Back to school with Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide in Golden

Hello Gorgeous!
It's officially BTS-Back to School. In fact, first day of school is 48 hours away. Where did the summer go!
So the laid back, fun and easy summer schedule is over and it's back to the grind. *sigh*

As a busy mom, I'm thankful to have discovered a new foundation like product from Laura Mercier in the new Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide.

 Do you like my creepy horror lighting? I have some sci fi/horror projects coming up and as you  can see, I'm practicing the lighting with my new Laura Mercier foundation.

Now, onto a bit about the product.

Arizona prom: butter LONDON gets your lips & nails prom photo ready

Hello Gorgeous! The Arizona prom season is on and in full swing with several Mesa Arizona high schools scheduled to host their proms this weekend and next!
There is plenty of time for you gals to get dowqn to Ulta or Nordstroms to pick up some butter London!

Snog is the hot pink shade for the bold prom goer who wants to make a loud statement.
Yummy Mummy is the true nude shade for the demure prom goer who would rather whisper than shout.

Whichever you choose-choose butter LONDON for your lips and nails because they are chemical free, paraben free, petrochemical free and in short, a great healthy beauty choice for you.
Below is a short report and link from the California EPA on some natural products that contain the 'Big 3" that butter LONDON does not. Enjoy!

If you need a prom makeup application appointment-email me for details where I will be stationed and doing prom looks!
###
A report released this week by California Environmental Protection Agency's Department of Toxic Substances Control found that several nail polish products tested contained the three chemicals commonly referred to as the "toxic trio" - dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, and formaldehyde. Despite several of the products' claims to be chemical free, in many cases even stating so on the label, they contained them nonetheless. While many lacquer brands were found guilty of blurring the line between 'toxic' and 'non-toxic', industry leader butter LONDON is proud to have been a pioneering force behind the creation of non-toxic nail lacquer in http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifthe United States and continues their dedication to the health and well-being of their customers. Please find a quote below from Leslie Freytag, President &http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif CEO of butter LONDON:

“All of our products are formulated without the use of the harmful ingredients Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP. We feel it is imperative to provide a range of 3 Free products that is not only fashion-forward and unique, but most importantly, safe.”
