What was the Megan Trainor Untouchable Tour concert like?

Hi ya Gorgeous!

I am home again, home again jiggety jig! That was a whirlwind week to San Diego Comicon and then to Phoenix for the Meghan Trainor Untouchable Tour concert and now full circle to home.


 I'm all tuckered out!

I have some photos and a video recapping the event for you though I can pretty much sum it up in one work: AWESOME.

I'm a fan of Ms Trainor's positive encouraging message and tongue in cheek humor in her lyrics. She was an absolute delight to meet and showed kindness and care for her fans.

(Tampax And Always Radiant Collection had a wee "bedroom" set up with a selfie booth and samples)


Where's the photos from the meet'n'greet? Oh, that will be two weeks in the making. That is the only bummer, that I was not allowed to use my phone for a selfie or my camera for a photo. The Live Nation concert staff took a photo and it will be posted on their webpage for me to go find in two weeks.

(Backstage at Comerica en route to meet Meghan Trainor)


Obviously, Live Nation knows nothing about the immediacy of social media.

(During the concert, Meghan Trainor had the BEST wardrobe and several changes - so Vegas! So good!)


No worries, I have plenty of other photos to share. Enjoy the video!



Hailee Steinfeld opened up and was a fun, spunky, encouraging new artist...

 Now, most of the audience were young girls- would be nice if she did not drop the F bomb during her performance.

This young man, @JonRenner got to busk in the main hall of Comerica - pretty good gig!

Ok Gorgeous,back to the good stuff and getting your BTS (Back to School) stories up!

P.S. NOTE: Major sorries for getting the hashtag and tour name wrong in the video!

Skyy Hadley & Lauren B Beauty healthy nail polish take your summer mani/pedi up a notch!

Hi ya Gorgeous,
I'm busy at the San Diego Comicon with this that and the other ...in the meantime, please enjoy this mani/pedicure details with Skyy Hadley and Lauren B Beauty ( love their healthy polishes!)!

Summer time means mani/pedi time, right?! There are endless options for finding the perfect color combo, and these recommendations from Skyy Hadley and Lauren B. of Lauren B. Beauty will help steer you in the right direction for picking the best mani/pedi shades this summer!
 
·         Skyy Hadley recommends finding colors with undertones that compliment each other. Her favorite combinations for the best summer mani/pedi are:
o   Coral and taupe – this combination bounces off of any sun-tanned skin, whether bronze, brown or lightly tanned. This combination also doesn’t get dried out or look ashy after the 3rd or 4th day like many mixtures often tend to do. The coral is a summer staple and will bring you to a beachy, tropical island.
o   Flat gray with a shimmery gray – this understated, neutral combination gives just the right amount of sparkle and flash.
o   Emerald green with shimmery gold gives you a rich, sultry look with a hint of shine. This color combination is unexpected for summer but looks elegant and fun at the same time.
o   Vibrant hot pink and softer, sparkling pink – These colors will pop against any skin tone for a fun night out/party look for summer. This punchy color combo gives the ultimate summer vibe and defines girly glitz.
o   A warm milky brown contrasted with an orange-gold hue is the perfect combination for hot summer days to take you from the office to a night out. These shades play off sparkling sand or a beautiful summer sunset. The sun-kissed corporate mixture is flattering on all skin tones. 
 
·         Lauren B. loves minimalistic nail designs, including color blocking, cut outs, geometric shapes, and even modern studding to create a modern twist on your manicure or pedicure. Blending neutrals with brighter pops of color allow for unique and fun combinations. Lauren B. recommends:

Summer Hair 101: half french braid half ponytail with Tresemme

Hi ya Gorgeous!

This summer season is hot. Hot! Hot! Hotter than I expected! I am in San Diego and it's as hot as at home in Arizona!

So this Tresemme style is not new, but a refreshing to see an old style from 20 years ago come back around!

Wear this half up french braid and half pony for a fresh take on hot, humid summer weather!

