The 80’s are back

April 9th, 2009
Bold in-your-face colors are splashing everywhere: from bright hues of greens & blues eyeshadows on our eyes, yellow painted nails to hot pink kissable lips. Yet, out of them all, PURPLE is the trendiest color of the season.

Putting on purple is a tad intimidating at first, but not to dismay as a little can also go a long way. And why is it so trendy you ask? It’s not only a gorgeous hue of brilliant brightness, but a splash of it on your face can make the barest of skin come alive.

::..Our Purple Power make-up tip of the day..::
Dibble dabble any shade of purple (we like the metallic ones for an extra POP) on the top of your eyelids and don’t be shy to apply from your lash line up to your eye crease. Then for an extra bit of purple pizzaz, dip your finger or favorite eye-brush in that pot of purple eye-shadow and apply on the BOTTOM of your eyelids [YES, we said BOTTOM] from the inner corners to the middle. 

You COULD apply to the entire bottom ends of your eyes when applying it on the bottom eyelids, but we think that look is more for the evening. And for an even more dramatic evening look, apply the Purple Pizzaz eyeshadow above your crease line (about half way up to your eye brow line). VOILA~

Getting GREEN…just in Time for the New Year

January 5th, 2009

Happy 2009 New Year! 

We are so pleased to announce that with this New Year, LimeBeauty is literally turning  Green [we told ya it was coming and now it's actually happening -- YIPEE!].

To kick off the festivities, we will be adding some new “green” products, including Dr. Hauschka brand make-up. We hope you’ll check back with us frequently to see our new line-up.

Drabby Dull Skin

December 6th, 2008

The winter’s here in Chicago are rough on our skin. And even though Winter does not officially start until December 21st, the snow and cold, dry air is making us look drabby & dull. WHAT TO DO?!

We know that sometimes using heavier creams and using hydrating masks can takes days for these skin care products to kick in and do their job. Our experts here at LimeBeauty figured out a quick fix.
Introducing…make-up highlighters.

What highlighters do?
Adding a make-up highlighter to your make-up base, moisturizer or foundation brightens up your skin when applied to your cheeks, foreheads and nose. Besides brightening up your skin, it defines bone structure and gives the most subtle glow.

What is a highlighter?
It ultimately is a type of light diffusing make-up that accents & draws light and attention to certain areas of the skin. These products often come in pen, cream (liquid), or powder form but with all the heavy creams we have on our skin to help combat dryness, the combination of the liquid or pen highlighter PLUS the liquid highlighter can create a weird glop.

OK, so what highlighter do you recommend?
Bare Escentuals Feather Light Mineral Veil is light and airy enough to work with almost any type of skin. Added bonus is that the color is absolutely perfect for all skin tones (whereas other highlighters are skin tone specific).

…Drabby Dull Skin quick-fix problem solved (thanks LimeBeauty Experts!)!

Summer came and went!

And the rest of us are trying our best to cover up our darkened sun (a.k.a. AGE) spots.

No matter what you use to cover-up…

Back to School

September 1st, 2008

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,
Back to School means more traffic on the road for those who don’t have kids. =P

Here at LimeBeauty, we are wrapping up our final preparations for Back to School (the month of Back to School that is).
Much like teachers who redecorate their class rooms for their new students, we’re redecorating LimeBeauty.

LimeBeauty is pleased to introduce the we are GOING GREEN!

We’ll be introducing new GREEN lines of make-up (and much much much more).
Along with our current lines of make-up, we’ll be caring eco-friendly, vegan, 100% natural

Summer is approaching, how to prepare

June 5th, 2008

 

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!

Simply swap out your Original Mineral Veil with Tinted Mineral Veil and a splash of Warmth (All-Over-Face Mineral).  Or get real creative and mix-in Warmth to your Original Mineral Veil to create your own ?Tinted Mineral Veil.?

Random Tidbit: Tinted Mineral Veil is in-fact a blend of Mineral Veil and Warmth.

Adding Warmth will add a nice golden glow to your already radiant skin and can even create a perfect faux-tan when applied all-over!

bareVitamins

April 14th, 2008

Tried and tested! This stuff really works.

When something says Dermatologist or Ophthalmologist tested, we still have a doubt in our minds if these doctors are really credible (SORRY! We don’t want to sound like a bunch of skeptics, but we’re sticklers on making sure we provide our customers the BEST line of products that are natural and pure). But the doctor’s seal of approval is not why we love these bareVitamins. Here’s a list of what we love about each:

i.d. bareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upperi.d. bareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upper: Soothing cucumber extract helps relieve puffiness and gives a cooling sensation

i.d. BareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upperi.d. BareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper: Infused with glycolic and salicylic acids to re-energizes tired complexion

i.d. bareVitamins Prime Time Foundation Primeri.d. bareVitamins Prime Time Foundation Primer: Made of plant extracts, antioxidants, and nourishing vitamins C and E for added age-defying power
