I feel like I've let down the viewing public but every cloud does have it's Silverlining At least we've got Karen Gravano back on MobWives this season! I love her dearly as you all know and I'm so sorry that I didn't get to celebrate with her but that night in particular it was crucial that I stay with my grandmother& it was worth it because grandma is making a remarkable recovery.

Jack Frost isn't just nipping at your nose,He's out for all your skin.Dry skin can get itchy and uncomfortable.These are just a few of the ways I prevent & protect my skin from harsh winter weather. I hope they work for you as well as they do for me. xo~L</h4>
<h3>
<u>Snow removal aka Exfoliation</u></h3>
<h4>
<b>Under a microscope h</b><b>ealthy skin cells </b><b>are round like tiny bubbles bursting with moisture,Dry dead skin cells are flat almost like snow covering the ground.</b><b>Start by removing dead (ashy) skin cells so that moisturizers can penetrate deeper and reach your fresh healthy cells. The best way to do this is by exfoliating. In the summer when your nice & tan you don't want to slough of your color but in the winter you want a deeper scrub (Snow removal) Slightly dampen your skin in the shower with WARM (not hot) water,Then step back out of the spray and turn the water to it highest hottest setting (be careful to stay out of the water) We just want the steam to loosen up those skin cells and open your pores to the exfoliant. Standing in the steam begin with your elbows & knees(save your feet for last) using circular motions work your scrub over your arms,legs etc.For an even deeper clean you can scrub on dry skin I save that for feet. I avoid scrubs with pits,seeds,nut or shards of anything.Play it safe look for circular beads that will loosen the dead cells up without causing microscopic tears on the surface of the skin like something sharp might.</b></h4>
<h3>
<b><u>Layering</u></b></h3>
<div>
<b>Try layering your moisturizers like you do your clothing.I suggest using a body oil in the shower on damp skin then a quick rinse will leave you hydrated but not slippery after towel drying apply a cream or lotion,lightly pat excess product with a towel before clothing.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<h3>
<b><u>Extended exposure</u></b></h3>
<div>
<b>Whether Skiing,Snowboarding or just plain old waiting for the express bus try using your left over SPF from the summer as a barrier cream against harsh winter winds.Although we think of SPF as a preventive measure its full of anti-oxidants and is a great repair,restore treatment,sealing in moisture while fighting free-radical damage and premature aging.Besides most people don't realize that it expires and end up saving it and ultimately getting sun burned the following summer.</b><br />
<h3>
<b><u>Nighttime is the Right Time</u></b></h3>
<div>
<b>P.M. for heavy creams that leave a residue apply under pajamas,socks and either aloe infused or light cotton gloves, Apply your richest creams to clean skin and then slip on you sleep clothes.Remember if you don't normally apply eye cream at night? winter is a good time to start. </b></div>
<h3>
<b><u>Face First</u></b></h3>
</div>
<div>
<b>Again use a heavier cream at night, In the daytime we want to protect from windburn and freezing temperatures and at night we want to repair the damage of the day.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Happy hydrating~ xoxox~Love</b></div>

