By Makeup Addict · September 17, 2009 · 0 Comments · 273 Views

Thames - A soft, blue-green stunner, with just a tiny undercurrent of gold. Much like a dip in the Thames; it's not for the faint hearted, but you will be remembered for The High Price of Beauty?  We don't think so.

butter LONDON is a 3 Free CompanyWhat is 3 free? 
Most major nail companies use toxic chemicals in their products.  Why? Because they are cheap and unmonitored by the Food and Drug Administration.  They are also extremely hazardous to humans, causing cancer, birth defects, neurological damage, and a host of other serious illnesses.butter LONDON products contain NO Formaldehyde, NO Toluene, and NO DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate).We believe in Colour, not Carcinogens.
$14.00              Available @
Drugstore.com

 

Makeup Addict noticed a very different nail polish on a co-worker and asked what it is.  It turned out to be butter London Nail Lacquer and they have quite a pallete of colors.  My friend mentioned that it stays on very well and hasn't chipped in her 5 days of wearing it at that time.  They do have some really nice and unique colors to check out!

Gotta Check this out! Valley NYC ~ DMAE Firming Eye Gel

By Makeup Addict · July 20, 2009 · 0 Comments · 492 Views

 

Pat this aloe-based eye gel under your eyes and feel refreshed and awake all day. Not only does it hydrate, calm, and cool the area, reducing fine lines and bringing down puffiness or dark circles, but it also contains DMAE. DMAE is a naturally occurring substance that facilitates the synthesis of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine: the compound released from the ends of nerve fibers and it is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. DMAE also may stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is an essential fatty acid that improves and protects cell membranes damaged by free-radicals and improves blood flow and circulation. An intriguing finding in some DMAE studies was that it reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin deposits inside cells. Lipofuscin deposits are cellular pigment consisting of aggregated chucks of molecular waste. It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin and pore tightening and people report a cumulative effect with continued use of the product. DMAE can't fully reverse existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression.    Available @ between you and the moon

 

Makeup Addict saw this in a magazine -- not as an advertisement -- but as one of the Editor's favorite beauty tools.  She claimed "It's incredibly cooling, and it totally eliminates any puffiness--which otherwise always plagues me when it's hot."  Sounds like something we may want to check out.  It is actually a spa that sells their products in addition to their services.  Hmmmm, some of us reviewers are going to NY soon -- maybe they can take a peek here if they have a chance!!!

Gotta get em ~ Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel

By Makeup Addict · July 19, 2009 · 0 Comments · 640 Views

Clears pores while balancing oily and dry zones for a healthy, shine-free complexion

Primary Benefits:

  • Dissolves pore clogging impurities
  • Normalizes oil production
2.0 FL. OZ. | $40        Available @ Murad

Makeup Addict just finished reading an article in Good Housekeeping where their Research Institute put Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel up against some of the other leading Pore Reducers and Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel came out on top.  It was a close pick -- but to help me make a decision this was the least expensive of those mentioned.  It actually reduced the size of the pores when tested in the lab.   Notice the star rating system in their description.  This is how their customers rated the product -- NOT BAD!!  I gotta run out and  try this.

Gotta Get Em! Tracy Feith for Target

By Miss Style Apothecary · May 18, 2009 · 0 Comments · 124 Views

 

Hawaiian Floral Canvas Dress - Wave $39.99 @ Target

Tracy Feith Biography
Texas-born Tracy Feith has been on the fashion scene for over two decades with a decidedly unorthodox approach. As a skateboarder in the early ’80s, Feith started customizing his own skate clothes to express his free-spirited, punk personality. Enjoying this foray into design, Feith decided to refine his skills at art school, where a class intrigued him to further explore fashion design. Following school, Feith worked at various garment factories where he taught himself how to create and produce beautiful clothes, eventually developing his own aesthetic that is described as Bohemian luxury.

Over the last 25 years, Feith has launched a brand that is known as elegant, yet undeniably cool and looks as good on the beach as it does on the red carpet. The brand has also extended into menswear and accessories that reflect the same effortlessly cool aesthetic. The collection has attracted celebrity fans such as Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and First Lady Michelle Obama, among others.

Feith’s apparel is made in Manhattan – a rarity in the fashion world, and his designs are now sold via four independently-owned stores (Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Hamptons and L.A.), as well as a select few highend specialty boutiques across the country. Feith’s exclusive collection for Target, launching May 17, is embodied in bold patterns, exquisite fit and unabashed originality.
