I’ve always loved tatoos and how they look on certain people.  Kat Van D is one of those people.  She looks like a beautiful walking picture.  Kat is well know as a reality TV star and famous LA tattoo artist and owner of High Voltage tattoo. Her passion of tattooing along with years of doing makeup has inspired her new makeup line that is guaranteed to unlease the your seductive, sheek or wild side. Click here to check out her collection of must haves.

Check this baby out! Macara has now been taken to a whole new level.  I think mascara is the only beauty product that I just cannot live without and I can’t wait to try  the Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara.  This revolutionary, totally tech mascara was designed to grip your lashes at the root to create a high definition look, separating your each lash perfectly and creating an eye masterpiece. 

Applying eyeshadow couldn’t have gotten any easier then with Eye Envy by COLORON.  A revolutionary new peel-off mineral cream eyeshadow that’s hypoallergenic, lasts long and won’t crease. Fits any eye and comes in a variety of lovely colorful shades.  Available at Sephora.

Having a hard time deciding on that right mascara?  Well girls, your worries are over!  The sampler Lash Stash pack exclusively from Sephora gives you the opportunity to test out 7 of the most popular mascara brands.  These travel size mascaras include Blinc Kiss Me, Benefit Bad Gal, LORAC Publicity Stunt, Stila Multi-Effect Mascara, Two Faced Lash Injection, Smash Box Bionic Mascara and Sephora’s own brand Lash Plumper.  All in black.

Our lashes take a beating sometimes from the constant use of eyelash curlers, mascara, eyelash perming, fake strip lashes and of course my favorite eyelash extensions. All we want to achieve is long beautiful, thick lashes so chances are we are not giving up any of our lash gear.  What we can do, however, is condition our lashes to keep them strong and healthy with eyelash conditioners that will stimulate eyelash growth, make the lashes thicker as well as darker, like the newest lash product called LASHFOOD.

There are a few companies out there who offer similar products that will stimulate eyelash growth but what I like about LASHFOOD Eyelash Conditioner is that they only use 100% natural ingredients and herbal extracts. I’ve been testing this product to introduce to my clients who wear eyelash extensions and I have to say it’s been exactly two weeks and I can see new growth in my lashes and my brows. Best part is absolutely no irritation. LASHFOOD is water based and goes on clear.  You use it twice a day to start.  Just apply like a liquid liner to the base of the lashes and like i mentioned it works great for brows also.  Definitely a recommended buy for anyone wanting long, luscious, thick lashes with or without eyelash extensions or mascara.  LASHFOOD is not on the market yet but will be available in July for purchase at LASH OUT!

Not to long ago I wrote about this hot new Japanese mascara called Fiberwig.  Well, I finally decided to let my eyelash extensions fall off and try this innovative new lash product.  First of all the mascara itself contains these tiny little fibers that you can actually see on the brush itself.  Once you start application these little fibers attach to your own natural lash and produce an immediate lengthening effect.  With each coat I applied my lashes got longer and fuller but not clumpy.  Any mascara that accidentally found it’s way onto my skin came off with one sweep of a q-tip.  Also no smudging! What i most loved about Fiberwig though was washing it off.  With warm water all i did was gently hold my lashes in between my fingers and slide it off.. almost like picking it off.   The mascara removal process was so easy that there was no mess and barely any effort.  Fast and easy the way i like it!

After hearing that we digest up to 4 pounds of lipstick in our lifetime it made me wonder about the ingredients in some of my lip care products. We don’t realize that everytime we wear lipstick and lick our lips we are internally consuming their ingredients as well. With Organic Lip Love Lipstick there is no need to worry. Made with certified organic ingredients the Organic Lip Love Lipstick is free of petroleum, dye, mineral oil and parabens.  The lipstick has organic oils that condition and protect our lips and is filled with vitamins to nourish and repair.  How can you go wrong with organic?

Glisten your lips with a hint of gold.  The Belmacz Gold Leaf Lip Gloss is a rose scented balm that has tiny golds flecks - makes sense it was the creation of a jewelry designer. Can be purchased at Barneys.com

Applying foundation has just been made easy with this egg shaped sponge called the Beautyblender.  The creation of 2 hollywood makeup artists, Rea Ann Silva and Veronica Lorenz, both experts in creating the perfect flawless finish for their celebrity clients. The unique patent pending elliptical shape offers a quick foundation fix and easy application from the standard sharp edged designs.  The Beautyblender smooth suede texture is soft to the touch and allows for blending perfection, even for those hard to reach spots.  What you end up with is a professional finish and a flawless complexion.  The Beautyblender sponge also comes with it’s own cleansing solution so no need to throw away.

One of the reasons why I don’t really wear foundation too much is I can never seem to find a shade that will match my skin perfectly and even though I do use mineral powders for a smooth finish the skin care, makeup products I have used to even out my skin tone have been the kind to lighten and brighten your complexion like CA Botana’s Doctor Schwab Flawless Skin Fluid or Dr. Perricone’s Ceramic Skin Smoother. 

Last night however I saw a commercial from Almay on their  Smart Shade Foundation.  Basically the foundation goes on as a white lotion which contains microscopic color beads that once they make contact with your skin are activated and transform into your skin’s perfect shade. Now that’s pretty smart!  The foundation also has an SPF 15 and natural antioxidants like grapeseed, gingko biloba and ginseng that keeps your skin glowing.

Acheiving that perfect tan doesn’t have to involve long hours baking in the sun any longer and exposing yourself to the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.  Now getting that rich golden glow can be accomplished in just a few minutes a day with Boots No7 Shimmer Gel. It’s a great compliment to any makeup or lotion product and can also be used on it’s own.  Leave no body part unshimmered, it can even be added to eyeshadow!

To keep the shimmer looking hydrated and lasting long apply the Naturally Sunkissed Body Moisturizer which helps to maintain the tan color for up to 12 hours.  Boots No7 brought over from London has been recognized for their high quality skin care products at affordable prices and can be found at any Target store or at Target.com.  You definitely don’t want to pass up these sexy skin care products this summer.
