"1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. We’re doing our part to protect our mothers, sisters, and friends". Beauty Counter says "We will never use parabens – preservatives that can disrupt the hormone system – and other chemicals linked to the disease".

Beauty Counter is taking skin care to the next level. Actually where it should of been this whole time. The standard personal care products are bogged down with harmful chemicals that our skin in fact absorbs and leaches into our body. See just where your current personal care items rank on the toxic list, on the Skin Deep data base.( ie tooth paste, cosmetics, deodorant, lotions.)

Beauty Counter states that they have banned over 1,500 ingredients setting a new health and safety standard. Their products a vegan (with the expectation of the conditioner and lip balm that contains bees wax). They use organic ingredients such as organic coconut oil. They use gluten free ingredients. And use truth in labeling so you know what you are slathering on your skin.

Not only are the products squeaky clean and healthy, they are high performance making your skin radiant! I've sampled the Face Collection and Lustro Oils and now I am hooked! As an Aesthetician I am very selective about the products I use. And when I find something I fall in love with I shout it from the roof tops. Clean products that actually work. I am all in!

After hearing the Beauty Counter story and trying the products myself. I decided to join the movement. I want to help Beauty Counter in their mission to get their products into the hands of everyone! You can join the movement too, whether your just using the products or sharing the Beauty Counter story. Connect with me on FB and visit my Beauty Counter website.

Here's to healthier living and healthier choices. Cheers!

Boots No 7 Extreme Length Mascara

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 19:09:00 +0000

Who isn't on the never ending quest for a great mascara? I know I am. I find something, I like it, it gets discontinued or the formula changes. NEXT!

My Brow Studio is right by Super Target so I go over there in between appointments to shop. :) It's DANGEROUS to be soooo close to Target lol. If I don't like what I am wearing that day. I go buy a different outfit haha. Lately, every time I go over there I have been buying different mascara's to try. Sadly, nothing but disappointment and money in the trash. The last mascara I bought cost 17.99 and sucked. I guess I should of taken it back.

Then one day as I was walking through the make-up section at Target...a bronze tube and a thin green wand,catch my eye. I back up. "Ohh, what is this" I think to myself. I read all I could about it. With an Aesthetic background somewhat of a cosmetic snob lol. How's it going to wear? Will it make my eye's itch? Will it be a pain to take off? (ya never know with mascara now days, it never comes off when you want it to!) What are the ingredients? Is the formula any good? Never the less I behold the bronze torch like bottle in my hand & throw it in the basket. It's 7.99. What the hell, right? :) Last black/brown too. Ha!

My lashes on No 7 Mascara. Love it!

Can I just say the next day when I was finishing my look with a sweep of mascara; Vavoom! Length. Vola! Dark cremy texture. Shazam! Long luscious lashes! Omg. This stuff really works! Boots No 7 Extreme Length Mascara surpassed my expectations! Surprisingly my skepticism was laid to rest. My eyes don't itch! My lashes are dark, long, and beautiful! It wears all day & it comes off with my eye make up remover, no problem! SCORE!

Again, it's me Beauty Review Junkie Your talking to. I'm giving it a month to see if I still love it as much haha. It's been two weeks. So in two more weeks I'll let you know. But, I have this feeling it will be a staple in my make-up bag until it gets discontinued and I am forced to hunt down the next best thing. ;)

That's it for now. Chow. :)

P.S. It's a lil cheaper on Amazon

CocoNUT for Beauty

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 22:36:00 +0000

Put the Lime in the Coconut... :)

One of my newest beauty discoveries is Coconut Oil. 100% Pure Virgin Coconut Oil has many beauty benefits. Coconut oil is an antioxidant, helps prevent wrinkling of the skin, makes your hair shine and helps keep the scalp healthy. Coconut Oil also can be used to cook with and to aid in weight loss.

