Don’t forget your Sunblock!

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Summer---SunWhoever said that sunblock can only be worn and applied through thick messy lotions or creams was not very creative!Most Bare Escentuals mineral products include SPF including their latest addition of Bisque multi-tasking mineral (their concealer line). Dr. Hauschka’s SPF lip balm has been known to be used on the face. And we can’t forget to mention our favorite spray on Sunblock. That’s right spray on sunblock made just for the face.

Some of our loves (and most of them all-natural, bio-friendly & green of course!):

Drabby Dull Skin

Saturday, 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).

Summer is approaching, how to prepare

Thursday, 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

Monday, 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

Fall Colors

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Here at LimeBeauty Headquarters, the beautiful Fall colors remind us that the Autumn season is upon us. Most fashionistas and beauty expert’s say that we have to wear dark colors in Autumn . We think otherwise!

Brighten up your look! Bring sunshine to your color chemistry! Our customers on the other side of the world (Australia and beyond), know exactly what we’re talking about as they’re getting ready for their beach season!

We say, go against the grain…stay tan (with Faux Tan minerals or Body Moisturizer) and stay bright (Warm Radiance).
