Schick Hydro Silk 5 blade shaving tool: a review for you

TotalBeauty.com
7 Healthy Tips for a Happier You

Sometimes we need a breather from life's stresses. So show yourself a little TLC with these tactics for a healthier, happier you


7 Healthy Tips for a Happier You

This is a TotalBeauty.com stress and women article

It's easy to get so bogged down by life's to-dos that you forget about your own health. But fitness and lifestyle expert Tanner Martty says it's never too late to take charge of your body and mind. See his seven secrets for refreshing yourself from the inside out now.

Get rejuvenated


Hi all! I have tested my Schick Hydro Silk 5 curve sensing blade shaver and so far so good. I have two funky spots: a torn calf muscle that is healing but shaped weird and bumpy bruises on my other shin. So I figured it was as good a time as any to try the new shaver?

Plus I live in Arizona where it's been hot for a month and seriously shorts season already. I liked the shaver, found it easy to use, and bets part it has a very wide, rubber textured handle that feels solid in my hand and not slippery when using with Cremo Shave cream in the shower.

I could not really tell if the 5 blades were moving independently of themselves while shaving over my shin bump bruises or odd shaped calf muscle-but I didn't cut myself either.

So something is working right? If you are getting ready for your prom, your wedding or summer which has officially hit Arizona, maybe the Schick Hydro Silk is for you?

You can purchase at any major retailer or drugstore for about $15.00. Though I did see it on eBay for half that price and that makes me leary? Remember the Dr. Oz tip on how to make the blades last longer by drying them with a simple blast of air from your mouth or hair dryer to keep them moisture dulling rusting sooner than they should.

 Here's a bit of info from the main website: Schick Hydro Silk™ hydrates skin like no other razor can. This uniquely designed razor goes beyond an incredibly close shave to actually care for your skin. With Water-Activated Moisturizing Serum & 5 Curve-Sensing blades with skin guards to help protect skin from irritation, the Hydro Silk™ razor leaves skin feeling silky smooth! And it’s preferred over the leading 5 blade razor.

Hello Gorgeous!
It's still spring but in Arizona feels like summer? It got hot quick!
School is not out yet though it's time to start stocking up and preparing for summer picnics, hiking, travel, and in my world: trips to the waterpark which is the same as saying the daily trip to the petri dish.
I tried 3 new scents from the Bath and Body Works Pocketbac line and love the funy whimsy of the 'bee' line.

The website has a sale on mix'n'match scents $5 for 5 of your choice.
So visit the store, test some scents and then pick up 5. That's one for the purse, one for the back pack, one for the glove compartment, one for the swim/waterpark bag and one for by the bike rack area in the garage.  Or so goes in my world, how about yours? You can get Bath and Body works products at major malls and online at http://www.bathandbodyworks.com

iO Beauty eye concentrate: Sue Devitt has done it again!

7 Ways Makeup Labels Are Fooling You

Newsflash: Not all makeup labels are telling you the truth. Find out what lies to watch out for now


7 Ways Makeup Labels Are Fooling You

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article

They're all over our beauty products: "Oil free! 100 Percent Natural! Long-lasting!" How true are the claims that so many companies stamp on their bottles? To find out, our experts fill us in on the most misleading marketing lingo printed on the packaging -- and what to look for instead. Here's their shocking list of the top 7 makeup label lies.

See them now


Hello Gorgeous!

Sue Devitt, celebrity makeup artist and amazing human being has created a line of skin care to compliment her line of cosmetics. I've been testing and enjoying my sample of the iO Beauty eye concentrate.

It is so light on the skin and absorbs quickly while plumping fine lines. I wear it underneath my concealer and foundation and it is smooth with fast hydration to the eye skin.

Now you see the purple bottle? I have not tried that yet-but everything I read about on the ioBeauty website says that this is the fountain of youth in a bottle. That it is both a treatment on top of the skin and a treatment for the inside; like a liquid vitamin to be applied as well as ingested. Stay tuned for details on that. In the meantime-please visit the website and watch the short videos with Sue and Tanya the nutritionist who helped develop iOBeauty!

10 Quick Ways to Burn Calories While You Sit

Who really has the time to blast calories after a long day at work? Not us! Here's how to lose weight while sitting down


10 Quick Ways to Burn Calories While You Sit

This is a TotalBeauty.com workouts for women article

No matter what your day-to-day is like, you probably spend a little -- OK, maybe a lot -- of time on your behind. Add that to a busy schedule with no space for gym visits and you've got a recipe for health disaster. Break the cycle with these 10 surprising tricks that'll help you burn calories while sitting (yes, sitting).

Burn calories


Hello Gorgeous! I recently tried Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic Wand made with Propolis and Honey. It's an 'All in One lip and Face Balm'. 
Every ingredient in the very short list is organic. And my favorite part is that there is a wee part on the label that says 'batch'-and then there is a date. I love an expiration date on a product!
I have used my Bee Magic Wand primarily on my lips and fingernail cuticles. It's the lightest and slippery feel and absorbs into the skin. There is a very faint scent and no taste that I can taste. The label also mentions that it makes a great travel companion and I agree. This is a lip balm/lotion all in one. I think the only way to improve on this product would be to add a sunscreen. I'm in Arizona and it's hot already-so I'm keeping my stick with me and in the a/c so it doesn't melt and run out!
Get your own hand crafted Medicine Mammas Sweet Bee Magic Wand on the website here or at Sprouts in my Mesa neighborhood.

