Sleigh bells are ringing, snow is glistening, and you're all about that walk through a winter wonderland.

Here, ways to relax and rejoice, while respecting the green (both the Earth and your loot). See tips

So much going on in this photo! First, that's my Patrice Beaute model test color: at first it was purple. Yes, purple. Then ,toned down with a 4N brown which should have been light but actually was a bit darker than my normal 3N. The best thing about the Patrice Beaute new color line is that it has the most aromatic color and developer that I've experienced in a while. In fact, it smells darn near as good as AVEDA products.

Now, what I am holding in the picture are healthy, luxury and rich ME lipsticks. They are 100% certified organic, paraben-free and all three formulas are belnded with anti0xidant rich grape seed oil and vitamin A to help regenerate damaged skin cells.
All of the ME Lip products have no parabens, no bisbmuth oxichloride, additives, oils, talcs, harh chemicals or preservatives.
There are thee forumlas to choose from:
Vitarich
Sheer and creme plus a lipgloss line.

If you are a savvy bride getting ready to elope or have the fairy tale wedding, these shades and formultations are a perfect choice for your wedding day signature color. Due to the rich emulsion and moisturizing formula it will keep your lips feeling great for kissing and caking, plus the gloss is highly pigmented with great shine.

In the photo I am wearing CranberrySpice with Hot Pink gloss over it. These have been around since 2003 and you can get your s online at www.mineralessence.com, or at Beauty 360 stores and Sears Beyond Beauty.

Enjoy!
