Holiday Beauty Shopping: Piggy Paint SOPHi nail polishes for natural nails long lasting diy manicures

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

 

Happy October - half way through it! What did I tell you? What, did I tell you? The time flies so fast! 

Today I have a video demo review of a natural nail polish from Piggy Paint in SOPHi.

Watch the demo and test then please check back in a few days as I update how the manicure has held up.

 

 

More importantly, if you have a beauty lover in the family who likes doing nails, the time to start buying your gifts was weeks ago. It's like the saying about planting trees "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today". In the current state of things being 2020 weird in 2021, buy your gifts now. So many news stations are talking about supply chains and supply shortages and there is no time better than the present to take care of business.

 

For your Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shopping - think Piggy Paint SOPHi!

 

This video is a live demonstration of the Piggy Paint Sophi natural non toxic nail polish that says it will last on a natural nail - similar - to a gel manicure. Personally - I love a long lasting gel or dip powder manicure. 

 

But! 

 

I do not like the time involved or cost. In my experience, the gel and dip powder manicures take time to apply, and I have to go back to the nail salon to have it removed - and I pay both times. Yes, those manicures on natural nails last for weeks. 

 

 

 

This product, the duo set of primer/top coat and color are promised to last on a natural nail when you cure it with the heat of a blow dryer. I have painted one hand, the left, with the blow dryer heat and you will see that in the video. 

 

 

My right hand, is painted with OUT the heat. It's October 13 - I have high hopes that this manicure on both hands will make it to Sunday October 17th without any chipping or wear. If that happens, I"m sold! I think if you are a home diy manicure person, in general, you will love this product for it's commitment to non-toxic polish. As a person who has short patience for a desire to have pretty nail.  This product is made in the USA.

 

I'm waiting to see what happens. Don't wait for me to share - do your own test on the product using this link to Amazon prime: https://amzn.to/3FJEZma (*affiliate link*) 

 

 Let me know your experience with this product and thoughts on the colors and wear!

Summer Skin Resuce with Ola Hawaiian Body Products -Sugar Polish

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
Oh how I love a Monday! I get so much accomplished on a Monday! This summer barely has 2 weeks left in it for us!
Yes, the summer weather and months continue but for us, school goes back the first week of August.
Oy!

We have been in the pool, in the desert, on the road, and then some. My skin is dry to begin with now add the chlorine from the pool and of course, sunshine!

I just received samples of the new sugar polishes from Ola Tropical Apothecary, in the scents Rainforest and Pikake-note about this scent, it's basically gardenia. Oh my goodness, gardenia is my most favorite fragrance!

These are handmade with natural and organic ingredients! The scent is from essential oils and lasts on the skin after washing. The coconut oil that is the base for the scrub feels great on dry pool baked skin.

I've been using the Pikake over the weekend and it's already helping my dry feet and hands to be softer. The other scent I have is Rainforest - and that tub of goodness is a reader giveaway on my Instagram - so get in on it using this link!

TGIF with Highlight Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick - what your spring break needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Friday! TGIF! Oh Friyay!

Woo hoo!  Ok, so now that you know I am ready for the weekend - here is what's on my lips for the weekend work and adventure!

I recently received some samples from Highlight Cosmetics of their new liquid lipsticks.

There are 2 neutral shades and one with a hint of highlight.  I've worn these several times through talking, working as an emcee, eating, sipping wine and again, talking.  The wear is phenomenal - so be careful in how you paint this on your mouth because where you put it - it's going to stay!

From left to right on my lips: Sandstone Cashmere, Terracotta Dream ( fave) and Desert Mirage.

The application goes on smooth and the color dries down to a matte look and then after a short bit it becomes dry on the lip and I have needed to reapply a slickery gloss over it.  Note to you - the original application of Highlight cosmetics liquid lip, stayed on, and in place when I applied my sheer gloss over the top to give my lips some moisture.


I like the lip glosses enough to say that if you like liquid lipsticks, you may like these too!

Here are some details from the Highlight Cosmetics website about the lipsticks:

The NATURAL infusion of TURMERIC, GREEN TEA, WHITE TEA, SEA KELP, and a BENEFIT PEPTIDE will give your lips a soft, moist, and smooth finish.

A high performance liquid lipstick that lies above all others. Made in USA, cruelty free, gluten free & paraben free!

These are available exclusively on the Highlight Cosmetics website and are currently on sale for $14.99 each!v

Green Goo and You! What you and your Valentine need!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy final week of January! How was it for you? Mine was fast and furious with the work trips to CES in Las Vegas and then Park City Utah for Sundance.

Phew!

I came home to some lovely samples from Green Goo Helps - in my humble opinion one of the best natural skincare products that really focuses on healing the skin and is made in the USA!

Check out the Makeup University Facebook page for a Facebook Live session demonstrating the products!


Now, meet Green Goo Bath Salts in Relief with eucalyptus and mint!

Our Mineral Bath Salts are harvested from the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Evaporated by the sun and ocean air, this all-natural sea salt has a lovely trace mineral content that produces a beautiful, high quality bath salt. Well known for easing muscle tension and promoting overall relaxation. Perfect for soothing sore muscles, relaxing soaks, and calming foot baths.

Eucalyptus revitalizes sore, achy muscles and helps to clear and soothe congestion. Relax, relieve, and enjoy the tranquility.   16 ounces for $27.95

My experience:  I'm not a bath tub soaker kinda gal - there's just something about sitting in your own stew.  But, I do like to get my fancy home foot spa out and fill it up with goodies like this Green Goo bath salts!  The smell is amazing and the aromatherapeutic properties of the eucalyptus and mint wafts up to my nose so I get the benefits of the foot soak as well as the scent.  I know it's supposed to be "relief" but I found it invigorating! 