<b>P.S. Don't forget to tune into MobWives on Vh1 Sunday Nights.</b><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you Tweethearts for all your fab beauty question submissions I'll try to answer as many as I can here more than a few addressed </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">under eyes </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">puffiness aka The Baggage. So let's start there!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As hectic as our lives have become it's no wonder that many of us find ourselves looking less than fresh under our eyes,whether it's dark circles,puffiness,crows feet or swollen sagging eyelids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I can't cure hereditary eye issues or those that stem from anemia or a vitamin deficiency but I can give you some tips on how to soften their appearance and in some cases how to rid yourself of them all together.If these pro M.U.A. secrets don't work for you,then I'd suggest making an appointment with your physician,Remember if it's important to you it should be important to your Dr. as well. Medical professionals are there to help,But they can't help unless their given the chance.So don't be afraid to visit your Dr.for something less than a severed limb. Some times under eye issues can be signs of a larger problem ie.(iron deficiency,high blood pressure or excessive sodium)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u>Here are some quick fixes:</u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#1~Invest in a quality eye cream:Be sure to read the label thoroughly and make sure it addresses your specific concerns,If a</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> sales associate is available a</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">sk as many questions as you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#2~Be sure you are using a cream specifically labeled for eyes and not just a face cream.You see face cream is designed to bind large molecules of moisturizer into areas that have pores and produce their own oil,the texture of under eye skin is different it's thin and using the wrong cream in that delicate area can cause the moisture to become trapped under the delicate skin and create puffiness. So read all your creams thoroughly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#3~If it's puffiness rather than darkness I would suggest an eye gel rather than a cream,the lighter weight will help release any moisture trapped under your epidermis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u>Rules of Concealment:</u></b></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#1~</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think camouflage!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make sure your concealer is only one shade lighter than your foundation,a very common mistake is to choose a drastically lighter concealer in an attempt to cover dark areas.When concealer is too light it acts as a highlighter and draws more attention to the discoloration giving you a kind of Owl eye effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#2~Less is More. Take time to really look at the dark area and only place concealer where it's dark don't just lather it under the eye all over even if you are in a hurry. Too much concealer can create a raccoon effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#3~Just a dab will do ya!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Try mixing your eye cream and your concealer together on the back of your hand and then apply by dabbing dots under your eyes.Using your ring finger(you will get less tension from this finger than from your index)Rock back and forth under the eye NEVER DRAG your fingers hurriedly! Tugging at delicate under eye skin will create the appearance of wrinkles.Now as your cream soaks in your concealer will set to a flawless finish.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u>Here are some healthy remedies:</u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#1~H20,Increasing your water intake will help hydrate your skin all over your body including under your eyes and it will flush out toxins that cause free radical damage,it's good for everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#2~A little known Vitamin which is designed specifically to promote under eye health is Lutein,this supplement has also been said to aid with healthy vision.It generally is sold in jars of 40-45 mg doses just one soft gel daily is appropriate.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-DDC82E9n9g2V4y-bhKYowoGoe4t6tONDPiXii3NaKUHYpGrwBofplAAnstm9jjspS9BVK8aNIIfZX_maYXDK7ht0NKJa4aR9qboBUvwNQWYLzwsOyuQzOc5FMO3qzdc-WoBqyPbfwy5c/s1600/IMAG1326.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-DDC82E9n9g2V4y-bhKYowoGoe4t6tONDPiXii3NaKUHYpGrwBofplAAnstm9jjspS9BVK8aNIIfZX_maYXDK7ht0NKJa4aR9qboBUvwNQWYLzwsOyuQzOc5FMO3qzdc-WoBqyPbfwy5c/s320/IMAG1326.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is just the brand name I happen to have but there are many others available on the market. Lutein is a wonderful anti-oxidant and will also prevent free radical damage which causes premature aging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#3~Everyone hates this one but it is very effective in Baggage prevention,reduce your sodium intake,this will prevent swelling all over your body,Especially under your eyes. Try replacing salt with herbs or Mrs.Dash.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#4~ZZZZZZ. Get some sleep! Try using a sleep mask.The 1st few times it will feel silly but after a week or so your brain function will adjust to a "lights out" mentality and as soon as you put it on you will find yourself slipping into a more peaceful sleep.(unlike myself that sleeps in front of the TV and never gets good rest)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#5~Add a MultiVitamin to your daily routine,I realize this sounds trivial but now that they come in gummy bear form and in bubble gum style you really have NO EXCUSE!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1VlbmsQ6pTEMBwlKSqIMzV6rx7Ol1KreCZAkMp8s4GWfvA-BAMrzATZMPs2bZ_F_lOsIkkQydjmVJOMBxZP9ZRUozmFPrsQrgfqppKrJpVMHi1vBpdUlAIFIr8tJZ3s1Pa-kBAngI0Pa/s1600/IMAG1328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1VlbmsQ6pTEMBwlKSqIMzV6rx7Ol1KreCZAkMp8s4GWfvA-BAMrzATZMPs2bZ_F_lOsIkkQydjmVJOMBxZP9ZRUozmFPrsQrgfqppKrJpVMHi1vBpdUlAIFIr8tJZ3s1Pa-kBAngI0Pa/s320/IMAG1328.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are 2 of my faves but there are several on the market.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>In case of Emergency:</u></span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw-ALBiabhjLts8AWJ4ohb4Dp4L-ZJIKQDmTrSZDLcbgecAvN35o2qdZV_6qYhBYwlJZMpex1nhaOOE_C50ht-X-MTtJUI479l4grX6I3hxGfffzCtZVo_Mu_RZEDR4MXX5IeliHuSB6v/s1600/top-secret.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLw-ALBiabhjLts8AWJ4ohb4Dp4L-ZJIKQDmTrSZDLcbgecAvN35o2qdZV_6qYhBYwlJZMpex1nhaOOE_C50ht-X-MTtJUI479l4grX6I3hxGfffzCtZVo_Mu_RZEDR4MXX5IeliHuSB6v/s1600/top-secret.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are short term instant gratification tricks for your under eyes.They are not EVER to be used daily and I only recommend them for moments of absolute desperation such as~Picture day,High School reunions,Photo shoots, Red Carpet events, Your frienemies wedding,Your frienemies son/daughters wedding,Your frienemies funeral.If used more frequently these methods will surely dry your under eye area and make the condition worse.Also they stop working if you use them more than once a month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#1~Place Q-Tips in a Zip-Loc bag moisten the swabs in Visine and store it in the freezer. After your eye cream and before your concealer take out a single frozen Q-Tip and roll it under your eye over the puffy areas only.Like you are rolling dough with a rolling pin or you can apply pressure like they do to professional boxers.The Visine will take out any redness and the coldness will help take down the swelling.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#2~When Pro MUA's encounter a not so well rested model we often swipe a Preparation H suppository under her eye,again only where its puffy.It causes the tissue to tighten & firm temporarily.If you use this trick Be super careful not to get this in your eyes because it burns like hell and be warned Cinderella this may not last until the clock strikes 12 so its great for photos but its not an all nighter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">#3~If you have some time to relax make some green tea and once the tea bags cool down place them over your eyes and lie back for a 15-20 min catnap the anti-oxidants will help freshen your under eye area and the tea will tighten it up.</span><br />

