What Is the Fall Lip Look - Look Like? Labor Day Weekend Lippies and Beyond

 Hi ya Gorgeous! 

September 1st! The Fall season doesn't officially start on the calendar until September 22 though when would now be a great time to get started with transitioning into Fall tones and colors in your makeup and wardrobe!

The style forecast for makeup going into this season shows graphic liner lips, and bejeweled eyes and stain blended lips. I cry foul on all that business. In my opinion I feel like it is not practical for my everyday Mom and work life. 

Though I do love the vinyl lip look and it takes me way way back to the Chanel Vamp lipstick days! 

 Going into Fall 2022 vinyl lips is it!

Right now on Amazon there is Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick which is a $10 and under lippie for you to get now for Fall looks. I ordered mine and will update when it gets here!

 Lady Gaga's HAUS  Labs has a vinl lipgloss if you want vegan makeup.

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga is an American vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics brand founded by Lady Gaga. First launched on September 17, 2019, it was the first major beauty line to launch exclusively on Amazon

 What do you think of this lip trend for Fall 2022? Will you wear it?

3 Must Haves for Labor Day Weekend via Mordor West

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Happy Labor Day weekend to you and your family! I hope this finds you keeping cool! My area has had record breaking high temperatures, fires and an earthquake.  I liken it to living in Mordor West.

I have 3 things that can help you with a Labor Day celebration - enjoy the video! If you are out and about, please be mindful of your surroundings and know what station to tune into for emergency road conditions. In California, the fire can shift at a wind's notice and close a road down. 

 

Be alert while having fun!

Happy Labor Day to You and Yours!

 Hi ya Gorgeous

Well, here we are. It's here. It's official. For the United States, Labor Day means that Fall, and real life is back on track. The summer oblivion and joie de vivre carefree zestful days of no schedule and no school are officially over.

True, here in Arizona, we have been in school for over a month and professionally for me, I go back to work when my son goes back to school. In fact, I am using this day, to stay in my pyjamas, and ooze from my bed to my lazy boy chair and lay there like over cooked broccoli for the entire day binging on any and all shows and movies that I want to see. Why? Because as of September 4th - my work and production schedule goes full tilt! Like Tilt-a-Whirl at the county fair kind of tilt.

I'm not complaining by any means! I am ecstatic about the upcoming celebrations for Rosh Hashana! So so so looking forward to all of the mega commutes full of new audio books and the commute from here to Burbank and back, and back, and back again! 

So knowing that is coming, I am taking today - to rest- really really really deep in my bones rest to the point of boredom at the end of the day. Because when I awake on Tuesday morning, it's go time. Supersonic go and I'm ready for it!

How are you and your family spending the Labor Day weekend?  Here's a touch of history about the holiday. Which started out as an opportunity to celebrate the work and progress of the country and has quickly spiraled into a political pandering point mess.

I say, enjoy yourself, rest. Enjoy your loved ones - the family, friends and fur family on this day. Take a deep breath and enjoy the day because not only has Fall officially started ...so has the countdown to Christmas.  113 days to be exact!

Wikipedia facts on Labor Day:
Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws, and well-being of the country.

Changing Seasons? - Change Skincare! Meet MyChelle Fantastic Four Hyaluronic Hydrating System

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Welcome to your Labor Day Weekend! This year - we have forgone the usual road warrior trippin' across the country from here to there for memory making and instead have opted for several smaller and perhaps more meaningful adventures. There were also some obligations here at home that could have been missed, though it definitely is  better to have stayed home and made them.


So it gives me a very rare moment - to be home alone - with not what I would call time to spare, more like, time to do what I want with. I have had a pet project in edit/production/writing/mode for months now and I'm going to take my time and work/play on it!

I also have time to play with some new blog samples that just arrived and not a moment too late! I'm here to speak the truth that yes, it's true, here in the desert of Arizona it has finally nudged under the 100 degree temperature mark making it almost feel Fall like. Almost.

I'm sure you know this and just in case you do not - when the seasons of weather change - it's time to change your skincare too. Why? Because different weather brings different needs! In the summer, I switch to an acne care line with a stringent cleanser to clean the layers of sweat, desert, chlorine and sunscreen off my skin. In the winter, my dry skin needs triple the moisture I need in the summer, so my cleanser switches to an oily based cream wash.

Today I'm introducing you to what I just met - these samples of the Fantastic Four Hyaluronic Hydrating System.

You are about to see the MyChelle Ultra Hyaluronic Hydrating Cream, Ultra Hyaluronic Beauty Mist, Ultra Hyaluronic Water Mask, and Bio-Firm Hydrogel Concentrate.


