All In One Shaver by J Paul Skincare | What your AFM - CES - Mipcom - Vidcon - and holiday gift giving needs now

 Hi ya Gorgeous,
Happy Thursday and almost weekend! Or should I just cut to the chase and say happy 95 days til Christmas!
I'm not ready!

Well, this lil goody I have to share today could be something to help me, you and the rest of the world when it comes to travel and shaving - gift giving and keepin' things neat and tidy in a busy season!
 

Meet the All In One Shaver by J Paul Skincare.  This comes in a set of 3 shavers that have 6 blades and a pump tube of shave cream for a handle.  I've used it - it's fabulous. The only thing I would do different is put a grippy texture on the handle.  Why? Because it got slippery in the shower on my legs.  The All In One Shaver is intended for the face so in it's intended use the water and shave cream run off won't make it as slippery as using it on a shin in the shower.
This item is TSA approved for travel!





Enjoy the video and get yours on the J Paul Skincare website or in H-E-B stores in Texas!

I realize that the TSA has made it impossible to fly anywhere these days unless you like pedophiles sexually harrassing you and your children or you don't mind lethal doses of radiation while going through scanners that show you as naked as the day you were born.

No worries! You can still achieve an amazing holiday tan just like you had been on vacation in the tropics! Just look like you've been to Hawaii and the Carribbean by using FAKE BAKE!

So Thanksgiving turkeys aren't the only things getting golden brown this week!

Oh you will love this system! P.S. that is the secret, it's a system!

I know, you and I both have tried nearly every product out there but until I got a tanning system
I only had so-so results!
The best thing about FAKE BAKE is that the color comes out a golden brown! I put a wide stripe on my ever so white belly and it cured with in minutes of applying and showed up a dark golden brown.

If you are going to school reunions, Thanksgiving dinners, holiday parties or just need to get a fresh look to boost your self confidence in this very busy holiday season, I recommend getting the FAKE BAKE tanning system. You will need:

Body Polish-this smooths the skin prio to self tanning and is moisturizing too!

Oil Free Moisturizer-before applying your FAKE BAKE self tanner get superb hydration and smoothing of the skin

Self Tanning Lotion-technolody that delivers a deeper darker long lasting tan. The color guide of the creme makes it easy to know where you have applied and it literally is streak free. I would tell you if I had a stripey belly but I don't!

For easy shopping for yourself, a stocking stuffer or the ultimate office party gift get the self tanning tri-pak for best results! www.fakebake.com

Enjoy your pre-Thanksgiving preparations!

Calgon "take me away"-for easing Thanksgiving stress-

I love fragrance and these new scents by Calgon are a great way to have some self care in the
busy holiday season. Thanksgiving is upon us and if you want to stock your guest bathroom with a refreshing or invigorating scent the bubble bath, fizzy sets and body cremes from Calgon have scents from traditional lavender vanilla to powder fresh and the new Morning Glory sent seen in the photo in blue.

These products would make a great office party gift, stocking stuffer or simple something to give yourself to remind you how important it is to stay calm and relaxed in this holiday season so you can enjoy the memory making.

You can find Calgon at Walmart, Target and most drugstores.

Keep your eyes open for the new moisturizing shower gel and foam bath, rejuvenating epsom salts and nourishing body cream which comes in the two new scents Moon Petal Musk which you see me enjoying in the photo and Morning Glory. Go get some and relax!

So here's a simple and affordable solution that actually comes with a goof proof tool!

The "As Seen On TV" brands from Kymaro have an amazing and affordable tanning system!

It consists of a moisturizing exfoliator to prep skin for self tanning.

Then the actual large bottle of tanning creme which dries down to a nice, light brown color.

Plus the kit comes with a TSA approved size of tanning spray so you can easily pack it to your destination wedding or Thanksgiving weekend party to touch up your tan as needed. Wait there is more! Look in the photo and you can see me holding what looks like a bug light or the black light that you use to find scorpions with. (okay if you live in Arizona you do this) Actually what it does is help you highlight areas that you have missed or need more blending of the tan product.

Hello, my name is Cherelynn and I am a fragrance junkie! I love parfums! Perfumes!
Eau De Toilettes and occasionally a cologne.

I always layer my scent with body wash and lotions so that my thick cloud of perfume similiar to the cloud of dirt that accompanies the Peanuts Gang character Pig Pen lasts for as long as possible.

This is a new fragrance just in time for the holidays! Perfume is always a great stocking
stuffer in my opinion! Or hide a bottle on the tree like an ornament!

Now the name is Seductive, so I put my housecoat on so no one would get any funny ideas...

alas, it's a lovely spicey aroma and dries down to a subtle orange scent. I enjoy it and know you will too! Keep your eyes out for the Ulta mailer and Sephora too because come black Friday you know the fragrance sets will be at their best prices.