One day as I was walking the isles of Whole Foods and saw a jar of Coconut Oil. I randomly decided to buy some. I didn't know much about it. In fact I had it for months before I started to learn about all the benefits of Coconut Oil and start using it. Since I had it I decided I needed to figure out what to do with it. I Googled Coconut Oil and read all the things you could use it for. I was particularly interested in the different ways you could use it in a beauty regimen. It can be used for, moisturizer, scalp and hair treatments, deodorant, & chap stick just to name a few.

Since using Coconut Oil at a few nights a week in place of my moisturizer and as a hair/scalp treatment, I have noticed that my skin appears more even, feels softer, and has reduced my blackheads. My hair is shiner and my scalp feels healthier. I also read that it helps your hair grow because it nourishes and stimulates the hair follicle. I'm not sure if that is true, but I must say that I have noticed new growth. So maybe its true? I am a believer!

I have also used it to cook with and as a butter substitute. I have used melted Coconut Oil on popcorn, I have used it on toast with raw honey (delicious!). I use it for any cooking that requires vegetable oil. Its especially good in cupcake or muffin recipes. I have used it as a sweetener in coffee. I kinda went obsessive with the stuff lol. Once you start you almost crave it. I think it's because of the nutritional benefits you get from the Coconut Oil. It is rich in lauric acid which is considered to be equally important as the Omega's.

Here are some beauty recipes to try. Feel free to tweek them if you like & come up with your own concoction. Make sure you share 'em with the rest of us. :)

Coconut Honey Face Mask:
1TBL Spoon Softened Coconut Oil (be sure not to melt it)
1TBL Spoon Raw Local Honey
3 drops Rose Absolute essential oil
Leave on 15mins. Then rinse.

Hot Oil Hair Treatment:
2-4TBL Spoons of Coconut Oil me(depending on your hair length and thickness)
10 Drops of Tea Trea Oil
Leave on for 30mins. Then wash and rinse. (Conditioner is optional since the treatment is a conditioning treatment.)

Facial Moisturizer:
1/4 teaspoon softened Coconut Oil
1 drop Essential Oil of your choice

Essential Oil Ideas:
Lemon essential oil- Oily Skin
Rose Oil- Dry Skin/Aging Skin
Lavendar Oil-all skin types
Chamomile Oil- Sensitive Skin

Enjoy! :)

Beauty Mayhem

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:05:00 +0000

I had to share my beauty mishap stories! Yes I said stories. Not just one, or two, but three beauty mishaps all within a few days of each other. If I would of read my fortune for the month it would of said, "This month beauty is not your forte, run from any beauty you seek!"

Ok so here it goes... A couple clients of mine come in with the cutest perms. Inspired by their look I got the bright idea that I too must have a perm! So the next thing I know I am in perm rods and my scalp is on fire! When the perm rods came out I was expecting these big bouncy locks. You know? Like the one my clients had. To my disappointment I looked like a frizzy poodle! Here's the deal. I must think that I am also a hairdresser. My friend who is an amazing hair stylist tried to convince me that I needed my hair cut to minimize any potential frizz. But I wasn't having any of that because it has taken me so long to grow it out from my short short cut two years ago. Bless her heart when she saw my hair she was like "At least let me nip the ends." lol So of course I let her. Even so I looked like I was wearing a birds nest on top of my head, according to my sweet boyfriend no less. What a mess!

It doesn't stop there. I go into to get a fill. My usual guy is on his way out because he has to file his taxes. So I let one of his employees do my nails. How bad can it be right? Wrong! She applied the white so thick that my nail bed looked like it was wearing a top hat!. Yikes. And when it was all said and done my nails were so un-humanly thick it looked as if I had cat claws. In my effort to hide the hideous sight I paint my own nails immediately when I get home. First I tried a nice light color, but you could see the thick white band of color through it. So I remove that and paint my nails a deep taupe. It looked better, but I just wanted to wear gloves all week. So at this point, in my efforts to get beautified, I now have a poodle on my head and cat claws for nails...