There is a mondo gondo Labor Day Sale going on right now - 25% off from the MyChelle.com website or, I get mine on Amazon because of the free shipping and one click doo dah hassle free ordering.

Now - I can sum up all of these products in one simple word, calming/soothing/hydrating/effective.
That's a word, right? 
 




 The weather is finally changing - even here in Arizona - the early mornings are actually, cool. Just a bit! So with the changing season comes the need to change your skincare routine up a bit. I will be moving from a strong and stringent cleanser to a foamy cream cleanser for the winter. If it ever gets to Arizona.
So today I want to introduce you to the new "Fab Four" from MyChelle Dermaceuticals. I received these samples for an honest review and honestly, I like 'em! Find more on the blog. MyChelle is available at retailers nationwide, online and at Amazon https://amzn.to/2wB2xai

Wine Wednesday - For The "Common Good" - Labor Day Weekend Prep

Hi ya Gorgeous!

 Who else is ready for a Wednesday? Or a new wine? Or - what? The fast approaching Labor Day weekend!

Ahh! Where does the time go? Where ever it goes, it goes too fast!

Ok, today I have a wine review of a Newman's Own product - Common Good cabernet sauvignon.

Did you know that Newman's Own charity started 30 years ago with a simple salad dressing? To this day, I like that dressing, and I like the Sockerooni marinara sauce too!

Now get ready to experience this wine - it's worth it! So much fun and goodness in the bottle!

Treets Traditions - Relaxing chakra's Foaming Shower Gell in rose & ricebran oil

Hi ya Gorgeous!
How is your Sunday going? Is it relaxing or full of adventure or prep and planning?
Mine, is  prep and planning. Though I would like to be sipping sangria and grillin' meats for the fam then having a show - I'm not.

The week ahead is cray cray amazing - don't get me wrong - I'm super excited for all that is coming up in the next 3 weeks -  but - it means that some serious nose to the grindstone preparation needs to be done around the house to ensure a smooth week ahead and then some.


Now that all the chores are done - with just some in house cleaning to complete - I am ready to relax with a long hot shower and lots of my fave bath goodies, but in the shower. I don't really like baths because who wants to soak in their own dirty water? Seriously!

I have a new foaming shower gel to use for some in shower spa aromatherapy from Treets Tradtions, it's rose and ricebran oil.  I'm a huge fan of the rose scent and this shower foam is made with rose oil!

It's foamy with lots of nourishing skin oil for a pampering shower. You can dispense a ball of foam into your palm, onto a poof or wash cloth then enjoy the aromatherapy and moisturizing wash.

I'm liking mine- you just may like it too!  Find it online at Amazon!

Meet Dove DermaSeries - How to Help Dry Itchy Skin from the Drugstore to Your Home

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh what a wonderful week it is! I'm so excited for what's next in this life adventure! I'm in the middle of planning my son's  13th birthday party! Whoa - where did 13 years go?

Today's post is an introduction to a new series of skincare by Dove. Now, who doesn't know Dove as a go to staple of skincare in the drugstore? Am I right? But, did you know that they have a new product line that is geared towards and focused on skincare needs of those with eczema, extremely dry skin and those with a need for extra care.

Dove puts it this way:  " A new way to care for the most delicate faces, every product in our range protects against dry skin and leaves it soft, smooth and comfortable. Discover a dermatologist-tested face bar – our mildest beauty bar yet – that’s fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. Or try Dove DermaSeries Gentle Cleansing Face Wash, a hypoallergenic face wash that improves visual dryness in just 4 washes. Finish your routine with our face cream, DermaSeries Replenishing Face Cream with SPF 15. Every product glides onto your skin with ease, moisturises and sinks in without a trace. Creamy cleansing and care for a beauty routine as enjoyable as you deserve."

I agree. My son who has Pilaris Keratosis on his upper arms and calves has been using this and so far, so good. It's providing relief as well as comfort without scent or a sticky tacky feeling on the skin. That's a win for us!




Get your Dove DermaSeries products online at Amazon or in your local CVS and Walmart!

Australian Gold Botanical Sunsreen in spf 50 - what Labor Day Weekend needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Thursday - that feels like a Monday with the back to school season upon us.  I just received some samples from Australian Gold in the new botanical sunscreen line, just in time for the Labor Day Weekend coming up in a few weeks.

I'm testing the products now in my home pool and so far, so good! I'm looking forward to using these at Caesar's Palace over the holiday weekend! 

These are available on Amazon, in mass retailers and on the Australian Gold website.

