I’m in love with Laura Geller’s Baked Makeup!

Everyone has their favorite fashion basics–the little black dress, the classic strand of pearls or a soft cashmere cardigan. Now, get the stylish basics of beauty with Laura Geller’s Baked Makeup essentials, formulas that truly transform your cosmetics routine and work for all skin types.

I love this collection! The colors are so gorgeous on. It is perfect as fall approaches! The colors combine to make a very radiant, very beautiful color. I’ve tried all of these products, and I love them all! They are amazing!

Laura Geller knows that looking great starts with a personalized take on colors and trends. That’s why her Baked Collection of powders, foundations, bronzers, shadows and liners work for everyone, whether your look is all natural, classic feminine or daring diva. Here, Laura offers her top favorites along with how-to tips for application. Now let’s get back to the baked basics!

Radiant Skin: “It’s absolutely the foundation to feeling and looking great,” says Laura. Say goodbye to dull, flawed skin with Laura Geller’s Balance-n-Bronze. This innovative and multi-tasking split compact contains a color-correcting baked powder foundation and bronzer in one! Swirls of soft tan, yellow and cream work to correct ruddiness, brighten sallowness and balance the overall complexion. Its silky texture allows for buildable coverage without caking or creasing.

Laura’s Lesson: “Use the balance half of the compact all over the face for breathable coverage and to even out the complexion, then apply the bronzer half where the sun would naturally hit your face for a gorgeous, yet completely natural (and safe!) sun-kissed glow.”

Flawless Flush: It is hot in here or it just us?! Radiate the youthful glow of a “just flushed” cheek with Laura Geller’s Blush-n-Brighten, a mélange of pink, cream, berry and gold hues that blend together to create the perfect shade of color for a smooth, even and natural-looking radiance.

Laura’s Lesson: “To give the face a polished, professional look, apply whatever blush is left on the brush to your eyelids right over your eyeshadow. It’s what we always do on-set to lift and perfect!”

$35.00

Pretty Peepers: Here’s looking at you! Eyes shine with Laura Geller’s Marble Cakes Baked Eyeshadow & Liner Duo. The split dome features Laura’s Baked Cake Eyeliner and a coordinating eyeshadow designed to enhance eye color and define eye shape. Rich in hydrating Jojoba Oil, the formula glides onto the eyes for effortless application, while the accompanying dual-ended brush ensures professional-looking results.

Laura’s Lesson: “Apply the eyeliner wet for an even more dramatic payoff that won’t budge!”

$26.00

About Laura Geller’s Baked Collection: Laura’s unique Baked Makeup is made exclusively for her in Italy. Each luxurious product starts out as a highly pigmented liquid that is infused with a variety of vibrant, skin flattering colors. The colors are then swirled together and “baked” for 24 hours in terracotta pans to protect the integrity, rich texture and vibrancy. No two products are exactly alike; however, each will deliver breathtaking, breathable coverage and unparalleled blendability! Each product in the collection is free of mineral oil and formulated with age-fighting antioxidants Centella Asiatica and White Tea. Each and every baked product offers micro-layers of skin perfecting coverage for a fresh, luminous and naturally radiant look.

My 14 Day Activia Challenge

As I get older I am realizing my overall health contributes as much to looking good as the tools in my makeup box. When I am taking care of my self with a healthy diet and exercise it shows in my skin and overall mood. Part of trying to take care of myself  I recently accepted an offer to take part in a Activia Challenge. I will be eating the yogurt for two weeks and sharing my thoughts with you all. How does it taste, and most importantly do I feel better at the end of my experiment.

The challenge itself comes at a perfect time after a long summer of late nights and poor food choices my body is feeling the effects of the excess and I need to get back on track. I love yogurt but I am trying to get back in shape post baby and need to watch my calories. Last night when I hit the store to stock up on Activia for my challenge  I was excited to find a “light” version with only 70 calories a serving and 0 grams of fat!

Now on to the actual yogurt to be honest I was a little worried it would taste funny. I am starting with light peach flavor and its delicious, perfect peach flavors with big chunks of fruit. I am looking forward to seeing how I feel throughout this challenge and sharing my thoughts with you all.  I will keep you up to date on my journey and if any of you have tried Activia I would love to hear your thoughts.

Dannon Activia is a delicious way to help naturally regulate your digestive system: clinically proven to be effective in two weeks, when eaten daily; contains a unique culture … Bifidus Regularis exclusive toDannon!