It get's even better lol. So I'm sitting in the nail shop drying my toe nails after an amazing pedicure. I am sitting next to this cute little girl with bubble gum pink nails and glitter. I made a mistake and said to her "awww, your nails look so pretty". You think that would be enough, but nooooo. I had to tell my nail lady how cute I thought this little girls nails were. In her endearing accent she commented back, "You want sparkle too?". I was like, "Ummm, no thats ok". She rebuttals, "Honey, no problem, I give you sparkle too". Again I insist "No, no it's ok". Then she comes at me with a bottle of glitter and said, "Honey, give me your foot". Then the next thing I knew my hot pink toe nails now had lots and lots of sparkle. Bling Bling! The shine from the glitter was so bright that it blinded my eyes, then the room began to spin, and for a moment I was 10 again!! I'm still sporting my glittery toe nails as we speak! lol The funny thing is that I have had several compliments on my toe nails!? :/ Back handed compliments I wonder? lol Oh well....

So you see, I am a walking frizz ball with claws and sparkles. lol

(since then I have replaced my nails and tamed the do. I still have some g-litter removal to do. When is trash pick up day?)

Quality Vrs. Price Point

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 May 2009 21:23:00 +0000

So, I usually write about products that I love, that I am interested in, or that I am curious about. This time I have a rant to share! As you know I typically prefer professional products over OTC products for their quality and performance. Well... I ran out of my usual Bioelements Multi-Task Mascara in Perfect Black and my Bioelements Sheer Makeup. Knowing it would be a few weeks before my next shipment would come in, so I caved and went to Walmart! I completely know better!! Never-the-less I proceeded to purchase make up at Walmart. I picked out what I thought would be the most gentle and perform decently (until my Bioelements came in of course). I bought an Almay Pure Blends Foundation 97.4% natural (or so it claims) and the popular Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in the trusted pink tube.

The first week or so went ok. I wasn't crazy about using my emergency replacements but what the heck it was working. The foundation was a little on the greasy side unlike my sheer makeup that just soaks in and is like I am wearing nothing. The mascara was a bit watery for my liking but hey my lashes looked long & dark.

About a two weeks into using my emergency replacements, my skin started to break out and my eyelids became itchy and red! Coincidence? I think not! Just to prove my point I stopped using the Almay foundation and my skin started to clear up (however my eye's were still suffering the irritation of the mascara). The following week I stopped using the mascara and sure enough my eyes gradually got better!

The whole experience just confirmed that quality is more important than price. Although price was not the reason for my purchase, I am sure it is for many. Who doesn't want to save a few bucks? Many products on the market today are not as fabulous as their amazing advertising campaign and the highly paid celebrities that endorse them. In addition to that propaganda there are many professionals out there that compromise their integrity and endorse products that are not worthy.

My word of advise? Be cautious when purchasing cosmetics. Purchase from a salon or spa whenever possible. Think quality not price point. Skimp on your latte not your cosmetics. Your skin, eyes, and mouth will thank you for it!

Cheek Gloss for a Summer Glow!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 May 2009 14:38:00 +0000

For subtle, glossy cheeks that say natural but put together, try Rosie Jane Cosmetics - Cheek Gloss!

"Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss is an easy to blend, translucent and glossy cheek colour, developed to enhance the look of natural glowing skin and youthful radiance. A range of three colours to suit any age and any occasion, it can be used on its own for a quick stroll on the beach or with foundation for a big night out. It won't lose its shine."

Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss come in three fabulous colors:

POPPY- deep berry, giving the cheek a subtle, sexy glow.

MARIGOLD- golden bronze giving the cheek a fresh natural glow.

ROSE- hot pink giving the cheek a youthful, rosy glow.

A cheek gloss is worn best alone or on top of liquid/creme foundation. You want to stay away from powder because it will cause the gloss to turn into clump.

A cheek gloss it truly pretty and gives the skin an unbelievable soft glowing look!

