TREND FOR 'SUMMER SKIN'.

This Summer the focus is on 'natural' looking skin that is radiant and glowing, highlighted and softly contoured.  

Use a bronzer such as MAC Bronzing Powder in Golden http://www.maccosmetics.com/ to lightly contour the jawline, under the cheek bones, temples and the top of hair line.  Sweep a highlighter such as Nars Albatross http://www.narscosmetics.com/ across the tops of the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose and on the cupids bow.  This will give the face a nice and subtle three dimensional look.

Top off the look with a sheer lip gloss such as Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Baby Pout http://www.smashbox.com/ and a coat of  Maybelline Great Lash Mascara http://www.maybelline.com/ .

SHOOT WITH CELEBRITY HOLISTIC EXPERT ANNAMARIA POLUHA

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to work with 'holistic expert to the stars' Annamaria Poluha.  What an extraordinary Woman!  

Annamaria is hands down one of the most successful nutrition and body image coaches in Los Angeles County.  She has devised a program called "The Bloom Principle" which combines physiology, sociology and mindset capabilities.  In the past ten years, Annamaria has successfully coached over 1000 people to lose weight and take control of their lives and future.

I was so inspired by this woman and I strongly advise anyone of you out there in need of a little 'nudge' to give Annamaria a call.  

A statement from Annamaria's website... The Ultimate Body System ~ A lighter body, a lighter mind, a full life.  Sounds good to me!

EMU OIL - THE SECRET TO YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN.

Plain and simply I am in love with Emu Oil.  Clients, friends, family, random strangers are constantly asking me why my skin always looks so good.  I answer (blushing of course) Jurassic Secret Emu Oil... not much of a secret anymore!

The beauty of Emu Oil is it's 100% natural and is full of poly and mono unsaturated fats including omegas 3, 6 & 9.  The ratios of poly and mono unsaturated fats are almost identical to the unsaturated fats in human skin. Emu Oil is also full of vitamins, minerals, neurotransmitters and many other yet unidentified components. Hence the reason why Emu Oil thickens and strengthens skin, reduces wrinkles and age spots as well as helps with numerous other skin conditions. 

I have been a devoted Emu Oil user for almost two years and I am converted for life.  My skin feels so soft, more elastic and I have definitely noticed less wrinkles and age spots. (No I am not paid to say that).  Being so fair and sensitive my skin often turns bright red and gets extremely irritated. I slap on some Jurassic Secret Emu Oil and voila - happy glowing skin once again.  A tall order I know. Try it, you too will be a Emu Oil convert... that I can promise!

This wonder oil can be used for just about anything;

Acne

Age Spots

Arthritis

Athletes Foot

Burns

Carpel Tunnel

Chaffing

Eczema

Psoriasis

Massage Oil

Muscle Sprain/Strain

Razor Burn

Rosacea

Sun Burn

and of course our favorite... Reducing Wrinkles and Fine Lines.

There are many brands of Emu Oil.  As previously mentioned, I use Jurassic Secret and swear by it.

JOSIE MARAN COSMETICS.

This past Sunday I spent way too long in Sephora (as I often do).  I found myself glued to the Josie Maran Cosmetics counter, all with good reason.  These products are so delightful I found it next to impossible to walk away empty handed.  This eco-friendly line is simply devine.  I love the biodegradable packaging and the scent of the entire line made me feel like I was vacationing on a tropical island! 

Now, those of you who know me know my obsession with natural products goes way back.  The smaller the ingredient list the better as far as I am concerned.  I am constantly on the hunt for products that are free of parabens, toxins, mineral oils, synthetics, petro chemcicals, dyes... you get the idea.  Quite often organic or natural products are great in theory, but unfortunately just don't 'work'. The colors and textures are simply awful,  this is certainly not the case with Josie Maran Cosmetics.  The powders are all highly pigmented and blend extremely well.  My only gripe would be that the concealer was a little too dry making it quite hard to blend.  The lipsticks are very rich and creamy, and glide on really nicely.  The lip gloss was a favorite of mine, the colors are fantastic and smell good enough to eat!

The entire line's base is Argan Oil - hence the delightful smell.  Argain Oil is natural, organic and chemical free.  It is grown on the Argan tree in the semi-deserts of Morocco and is rich in Vitamin E and Essential Fatty Acids.  Simply put, Argan Oil is VERY good for your skin.

You owe it to yourself to give Josie Maran Cosmetics are try.  You will be converted for life : )

VERNE TROYER SHOOT.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with the lovely Verne Troyer.  He was such a delight to work with - both a consummate professional and total gentleman!

The shoot was top secret, all we knew is that it involved 'mobile phones'.  Shhhhhh!

Check out some behind the scenes pics I took with my trusty iPhone.

Until my next adventure...

ORIGINS MODERN FRICTION SCRUB.

One of the things I personally cannot live without is my Origins Modern Friction Scrub.  This little wonder product is worth it's weight in gold x 100!

This scrub is a creamy exfoliator with skin refining rice starch, which quickly removes sluggish cells and uneven skin tone patches.  It helps to reduce fine lines and pores as well as helping to eradicate that all too pesty discoloration.  The lemon oil illuminates your skin with the aloe helps to calm and comfort. this is great for my sensitive skin because it doesn't give me redness or flaking.  Modern Friction leaves my skin both smooth and radiant, giving me a perfect 'glow'.  

Origins Modern Friction Scrub retails for $37.00 and can be found at any of your favorite stockists who sells Origins products.
