Mally’s Pro-Trick Tips for eyes

  • First, apply the shadow base which will allow any color you use to be completely bullet proof.
  • Then, apply the shadow of your choice.
  • Use these shades all over the lid, in the crease, and even along the lower lash line for a smoldering look.
  • Easily lighten or deepen with the shade modifiers right on top of the shadow.

New you for the holidays? Organic inspired beauty gifts items

Saturday, December 22nd, 2012

Since many of us have particular beauty issues we focus on wouldn’t be only fair to give the gift that keeps on giving. Consider your giftee and think about  their lifestyle. The two in mind  for me were making changes and  I wanted find gifts based on beauty needs I’ve heard them discuss and keep the gifts in the natural relm.  As both are making the transitions to vegetarians. If you are in the same boat I’d suggest any of these items.

The Gift of beautiful hair 

I have several friend that are constantly at battle or something with their hair . Frizzy, limp, lacking volume are just a few of them.A gift like this fromJONATHAN product  will be perfet. Jonathon offers these fantastic hair kits to address our most common hair woes. Each kit is under $18.00.What I like  about this line by JONATHAN is the fact that the products are all 100% vegan This would also be on target for the holiday grab bag limit of $20.

Jonathan Hair gift sold @Duane Reade

Another item by JONATHAN that can gift beautiful hair  for the long haul is the Beauty Water Purification System.( .$95) Yes , a system. How does it work?Basically it is installed to your shower just like any other shower head. But this one takes your shower water and turns it into hydrating pure PH balanced water. It is designed to remove synthetic toxins , metals , chlorine and other damaging items from your water. In turn this new PH Level will help keep your in tact as it strips away build up and leaves just  soft healthy hair  with lasting color.  The filtered system will last for six months before needing a replacement. (refills $55.)

Side benefit : Your skin will love the new PH balanced shower.

Giving the gift of good face

As for cosmetics a brand that has come to my attention is 100%Pure Cosmetics. Taking a cue from the name the cosmetics are  vegan, natural ,and organic made with  fruit pigments. Many of the products,such as the a beauty editor favorite 100% pure check stain is infused with anti aging vitamins and antioxidants. Two of my faves are the  All you need gift box ($59.) and the  sland Kiss palette.

All you need gift box

This box includes:

• Fruit Pigmented Pretty Naked Trio
• Fruit Pigmented Double Ended Lip Gloss
• Black Pearl Creamstick Eye Liner
• Fruit Pigmented Black Tea Mascara
• Perfect Naked Berry Lip Cremestick

Island Kiss palette