Follow John D.’s tips to re-create this look:

2.     Blow dry hair using a diffuser to create a soft bend in the hair.
3.     Once dry, pull hair back away from face and French braid hair starting at the top. Continue braiding to the nape of the neck, then fasten with an elastic to create a low ponytail. 
4.     Define waves in the ponytail by using a flat iron and bending sections into S-waves for added volume.
5.     Complete the look and tame flyaways spritz style all over using TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray

How to get sideswept braids and summer hairstyles with Tresemme

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Today I'm completing the mammoth task of packing for San Diego Comicon.
Enjoy this summer hair tutorial from Tresemme!  Next stop...the beach!




Side Swept Braid:
1.     Evenly distribute TRESemmé TRES Two Climate Protection Mousse through damp hair from roots to ends, then rough dry using a paddle brush.
2.     Using a medium-size curling iron create loose waves at random until all hair is curled. Lightly tease at the roots for added volume.
3.     Separate hair into a deep side part, then pull all loose strands to the side away from the part. Create a 3-strand braid and secure with an elastic.
TIP: For the desired effortless look, be sure to not pull the hair too tight while braiding! 
4.     Complete the look by spritzing with TRESemmé TRES Two Climate Protection Hairspray.

Undone Waves with Embellished Accent Braid:
1.     Evenly distribute TRESemmé TRES Two Climate Protection Mousse through damp hair from roots to ends, then rough dry using a paddle brush.
2.     Using a medium-size curling iron create loose waves at random until all hair is curled. Lightly tease at the roots for added volume.
3.     Separate hair into a side part. Starting at the hairline of the smaller section create a Dutch braid that follows the hairline, behind the ear to the nape of the neck, then continue the braid through the ends.
4.     Finish the look by spritzing with TRESemmé TRES Two Climate Protection Hairspray.
5.     Embellish the braid using hair ring for added flare.

Fragrance Face Off: Versace Crystal Noir vs Miami Glow by JLO

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Caturday!

Today I have a blog post with a video for you on one of my favorite subjects...fragrance!


I absolutely love fragrance and I think that perfume is the best accessory!

Makeup University received two fragrance samples, Miami Glow by JLO and Versace Crystal Noir.

I really like both scents, though I love the Versace Crystal Noir.

Details on Versace Crystal Noir: According to Donatella Versace, Crystal Noir is a rare essence, sensual and delicate. The central note of the composition is mysterious gardenia, fresh, sensual, luminous and creamy, reproduced by 'headspace' technology,. Amber and musk in the base make the scent dark and mysterious, very sensual and distinct. The fragrance was created by Antoine Lie in 2004.
( I can hardly believe this fragrance is ten years old? About $40 online)


Notes on Miami Glow by JLO
Miami Glow creators drew their inspiration from the enormous success of its forerunner, Glow. This perfume is ment for very young women. Miami Glow is the soul of this city with its palm trees, beaches, parties, freedom and passion. Jennifer Lopez says that beside her home town, New York, Miami is her favorite city in the world. It starts with lush and juicy notes of pink grapefruit, coconut water, passionfruit and blackcurrant. The heart is a blend of orange blossom, helitrope and cyclamen. The drydown is sensual and sunny in a sensual vanilla, musks, blond woods and amber vail. Miami Glow was launched in 2005. The nose behind this fragrance is Caroline Sabas.

(This is about $20 at retailers)

I got my fragrance notes from Fragrantica.com

Enjoy what's left of summer!
BTS is upon us...

5 Foods to Defy Post-Flight Dehydration

Hi ya Gorgeous!
TGiF!

These are some tips to help you with your summer travel - take care of you!


It’s officially high summer and people are taking to the skies for vacation and business travel. You know the drill. You’re given some peanuts, the drink cart makes a couple of rounds and before you know it it’s wheels down. You're regretting not drinking more water during the flight and feel your skin tight. However, drinking water on a longer flight is a double-edged sword, if you don’t your entire epidermis dries up; if you do your lower body retains the liquid. So how can you fly without the ankle swell or the skin dehydration?

Dr. Christopher Calapai DO, an anti-aging and stem cell expert and long time health advisor to the New York Rangers hockey team, tells us how to fight the dryness with foods.