LADIES!!<div><h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Beauty Betch Rants</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Is a new section of the blog in which I am inviting all my girls to bring me your tired,your weary,your lame and unused products.Tell me your beauty woes,cosmetic catastrophes and all about that snot nose that gave you lousy customer service. I wanna hear it all. But beware if you show me yours,I'll inevitably show you mine! So be prepared to hear all about the best and the worst of my latest finds. This section isn't just a place to let your hair down it's a place where me & my crew (whichever lazy ass I can get in here) will answer refer or correct anything that we can.It's also a section that will help me to make Veritas a better product by hearing where competitors fall short I can improve my products and service.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since I am trained in all aspects of the beauty industry please feel free to question skincare,hair care,cosmetics,cosmetic surgery etc.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">if you're currently thinking Oh this is not for me,Really? It isn't? So you mean to tell me that you're currently using every single product you have ever purchased? I thought so! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm not asking you to bash any other cosmetics or hair products. I'm inviting you to assert yourselves the beauty industry is a Multi-billion dollar industry with very little accountability when a client is displeased with a product all too often it's thrown into the dungeon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> (The Dungeon is what I like to call that drawer at the base of your vanity or in your bathroom where all the unused cosmetics lie in the dark plotting against you while you secretly curse the day you bought them and the colorful salesperson that talked you into them)</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I'm asking you to tell me about that product and let's see if we can figure something out to do with it, This is not a promise that I can fix the beauty industry in a single swoop or that I can magically make shitty products better lol. But Sometimes it's as simple as a new application technique or a phrase I love is re-purposed makeup.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><u>Here are two examples:</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Clients names have been changed to protect their innocence)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">#1Manolo really wants the Veritas Browser it's an amazing brow product with a light brow powder and a dark brow powder a portable brow brush and a waterproof brow pomade and it's all that for only $37.50,But she tells me that she just bought a brow pencil for $35.00 at blank in Macy's and its sliding all over her face when she went back with it they suggested a brow powder from blank for $35.00 so she's now convinced that she loves my browser but she's already invested $70.00 in both crappy products.I ask to see the culprits and sure enough she shows me a very dark creamy brow pencil and a very light brow powder.Enter Ms.Love's re-purposing after cleaning both products off with alcohol I suggest she have a seat and we try this alleged brow pencil as an eyeliner. Well what do you know it glides on and stays in place plus its waterproof! Voila! One down and one to go brow powder is tricky it's too dark to be a bronzer too light to be a powdered liner but maybe just maybe it could be a brown eye shadow a matte brown eye shadow is pretty much a staple in every makeup case. After I showed her a contour brush and how she can apply it as a quick daily makeup color using it as a shadow. Tah Dah 2 products out of the dungeon and 2 sales at Veritas.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">#2While working at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC a client comes in to make a return I open the bag and I almost faint! It's Creme De Lamer! Anyone that walks upright will tell you that Creme De Lamer single handedly revolutionized the skincare industry by creating one moisturizer for all eye,face,throat and decolletage and at $155. a jar it put alot of cosmetic associates kids through college as well but how on earth could this woman We will refer to as Winston how could she dislike Lamer? Everyone loved that cream for goodness sake I'd have lists of clients with credit card #s attached waiting for it to come in before a shipment arrived! Sacre Bleu! Was it Armageddon? So I ask her a few questions and sure enough she hates it! So I ask her how she's applying it and here in lies the problem. This particular product was sold with a tiny little spatula.You all throw those away right? WRONG! That is the suggested amount of use. So I explained all she needed was 1/4 teaspoon of this cream on her fingertips and warm it ,once its warmed you press it into the skin this woman was using 2 tablespoons of it every time and had the cholesterol deposits under each eye to prove it.We all live happily ever after she used the rest of her cream happily and is still a client of mine til this very day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's what I mean by accountability,I like to think that all Veritas employees make a commitment to their clientele to provide them with quality service and most importantly to LISTEN! But not everyone thinks that way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So hear I am inviting you to enter at your own risk the section titled "The Beauty Betch Rants" and tell me your beauty likes/dislikes/loves. Help me to help you and to make my company the best it can be.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<u>My Love /Hate relationship with gel eyeliner...</u></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It began in the 90'sBobbi brown courted me but the jar was small,overpriced,flaked after long wear and dried out inside the pot for more than $20. I want to get at least half way through the damn jar,Then I met smash box and oh how I loved my Jet Set liner but after one or two uses it started to thicken in the pot and my line got thicker and wider as the product got thicker and the jar was half the size of Bobbi's yet cost more!,Mac tantalized me with bold brilliant colors but it dried and flaked into my eyes after an hour or two and everyone that knows me will tell ya my liners gotta hold up til at least 5am if not overnight,so with my tail between my legs I returned to smash box and had a chemist friend of mine give me a dropper of a silicone base every time I'd do my makeup I'd scoop it out onto an artists palette mix it up and get a decent line last held up fairly well.Are you thinking what I was? This is F%$king ridiculous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my infinite wisdom I have created the ultimate eyeliner and spared you all my pain, anger and cracked eyeliner shame I endured.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now follow me as I explain why its so great and what tools will get you the best results,how to apply it quick and easily, then I'll share with you how to make it last all the way to the bottom of the jar. YES I said you will see the bottom of my jar!</div>

<span style="background-color: magenta;"><u>So what makes Veritas Gel liner better than any other brand? </u></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took 6 attempts to get the formulation of this product absolutely perfect and it truly paid off since it is currently our #1 selling product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main reason it took so long was I needed it to meet the demands of pro M.U.A's yet be simple enough for every woman to enjoy the benefits and durability without taking 18months of cosmetology courses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main difference from all the other gel liners on the market is that I insist on keeping my products natural and using the finest ingredients.But what's made its so popular is that it's the first eyeliner ever that's long wearing,transfer resistant,non flaking,non drying,no smudging,safe for the inner eye (waterline),no smearing,basically I've done away with every BLACK eyeliner problem we have suffered with as long as I can remember. How? By creating a semi permanent eyeliner stain which I like to call a temporary tattoo.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: magenta;">What do you mean by temporary tattoo?</span> </h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forget your original thoughts a shiny sticker of a choo choo train or a heart your kids taking your sponge or giant wads of wet toilet paper all over your bathroom just to get some smudged up ink blot that'll ball up and peel but never really completely go away.</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Veritas redefines the idea of a temporary tattoo as an organic, opaque yet light weight stain.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">If you have ever seen anyone with tattooed eyeliner you know that after a few months it begins to fade and eventually becomes green and broadens(not so cute) so we agree that tattooing is expensive,painful,not cute and over rated.</li>
<li><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I often draw on fond personal memories when I'm creating, I remembered that my mother had used henna in her hair when I was a child and how it was a rage for a while to get henna tattoos,I also thought of the all natural vegetable dyes and food coloring my sisters and I having hot pink hands for a week after Easter (The light bulb was on) So now we're talking natural and temporary tattooish LOVEE LIKEE.</div>

<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">By using natural henna and vegetable dyes I have created a method of a mild stain liner which when applied directly to clean skin will last 3-5 days undisturbed,unless removed with a waterproof eye makeup remover wipe</li>

<span style="background-color: magenta;">How do you use a gel liner after so many years with a pencil?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't lie to my ladies it takes a little practice but I considered that in creating the formula you see formula #5 dried almost instantly the professionals loved it but my regular clients weren't thrilled especially if they were trying a cat eye or a pin up look and got there tails slightly higher or lower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A</span></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">s I said once its on IT'S ON!</span></strong> I'm talking swimming pool=ON,beach=ON,sunbathing=on, working out=ON, tanning=ON,gardening=ON,triathlon=ON,try me ladies,its not going anywhere without waterproof remover! So just for my new users (who are secretly my favorites) I created our final formula with has an additive that slows the drying time so you get a Q-tip on stand by and if your line is uneven or a Lil to thick just wet it or wrap a remover wipe around it and slim out the uneven part before its sets.</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pearl paints,Michael's,A.C.Moore or you can try professional makeup supply houses like Alcone or Makeup Forever,they're generally accompanied by a palette,I don't recommend putting Veritas gel liner on a palette (it will stain).</strong></span><br />