Hello Gorgeous! I am using my tea tree oil foaming soap sample from Vermont Organics-I love it! You can see the photo of it below-but what I really think I need to try is the Funga Soap and have it on hand for the upcoming summer swimming pool and waterpark trips. My family goes all the time in the summer to the water park and yes, we wear a water shoe-but I'm still grossed out and think there needs to be a higher level of sanitation. Just my opinion.
Now onto the Vermont Soap Organics foaming hand soap-it's just luxurious foaming hand soap that is made with organic oils. Instead of Earth Day being just a day-why not represent the consciousness everyday?
I have a link for the foaming soaps-but the main Vermont Soap Organics website has so many wonderful soaps to choose from-and in bulk even! www.vermontsoap.com

Hello Gorgeous!
This look by Laura Mercier is so beautiful!
It's perfect for an Arizona prom or a spring bride! Enjoy the beauty lesson and get your favorite Laura Mercier products at Nordstroms or online at www.lauramercier.com

INSPIRATION For the Marchesa Bridal Spring 2013 Runway Show, Talia Shobrook, lead makeup artist for the show, was inspired by the fashionable and fresh Marchesa bride-to-be. The makeup look she created was whimsical and effervescent.

By carefully selecting a palette of warm and diffused colours, she was able to develop the natural flush that people love for brides, evoking a woman that is both innocent and sensual.

 FACE: According to Shobrook, “flawless skin with a fresh and dewy finish was the foundation of the look.” · First, Talia mixed Laura Mercier Mega-Moisturizer Crème SPF 15 with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Radiance to add a subtle glow to the skin. · She then covered under eye circles with Laura Mercier Secret Concealer and covered any spots or redness with Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage. ·

 Next, she applied Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation to the face. · Lastly, she used Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder in the T-zone, for control shine, leaving the rest of the skin dewy and fresh. EYES: According to Shobrook, “we chose to highlight the eye, to add to the allure that a bride’s sparkling eyes have on her wedding day.” ·

 First, Talia mixed Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colours Stellar and Primrose and applied them on the lid from lashline to the crease. · Next, she softly contoured the crease with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Fresco. ·

Using Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Ballet Pink, she dipped a Laura Mercier Fine Point Eye Liner Brush into water and swirled around the Eye Colour to pick up the product, then drew a line across the lashline, with a slight flick at the outer corner. The eyeliner should be thin, and bright. ·

On the lower lashline, she used a Laura Mercier Flat Eye Liner Brush to apply Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Truffle just at the lashline and blended slightly to soften. · Lastly, she finished with a layer of Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara and another layer of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara to the lashes in the center of the eye.

 LIPS & CHEEKS: “By using the same product on the eyes and lips, we allow the fresh-faced bride to only have to carry one product for touch-ups. The creamy formula adds a lovely natural flush to the face,” Shobrook concluded. ·

 On the cheeks, Talia applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Mango (NEW, launching September 2012) to the apples of the cheeks and blended to give a natural flush in the face. The result is a creamy smooth natural cheek color. ·

 The look was finished with the punchy Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Mango (NEW, launching September 2012) blended onto the lips as well.

Oh! If only there was a closer photo! I have a large sea scape detailed shadow on my eye with the base being the Lagoon shadow from Laura Mercier and my lips and cheeks are Laura Mercier Bronze Veil with Laura Mercier Honey Mocha over it for cheek apply pop and some Laura Mericer Seashell Pink on the lid to pop a bit while the Lagoon worked it on the outside corner of the eye and contour.

Oh the Laura Mercier collection of singles that can be popped into a handy pallete with large mirror-sweet!- That is if the video made the grade and I did not accidentely drop it.

For the record, I have NEVER, EVER lost a video until today. This time. Is the last time. I am. So sick!

AZ prom need makeup? Try Vincent Longo water canvass

Hello sweet gorgeous!
You look amazing today!
Are you getting ready for prom?

Pictures-just remember, these pictures are the ones that last as long, if not longer than your wedding photos. So please, take a moment and plan your prom makeup and pick a foundation that is going to be as flattering as possible for as long as possible.

Now I do have a short video below demonstrating the Vincent Longo Water Canvas primer and foundation as well as powder-but, the next couple of videos after it on YouTube have the same foundation on-and remember, I did not touch up between takes!

So-here's what you need to know, the Vincent Longo brand is a professional makeup artist line that can be purchased at Sephora. If you don't know what shade to get or color to go with your prom dress, just ask a saleslady because in Sephora, all the sales ladies are actually makeup artists and they don't work on the same commission structure as say, Dillards.

