OILY HAIR!

It is time that we address this on going battle.

Oily hair-and those awful bangs that we love

that look like we drenched it in lip gloss and shine spray and bacon fat.

DISGUSTING!

Myth: I have to wash my hair every day because it is soooooooo OILY!

You oily hair/scalp people need to STOP THIS!

washing your hair everyday to remove the oil only teaches your scalp to produce more.

you need to start by skipping every other day and eventually every 3rd day wash.

Our scalps believe that it needs to produce that oil to nourish our hair-so removing it suggest that it is not getting any nutrition so it produces it at twice the speed. Slowing the shampoo process down teaches our scalp that it is going to be healthy.

Mousy Browns Edmonton

A color safe shampoo-that has a matching conditioner.
If those of you who love love love washing their hair everyday

MUST HAVE: GET BUFFED!

I just keep going on and on and on- about Nails this week.

Maybe-since nails show the sign of your over all health

That is why when you are put under durring surgery doctors, check your nails.

My recent purchase of a nail buffer-

*which I always use rather than polish when I am travelling.*

inspired me to write this blog.

I have always been super fortunate to always use a great buffer-

A great buffer is one that is able to scuff away the ridges on my nails and toes

MORE THAN ONE TIME and WITH OUT PRESSURE

one that

SHINES AND SMOOTHS EFFORTLESSLY.

The Body Shop 5 dollars
This place sold me my first nail buffer ever-now they are in blocks?????
Maybe it is easier to hold-with the terrible customer service I got their
I also got this mediocre Buffing block-whats nice is that one of the sides
 has a file to help keep your edges rounded. The white side (not shown) is
written in white and says to shine with that side-not that great.
Although-the shiniest finish I have EVER seen.
I scuffed my ridges away on my right hand and wasn't sure if it would be able to do my left.

Deborah Lippmann 15 dollars
Holt Renfrew
As part of my swag bag at a media party we were given
part of "The LIPPMANN COLLECTION"
I got a cuticle oil, a ridge filler and a nail buffer called
"The Smooth Operator."
I don't care to spend this much money on a nail buffer although it did last 6 mani/pedis.
Also, I don't care for the famous Ridge Filler-although famous for men for its matte or satin finish,
I thought it looked like I applied something on my nails rather than having it smooth.

Dannyco DB-14XL
5 dollars Chatters and Sallys Beauty
MY FAVOURITE OF THE BUNCH
I love the shape and I love how long it last me
3-5 mani and pedis:
Maybe because it has a larger spaces and I can use the edges.

Over all, if you are going out (MEN OR WOMAN)

and nail polish just doesn't want to be a friends,

show you care about your self and your hygiene levels

take care of your nails, GET BUFFED for summer.

and give your Nails a Break ever so often.

Always follow up with a cuticle oil:

My crush is the Avoplex oil-with a brush 12 dollars.

Happy Shopping.

GET NAILED!

A clean groomed digit-is just as sexy as a nice ass.

That is: a Modern Clean Groomed Digit.

I am loving that the beauty world is promoting less nail enhancements

and

MORE.MORE.MORE.MORE

Manicures-with a slick coat of color or a hard super shiny buff.

I am a little sick of the shatter or crackle look

everyone has been raging about-I think I will stick to my solids.

I have selected my TOP 3 Nail Polish, Shades for Summer 2011

I love all of these finishes and for their opaque coverage.

As always a good buffing, base and top coat are needed.

Most Inexpensive 5 dollars at Shopper Drugs Smart
has the famous NEW FLAT BRUSH-just like with the 2 week manicure brushes
Favourite Color is #260 Gold Silk-
Glossy Finish
Claim: Up to 10 days of flawless color and shine-
Think more like 5-7

I just need a second to stop awwwww-ing
38 Murale and Holt Renfrew
Always-strong color payoff and looks great with a Matte Top Coat.
Even the darkest to the lightest can pull this drool worthy color off.



I really enjoy this Serena Shatter Set.
Chatters Salon-26 dollars.
With the white shatter on top of Spark De Triomphe
It looks like a snake printed dress-Yum
Looks great with or with out top coat.
Although Seche is my favourite quick dry.




Wonderful on Toes and finger Nails
-don't wear this if you wear those green hospital scrubs though
they will think your going mono-chromatic.
Not super shiny-has a great reflective finish
Rich, full silky color.

SPRING CLEANING! YOUR HAIR DID!

When it comes to spring cleaning

our minds

STOP

The most color safe clarifier

ITS CALLED CLARIFYING

Now don't be prejudice to just cleaning in the spring.
Really clarifying should be done a minimum of 2X a week.
It helps to get rid of the gunk we animals put in it to be pretty.
Unless you just colored-wait a couple weeks.

http://www.paulmitchell.com/

Actually strengthens strands to prevent more buildup and breakage
men-love this product because they can use the foam as a body wash
a gentle scent

CLARIFIERS CAN HELP TO CONTROL OIL

also color safe
I believe this one actually allows hair to brighter-naturally.
a great prep to other chemical products.
for all hair types-including kids



Clarifiers

wash away that awful swimmers green hair

mineral and medical buildup

After The Backstreet Boys concert-EPIC



Nail Polish Rimmel
Lips: Armani-lip gloss
eye shadows: Shu Uemura and coastal scents.

Here is my makeup tip:

Do it all-offer the complete service to amp up your gaines.