<h4>
<span style="background-color: magenta;">Proper Application</span></h4>
<ul>
<li><div align="left">
Make sure your eyelid is clean and dry apply your eyeshadow primer above your lid but your concealer and foundation can wait,if you are wearing eye shadow apply this prior to your liner.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Scoop out a small amount and close the jar(you can always go back for more if you run out but you won't.Now gently coat your brush tip with the gel on all sides (DO NOT SMASH YOUR BRUSH BRISTLES) down on the mixing knife,just gently roll the tip.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
If you are applying to your top lid stay as close to the lash line as possible.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
When you first touch down the brush to your eye area it's full of paint and will give you a full line so begin at the center of your eyelid and touch down gently(The harder you press the wider the line will become)</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Beginning at the center just above your pupil draw the line inwards toward your inner eye (toward nose) then dab a touch more liner on your brush tip (if needed) and beginning at the center pull upward and outwards towards your temple.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
One way to ensure that your lines end up evenly is to use the ends of your eyebrows as a landing point (don't actually draw all the way up to your brows) but do try to end your external line in harmony with the ending of your eyebrows never go past them!</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Veritas liner is safe for use on the waterline (inside the lash line)This is kind of a no brainer just swipe your brush across the inside of your eye line top and bottom</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
Now that you have you right eye done lol. Use that Q-Tip I told you to have on stand by and clean up any mishaps you may have had,If you're satisfied with your first try then just close your lid and give it a few seconds to set.To speed drying time either fan eye with your hand or hit it with a cool blow dryer. </div>

Beauty Q&A for my Twitter Friends</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear friends I'd like to thank you for all your input I hope i can answer your questions without a video aid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Question#1 from my good buddy Karen Archer-Edge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do I apply false eyelashes without blinding myself or gluing my eyes shut?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
A new type of do it yourself lashes have recently hit the market by a company called Kiss they aren't the finest quality yet they did come up with a great concept in how to apply them! They have a red string on either side & there self adhesive so you avoid the mess of applying glue to the rim of the lashes. grab the two red threads on either end & pull them taught draw them inward towards your eye there is a diagram enclosed) as you get them in place secure the inner lashed closest to your nose in place then release 1st side of thread then secure furthest away toward temple & remember to pull this side slightly up again release and allow to dry once they feel secure (15secs) simply draw one side of the thread out & away. Ta Dah! you have lashes!</div>
<div>

These exotic Lashes were designed by myself & adorned the gorgeous amber caputo for the very first Veritas Cosmetics photo shoot,So before you complain Karen be grateful I didn't ask you to wear these. Amber is a great sport these were so heavy!<br />

