Extend Your Summer Glow with Infinity Sun!

Sadly Summer is long gone, but that doesn’t mean your tan has to go along with it! You can have the same golden glow as Guliana Rancic who counts on Infinity Sun to keep her glowing and gorgeous on the red carpet.

Keep your skin healthy & hydrated all year long with the full array of products from Infinity Sun. Glow on the Go is your best friend for maintaining a sun-kissed radiance in the convenience of your own home. While the Infinity Exfoliant and Extend work together to prime your skin to perfect condition.

I love this line and the Infinity Sun tanning spray is really easy to use and provides a great glow. The spray makes it easy to get even coverage all over and I love how fast it dries. With one application I have a great glow that evens out skin imperfections and looks like a real tan with no strange smells or fake colors. 
Infinity Sun™ Glow on the Go Bronze all natural, anti-aging sunless tanning aerosol.
Containing only the most natural ingredients, without harmful propellants or alcohol, Infinity Sun Glow on the go is propelled by air, so it is as safe for the skin as it is for the environment. Enriched with essential oils, antioxidants and botanicals, your skin will be left soft, supple and radiant. Brown with a slightly pink undertone that casts a naturl brown color that looks as if you have just come in from basking in the sun. Suits all skin tones.

I wasn’t quite sure how this would exfoliate without the usual exfoliant texture. What I noticed first was how amazing it smells, the pineapple scent is insanely good! And even without an abrasive the Infinity Exfoliant left my skin really smooth and perfectly prepped my skin for its sunless tan.
Infinity Exfoliant
This gentle, skin-renewing BODY MASQUE polishes and exfoliates with natural, non-abrasive pineapple fruit enzyme. By removing non-vital skin cells at the end of their lifecycle, our exfoliant smoothes the surface of the skin, leaving only young and healthy skin cells to exhibit a flawless, long-lasting sunless tan. Available in a beautifully packaged 200 ml jar.

One of the most important parts of maintaining your sunless tan is keeping your skin moisturized! The Infinity Extend absorbs quickly and leaves my skin silky smooth and helps me keep my sunless tan looking great all week.
Infinity Extend
A super-hydrating serum containing our highest quality antioxidants, botanicals and DHA. This product is designed to keep the skin soft and silky-looking and to extend the tan for an additional 2-3 days. Available in a beautifully packaged 200 ml bottle.

The Infinity Sun Avance Balme’s are great! I am all about scent and each of the balmes smell truly amazing my favorite has to be the Vanilla Bean. I love that they are organic so I don’t have to worry about what I am using on my lips and can use them on my kids too. They leave my lips feeling great all day and I like to apply right before bed no more wind, or cold chapped lips!

New! Illamasqua launches two new US exclusive colors!

Illamasqua US Exclusive Blue Nail Varnishes

From the runway shows of New York and London to city street styles, shades of blue continue to adorn the talons of the style makers and trendsetters alike. Inspired by the hottest color of the season, Illamasqua introduces two new blue nail varnishes in the beautifully expressive shades of Noble and Cameo to be sold exclusively at Sephora and Sephora inside JCP.

Illamasqua’s Director of Product Development David Horne specifically mixed these two complementary hues to compliment Illamasqua’s range of over 50 bold shades of chip resistant, long wearing nail varnishes.

“It’s fun to play with the two shades together; I would recommend a modern french, or using Noble as an accent nail while painting the rest of the hand in Cameo. Blue nails just add the perfect pop of color!”

Prepare nails with one coat of Illamasqua Base Coast, then using the superfine brush provided, apply two coats for vibrant, rich color. Follow with Illamasqua Top Coat for a high gloss, long lasting finish.

Available exclusively at selected Sephora stores nationwide, Sephora in JCP and online at www.sephora.com from October 4, 2012

Mary Kay Fall Trends Out On The Town!

Anyone who lives in Oregon knows we survive the rain for late summer and early Fall. It doesn’t get more beautiful than Oregon in the fall, with our warm days, cool crisp evenings and the most gorgeous colors of the year.  I just want to be out everyday this time of year soaking it all in while I can. On top of loving the weather I love all the new fashion and beauty products that launch in September. I love to choose  a few new colors to my spruce up makeup palette.

I recently showed you all how to create a smoky eye using Mary Kay products. The smoky eye is one of the biggest trends is Hollywood Mystique, old school Hollywood glamour with a modern twist.

Jocelyn and I had the chance to check out Florence and the Machine at an outdoor concert (She is AMAZING). For my girls night out I was excited to try a fun smoky eye, and a soft lip color. With my fair skin I find a smoky eye a very versatile look I can start with lighter shades for day and easily kick it up a notch for a more dramatic look when I head out at night. Once I  perfect my smoky eye I love to use Mary Kay’s Ultimate Mascara it makes my lashes look great. With all the great colors in the Hollywood Mystique Mary Kay line you can find the perfect look for all your special occasions this fall.

Do you have any  beauty-must haves this Fall?
