Valentine's Day Gifts

Saying you care in a special way is what Valentine's Day is all about. Paying extra attention to those little details that let some know how much they mean to you. We've have some perfect gifts and ideas on how to use them that will tell your special someone just what you mean to them. Plus, they will keep on reminding them of your love and thoughtfulness every time they use them!

For Her:

How about a Smart Spa Colada Sparkle Try Me kit. It contains a sugar scrub and luxry lotion. Hint: Mix up a couple of Pina Colada's (with or without the rum) and toast her "Sparkle" as you present your gift. It will feel like a true tropical getaway with the delicious aromas of coconut, pineapple and papaya!

Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate. Serve her up Chocoholicks - four irresistible chocolate-y shades of decadent lip gloss in a beautiful complact with a retractable lip brush. Add in the Jane Iredale Deluxe Mirrored Cosmetic Bag and a Magic Mitt and you are sure to thrill her!

Shampoo for your Valentine??? Of course, if it is Goldwell's Kerasilk Ultra Rich Care Shampoo and you do the shampooing for them. Nothing is so relaxing as having your hair brushed; so spend some time brushing with the Flatter Me Paddle Brush by Marilyn Brush in long, luxuious strokes. Then shampoo, condition and, of course continue brushing and drying with the Hot Tools Professional Anti-Static Ionic Dryer.

For Him:

Give him a shave and offer to scrub his back! Start with Woody's Shave Lather. This moisturizing cream acts like an aerosol foam and provides a completely different shaving experience. Then draw a warm bath and give him Just4Play Hair and Body Wash. The macro moisture complex will eliminate dry skin and lifeless hair. He will feel refreshed from the inside out! Last, spritz on some Love Grenade Body Spray for the attraction reaction!

For the both of you:

A warm, sexy evening at home with a bottle of wine and an Earthly Body 3-in-1 Suntouched Skin Candle will warm your hearts. Enjoy the soft, fragrant candle glow as you hold hands and sip your wine...then when the candle has melted into a warming skily massage oil, taValentine's Day Gift Ideaske turns smoothing it on eachother. After that, it is up to you!

The Emmy's 2012

Allison Williams

Jessica Pare

Zooey Deschannel

  As we all know the Emmy's were this weekend. Boy, what a show that was! Tracy Morgan "passed out" on stage? HaHa! that was great! Jon Cryer for best leading actor in a comedy? I thought it was going to Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper. oh well. What we do have to say about the Emmy's is LASHES, LIPS, and UPDOS! Those seemed to be the big three beauty focal points this year on the red carpet.  Zooey Deschannel(New Girl) looked stunning with her thick lashes and raspberry lips. Very kissable!! Oh and Allison William's(Girls) french twist accented her face beautifully!  Kat Denning's(2 Broke Girls) burgundy lips on her fair skin looked very sexy! Jessica Pare(Mad Men) really wowed us with her thick sexy lashes and hot orange lips! And Heidi Klum's(Project Runway) eye stood out with her simple sexy lashes!

  Now its your turn! First the French twist. I've posted a pretty useful video. Her look is a little extra volumized for 2012 so just don't tease as much hair. If you live somewhere humid ar just have frizzy hair highly recomend starting with Goldwell Kerasilk Anti-Frizz Serum to keep the look sleek and elegant. Also a perfect hairspray for this look would be Framesi Be Yourself Mist Spray Light, because of the nature of this look a strong or heavy hairspray could make it look really plastic or fake.
  For lips, make sure to pick one that won't clash with your skin tone. For example, an orange color lip isn't going to be the sexiest thing on someone with tan skin. Mirabella offers a great line of lip sticks.
  Eylashes can be tricky.  Some people are just born with long, full lashes while some of us really have to work for them. In any case, however, there are many options! If you already have long, full eye lashes we call you lucky! The way to bring the focus to them is as easy as just having a goo mascara. Jane Iredale Longest Lash is a perfect one plus it has a variety of colors to match the way you feel each day. Now if you don't have the long lashes you desire there are a few different options. One is a serum like Rapid Lash or Revitalash. Every night just apply like eyeliner and it helps treats the roots of your lashes for extended strength and growth. Another option is a conditioner mascara first then mascara i.e. Jane Iredale PureLash Extender. Using a conditioner can also extend the ware on you mascara. The final option is for quick needed that night uses(conditioning and serum take time to fully grow your lashes). However its also not a long term fix. The idea false eye lashes. Xtended Beauty is a brand dedicated to false eye lashes, false lashes can sometimes have a bad connotation but in all reality they are great for a night out. The biggest thing you have to put them on carefully or they will bother you all night! make sure to trim the lashes to your size before putting them on and take a deep breath before you out them on for steady face and hands. I hope this helps you to look red carpet fabulous! If you have you own Ideas for a red carpet look or just a post in general please contact us!

New Favorite!

I am in love with Jane Iredale's Eye Glosses especially the Aqua Silk and the Champagne Silk.  This is the easiest product to use and make a big impact on your eyes!  Just run a thin line across your upper eyelid and POW your eyes look bigger and brighter.  Put on some Mascara  and your eyes will sparkle all day! Yes these eye glosses will take a minute to dry but then they will last until you wash them off.  Truely a fun product to experiment with and you will love the results.