The finest quality lashes on the market today are naturally Veritas own private collection of lashes from natural to extravagant & long (night time functions) they come in a complete travel case w/a small glass vial of adhesive enclosed, Why a vial as opposed to the tiny tube that's all gunked up in your purse? Easy the cylinder has a plastic cap with a fine pointed stem at the end .you simply dip it into the glue & draw a line on the back of the lash! Once again begin at the center of the eye & work your way out to the farthest side,close your eye (the one you are working in lol) and press downward onto the lash line once it is adhered you are all set/ be careful to use very little glue with this technique because if you apply to much you will effectively glue your lashes together. Another great MUA trick is to grab the lashes sideways with a long tweezer. Hold the tweezer along the lash line once they are in place remove tweezer gently press and use a COOL blow dryer. now to create the illusion that they are natural use a fine black liner ( we recommend) caviar in temp tattoo gel liner and fill in the very corner inside by the waterline. I swear I shall post a video of this & tomorrow I will tackle the questions of the lovely Kathy Mcummings & more. I'm exhausted & I have to get moving xoxoxox nighty night</div>Veritas Cosmeticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08529743686501047623noreply@blogger.comBrooklyn, NY 11224, USA40.5749261 -73.985941440.5508046 -74.025423400000008 40.5990476 -73.9464594tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72167962895296033.post-55647380163553708552012-04-03T21:01:00.000-07:002012-04-03T21:01:34.350-07:00Bulletproof beauty aka Long Lasting make Up<h4 style="text-align: center;">Doesn't it seem like you makeup lasts so much longer when it's applied by a professional?~It does &here are a few of the reasons why!</h4><div><h4 style="text-align: center;">There are many factors involved in determining the lifespan of your makeup application whether it's product quality,application technique,incorrect product,skin care,brushes or maybe its temperature,humidity etc. but since I can't actually see you or look into your makeup bag I'm going to name the most common reasons & explain how professional MUA's avoid these issues.I hope this helps & if I don't solve your specific issue please feel free to comment below & I'll be happy to address it.</h4></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><u style="background-color: #fff2cc;">"Its not me it's your skincare"</u></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Common reasons your makeup isn't lasting as long as you'd like it too can include your skin condition. So before you blame your makeup & try another take a good look at your skin in the mirror when you first get out of the shower,If you have one of those magnifying mirrors this is the time to use it! (But do not go over 20x, anything close to 40x magnification will send you flying to a plastic surgeon for botox & asking the nearest contractors to sand blast the craters off your face!) we aren't meant to see our skin 40 times larger,No one but your dermatologist should have to suffer thru that. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Now notice how your skin feels to the touch,do you feel roughness in your cheeks or slickness on you nose,chin & forehead? an excess of oil in your T-Zone will make you makeup wear off around your nose,mouth,chin & forehead. if you notice yourself re-applying to your makeup in those areas to avoid shine you are most likely in need of a new cleanser &/or moisturizer. That's not to say that you want anything to strip your skin if you get a harsh cleanser you will only cause more oil production to occur so look for an oil free moisturizer & a mild foaming cleanser with no acids,no anti acne treatments & no beads,shards,nuts,seeds,pits or rocks.lol</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Do you feel like the makeup is not covering your pores anymore? If your makeup isn't going on as smoothly as it used too,It may even feel like it's dragging across your skin or that it's making your pores stand out instead of covering them.If your cheeks are rough or patchy feeling,Then you may have an accumulation of dehydrated skin. the best approach for you is going to be a Micro-dermabrasion, If you have an Esthetician in your dermatologists office or at your local salon they'll be able to quote you a price & tell you your options.If you aren't that bold Veritas does have a micro-derm in a jar just for you! At $40 for 55 ml. its a fantastic buy to achieve an amazingly fresh feeling face. I recommend that my clients remove their makeup and for the 1st application or for a very deep cleansing they should apply it to a damp or dry skin working in circular motions from the eyes outwards. But that's only for your initial application! Subsequent applications should be done to wet skin or even in the shower once a week. This will have your cosmetics staying on twice as long & will double the life of your foundation bottle.</span><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><u>"Hey Lady...What's in the bag?"</u></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Now that I've managed to blame it all on your faulty genetics instead of my products let's see what you're putting on your face?Although skincare is crucial it's also just as important that you have quality,fresh makeup.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"> A wise woman named Lis Rupert that I worked with years ago at Sak's Fifth Avenue in NY had once told me that it amazed her when she would see a client come in & complain about the price of the moisturizer while wearing $2000. shoes. I had never thought of it until she mentioned it! Shoes are on our feet,they go in the street! They go out of style & you throw them away! We only have one face forever! So keeping that in mind just remember just as your body is only as good as what you put in it (u are what u eat) Our faces only look as good as we make them look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"> I'm not saying that expensive is always better but what I am saying is just like the shoes that went out of style Makeup has an expiration date & believe me it isn't the same as it ever was.</span><span style="text-align: center;">If I had a dollar for every time someone told me their mascara wasn't lasting all day like it used to & its crumbly under their eyes I wouldn't need to win the Mega-Millions. Cosmetics lose moisture the moment they are first opened & the first thing you may notice is that they will not stay on like they used too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">Mascaras must be replaced every 3-4months! Or they will crumble on your eyes & even worse they will grow bacteria. </span><span style="text-align: center;">Eye pencils expire after a year.</span><span style="text-align: center;">Lipsticks have one of the longer shelf lives at 2yrs as does face makeup,powder,blush etc</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;">If your products are current & you are having an issue it's possible that this particular product isn't living up to your standards but don't fret because rather than throw that beautiful sable eye shadow that you just bought away maybe we can re-purpose it? I invented re-purposing cosmetics & I am an absolute genius so you must listen to me. lol.What I mean to say is maybe that shadow can be reborn as a brow powder? or you can use an edging brush & layer it on top of gel eyeliner or cream shadow for a new look. This goes the same for everything in your pouchette. How many times have you bought a lipstick & hated it at home? Why not try it as a cream blush? Speaking of cream blush why not use that cream blush as a shadow primer then layer with powder shadow & create a new color? If you've read my blogs or attended one of my classes you know that I profess "there are no hard & fast rules with makeup,keep it fun" I've gotten some really funky eyeliners out of a wine color lip liner & a bright pink shadow out of a blush. So do NOT throw away the culprit, let that product make it up to you by living out its days as something else. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><u>'We're gonna need a bigger boat"</u></span></h3></div>Although I said you don't have to follow the rules with products; You must always follow the rules with brushes! a good set of makeup brushes can last you for many years but you must take care of them (my brush care blog is coming soon) brushes are super important in a long lasting makeup application. You need to know what brushes apply creams,concealers,HD makeup & powders! NEVER use the cheap crappy brush in the compact,you'll regret it. your brushes are about to become super important because I'm going to tell you all about layering. layering is a technique in which your MUA builds your "story". Every makeup tells a story in color whether its a bridal makeup of soft pastel hues blended gently or its a pin-up makeup with a tight rigid carbon line & a supple ferocious vixen red lip. brushes are the key to achieving your story & keeping it in place. I can't give away too much about layering because I am launching a makeup instruction on which I teach you the technique so I will give you a fail safe way to keep your makeup in tact & durable for all day glamour.<br />
<br />
<br />
Begin by cleansing,toning & moisturizing your face allow your moisturizer a few seconds to absorb into your skin (this is a good time to sharpen all your pencils & plan your color story for the day) next you are going to take your clean foundation brush & your going to pump a dollap of foundation primer into your hand or onto your pallete with upward & outward strokes you are going to smooth an even thin layer onto your face avoiding your eye area next you will take your concealer & your eye cream using your concealer brush you will mix the two together. First squeeze a dot of eye cream onto the back of your hand then either rub the concealer stick onto the back of your hand or load it onto the brush now "warm" the two of them together on the back of your hand and either stipple with your ring finger or dab with your concealer brush underneath your eye ONLY where you see darkness ( no owl eyes here) s the cream absorbs the concealer will lie flat & blended to perfection around the eye. Now your primer is set & ready for your foundation application once again using a foundation brush will save you money on makeup because you aren't saturating a sponge that you're going to throw away constantly (Oh, dear Lord please tell me their throwing their sponges out after every use!)now using soft sweeping motions working from you center out apply your foundation if you are looking for a dewy effect mix it with your moisturizer as you did with the concealer & create a tinted moisturizer.Remember to use an eye shadow primer prior to apply shadow, for No smudge,no transfer eyeliner apply Veritas temporary tattoo eyeliner with a fine sable brush & allow 30 seconds to set before blinking or moving about it will last up to 3 days & is removable with waterproof makeup remover .If you love the liner you have & just want it to stay in place look for an eye shadow in a similar or matching color & using your flat liner brush(edger) gently rock the brush back & forth with the shadow over it to secure the color in place.once you have all your makeup on lightly mist your face with a setting spray. I prefer Makeup Forever's mist&fix for serious staying power & if that's not available in your area my old stand by is evian's brumisateur just make sure you are 10-12 inches away from your face or you will be effectively hosing yourself down. ;0) That's all for tonight my lovely ladies please feel free to share your questions,comments,tips & tricks with me & tell your friends to follow because it's about to "get crackin like a bad back" in here...The beauty betch is backVeritas Cosmeticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08529743686501047623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72167962895296033.post-16387609383209023192011-11-27T12:52:00.000-08:002011-11-27T12:52:09.755-08:00M.O.B.