1.    Watermelon
“Watermelon is one of the most hydrating foods there are,” says Dr. Calapai “Its a great alternative to plane snacks which have large amounts of sodium, which in turn make you more dehydrated.” Pack big thick slices in a large plastic baggie and take them in your handbag, they won’t be taken away at TSA and will help you avoid the salty peanuts. 

2.    Cucumbers
“Cucumbers are about 96 percent water,” says Calapai “They also contain no saturated fat or cholesterol and are high in Vitamin B6 which helps in the production of serotonin which is the brain chemical that controls mood.” You can slice them or cube them and also bring them along in a baggie or small container. Try making small cucumber-watermelon bites, they are pretty delicious!

3.    Strawberries
When the airplane cookies come around say no thanks and reach for some strawberries instead! “Strawberries have the highest water content of any berry, 92 percent to be exact,” shares Calapai “You can enjoy the tart-sweet flavor without consuming too much sugar.”  

4.    All in one salad
If you’re the type that needs an actual meal to feel satisfied bring along a salad. Add tomatoes, juicy chicken, plenty of lettuce and goat cheese. Lettuce is 96 percent water and tomatoes are 94 percent water. Go easy on the salt when seasoning your chicken and grill it or steam it instead of frying it to retain moisture. Make up for flavor and texture with some goat cheese! All the ingredients stay good at room temperature most of the day and there’s no heating required when it’s time for lunch/dinner. 

5.    Coconut Water
Ok so you can’t totally avoid drinking liquids! “Coconut water is low in calories and high in naturally occurring hydration replenishing electrolytes, which regular water does not contain. It’s a better option than sports drinks which have artificial flavors and more calories,” advises Dr. Calapai. After you’re past security grab a bottle of coconut water from any of the airport mini-marts.

Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O. is an Osteopathic Physician board certified in family medicine, and anti-aging medicine. Proclaimed as the "The Stem Cell Guru" by the New York Daily News, Dr. Calapai is a leader in the field of stem cell therapy in the U.S. His stem cell treatments have achieved remarkable results in clinical trials on patients with conditions as varied as Alzheimer's, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, frailty syndrome, heart, kidney and liver failure, lupus, MS and Parkinson's. He has worked with Mike TysonMickey Rourke, Steven Seagal, and Fox series Gotham's, Donal Logue; he was a medical consultant for the New York Rangers.

Brow Wars: Rimmel London Brow This Way vs NYC Lovatics by Demi

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
Have I mentioned how much I love a Monday? I get  so much accomplished on a Monday.

Here in Arizona, we are beginning BTS. Yes, BTS.
Back to School season is upon us, and it's time to start thinking about school supplies, and getting a great school ready look on a budget.

Brows are still all the rage and talk - so meet these two amazing products from the drugstore that are slaying the brow game.

Rimmel London Brow This Way and NYC Lovatics by Demi.


 These are both well under $10 and comes in several shades and are available at drugstores nationwide and online.

So for the beauty lover in your life who is getting ready to go back to school, this is it!
I think the Rimmel London Brow This Way leans more to the gal who does a big brow look and wears more makeup. The NYC Lovatics by Demi is perfect for the beginnng beauty user and who is wearing a lighter, more athletic look.

Cosmetic Procedures: Which To Do, Which To Skip : Guest Post with Dr. Papantoniou

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Today I have a guest blog post for you - personally, I've been thinking about getting botox in my forehead and maybe doing a lip injection?

Still thinking on that. Now, here is an expert opinion from Dr. Papantoniou!




Every single one of us, though #flawless, has at some point taken a look in the mirror and found at least one thing we’d like to change. Some of us learn to love the quirks in our looks and some of us think about getting a little fix. From the non-invasive to the surgical, cosmetic procedures are on the rise and there are a hundred ways to nip, tuck, lift and smooth just about any area of our bodies. Not all of it is vain and superficial. Some procedures have amazingly high satisfaction ratings; patients report not just looking better but feeling way more confident. According to the experts, these are the nips and tucks that are worth it and the ones you should skip:

Worth it: Breast Reduction
“By far, breast reductions produce the happiest post-op patients,” says New Bern, North Carolina board certified plastic surgeon and best selling author Dr. John Zannis, “The women (and sometimes men) that come to me for this procedure have usually been uncomfortable with the size of their breasts for years, in many cases since early puberty. You can really see an immediate boost to their confidence.” Overly large breasts have uncomfortable physical effects like chronic back pain and bad posture, but they can also become a huge self-esteem complex, especially for girls. Breast reduction surgeries report an extremely high satisfaction rate of almost 90% according to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Magazine.

