Spring Break and Ski Slope Sunscreens for Making a Splash in Color with Bare Republic

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Here in Arizona ,it's freezing cold and snow is in the high country which means a snowboard trip is in the works!

This year so far, has been fast and fun and there is more adventure in store for my family and I suspect yours too! It's Valentine's Day celebrations, then before you know it, spring breaks on beaches. So, when I stumbled across these colorful zinc oxide based sunscreen sticks which are the BEST for travel in the Walmart discount bin I snapped 'em all up! Yes, all of them!

 I know a good thing when I find it and these Bare Republic susncreens are a great product! Bare Republic’s healthy, eco-active Mineral Sunscreens are formulated for the entire family.  I first encountered Bare Republic at an Ipsy event and received a sample and from that moment on - I was in love! I have purchased lots of the natural mineral sunscreen for comfort and coverage in Arizona sun while also being able to maintain my makeup over it. Such good stuff!

Bare Republic biodegradable and reef-friendly sunscreens are proudly free of chemical actives, synthetic fragrances, parabens and anything else we wouldn’t want to put on our skin or leave behind in nature.  With broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and water-resistant formulas, Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreens are as clean and pure as it gets, but tough enough to keep up with all your outdoor adventures!

Bare Republic cruelty-free sunscreens combine antioxidant-rich oils, plant extracts, and non-nano mineral actives Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to help nourish and protect you, your friends, and your family.

Sandal Season is Here! Ethique Pumice & Peppermint Foot Polish to the Rescue!

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Oh - the weather! The official date of spring has passed on the calendar yet our current weather situation is anything but warm sunny sunshine filled days!

It's all severe rain and snow, wind and in general, a rather blustery day!

Though I encourage you to look ahead to better days that are coming!  In fact, sandal season is upon us!  It's time to take the toes out of the wool socks and boots and get them ready for show in fancy flip flops and open toe sandals!

Meaning, it's time for pedicures and taking extra care of feet, toes and heels.  My heels get a little rough in the winter but more so in the summer from always being in a sandal.

I just received a sample of the Ethique Beauty Pumice & Peppermint Foot Polish bar and it is absolutely lovely!

The packaging and thoughtful wrapping is recycled that is compostable. Ethique is a Certified B Corporation, makes cruelty free and climate friendly products - in short, they just make good stuff!

So you simply rub this deeply scented bar with chunks of shea butter in it and wee bits of pumice. The aroma is from the essential peppermint oil infused into the bar. It's a very light exfoliation, it's not harsh at all.

The box says - not to eat - but to be careful in the tub/shower because the super rich emollient shea butter could leave a film on the shower surface and become slippery.

The product is safe for the whole family and would make a lovely gift for the upcoming Passover and Easter seasons- or get early for Mother's Day and graduation gifts!

Find yours and more from Ethique on their website. They make a wide range of body bars, including, a bar shampoo - which, is perfect for travel, like, to Coachella!

Red flushed skin? Try Dear by Renee Youth Soothing Creme

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!


How's your March Madness going? Are you and the family on spring break or following the tournaments or are you preparing for a busy Passover and Easter season?  I swear - everything seems to happen at once!

So I have a wee bit more time to beauty blog this month now that my film, 8 Days in Havasu has officially landed on Amazon! I have a wee break til production begins on Arise Annalynn next month meaning ...time to experiment with some new products!

Meet  Dear by Renee Youth Soothing Creme! 

It can be used on skin that has psoriasis and on skin that gets red and blotchy.  I have redness from years of sun scars from being in the desert sun and not re-applying my sun screen. See, that's the secret, you have to reapply to get the true benefit and adding a hat doesn't hurt either!

Here are some details about the Dear by Renee Youth Soothing Creme - I must say, I really like the creme. It's called a creme though to me it has a gel like texture and is hydrating, soothing, feels good, wears good alone and under makeup and over all - I like it!

Details below and get yours on the website  Dear by Renee.  On the website it is $74.95 for 1.7 ounces.

Best for All Skin Types in Anti-Aging, Soothing, Hydrating, also Great for Sensitive, Dehydrated, Allergy-prone Skin.

Infusion of Hollywood celebrity favoured Arnica Extract, Youth Soothing Crème contains several active components that hydrates and soothes dehydrated, itchy, or red skin. It is also a wonderful moisturizer for seasonal transitions. 