Beauty Review Junkie Won an Award

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 06 May 2009 17:16:00 +0000

This blog has won the Honest
Scrap Award! Sue aka The Scent Lady who writes the blog YouScentMe, nominated me. Thanks Sue! Check out her blog I'm sure you will enjoy it as I do.

“What’s an Honest Scrap Award?”

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.”

There are some rules to winning this award

I. “When accepting this auspicious award, I must write a post bragging about it, including the name and link to the person who thinks I deserve such acclaim.

II. List 10 honest things about myself. Drum roll please...

1) I have THREE boys! Ages 13, 10, & 14 months.

2) I rescued a fish from Walmart. The story goes... I was walking down the pet isle to pick up some bird food. When I spotted this grayish beta fish floating in his plastic bowl. I tap on the container to see if he was still alive. As I gave the container a few light thumps, the fish started lethargically swimming. Feeling sorry for him I open his container and add water to his bowl from a sink near by. I then opened a can of fish food and gave him a few sprinkles and put him back. He did not come home with me that day. His bright colored companion did. (I bought my son a beta fish to replace on that had recently passed). However on the next trip to Walmart I went to check on the little guy. He wasn't a very pretty beta. In fact he was a dingy color & his tail was tattered with holes in it. Not to my surprise he was still there in the same pathetic shape. This time, I couldn't leave him to die a slow death at Walmart. So I gently pick him up and put him in the cart, picked out a new bowl and marbles for him and the rest is history :) He now lives on my fireplace mantel. He has transformed from this lethargic, dingy, tattered fish, into a happy, healthy, pretty fish. His tail mended quickly and he now is very active and jumps and swirls all around in his bowl. Especially at meal time. It's funny but I'm really attached to the little guy. True story.:)

3) I like sushi. A little inappropriate in light of my previous story.

4) I was a make-up artist on an independent film "The Rune". I don't know what ended up happening with that movie. If it got picked up by Sundance or if the title of the movie changed?

5) I worked for MAC Cosmetics for two years & loved it.

6) I have been an Aesthetician for 10 years and have owned my own business since I was 23.

7) I am into homeopathy and treat my family with herbs, essential oils, and vitamins before we ever go to a doctor.

8) I had my third baby at home. Yes on purpose. If I would of known what I know now, I would have had all my kids in the comfort and safety of my home. It by far the BEST experience. I would do it again hands down.

9) I like the San Francisco band Loquat.

10) My husband and I eloped after only three months of knowing each other. We will have been married for 11years in September. No one thought we'd make it this far. Eat your heart out haters. :P

III. Now I have to choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that I find brilliant in content or design, to pass on this honor. And they are:

Beauty Addict
The Beauty Stop
Couture in the City
The MomRN Show

100% California Wine Grapes for the Skin!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 05 May 2009 20:07:00 +0000

I'm in love with this product. I started using Grapes Antioxidant
lotion probably two years ago now. I started using it in the winter when my hands are at their worst. I wash my hands continuously throughout the day. It's an occupational hazard. My hands tend to crack and look dehydrated. That was the case when I started using Grapes. Believe me I had used every hand lotion and body lotion available. I could not find anything that didn't burn, that nourished, and protected my hands. Then I was introduced to Grapes from a local rep who left me a sample. I started using it after I washed my hands, in the morning before work and at night before bed. In about a week of using Grapes my hands appeared hydrated and the tiny cracks healed. Grapes has been the only lotion I can use on my hands that soothes, doesn't burn, nourishes, & is healing! I was sold and started carrying it at my shop.

Grapes has two formula's Grapes Original
in the purple bottle and Grapes Organic
in the green bottle. Grapes is a nutraceutical which means that it actually feeds the skin from the outside in. Grapes is a super anti-oxidant moisturizing lotion with age-defying, nutraceutical grade, 100% California grape extracts. They both smell amazing but the formula's feel different. The purple Grapes is lighter weight and the green bottle is a thicker cream. Like I said they smell amazing but they are not identical in sent. The purple bottle smells fresh, like a bouquet of vanilla, black raspberry and soft orchid & the green Grapes smells more like a bouquet of delicious harvest grapes and bergamont.

