discolorations and blemishes like age spots, freckles and spider veins.
She told me, after trying for the first tie, she already felt her skin tighten and her age spots fade. Her pres are not as visible and her skin looks finer and smoother. She encourages women especially mothers like her, to indulge their skin. “I admit that when I’m confident about myself, it changes the way I deal with people. I’m happier more relaxed, more at peace – and I think younger-looking!” she declared.
See you next time !!!!!!!!

Understated Elegance
Ready for my part 3 series of article? Well, I’m glad that you are still there. This is the third woman I interviewed. And I’m glad she agree with me to interview her. At first she don’t want because of her busy schedule. But I insist. Thank God. So let me start from here.
“I’m probably the least bit fashionable, the least bit in the know when it comes to make-up and hair.” States candidly by the woman I interviewed. This nature stunner claims that having come from a family who loves the outdoors, vanity was the last trait she would have developed. “She never had a facial in her life … until she went to facial care center.” She came out a convert after her first ever session.
“It’s all just natural but it makes a difference,” that’s what she said. No matter what people say, the face is the first thing people notice. She’s not saying that people should get facelifts o plastic surgery done. On the contrary, I feel that everybody has a natural beauty within themselves, and is focusing on your assets that’s a challenge. Beauty comes from within. Once you’ve got that down, you’ll see a newfound confidence emanate, and people will notice!”.

I'm just eager to share with you what's the result of my second interview with a woman. , who shares her beauty within.
A woman at 37, a model relates how she is, in a way, a "gossip girl" admits to having a kikay-chit-chats every so often. " Girls like to compare notes, especially on what workds for them." That's how she came to know and became interested in one facial care center for its popular special treatments. "You go there and you see it," that's what she told me. "Go get the collagen treatment!" "Go get the diamaond feel!" And happily revealed it to me that there's an amazing effect on her skin that really shows! So aside from the advertorials, it's also word-of-mouth. It's a rippling effect!"
"She tried their products and services and she really happy with the results." Because of the industry she's in, she usually wearing a lot of make up. But on days when she don't have schedule of work, she's rather not to put make up at all. That's why she told me she want to get a Diamond Peel every two weeks. The Diamond Peel is a non-surgical treatment that uses a diamond-dust coated want to gently remove dead skin cells and surface dirt. This is the last words that she told me......" One thing I like about coming from a facial care center is it makes you confident because once you get out of there, you feel your skin is so clean, nice and glowing you don't even need any make-up on."
Third woman is coming . . . . . . :)

Embracing aging
Good morning to all my readers. I hope you are in all good. I want to share some beauty tips with all of you women out there. This time I'm eager to tell you all what I have known to some of the women here in our country. For me, this is the most important beauty tips that i can give you. Beauty from within. Let me share it to all of you now.
Beauty is relative. Some women equate it with youth, others with being ageless. No matter their different view, facial care center knows that women want to look their finest no matter their age, skin type or life style. I have asked five various women embody the ideals of facial care and its regards for true beauty at any age. All are equally beautiful, talented and real.
First woman I asked is at her early 40's. She always seems to put a fresh spin on things. Still stunning at 42. she has no worries about revealing her real age. "It's not like I don't recognize the aging process. I'm just not afraid of it," that was she said to me.
She is a "very low maintenance person," as she confides with me, who values the basics. Indeed, even with the coming on of quick surgical fixes, she never entertained the idea of sticking a needle into her face, let alone a surgical incision. She don't intend to anything invasive! In 20 years, who knows what the effect on your skin will be? She mentioned me aq particular facial care center which she goes frequently. She told me, that at least she can't delay the aging process but not change the way she look." She says that her favorite treatment is a non-surgical treatment that tightens, lifts and firms up the skin. The process is like this, using a combination of light and bi-polar radio frequency, repairs lax sagging skin and removes wrinkles, jowl and neck laxity. sags under the eyes, brow lines and laugh lines. "No pain at all," that's what she said to me.
See you with the next person i interviewed . Have a nice day to all !!!
