Combating dry lips in the cold winters are common sense 101.
Yet, we think it’s just as important in the summer as it is in the winter.
We’ve been told by our Mom’s and have had the same Mother’s tale proven to us by doctor’s that dry chapped lips are a sure sign of dehydration. Whether you’re parched from too many ice teas (yes, the sweet ones from the South or the strong ones from Long Island), combat those lips with extra water AND a good lip balm or lip conditioner.
In search of reading the latest haps in our twitter and blogging community, one of our friends recently posted this news, inspired from the Women’s Wear Daily article, that we thought was too good we had to post it here, too!
The Twilight camp has teamed up with an LA beauty firm, the same folks who recently acquired DuWop AND Lola to name names, to launch a make up line, including 2 called Luna Twilight and Volutri Twilight. Our friend, Temptalia, brought up this WWD article to question ask a good point….would you support something so mainstream that has already made millions (possibly billions) of dollars off our our recession suffering nation? OK! Those were more our words and interpretation of her blog post, but it’s that’s what we got out of it.
On the other hand, when times are tough, don’t you think that it is the little things like Volturi make up that bring a smile to our face. It’s so random and fun that we temporarily forget that our economy might be suffering from this financial turmoil for decades more to come. So, why not put on a happy face and sometimes focus on the happy things to help get through those tough times?
We think it’s “worse” when mega Fashion Houses reach out of their realm and step into the make up world and use their established brand to expand industries. Why don’t they, those Mega Fashion Homes, do what they do best and design brilliant clothes, rather than think they can do it all. HA!
Funny I say this as my guilty pleasure lip gloss is made by Chanel. I only say guilty as no matter how strapped I am for cash, I always find a few shiny coins to refill my favorite Chanel Lip Glossimer Gloss (and now they want to introduce more delicious make up delights –
CRÈME GLOSS LUMIÈRE STYLO BRILLIANCE LEVRES BRUSH-ON CRÈME LIP COLOUR). Then, again, those Mega Fashion Houses could do what the House of Louis Vuitton did and re-brand their make up business. Did you know Louis Vuitton owns Sephora?

We love all of the make up brush cleaners, conditioners and shampoo’s that we carry and use religiously. But a few of our college student clients have asked us, “How can we save a pretty penny on make up brush cleaners [they are just so darn expensive!]?” So today’s blog post is a tribute to all you college kids out there as we say, “Save that pretty penny to spend on a vacay during your summer out of school!!!!”
What it is: Make up cleaners come in all shapes and sizes to essentially do the same thing of cleaning your make up brushes. You have your spray cleaner that can temporarily clean away your make up (great for when you’re on the go or sharing your brush with a friend in need). There are foamy or gel shampoo types that wash your brush and take a day or so to completely dry out your brush. Then we have the wipes that look like face or baby wipes that work much like the sprays.
Recessionista Substitutes for Make Up Brush Cleaners, Conditioners…
The Wipes: Use what you have! If you like cleaning your make up brushes with make up brush specific wipes, then keep on trucking. Using your facial wipes and/or baby wipes to do the same trick.
The Spray: Honestly, we really don’t know how this stuff actually cleans anything. But a good do-it-yourself (DIY) substitute is adding water in a spray bottle with a sprinkle of Tea Tree oil. The smell will be potent as Tea Trea oil has a very unique smell. But adding it is simply marvelous as Tea Tree oil works as a great antiseptic so it is a great thing to include in your first aid kit, medicine cabinet, cleaning cupboard….
The Gel-Type, Foaming-Up Cleaners: This stuff is wonderful if you decide to buy it especially made for cleaning Make Up brushes. However, we ask you this….why can’t you just use a facial cleanser or shampoo? We say, YOU CAN use facial cleanser and/or shampoo and stretch that dollar by not wasting it on Make Up Brush Cleaner!
Make Up Brush Conditioner: Some make up brushes are so delicate that they need conditioner to help preserve their longevity. Our recessionista tip is to just use your own hair conditioner.
VOILA pretty penny saved and mission accomplished (for us that is). Toodles until next time!

Back to School means going up a grade and learning new things for those in school,
Back to School means parent’s will be up earlier driving their kids to school,

As the weather warms up, we dream more frequent dreams of basking in the sun and sporting a delicious golden bronze tan. Where to start? What to do?
First of all, there is no need to replace your foundation for a darker color ? it?s not worth it! Mineral make-up is made to be VERSTILE. The combination of your regular foundation color and Original Mineral Veil might be too light for summer. And updating your summer color chemistry formula can be done in one easy step!
Combating dry lips in the cold winters are common sense 101.