Not only is Grapes a an amazing super-antioxidant hand and body lotion that restores the skin's resiliency and elasticity. Grapes come in the cutes packaging ever. They look like wine bottles. They come in two sizes. Large grapes and mini grapes. I have both. I keep a mini Grapes in my purse and I have a large grapes at home and work.

If you are needing a new hand or body lotion Grapes is definitely worth a try I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Juice Beauty

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 08:06:00 +0000

I am so curious about the Juice Beauty organic skin care line! I am very much a die hard Bioelements fan. Why? Because it works like none other. But... Juice Beauty has some intriguing products like Juice Organics Vitamin Antioxidant (you know I'm fanatical about topical vitamins), Juice Organics Light Tint Moisturizer (I'm completely into sheer light weight coverage), & Juice Beauty Green Apple Extra Firming Body Moisturizer (who doesn't want to stay firm?). Juice Beauty is 95% organic, they use all natural ingredients (truly!), and it is made with a organic juice base. Yummy!

This is what Juice Beauty is saying about their product.

Phthalates or dibutyl phthalate Toluene

Here's a few snippets of what other's are saying about Juice Beauty:

I just have to say, that this is the BEST line of products I have ever used. I am a recovering products junkie, and these products have shown me the light. It took me 10 years to find the perfect solution to beautiful skin, and I couldn't be happier. I also love that I can now effectively feed my skin the same quality as I do my body.

Angie

I am ecstatic that I found an organic solution for aging issues and blemish issues! Unbelievable I have wrinkles and blemishes at the same time but I am thrilled that Juice Beauty not only works but that it is pesticide and paraben free!!!

Jackie -San Francisco

I am 30 years old and have been on every acne med there is including accutane twice. Nothing works and about a month ago I broke out with the worst case of acne that was more like boils. ..I tried your Blemish Clearing Serum and it started to work very quickly. In a week my skin was clear again, not red and swollen. I LOVE THE STUFF!

Lisa

So are you as intrigued as I am? Are you making your things to try list like I have lol? Yea! Well, get your stuff and tell me your thoughts! I'm going to order these products too. I will make sure I tell you the details! If you are or have used Juice Beauty don't hold out, tell me what you think!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:05:00 +0000

As I was doing a little research and debating what topic of beauty I was going to write about, I came across a fun book called Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45 ! Now, I am not over 45 (I'm about 14 years off), and I am not sure how many of my reader are 45 or over, none the less I thought this could be a neat read. Staging Your Comeback has 77 reviews on Amazon most of which is positive and it has a five star rating! I am really curious and excited to read it.

I have browsed the contents through Amazon's "look inside" link. I am really digging a what he says in chapter 1 "Woman today have unlimited options and choices to look and feel young and attractive throughout their entire lives". That is so true! That's one thing I love about my job. I get to help women maintain their youthful appearance, or help them get it back through skin care and make-up.

I will be taking an Age Coaching course through Bioelements this summer. I think Staging Your Comeback will be an enhancement to what I will be learning. I have always strongly disagreed with the school of thought that once you're out of your twenties you're old. How is it possible one is youthful until age 29? That's ridiculous. Besides with great skin care, exercise and good eating habits woman (and men) can look amazing even after 45! In my profession I meet older woman who take care of themselves and they look amazing. On the same note I meet woman who are younger than 45 and look 10 years older because they are not taking care of themselves properly.

So I will end with this, be good to yourself. Eat right, exercise, find ways to keep yourself from being on a stress overload (stress causes breakouts and facial hair growth!), take care of your skin properly, get your rest, and drink water; at least half your body weight in ounces ( it keeps the skin hydrated, dewy, and radiant).
