PUR minerals CC Cream: spring to summer makeup

Hello Gorgeous!
The BB cream has brought us a new product, the CC cream!  The PUR minerals CC Cream is color, complexion correction and a broad spectrum spf 40.

I've been using mine and love that it gives an almost full coverage makeup look, dries down to a matte like finish and is hydrating with sun protection at the same time! I'm wearing medium and it's a good match for my freckled skin.



Pur minerals is available at Ulta and online and this cc cream sells for $38.00
Now here are some details from their main website to further educate you on if this is a fit for you!

Description

Your multitasking moisturizer, brightener, primer, concealer and SPF foundation! More than just another beauty balm, CC Cream with SPF 40 protects, corrects and perfects the skin’s appearance with clinically advanced plant-based ingredients, like DERMAPUR® HP—a clarifying corrective from meadowsweet—and CLARISKIN II®—a brightening powerhouse from wheat germ. Ideal for all skin types and concerns, this silicone-free formula works to erase brown spots, blemishes and fine lines from sight while balancing uneven skin tone.

Our color complexion corrector is your all-in-one:
  • SPF 40 foundation and primer
  • Color-correcting brightener

You may be asking, why Dermelect? Here's why:
honest beauty
a message from the founder of Dermelect Cosmeceuticals- Amos Lavian I often hear women skeptically talk about their current skin care assortment- complaining about exaggerated claims and even more so exaggerated prices.  Promises not kept, sensitivity to harsh ingredients and just an overall run around of dissatisfaction that they are experiencing. We’ve listened and responded with our treatment range: Dermelect Cosmeceuticals

Shower to Shower: Island Fresh and Morning Fresh-for the Kentucky Derby humidity control



Hello Sweet Gorgeous!
Shower to Shower is such a classic product and it's recently been brought to my attention that there are so many more beauty uses for it than I previously realized.


The Kentucky Derby is this weekend and it's going to be humid at the Churchill Downs race track.
The Shower to Shower powder all over your body will be a great way to keep odor and wetness at bay.

Going forward in to the hot summer months-keep some Shower to Shower close by!


A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away. And that's not the only benefit of
SHOWER to SHOWER®. Here are some more!
  • Your body perspires in more places than just under the arms. Use
    SHOWER to SHOWER® to feel dry, fresh and comfortable throughout the day.
  • Pamper yourself with a soft touch and light fragrance.
  • No more stained clothes - powder provides invisible wetness protection.
  • With powder on, clothes glide on like a breeze and won't cling.
Get active:
Use before (or after) a workout or hitting the dance floor for a just-showered clean, fresh feeling.
Keep shoes smelling fresh:
Just sprinkle a little powder into your shoes, boots, or sneakers to help them stay fresh and keep your feet dry.
Leave sand at the beach:
Sprinkle powder generously anywhere wet sand is clinging to your skin, then simply brush the sand away!
Tame your mane:
No time to shower? Use a sprinkle of powder in your hair between washes to absorb excess oil and add a hint of fresh fragrance.
Stay cool:
When the heat of summer turns up, a sprinkle of SHOWER to SHOWER® helps to cool you down all over!
Feel smooth:
Add powder to your skin after applying lotion to quickly absorb the stickiness.
Soothe your skin:
Sprinkle on problem areas to soothe skin that has been irritated from friction. Apply after a bikini wax to help reduce irritation and discomfort.
Relax:
Lightly dust your sleepwear or sheets to make bedtime peaceful and luxurious.

Meet the Original Chicks

Meet the Original Chicks
Europe, Africa, Asia, America...we not only come from everywhere, but we are going everywhere. The world is becoming more and more diverse, and we celebrate that. Here is the unfolding story of just two of the many millions of "mixed chicks":

For years, multi-cultural people with hard to manage hair traveled from store to store, trying to blend products in a hopeless attempt to tame their locks. Wendi LEVY (left) and Kim ETHEREDGE (right), two "mixed chicks", created a product line because they needed it. Then, something happened...friends and family started encouraging them to package it, and soon they had a full blown business running out of the garage. After a little door to door hustling, a few celebrity endorsements, and a ton of online customer support, MIXED CHICKS is bringing their products to the world.



Kim ETHEREDGE (Los Angeles)
I grew up in los angeles, entertainment capital of the world. Sun, water, fun, convertibles...this is a beautiful place, but it is hard on hair. Participating in all of these everyday activities was a privilege, but try blow-drying your hair to style — now that was a nuisance, not to mention bad for my hair. In a place obsessed with looks, my life was hell. My hair is naturally curly, but I never would wear it out because I had to use too many products to get the look. I had to search from one end of the store to the other to concoct a combination for my "unruly hair." That was not only a pain, but expensive too! Lucky for me I met Wendi.

Wendi LEVY (New Jersey)
I am mixed. I have coarse, tightly curled hair on one side of the family tree and straight, limp hair on the other. Growing up on the east coast, there were black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, a puerto rican neighborhood... everything was segregated. Even the stores were segregated: black section, white section; no in between. When kim and I met we were laughing about our common problem. The idea of making our own product seemed silly at first, but two years later, MIXED CHICKS was on the map.