Skip: Lip Fillers
Lip fillers can work wonders but they’re tricky. They don’t look the same on everyone; your end result could be Kylie Jenner’s lipstick-empire-building pout or Donatella Versace’s trout mouth. They’re more of a toss up and depend on too many variables, from the natural curve of your lips to the skill of your doctor to the type of filler used.

Worth it: Non-Invasive Face Lifts
“Off the top of my head some of my happiest clients are non-invasive face lift patients,” says Dr. Kally Papantoniou, a board certified dermatologist who specializes in surgical and medical skin procedures at her New York office. “The skin on the neck and chin get a substantial lift and smooth with no cutting or general anesthetics, patients report not only looking younger but constantly say they feel better about themselves. Which is the key word I look for when gauging post-recovery satisfaction!”

Worth it: Rhinoplasty
“A rhinoplasty from a skilled plastic surgeon can completely change a face,” says Zannis. He adds, “The nose is the most protruding facial feature and sits right in the center; any sort of change alters how you look from different angles, how light and shadows hit you and can make the face look more symmetrical.” To become a full believer in the power of rhinoplasty just search “Bella Hadid before and after nose job” on Google. Literally a different person. 

Skip: Cheek Implants
Cheeks have a very prominent position in your face. Like tweaking your nose, tweaking the shape and size of your cheeks changes your whole look, but like any other facial implant or filler; they are not one size fits all. In older individuals cheek implants are just as likely to drag your skin down as smooth it. Good results depend on implant type, technique, original face shape, and considering the natural effects of aging in the future.  

Worth it: Body Contouring
“Body contouring is easily one of my top three highest patient satisfaction procedures” says Dr. Papantoniou who provides the procedure at her practice. “These are non-invasive fat loss techniques and they give truly amazing results after about 3 months of treatments. There is no downtime, no pain. Some patients come in for them during long lunch breaks! Patients lose whole inches. Again, the most telling sign is how they stress feeling good after the procedure.”

Meet AlureVe and Jennifer Christensen

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
This summer I have been finding new skincare products to try that range in prices from drugstore to department store so I can have a fresh crop of recommendations come BTS and Fall (for those without kids, BTS is back to school)

I've come across AlureVe and so far so good. Meet Jennifer Christensen and the opportunity she has in health, wellness and great skin!

Are you looking to eliminate aging and wrinkles, or want the smoothest skin you’ve ever known? AlureVé skincare is for you and is something you’ve never experienced before.

Designed using delivery systems and formulation methods born in the pharmaceutical industry; then applied to over-the-counter skin care, AlureVé offers you unmatched skin care products and benefits never before available to the public.

Because our 3 products use time released nano-sized ingredients, 100% cold processing for potency, and natural, pure ingredients, we can prove AlureVé makes skin behave more like young skin—down to the cellular level—quick healing and DNA repair.

Thank you!

Teabook for summer leisure and back to school!


 Hi ya Gorgeous!
 Recently, I was able to try this new kind of tea product from a startup called Teabook.





 They have high quality teas from traditional tea-growing regions that ship in these little pre-portioned sealed packets along with a beautiful double-walled glass filtering tumbler.


If you’re used to teabags, this is quite a wake-up call. The teas are additive-free; strong and crisp but never overpowering. It’s a fun mystery receiving these little tea packets each month. There’s 4 varieties: red (black), green, white, and oolong, as well as one premium mystery variety, which all change by what’s in season.

All in all, I would highly recommend as an alternative to that morning cup of joe for those who prefer a less acidic and greater variety of caffeine in the morning!
Get yours today at

p.s. This is so perfect for high school teenagers and college students who need to save money on a morning starbucks run! Healthier too!
