7th Heaven masks (formally Montagne Jeunnesse) for travel skincare

Hello Gorgeous,
 I'm in Las Vegas and have my single use masks with me from 7th Heaven. This brand used to be called Montagne Jeunesse but changed their name due to challenges with people being able to pronounce it!

 I love the Argan Oil mud mask and have it on hand to help deep clean last nights concert makeup and prep my skin for tonight's show. 

Embrace the natural joy of Moroccan Argan Oil coupled with antioxidant rich Acai Berries. This power duo join forces in this face mask to deeply cleanse pores, balance oil levels and bring tired skin back to life.

 The Tea Tree oil, I was skeptical to try because I do not like peel off masks because they tend to leave behind little sticky bits that don't exactly peel off easily...but, this 7th Heaven mask did.

Get in the T-Zone and target problem areas with this super soothing peel off mask. Tea Tree, Witch Hazel & Canadian Willowherb come together to calm and clean up impurities.
 

 In closing, I used, I like, and these are perfect for travel and TSA sized just right and can be found at mass retailers everywhere! So get some because they are super affordable at just about a $1!

Happy Labor Day

Hello Gorgeous,
Take the day off! Muah!

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Labor Day Legislation

Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887.

During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

2 pm Periscope & healing the skin from the inside & outside

Holla Beauty!
I'm in Vegas-though I will still be doing the Periscope (@Cherelynn) miracle prayer meeting at 2 pm MST.
Tune in! Post your prayer requests! It's my pleasure to pray for you!

All the travel and different climates I am in can take a toll on my skin. But I need to be refreshed and camera ready most days. So these are two things I am testing now to see about looking "refreshed" when I feel deflated!

 

 I'm trying the Gold Collagen drink which says: "skincare starts with a sip". I agree with that. It's a bit tangy, but definitely tasty. You can find it at Ulta stores or online.

Designed for women wishing to promote beautiful skin and fight the visible signs of ageing. Containing a unique blend of collagen and active ingredients, it nourishes you from the inside, promoting a beautiful and younger looking you on the outside.

• Helps increase skin hydration and radiance
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Promotes skin suppleness
• Promotes healthy looking hair and nails

For me, so far so good!

I also like to treat the outside of my skin so it doesn't appear alligator'ish or crepey. Since I love fragrance, I like to use an unscented lotion.

This Curel Fragrance Free lotion has a lil bit more scent than I thought a unscented lotion would have. I know it's good for post-tattoo care and very dry skin. I  like it and use it and have traveled this bottle to Vegas with me. Remember, Vegas is a high desert-meaning it's very dry! 

• Formulated with time-released moisturizers to relieve and hydrate dry skin, leaving skin smooth and intensely satisfied for 24 hours
• Preferred by consumers who desire a lotion without fragrance
• Leaves skin smooth and intensely satisfied for 24 hours

Find your favorite Curel products at mass retailers everywhere or online at Amazon.

What are you doing for Labor Day Weekend? Whatever your plans, I sure hope you have a safe, memory making time! Wear sunscreen!

Labor Day Weekend travel skincare with Burt's Bees Intense Hydration day cream

Hello September and gel polish manicure tips for your Labor Day Weekend

Holla Gorgeous!
Happy September!
 Rosh Hashanna is in a few weeks and  I feel such an excitement in my Spirit! Woo hoo!
Speaking of excitement, I'm getting ready for a gig in Vegas followed by the Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers concert.

I've got a lot to do, in a little amount of time, with virtually a half hour break in between one gig to the other-no time for touch ups! So I will be wearing a gel manicure for the week.

To start with I'm using the new Orly Epix in Cameo available at Beauty Brands.

 It's a gel polish that you apply and then seal with a special top coat to make it wear longer. I have applied on a Sunday...and fully expect this to last til the following Sunday!

 In this photo, the index finger has two coats of the Orly Epix gel polish and the middle finger only has one. In my opinion, there is no getting away with one coat here, it really needs two!

Something you need to know about gel manicures, there is something to putting them on that is needed: time. This is not quick. Each coat needs about 3-4 minutes to dry and "cure". Then the top coat needs to really set up, and in my experience, about 10 minutes. So a simple nail polish session is a full 30 minutes.

I also think the time is worth it!

Now, below I have some professional nail tips on how to remove the gel polish remover because to save the nail bed and not rip the top layer of the nail off, take your time removing just like you took your time applying.

If you haven't tried a gel manicure yet, it's worth wearing for when you need the manicure to last and look good! I only wear them when I need my nails to be polish perfect for days on end.

So, getting the manicure on is not the problem. Getting it off safely is!

Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Salon provides tips and a step-by-step tutorial to safely remove your own gel manicure:

·           File – Use an emery board to lightly buff each nail to remove the shiny top coat so you’re left with a powdery finish. Be careful not to over buff so you don’t hit your natural nail underneath the gel.

·           Soak – Next you must soak your nails in 100% acetone polish remover. To do this, take a piece of cotton ball the size of your nail and pour the acetone on it, place it on your nail and cover your nail with a piece of aluminum foil or tape to keep it in place. Do this on every nail and let soak for 15 minutes to relax the gel.

·           Remove – Remove the cotton pieces from your nails and take a wooden cuticle stick to push the gel polish off your nails. If you have trouble, instead of forcing it, soak your nails with a cotton ball for 5 more minutes and try again.

·           Moisturize – After the gel has been removed, wash your hands and apply a cuticle oil to the nail and cuticle. This will rehydrate your nails after using acetone on them to keep them strong and healthy between polishes.

It’s important to take your time when removing a gel manicure yourself as it can be a slow process and you want to treat your nails very delicately and carefully to avoid weakening them.

TGIF with Tammie Fender body lotion & H2O+ eye stick: the secrets to road trips

TGIF Gorgeous!

We are en route home from Santa Monica. Such a great week and so much accomplished! It feels great. I'll have posts up next week with pictures from the Ipsy OS recroding, the La Brea Tar Pits, Legoland, and the Ipsy event with NYX Cosmetics.

Now, these are two products that I traveled with this week and for a reason! First, I think when a person looks tired, the fastest way to look refreshed is to add a plumping and moisturizing eye cream. Second, the aromatherapy effect of the tangerine in the body lotion was great at adding a boost to mood and alertness when driving short distances that were packed with nerve wracking traffic!