This is an absolute must, especially if skin is oily, as makeup will slide right off your face before noon. If your skin is dehydrated, makeup will rest in fine lines, creating the illusion of premature aging and giving a powdery cake like finish. To avoid all of these issues you must have freshly cleansed and hydrated skin.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">B) As your moisturizer absorbs into the pores (that's its job) it will take the makeup with it and enhance the size of your pores. In order to avoid oily, cakey or enlarged pores, you <strong>must</strong> use a foundation primer! Of course we recommend Veritas Camera Ready in the pump (and our soon to be introduced for fall Face Base in the tube). Either of these products will create a satiny smooth surface for your makeup.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">C) When it comes to base, you can use a tinted moisturizer if you feel you have dry skin (always a plus SPF) simply to smooth any redness or unevenness you may have, or if you are afraid of oil production and concerned with a shiny T-Zone, one of our mineral wands will be more than enough coverage for a natural appearance. Also new for fall will be our pressed mineral powder foundations! Now your canvas is ready.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">D) The most critical component of the entire look is your mascara (whether or not you wear eyeliner is up to you). But you must have something on your lashes at all times or you just dont look polished.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">E) If you take notice in the above photos, Suzana chose to go with Remake gloss in peachy coral, with a slightly golden shimmer. But you can choose between a sheer raspberry (lip stains) or a girly pink lip gloss (pink rocks, girl stuff, sweetie pie) or even a bright sheer lilac (fringe or eclectic) all go nicely with the natural look.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">F) For this next step you will require a contour brush or a small blush brush for a nice bold rose color blush (not a bronzer). You will just dab the slightest bit on the apples of both cheeks. Do not blend, pull, or stroke, just a light dabbing on each cheek cream. I find that cream blushes are great for this too (look for face stains in future veritas collections).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">S</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">o there's the formula for the quickest natural makeover you can do. If you want more depth to enhance your features as you see in the photos above try either nu or transition eyeshadow in the crease, just slightly onto the brow bone and a thin line of our gel liner on just your top lid at the lash line.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">If Roxxane Rizzo's Bronze glow which I mentioned yesterday is slightly over your budget @$38, I have discovered a new product I simply adore! It's the newest edition to the old orange L'oreal Sublime Bronze which I've complained about for years. Previously, L'oreal's bronzer gave you a tan that was as orange as the can, and I must thank L'Oreal since it's strictly because of my input they've reformulated. Their new product is called Clear Self Tanning gel and it won't give you as dark of a tan as Bronze glow, but delivers a subtle yet natural shade that will have you summer ready in no time. They even changed the packaging to a deep bronze color so kudos, Loreal. J'adore! Your new shade will appear on your skin in hours & doesnt have that horrid after self- tan smell. But just to make sure you get the right one here is a photo of mine ( Oops im gonna need a new one!) This product is available at any of the usual spots that sells </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">L'Oreal products for beauty junkies like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, & other pharmacies. Selling price averages $12.00</span><br />
<br />

Perfect for 100 degree days when you dont want to be in the salon waiting to dry. Click here to locate a salon near you:get ur nails shellaced If you are in Staten Island, go directly to Allure Salon on 4011 Hylan Blvd, Suite C. I recommend calling first and asking for Marina (she is a goddess amongt manicurists and will need to be booked in advance).</span><br />

Ms. Love's pro tip? When purchasing any of the products be sure to check the percentages of pure oil in them. Argan oil is good for all hair colors, textures & ethnicities. If you recall my summer beauty tips, I told all of you ladies that color your hair as a great tip instead of using gel, masque or pomade -which are full of alcohol & will only dry your hair more on hot days- use a heavy hair masque like this one & slick your hair back tight, it will hold, heal & avoid that damn blow dryer! My hair feels great really smooth & silky. For more information about these products...http://www.dermorganic.com If you're here in my neck of the woods, Allure Salon is once again one of the few that carries this brand. Ironically Morroccan oil & argan oil are one & the same thing but the brand moroccan oil contains a very small amount of the hair healing oil itself & is made of mostly silicones (which is not a bad thing if you want temporary shine but if you want to heal ur hair you need the pure oil & Derm organic is 100% vegan & 100% pure oil. Products vary in pricing.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(<em>Of course</em> </span><a href="http://www.veritasmakeup.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Veritas</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> is superior to any and all products you've ever encountered, yet we are currently limited to cosmetics, brushes, skincare & treatments for the time being).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">The following are great & affordable products to keep your summer beauty seamless (I dare you to say that fast three times).</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Roxanne Rizzo's Bronze Glow</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvasBu_cO7O_ortyA08Qd6XOO2HdJQq-VWp-Erz0LLaYc3nInuXnrkX496KcPa9vo0NtvD99XiGcS2GncxV6ONKhuj2cu9mV2p8JL0P4pDjo-LMVAWGNTAcOYNnLd2skzFRHizfYZRk8rz/s1600/Glow.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvasBu_cO7O_ortyA08Qd6XOO2HdJQq-VWp-Erz0LLaYc3nInuXnrkX496KcPa9vo0NtvD99XiGcS2GncxV6ONKhuj2cu9mV2p8JL0P4pDjo-LMVAWGNTAcOYNnLd2skzFRHizfYZRk8rz/s400/Glow.png" t$="true" width="219" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been a faithful devotee of this product for ages and seriously? Who doesn't want to be a bronzed goddess come summer time? Roxanne Rizzo's Summer Glow is a full on spray tan without the booth or weird woman staring at you naked as you shiver when the cold orange dye hits you. This tan in a can is a true miracle, as it's not a self tanner as much as it's a body reviver. Based on natural sugar beet, this product gives you instant color and has a secret tone to its base that avoids the orange Snookie look no one wants.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Roxanne knows exactly what's needed from a spray tanner and this has a micro fine mist in a package that sprays at any angle. At $38.00, it's certainly worth the investment (plus gas and time saved). Available at <a href="http://www.roxannerizzo.com/">http://www.roxannerizzo.com/</a>. Now go and get your glow on!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Elizabeth Rose All Natural Milk & Honey Bath Soak</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFZXHo8-KSkYs_cWji0umAnXB_2az5jJG6v4_Z4heLLfEBgZd3AwhPhyphenhyphenEgqA-DGyGSXwC3ah0xCP0MZmN_-8RfaNtV0glpvogISHeNqrhRgh1A4Dh9lgGH242NtRczOfLpXMtrjiH-6yTT/s1600/Milk-Bath-lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFZXHo8-KSkYs_cWji0umAnXB_2az5jJG6v4_Z4heLLfEBgZd3AwhPhyphenhyphenEgqA-DGyGSXwC3ah0xCP0MZmN_-8RfaNtV0glpvogISHeNqrhRgh1A4Dh9lgGH242NtRczOfLpXMtrjiH-6yTT/s400/Milk-Bath-lg.jpg" t$="true" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is truly an amazing "dual purpose" product and I wouldn't say this if it wasn't true, HANDS DOWN my #1 summer pick. First, prepare a cool bath with one cup of this heavenly treat to beat the heat quickly... It's said that Cleopatra bathed in milk & honey & believe me when you smell this product you will feel like an Egyptian queen.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is one of my greatest finds at my new secret beauty location. Its luxurious soothing properties are only outdone by its scent, for it smells like a bathtub full of caramel custard. <em>Simply divine.</em></span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rose's delicious, moisturizing body soak is made up of all natural ingredients: whole milk powder, buttermilk powder, coconut milk powder, honey powder, yogurt powder, cocoa seed powder & tapioca. If that doesn't make you want to get in a tub and turn on some candles while sipping your favorite drink, I don't know what will. These powders are sold exclusively at my secret spot for all the hardest to find beauty products: Old Town Pharmacy in Staten Island. Call (718)815-2600 and enjoy true bliss. I guarantee you won't regret it.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Lobe Wonder</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKILkibvsElt61tGFZbUfbFiLXCcJ63mUSaHQWdc-EtVMv6O0trZu7sQkzGCrw9EE222RoKWGUT_Zrpo9favGIf4IiN-GjzW_bOmmDZX0aMA5hLDi2PBpiZYHBfxUwPRjzuTUU1KrE0DGA/s1600/lobewonder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKILkibvsElt61tGFZbUfbFiLXCcJ63mUSaHQWdc-EtVMv6O0trZu7sQkzGCrw9EE222RoKWGUT_Zrpo9favGIf4IiN-GjzW_bOmmDZX0aMA5hLDi2PBpiZYHBfxUwPRjzuTUU1KrE0DGA/s400/lobewonder.jpg" t$="true" width="305" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last but definite *not* least, this is a must product for any woman who likes long and gorgeous dangly/heavy earrings. I first learned of <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/lobe-wonder-support-patches-for-earrings/qxp152383?aid=336064&aparam=lobe%20wonder&scinit1=lobe%20wonder">Lobe Wonder</a> when modeling & all the girls seemed to use it. I couldn't believe someone had finally come up with the solution to a problem that had plagued me -and my girlfriends- for so long. These magical little silicone patches slip on the back of your lobe, making your earrings feel instantly lighter by distributing the weight over the whole ear & not just the hole. For torn earring holes, they hold the earring up so they dont hurt or tear at all, and at $6.00 for more than 30 sets it truly can't be beat. You can buy your own right <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/lobe-wonder-support-patches-for-earrings/qxp152383?aid=336064&aparam=lobe%20wonder&scinit1=lobe%20wonder">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">I hope you enjoyed this week's reviews and I'll be back sooner than you can say, <em>Beach time!</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Until that time, darlings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">F</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">irst things first, boys and girls! I’d like to introduce you to the lovely, witty, & oh-so-talented genius that is Annah. She is the (until now) undiscovered mega star behind the killer blog <a href="http://www.whenredmeansgo.com/">Red Means Go</a> & I’m delighted that in her spare time, she has decided to follow –and write for- my sloppy ass.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lovely Annah has begun following me around, gathering up the drizzle I leave on cocktail napkins & marble notebooks strewn across NYC, in an attempt to spin it into something legible, rebuilding my former blogs of fame into kick-ass posts made just for you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">This is just a quick hello letting you know that my posts will be updated at least once a week starting tomorrow, and I look forward to writing about make-up and beauty and anything else that tickles your fancy. With that said, feel free to email me any questions/comments at <a href="mailto:veritascosmetics@gmail.com">veritascosmetics@gmail.com</a> and I'll be sure to answer them via this forum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">I can't wait to share great products with you and kick off the fall season in nothing but class and style (what else would possibly you expect?).</span><br />