Now meet the Green Goo Grapefruit & Bergamot body scrub in Rise Up.

A delicious blend of organic oil and herbs, with mineral sea salt, designed to gently exfoliate and moisturize your skin while improving circulation, leaving you with a soft, youthful, nourished glow.

Rise Up with grapefruit, bergamot, and ginger as it energizes your senses while warming the body.

Rise Up Like The Sun.

My story: OMG!  This is one of my all time favorite type of body products next to really good creams.  I tried this as a hand scrub, foot scrub and then my entire body. It's vigorous love in a tub. The scent is warm, bright, invigorating and the texture of the scrub is a gritty smooth. Does that make sense? It's scrubby without being ouchy. The best part? It's oily.  It's got enough oil and oil reserve in the tub to make a nice paste to place on a rough body part and give a good rubbin'.  I'm in lovin'! 

With all of the products from Green Goo, you can trust the ingredients to be  natural, gluten free, cruelty free, and that the containers are made from recycled ingredients. It's just good stuff from Lyons Colorado!

If you get to the website now, you can get some gifts in time for Valentine's Day!

Go get it!

Use DermaSolve Psoriasis Medicated Body Wash To Heal Placques

Hi ya Gorgeous!
In today's "Wednesday Work It Out" series, I have a tool to help those with psoriasis and other skin conditions that are a bit itchy.

Meet Derma Solve.

Doctor Recommended Dermasolve is a complete line of products for both the body and scalp. This new treatment combines FDA recognized ingredients together with Ovasome Technology. Dermasolve is scientifically formulated to treat the symptoms of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and dandruff. The products are safe for use anywhere on the body including the face and scalp. All products are backed by a 60 day moneyback guarantee.


My son has pilaris keratosis - an itchy skin condition that forms hard bumps on the upper arms.  He has tested thie Psoriasis Body Wash for 3 weeks, using it twice a week.

These photos are week 1:  

 This is a before shot on week 1

 The Psoriasis body wash is really light, makes a small lather, and has a soft exoliating grit to it

After first use, my son likes the feel, the rinse and says his skin feels good and less itchy.

The DermaSolve Psoriasis collection is specifically for psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, though I figured it couldn't hurt to try in on the pilaris keratosis.  For any one who has psoriasis, you know how uncomfortable and itchy the placques can be.

After the shower, we applied the scalp oil on the upper arms to moisturize the skin. It is a light oil and absorbed into the skin quickly. It did not transfer onto clothes or the bed sheets.

Now these photos are from the third week and final test of the DermaSolve Psoriasis body wash.

The photo on the left is t he sixth application of DermaSolve Psoriasis Body wash and the photo on the right is the results after the shower.  He has seen a softening of the hard skin bumps and is encouraged enough by it to keep using the product.

If you have a dry itchy skin condition, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis, give this brand a try! They have a full line of skin products to help you treat and maintain a healthy skin!

Meet Million Dollar Tan

 Hi ya Gorgeous
Happy Caturday to you!

 I'm busy between gigs and getting ready for some travel and then a new opportunity - so this new sample from Million Dollar Tan came just in time!

So let's meet the Summer Sun tanning mousse!

Roux Maison Sport in Ambrosia for post Cincobilly in Lake Havasu fun

Hello Purty-
I'll see you lakeside in Havasu for Cincobilly today. Be sure and put lots of sunscreen on and be ready for heat. Now, when you get home and have sweaty, smoke filled, corn dog stained clothes-try some  
Roux Maison Sport Laundry Detergent in Ambrosia. 

Why? Because it's a good for the Earth and better for your clothes detergent that is gentle but effective and safe for HE machines!

Roux Maison Sport Laundry Detergent: 

Our specially formulated Sport Detergent eliminates the dirt, odor and bacteria that can thrive in your dirtiest and sweatiest technical and workout gear, regardless of fabric composition, without leaving anything else behind in its place.  Many detergents use harmful chemicals that leave behind a residue that coats the fibers of your fabrics.

These chemical residues inhibit optimal performance of your  technical/performance fabrics by causing them to retain moisture, instead of wicking it away as they were intended to do.  This retained moisture creates additional odor and bacteria in your clothing, which other detergents continue to mask with more chemicals, making your clothes smell good without ever removing the oils, odor and bacteria living in and on them.  As a result, your hi-tech and performance wear stops wicking away moisture, breathing, insulating and generally performing its best, while the fabrics deteriorate faster than they should because all of these chemicals literally eat up their fibers.

In addition, these chemicals are often allergens, irritants and toxins that are harmful to all of us regardless of our level of sensitivity.

Specially formulated for all types of washing machines, including High Efficiency HE.
Machine washing:  Add 2 capfuls (6 pumps) of detergent per full load for any type of machine.
Hand washing:  Add 1 capful (3 pumps) of detergent.
To mxzimize product in bottle, measure 2.4 teaspoons (.4 oz) of detergent per full load for 40 machine loads or use 1.2 teaspoons (.2 oz) to hand wash 80 times per 16 ounces.
Caution:  Keep away from children, do not consume and avoid contact with eyes.
Ingredients:  purified water, non-hazardous biodegradable surfactants, non-hazardous biodegradable salts, 100% pure essential oils.
