Microdermabrasion Cleanser w/ Papaya Enzymes
Step 1 of our Microdermabrasion System.
Specially formulated for sensitive skin, this Microdermabrasion Cleanser contains vitamins and a natural enzyme from Papaya that will wash away dirt without removing the skin’s natural oils, leaving skin hydrated, soft and beautiful.
• Anti-oxidants Vitamin A, B5 and E lock in hydration
and aid in tissue repair.
• Papaya Enzymes help naturally brighten dull tired skin.

Microdermabrasion Exfoliator w/ Mineral Crystals
Step 2 of our Microdermabrasion System.
Specially blended with Mineral Crystals, Papaya Extract and a potent blend of vitamins to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. Rejuvenates the surface of the skin for visibly fresher, softer, more beautiful skin.

I have offered both of these products separately as well. I LOVE the exfoliator and use it about 2-3 time a week. I don’t have sensitive skin so this doesn’t irritate mine, but if you do have sensitive skin you should use this about once a week or once every other week. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells off the surface of the skin which helps reduce a ruddy, dull complexion.

Brows are Important!!

Brows are Important!
Most people are unaware of the great way to finish off a polished, put together makeup look. The brows are the final touch to a great face. My new Brow Wax helps to accomplish this easy to do final step. Using a synthetic flat or flat angled brush coat the brush edge with the wax. Then using a powder shadow that matches your brows, coat the brush with the shadow on top of the wax. Starting at the thickest portion (see diagram) draw a straight line on top of your hairline, and a parallel line underneath. This will help to better define your shape. As a final step take from the point of the brow, or from your arch (depending on your brow shape) and add the final line. You can finish up by applying more color to the center if you need more density, or if you want to add more wax to tame unruly brows. The goal is to help keep eyebrows pulled up into their shape keeping the eyes in a more framed symmetrical look. This can also help fill in where an over zealous tweezer has done some damage.

Getting Ready for the Summer

Tan Lines is a great product for Summer. It is the perfect combination of browns, golds, and bronze flickers for bronzing all skin types. It has shimmer in the gold strip but never goes on glittery. To Apply: Stroke the compact a couple times from side to side or in a circular motion, depending on preference of color intensity, and knock off excess by tapping the edge of the brush on compact. Start at the center of your forehead and draw a 3 on one side of your face. The middle peg being your nose and the bottom being your chin. Repeat on other side. With same brush, with most powder already applied and tapped off, begin blending if you see lines or large powder deposits. You now have a healthy glowing finish.

New Brush

brush506.jpgGreat New Brush

Look familiar?  It should.  This brush is almost exactly the same as that Department Store brand you are always eyeing.  This brush is slightly thinner, but works all the same.  Perfect for creating that airbrushed look with foundation and works wonders to apply creme blush.  You will not be disappointed with the 506.  Check it out in the brush section.