By now your wondering what's a <a href="http://www.chaata.com/">http://www.chaata.com/</a>? It's only the most brilliant social networking tool ever devised for mothers,that's all. You see founder Natalie Licini & a group of mothers got together & decided to take all that information that you can only get from other mothers & make it available free on the internet. So much like Facebook,twitter,mnyspace & blogger All mothers from all areas are welcomed to join & post freely what your experiences are. Do you have trouble getting out in the mornings? maybe someone has a tip for you? Are you looking for a sitter, new carriage,reputable pediatrician,child friendly hair salon? all this and more is available on Chaata.com in addition to member benefits! As a member you are entitled to special discounts in your area.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I found the idea fascinating and the possibilities endless. Women from all walks of life spoke, from homemakers,to publicists,salon owners & photographers. Such an exciting & informative group that I'd highly reccomend attending next years dinner to all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Veritas Cosmetics spoke about timing your morning beauty routine to make it the most effective,siting that statistically mothers of young children spend less than 6 minutes beautifying themselves in the morning & that includes their skincare regimen!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here are just a few time conserving suggestions :</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">1.Take your toothbrush & your facial cleanser in the shower with you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">2.Multi-Functional products are can be your best friends for example Cherry bomb lip & cheek stain by Veritas, it's the size of your average lipgloss tube & it's all your makeup in one! The lip,cheek & eye stain come in 2 colors ( bombs away & licorice) & the opposing end has a high shine gloss wit breath refreshing peppermint oil.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">3. Temporary -Tattoo eyeliners from Veritas available in 5 colors (caviar,mink,envy,pinot noir & platinum) the eyeliners come in a gel form in a screw top glass pot, using a fine liner brush glide liner over the tops of eyes and allow to set that's it for 3 -5 days! using your traditional remover you can remove your shadow & mascara but line will remain unless you utilize a waterprof eye make up remover on it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">4.Moisturizers with SPF in them like "Protect "from Veritas eliminate the need for a seperate sun protection during the day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">5.Every mom on the go is a fan of the pony tail, but all that gel,wax & pomade can take a toll on your hair,try usig a heavy conditioning pack (we like kerastase masquintense) and slick wet hair with a comb into your pony tail when hair dries it will hold just as though gel were in it but when you rinse your hair will feel soft & healthier)</span><br />
<br />

