Marc Jacobs Beauty

Marc Jacobs has created a beauty line and the products are pretty amazing…
Great reviews coming from the Remedy Concealer Pen which is made with a blend of Theine, coconut water, and vitamin extracts that hydrate, nourish, correct, and conceal beautifully! You feel a cooling sensation when applying the concealer, which helps to de-puff swollen eyes and the concealer covers dark circles to give you a fresh eyed look.

The eye palettes are also all the rage, which offer long-lasting true pigmented color and are super pretty:

And not to be forgotten, the Marc Jacobs Magic Marc’er Pen which has a calligraphy pen tip for precise lines and has awesome staying power.  The waterproof formula was developed in Japan to be the shiniest, blackest black liner in existence:

The complete line can be found on marcjacobsbeauty.com and also at Sephora stores and online Sephora stores.

Rip Tide by LaLa Lacquers

decided to go for an “under the sea” kind of color today… I used my own glitter top coat that I made called Rip Tide (found on my Etsy shop).

Ooh La La (Lacquers!)

Next Friday I have my first show as a vendor…I am selling some of my hand made nail lacquer that I make and sell online.  (The name of the line is LaLa Lacquers and is found on http://etsy.com/shop/LaLaLacquers  ) . I managed to get in the “lab” this week and produce a good amount of polishes to bring along.  Here are some (not so great) photos of a few of the color samples, all of which will be made available for sale on Etsy:

DIY: coconut and flower hair oil treatment and a pineapple foot rub

               

Coconut oil and flower hair oil treatment:

(This will need to be prepared the night before you plan to use it)

You will need:

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup fresh flower petals
• 2 tablespoons rose water

Directions:

1. Bring the 1/2 cup of coconut oil to a boil in a small pan
2. Add the rose water
3. Add the fresh flower petals of your choice
4. Let return to a boil for three minutes
5. Let the flowers steep in the oil overnight
6. In the morning, strain the oil through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into an airtight container
7. When ready to oil your hair, rub a few tablespoons in your hair and wrap tight in a towel
8. Let sit for about 20 minutes, then shampoo and rinse as normal

Pineapple Foot Rub

This one is easy as pie:

• Take 1 cup of fresh pineapple and puree in a food processor
• Take the pineapple mixture and spread and rub all over feet including your heels and around your nails (you may feel a tingle)
• After 10 minutes rinse off with warm water and pat dry