Now, full list of products used below-and remember, this prom moment is an investment for a night that will last a lifetime and the makeup you buy for this even will carry you over the summer and you can fill in trendy looks with drugstore brands. So go ahead-invest in great foundation!
Day 9 of 50 Days Counting the Omer
by Chuck Pierce on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 7:58am ·



In the video I am wearing:
Vincent Longo water canvas primer
Vincent Longo Water Canvas creme to powder foundation in #6 warm beige
Vincent Longo Velour Pressed Powder warm #4 ( crazy amazing!)
Vincent Longo Timeless trio eyeshadow
Manna Cosmetics Unsung blush
Vincent Longo Perfect Shine lipgloss in Costa Fiore
Mascara: Avon Super Shock Max in black

You can find Vincent Longo at Sephora ( they are my favorite) or Nordstroms or online. Good luck!

If you need a Mesa Arizona ( Tempe/Scottsdale/Gilbert/Chandler) prom makeup application appointment (**if you need hair say so!) contact me quickly because the last 2 proms are filling up!

If you need a referral in your area just ask!

L'Occitane Brightening Essence and Pivoine Delicate: perfect for prom in Mesa Arizona or your town!

TotalBeauty.com
10 Biggest Hair Myths

Want the whole truth about hair care? Our experts break down the widely-accepted misconceptions here


10 Biggest Hair Myths

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair care products article

We've all grown up believing a myth or two. (Who wouldn't want to believe a fairy pays for our teeth?) But there are a few hair legends -- like you shouldn't use a brush on wet hair -- that you may not have known were myths to begin with! Find out the truth from our experts' list of the 10 biggest hair myths now.

Debunk hair myths


Hello Gorgeous!
Getting ready for prom in Arizona? Or are you starting to look for a present for your Mom for Mother's Day?

Personally-I love the thick rich cremes of L'Occitane, but there is so much more to the line!

For instance, this product you see to the left-I've been using it on my hands and face to lighten sun damage-and overall, it's adding a light luminosity to my skin.

Here's a bit from the website:

"Immortelle Brightening Essence is a serum that corrects wrinkles, evens skin tone and brightens the complexion. Its aqueous texture enhances the penetration of Immortelle essential oil, which stimulates collagen production and fills wrinkles.*

The concentrated formula of the Brightening Essence also offers:
- Bellis Perennis extract and a Vitamin C derivative to diminish age spots and give skin a youthful glow
- Garden Nasturtium extract to increase the skin’s natural ability to reflect light..." read more on the L'Occitane website!

Now-another reason to go to the website is to play with the makeup tool in the Pivoine Delicate page where you can try on several looks and mix and match hair color, eye color and the shades from the makeup.

I received a sample of the L'Occitane Pivoine Delicate lipstick and the color is called #2. It's the most sheer pink and so 'ballerina' like-exactly the idea and feel behind the line. See so for yourself in the video!

Dear Gorgeous,
Tis a sad day around here at Makeup University.
I was out at the Urban Art III shop on Main St. in Mesa Arizona to do a PSA for the upcoming AZ Tattoo Expo.

Shop owner Sage O'Connell was not able to make it at the last minute to record a service announcement about all the exciting events going on.

So this fine gentleman from Hesperia California who is a guest artist at the shop and attending the AZ Tattoo Expo stepped up and in to fill Sage's video shoes.

Big Gus volunteered to help me with the video and he also designed the collectible tshirt that is sold at the expo. Be sure and buy your expo tshirt first thing because they sell out fast!

Now, here's the reason for tears: Big Gus was busy and just had moments in between clients. We rehearsed once and then recorded one take. That's all it took! Gold in the can on the first take.

I have NEVER lost footage in my camera. Ever. Until today. That wee 60 second clip full of pure comedic gold is gone. I do not know how-but it happened. The original file got deleted on accident some how and the recycle bin was not enable on the camera so delete means delete!

All I have from today is this one photo because it was taken by accident.

So-take my word for it, visit http://www.aztattooexpo.com to buy your ticket online, get directions, find out where to park, look up the artists you want to book ink with and then wash your car and get ready to have some pin striping applied by master striper Bug of Bugs Auto Art.

Hello Gorgeous!
In Arizona, it's hot-and prom season.
Or job interview season.
Maybe even just got a new tank top season?

No matter what the situation is-ladies
I think I have found a pair of products
that truly need to be in your wardrobe.

The products have been renamed from Miss Oops to Johnny on the Spot.



The first need to have is "Silicone Nipple Covers" and the second is "Double Sided Apparel Tape".
You need the nipple covers because at some point you may feel nervous or cold-perhaps intrigued and your shirt will show it-unless you are wearing Johnny on the Spot silicone nipple covers. I tried it, and it's fairly comfortable. Now, I do need to test this in the 110 degree July weather of Arizona before giving a 100% thumbs up on comfort.

The second product you need that has been on every set in the wardrobe department that I have worked on is double sided apparel tape to keep the buttons taped shut so you can't see into your shirt or your bra strap stuck to your tank top so the spaghetti strap doesn't slip down!
Both of these items are worth it-and under $20-so order some now! I only found one store in my area-which really isn't my area-that carries it. Enjoy the video!