We encourage clients to cut out photos from magazines of looks they like but also remind them every face is different and bone structure plays a large part in the look that's right for you. You won't look exactly like Angelina if your blonde n blue eyed.Bring your makeup bag with you,allow your makeup artist to help you decide what needs to be replaced or updated and it allows them the chance to review that your utilizing your tools & makeup to their fullest potential.<br /><br />When it comes to Bridal makeup a trial is an absolute MUST;this will enable you to get a sense of how you are going to look on your big day.A great tip is to schedule your trial when you have somewhere to go or better yet on the day of your engagement photos,so you'll look perfect in both pictures.If this is not possible then be sure to take a picture of your makeup that day so you know how it will appear in photos.Wedding makeup is alot more complicated than it appears even the most flawless of skins can appear washed out in pictures if not treated properly.Even if you are not a religious makeup user or you don't like the feel of makeup.With the introduction of airbrushing and High Definition products;it's now possible to acheive perfection,without feeling, or looking like you are wearing makeup.Yet wearing the wrong makeup can be immortalized in photos eternally.Here's one simple example everyone likes a little shimmer or a sparkle on their special day yet mica & glitters reflect light in professional lenses and often cause red eye or glare in the photo. A dewy natural skin can be so beautiful on a bride yet without an HD primer dewy becomes oily under photo lamps very quickly.<br /><br />Last but not least ,take care of your skin,it;s never too late to get a skincare regimen in place.The healthier the skin is the better the makeup will appear.Remove your makeup every night.Use a good moisturizer/eye cream in the A.M & P.M. SPF is important and should be worn daily.Consult with your makeup artist for reccomendations on cleansers,moisturizers,exfoliaters & masks.<br /><br />Don't forget your makeover is a personal service,get involved,ask questions,do research,Makeup is fun and any reputable makeup artist will love to share with you their educational experiences and opinions on your individual look.It's nice to get referrals from friends but be sure whomever you choose is licensed or certified in the field.Never trust your big day to an amateur.Professionals adhere to strict sanitization standards & will be sure to acheive any look you desire.<br /><br /><br />Mary Stephens<br />Resident Educator/MakeUp Artist <br />VERITAS CosmeticsVeritas Cosmeticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08529743686501047623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72167962895296033.post-22428563394669752682010-05-15T10:49:00.000-07:002010-06-24T10:51:59.001-07:0010 secrets to summer beauty<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxPw1wH9q9wFR6uBoTQNoefUf2nNIb9WgUYicEQ_mNlbJ9WGdEDo9ZqtUhGC4OA5C68qEcOwx9XK1KW-KY7PytoDV_JdHFRnDOHsPwogb3lerg68xuNtN9RnjB1PUML2SVGCOWyJTVY7S/s1600/eye_shadow_eye.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxPw1wH9q9wFR6uBoTQNoefUf2nNIb9WgUYicEQ_mNlbJ9WGdEDo9ZqtUhGC4OA5C68qEcOwx9XK1KW-KY7PytoDV_JdHFRnDOHsPwogb3lerg68xuNtN9RnjB1PUML2SVGCOWyJTVY7S/s320/eye_shadow_eye.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486399367492285970" /></a><br />Here are just 10 amazing tricks to keep you looking cool in the heat from the Make Up Masterminds behind VERITAS COSMETICS:<br /><br />1.Try not to leave ur makeup bag/purse in the car too long even a quick run into the store can turn your favorite cocoa pencil into hot chocolate;For a quick save from a make up meltdown store ur lip and eye pencils in the freezer until they reharden,then just sharpen and Voila! good as new.<br /><br />2.To avoid Liquid lipstick... keep lipsticks in the fridge so they wont melt or smudge and their quite refreshing when applying chilled,this is especially great for lip balm in the cooler at the pool or beach.<br /><br />3.Opt for a gel eyeliner in a pot during really hot days. Ours is sweat proof,waterproof and won't melt in your purse.The consistency remains the same in all temperatures so it'll glide on easily whether it's 20 below or 200 degrees. We offer 5 shades: Caviar,Mink,Pinot Noir,Envy & Ice.<br /><br />4.Professional Make Up artists have long known the benefits of a good foundation primer,But now it's a proven fact! According to a Good Housekeeping Research Institute test, primer helped volunteers' makeup look better and hold up throughout the day (even after a sweltering stint in our 80-degree, high-humidity chamber)So never underestimate their worth especially when a client has a photo shoot or an affair, their makeup MUST stay in place.<br />If you've tried them in the past and weren't pleased,try again my friend, The new silicone based formulas are light weight and leave skin silky smooth while keep pores tight and makeup set all day.It's a MUST HAVE for all june brides and summer proms.<br /><br />5.Change your "Makeup Wardrobe" just as you would swap out your winter/summer clothes!:<br /><br />~ Lighten up your lip colors instead of using those deep sensual shades you wore in the winter, try a light colored gloss to make your tan pop or a cherry colored stain to make your smile look even brighter,Don't forget to match your liner to your new shade& remember lip liner should NEVER be more than one shade deeper than your lip shade color,I reccomend Veritas clear,waterproof lip liner in Empress for use with sheer glosses and hard to match summer colors.It will keep your lip line moist without letting your gloss bleed or lipstick wear off.<br /><br />~Keep your face feeling light & dewy by replacing your winter foundation with a light/sheer foundation with less coverage,If you don't want to buy new face makeup invest in a synthetic foundation brush,it'll give you a lighter more even application,a bare skin look,As an extra bonus you'll save makeup! it takes much less makeup to moisten a brush than it does to moisten a sponge plus its reusable (sponges are single use) and can be washed everyday!So no more buying sponges all the time.<br /><br />~Trade your black eyeliner and mascara for a lighter summer eye by replacing them with a brown mascara and either a soft "olive" green or a light brown pencil to "soften" your appearance.<br /><br />6.Always use an SPF! not just at the beach but always!Try bringing makeup remover towelettes to the beach with you,keep them in the cooler and clean SPF,Tanning Oils off your face A.S.A.P. to avoid summer break outs & clogged pores. <br /><br />7.Avoid wearing clear lip glosses to the beach,Either wear a colored gloss or an SPF balm,Clear glosses act as a super conductor for sunlight use something with pigment to lessen your exposure and keep lips supple.<br /><br />8.Apply bronzers realistically, we all like to look tan but all too often we become overzealous and can get heavy handed with the bronzing brush while forgetting the neck and decolletage, so be sure your bronzer is a realistic shade for you and focus only on areas wear the sun would hit you naturally, if your just rubbing the brush all over ur face never looks natural.<br /><br />9.It's important to stay Hydrated! Water is crucial to healthy skin,But in the event of water retention (puffiness in the eye area) a small dab of Preparation H on the puffy area will cause the tissue to shrink thus making puffiness temporarily disappear.AVOID GETTING IT IN THE EYE! it will burn like hell, remember this is just a quick fix it is not to be used to frequently nor is it in place of an eye cream.<br /><br />10.#10 is my special #,Since these are secrets from industry insiders that don't all refer to makeup.<br /><br />~ In order for models to keep their feeting from sliding in their sandals ( creating toe overhang) BLECH They swipe the soles of their feet w/deodorant befor putting on sandals<br /><br />~In a pinch if you really feel like your sweating and you don't want your makeup to run,excuse yourself to the powder room then run cold water over the insides of your wrists,Wrists are a pulse point &It'll instantly drop your body temperature by a few degrees and save your makeup.<br /><br /><br />I hope you ladies find our summer make up tips this interesting and I'd love to hear any of yours if u dont mind sharing...XOXOXOX <strong></strong>Veritas Cosmeticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08529743686501047623noreply@blogger.com0