Benefits:

• Look Young & Radiant: The special properties of Blackcurrant Seed oil and Balloon Vine extract in combination with Sunflower Oil Concentrate effectively reduce inflammatory processes and replenish the damaged skin barrier. Tego Stemlastin stimulates epidermal stem cells and dermal fibroblasts. This premium crème stops accelerated skin aging (inflamm-ageing).
• Fabulous Soothing & Anti-inflammatory: Hollywood celebrity favoured Arnica Extract Offers anti-inflammatory and stimulating activity, normalizes superficial microcirculation, and activates the reabsorption of cutaneous blood effusion (bruises). It enhances the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness. 
• Enhance Skin Health: Delisens Solution, an innovative hexapeptide, relieves itching while helping sensitive skin to recover its physiological tolerance threshold. Cistus Incanus Extract protects DNA, provides anti-inflammatory effects, delivers daylight defense, and protects from environmental stress.
• Bring Hydration Back to Skin:  Defensil®-Plus markedly relieves dry, itchy, allergy-prone skin. A synergistic complex of yeast and several botanical extracts rich in saponosides and flavonoids, strengthens capillaries, reinforces their resistance and reactivates microcirculation, which restores proper moisture balance and improves skin elasticity

In Need of a Spring Break Lippie? Try the New Essence Cosmetics Butter Stick Lip Gloss

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh wow! Long time no chit chat! I am doing my best to get a post up on Monday - and here it is...Wednesday! My deep apologies! Though, I have good reason for missing the deadline.

I have been pressing forward in media and film making and I have a new short film, that is a family friendly positive encouraging "got get 'em" attitude of a story!

I'm so excited for 8 Days in Havasu to release on Amazon March 15th!

I took my samples from Essence Cosmetics - by the way, thank you very much Essence Cosmetics for these lovely samples! I loved mine, and then I took them to set to show the talent, and they loved too!

I'm short some colors because the talent loved!

So I have two videos for you - a lil vignette from the beach shoot with talent Leah Nead and also the full review from me






This video features these new matte and glossy shea butter infused lip "sticks"! These are available at Ulta Beauty or through the Essence Cosmetics website and average $3.99! I received these as free samples for a review and I'm so glad I got to try them! The colors featured in the video are: strawberry, dark syrup, hot cocoa, berry gold and the dark glossy brown did not have a name on it! I used these in my latest film, 8 Days in Havasu with lead actress Leah Nead! You can see her video on the Facebook page, http://facebook.com/8DaysinHavasu

3 Things To Make This Week Great with Makeup University

Hi ya Gorgeous!
How you doin' these days? I was just thinking to myself, I'm really liking the weekly digest, though I also like being more choosy of the brands I work with since now I have so little space to write - I only say yes to the weird and wonderful. Let that be  a clue to you about what is coming your way!

Now, this week,  I am introducing you to LAFCO New York: Luxury Articles & Fragrance Co!  The body creme and hand creme are amazing!

These Italian crafted body products are rich, thick, luxurious with a fresh scent and not greasy! There are several fragrances to choose from - I have the Mint Tisane and it's spring break perfect! Oh. But wait. Not yet. Weird, though my son's spring break is at the end of April, three weeks before school gets out. Seriously?

Get your own LAFCO online here http://lafco.com

In the video I have what I consider, the most important makeup tip ever! So watch it!

 Now, 2017 for me is a year to get back to reading a book a week. It's doable for me and pushes me to learn something new, strengthen old skills and keep moving forward.

This week I am re-reading Change Agent by Os Hillman. I picked this up at the Hollywood Prayer Network a few years back when I attended a prayer meeting at The Garland in Studio City California. Whoa. The book is great - though for me personally the big take away was that hotel.

It's so old skool Hollywood glam at the base of Universal Studios. I loved it! They have "dive-in" movies and it's my dream to take the cast and crew there and screen our film Jael A Western Tale there and then binge watch  the Tremors series while floating in the pool sipping something bubbly! A gal can dream can't she?

 Now enjoy the video! Remember to subscribe if you haven't already!




These body and hand creams retail for $35 and can be found at http://www.lafco.com

Enjoy the teaching tip and please share in the comments how you wash your brushes!

This week's book read is: Change Agent by Os Hillman
Get it! It's good!

So for all my Beauties getting ready to take a trip or attend a big event, if you want to have a fresh lip look while respecting the budget, then consider these 3 different types of lippies from essence cosmetics!

A lip gloss, a highly pigmented liquid lipstick and of course, a good ol' fashion hydrating lipstick.