Note to you: the two best times of the year to buy your parfums is Christmas and Mother's Day because they have lower prices and always come with a gift with purchase such as a pair of bath gel and lotion! Enjoy the Seductive fragrance by Guess and get your own whiff at your local fragrance bar!

Too Faced cosmetics Pixie Pair perfect for Phoenix Faerie Fair!

Red Carpet Looks You Can Do in Under 10 Minutes

Find out how to get your fave celebrity looks -- minus the prep time

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair style advice article We picked the brains of celebrity hairstylists and makeup artists to get the steps to re-create these looks in under 10 minutes. See looks

Welcome to the world of Too Faced Pixie makeup!
Just in time for the Phoeix Faerie Faire! Enjoy the photo tutorial and then put some on and visit the faeries at:

http://www.westerngatesfaerierealms.com/PhoenixFaerieFestival.htm

I think this super cute light turquoise quilted bag of makeup is perfect for a destination bride, any bride, everyday at the office and of course for getting your pixie makeup on for anytime you are feeling the least bit pixiesh.

The first photo shows everything that
comes in the kit: the blush and bronzer duo, the quad of shadows, the lipgloss, a mascara and eyeshadow primer.
The second picture shows the extra beauty items that I added to complete my day pixie look.

After applying my Arbonne line defiance makeup, I began to prime my lids for shadow.
A little bit of primer goes a long way and is worth the added step for photos, or big party nights out because it creates an even canvas to work on and the slight tackiness of the product makes shadows wear

longer. The quad comes with a matte neutral beige that you won't see in a photo of me putting on though I put the creme primer on, then applied a light dusting of the neutral beige
before I started covering below the eyebrow, to the nose and slightly past the outer edge of my eyes with the sparkly gold tone.
Then I cover the lid area from eye
lash line to the crease with the
coppery medium shadow-and I blend like crazy!
This quad is so versatile with a high pigment load that you really can go
from day to night or wedding
ceremony to reception and off to
the honeymoon with it!
Next I use the dark brown to make a smudgey eyeline along my lashes on top and underneath. I use the same dark brown to draw on a thick angular eyebrow.
I curl and apply two coats of the
mascara. I like to curl my lashes first and feel like it opens up the eye a bit more.
The small size is convenient for travel or keeping in your purse during a celebration out.

I begin to finish my Too Faced Pixie look with a coat of gloss and thank goodness it has a brush on it and not a doe foot! I love a brush in my gloss because it puts the product on the mouth and then you can blend it into place where as a doe foot just wipes
the color on and the off as you try to apply. I did not line my lips as usual in this photo!
Since my look is just about done I set my makeup with my new favorite beauty product the brand Makeup Forever HD translucent powder.
If you don't have some, put it on your Christmas list!

Finally, I'm pixie perfect ready and I seal it all in a light spray of ERA Classified cosmetics silver shimmer highlight.

Why you say? Why not!

The Too Faced Pixie makeup bag is a special set for holiday sales and can be picked up at Sephora, Ulta, and maybe even a fine beauty retailer near you!

What Does Your Skin Need? Find Out

Summer yields skin damage, so here are some ways to repair it

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care tips article Sun, alcohol, chlorine, saltwater ... summer was fun while it lasted, but how's your skin taking it? Find out some ways to quickly repair the damage. Get tips

Well friends have I ever found something for you!

Lush, fresh handmade cosmetics "It Started With a Kiss" lip tint is amazing! It's organic, vegan, composed of extra virgin coconut oil, resh red apple infusion, shea butter and tastes amazing!

You would love tinkering around on their website to learn more about them as a company because each product comes with a made date and a use by date.

I love this cool red tone and it's soft on the lips and

eyes! So it's just enough for an office day look and if you add a lip liner to it the LUSH liptint can go out to evening play.
Now believe it or not but the holiday season is upon us and you will have a party to go to or family photos to take in no time! So start planning now!

There may be a LUSH store near you, if not allow some time for shipping.

Now the next series of photos you can see I have a bag full of pink shimmer creme product.

I don't know what the name of this is but I love it!

I have played with it alone, under makeup, on top of makeup, on eye lids and lips.

Since it's a pure product I don't have to worry about putting it near my eyes and lips.

I used a foundation brush, my fingers and a sponge to get different levels of coverage and texture with the product.

One of the things about LUSH is that they do very minimal packaging to save on cost for you and environmental concerns. Makeup containers can only be used for recycling at a low level of crude re-uses because of the normally high level of petroleum products housed in the containers.

So a lipstick tube usually gets recycled into other cosmetic packaging or tires.

I know you will love LUSH once you give them a try and when you love it for yourself-give some to a friend or family member so they can love it too!