 This sunscreen is lightweight, has a bit of scent, wears a sheer tint on the face that is not greasy and my other makeups wore well over it! Now, notice in the photo below - it's fairly light. I do not know if there is a shade range in this product, but I do know, that anyone with deeper pigment in the skin still needs to wear sunscreen!

Learn more  about these award winning botanical sunscreens here:  https://australiangold.com/

 Now, before you blink it will be the long holiday weekend to celebrate Labor Day. I will be on mini vacay in Vegas with friends and packing this along. So - please don't wait til the last minute, invest in some good protection now!

The Australian Gold® Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Mineral Lotion is more than just powerful sun protection – it’s gentle care for your skin. This non-chemical sunscreen lotion delivers a refreshingly luxurious, powdery-clean feel, while the subtle tint seamlessly blends into any skin tone yet washes away with water. Specially designed for sensitive facial skin, this lotion won’t clog pores and is fragrance free. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants from native Australian botanical ingredients, it allows you to enjoy the sun your way, protected from both UVA and UVB rays, and water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Discover the non-greasy, non-sticky feel of the Australian Gold Botanical® Line and experience worry-free days in the sun!  $13.99

The Australian Gold® Botanical SPF 50 Natural Spray is more than just powerful sun protection – it’s gentle care for your skin. This natural sunscreen spray delivers a refreshingly luxurious, powdery-clean feel in a convenient 360° continuous spray. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants from native Australian botanical ingredients, it allows you to enjoy the sun your way, protected from both UVA and UVB rays, and water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Discover the deliciously subtle scents and non-greasy, non-sticky feel of the Australian Gold Botanical® Line and experience worry-free days in the sun!   $15.99

So far so good, my son and I both like this spray and I know the experts say don't use spray sunscreen because enough does not get on the skin and a thick layer that gets rubbed in and activated on the skin is really what is necessary for sun protection.

This product is an avobenzone product and not reef safe - but it's pool safe and some sun protection is better than none at all. Australian gold is pediatrician tested, dermatologist tested, paba free, phthalate free, paba free, oxybenzone free, hypo allergenic and no animal testing with organic alcohol being used in the base.

There has been tragedy abound and each and everyone of us gals has suffered a major blow in life!  Alas, we are not making the trip this year!

Though here are the details on Hydralyte and instead of me sipping in  Las Vegas I will be enjoying here in the extreme heat of Arizona. How extreme? Well, at the local airport,the overnight temperature was 131. Holy smokes!

How to enjoy your Labor Day Weekend in Arizona

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
So, truth be told, the majority of Arizonans, leave the state for the holiday weekend. I have traveled for the past 10 years on this weekend and for some odd reason, I seem to be home this time? No worries- I have gotten a lot of odd jobs and tidying up done around the yard. Stuff I normally put off...years at a time.

For those of you who are in the great state of Arizona here are a few suggestions that I found on the
Arizona Key website. I think the Lowell Observatory would be my choice if I were any where in that area.

Cheers to you having fun!

emerginC complexion perfection: what traveling skin needs to be photo ready

Hi ya Gorgeous,

Phew! No complaints or complaining-though the whirlwind travel is taking it's toll! It's up early, go all day, up late, one busy appointment to another while squeezing in the homeschool schedule! Nuts!

 I've got this in my purse for when I'm tired,dehydrated, grumpy and need to look fresh and rested!

It's the emerginC Complexion Perfection roller ball of goodness! This convenient purse size is just $80.00 and a lil bit goes a long way!
An instant skin transformation serum with potent concentrations of alpha-lipoic acid, retinol and Siberian sea buckthorn extract to help instantly improve skin tone and texture. Skin is left feeling incredibly silky and radiant.

Speaking of travel, this sweet product has gone empty on this trip. I recently changed my hair from the normal dark, dark brown, to a warm nutmeg. It's a bit backwards because normally I wear light hair for the summer and dark the rest of the year. But with the new video series, I wanted a fresh look. Stay tuned for the nutmeg hair!

I'm taking good care of my nutmeg hair with the Nexxus Encapsulate serum.
It's a hair saver for damaged, bleached and highly chemically treated hair!

So sad that it's empty now! It was worth every little pump!

• Enriched with a Caviar Complex and 100% pure
• This sophisticated blend marks the first time in the world concentrated conditioning oil has been encapsulated into pearls and suspended in a water-based rebuilding serum rich in nutrients and pure protein
• Fused together this weightlessly powerful blend targets damaged hair by intelligently reconstructing within and repairing hair progressively, smoothing the fibre surface to bring it back to its pre-damaged state

 Get yours on Amazon or in fine hair salons.