You don't have to be great in all the areas-

just know it all, familiarize your self with it.

Educate your clients/models on what your doing and why.

Let them know discoveries about their skin and hair and nails.

Like: what they can do to re-hydrate.

TYRA BANKS-OMG

Tyra Banks:
Screen Capture from AMNTM

I am so in love with this look,

Her hair kept back her nails buffed perfectly

sporting a statuesque look with

DARE I SAY IT?????

FIERCE EYE MAKEUP

-----------------------------------------------

To pull off this look, I recommend you get ready for it.

Prepping your skin so it is clear and well hydrated,

Tyra has said it herself that she swears by Vaseline-

I do believe that there are better items out there than

VASELINE.

Smooth even-foundation is key

make-sure your blush and your lips are not too bold

Unless: you are very dark-

-Add a gold highlighter to your rose colored blush

as for your lips keep it simple: Not clear but Neutral:

Benetint is my goddess for nearly nude lips with a hint of color.

EYES:

Don't just add black!

You will want to add complimentary colors

like smudging an army green next to the eye lash line

or a smoky silver or purple to the bottom lashes.

Smudge is in-so experiment.

SHAPE:

A lot of people just create one shape when creating a smokey eye.

The cat eye.

I recommend that you create one strong base shape:

like ovaling out your eye shadow.

Than taking a softer color-

and than adding it in creating that cat eye

Thus creating:

DIMENSION!

The Energy on set was so positive, upbeat, and every one involved was so great to be around.
Thank you to Aaron Pederson for the use of his Great Studio-Nicest Guy Ever Too.
ALL CAPITALS!



Ania B: Model Above

Wow! She also has a great blog GOOGLE HER!

Her down to earth go getr' attitude was so infectious.

almost every move was like she was telling a story.

The Models were all so down to earth with strong professional attitudes.
Liam: He understands how to move and keep the flow going for every look.
I don't get to work with male models very often-and when I do: I AM NOT USUALLY IMPRESSED!
Liam brought the perfect energy and he is just so aware of his body and how clothes move.

I am in love with this top that Riza is wearing! DROOL!
This girls is one of those girls that you can't help but absolutely want to fall in love with.
her kind demeanour makes you want to smile and the light ethereal background is perfect for her.

Courtney-has legs to kill for and hair Barbie wishes she has!
This statuesque humanitarian: is a breath of fresh air.
She walked in smiling from ear to ear and hugged me like we have worked together our whole lives.
MAJOR!

I think that any shoot-especially commercial needs a great team that understands patience is key.
That you will overlap in time.
But more than anything a GREAT TEAM:
All clothes pulled are available at Kingsway Mall

EYE CREAM-YOU SCREAM-FOR B.Kamins

photo from http://www.bkamins.com/
available at sephora 68.00 CND.

I am so in love with Sephora for their ability to believe and promote sampling!

Although expensive it allows their sales artist to ensure in all of us that their product is the best for our skin.

     AS MUCH AS IT IS ABOUT CLOSING THAT SALE-

     IT IS SO MUCH ABOUT US RETURNING WITH POSITIVE RAPPORT!

I was flying about a total of 14 hours this week: and under my eye area was getting so dry and irritated.

I generally use the Shu Uemura Hydrability Eye Gel-which I do love, love, love!

But I knew there was something else out their.

For my skin type: Dehydrated, not too sensitive, combination and active I need a light weight product that does not leave a residue on my skin-and feels like my skin takes a large drink of water.

HERE'S THE SCOOP:
TIME: 6:00 Vancouver B.C.
Location: Downtown-Sephora Pacific Centre
WHY: the skin under my eyes were so damn dry and itchy: but not flaky!
-----I ran into Sephora although Holt Renfrew was across the street I could of grabbed my Shu Eye Gel and been fine but I needed more-I needed a change.
This wonderful Japanese or Korean Goddess Maka ( I am totally butchering her name)-was trying to help my find an eye gel that was hydrating, would help with
FIRST SIGNS OF AGING, has NO CAFFEINE, NO WHEAT AND NO SOY
She found this cucumber rich eye cream:
I put it on with the sample she put on finger-about 30 minutes into meeting me and as she was busy pumping some product into a jar for me: MY EYES FELL IN LOVE.
-So light weight, so hydrating and so heavenly.
-Dark lines under my eyes diminished and with in my first application the ITCHINESS STOPPED!
-I bought it the day after and-the 3 pumps she pumped me I am still using 2 weeks later so I know its worth the 68.00 I payed.
B.Kamins Oxi-defense is soooooo major! Young or Old-This eye gel is just so wonderful feeling!

I did not even bother looking at the price tag!

                    sometimes flipping the over is the worst decision any of us could do! EVER!

The shitty part about wearing sparkles is the they wear you.

A lot of glitter available is not safe for the face and has a lot of fillers.

NOT TO MENTION THEY FALL EVERYWHERE!

Eye Kandy has come out with a great solution:

Make a glitter that is safe for the eyes and to mix even with Gels for your nails.

The plastic is made from the same stuff that contact lenses are made of.

The LIQUID SUGAR is a bonding product that does not allow the sparkles to move.

Drool for these colors:  I am in Love with

Berry Blast: A pewter with a hint of a soft cool blue.

Marshmallow: A white iridescent heaven.

Pixie: A cool mix of greens and golds.

Sour Grape: A delicious deep Purple.
