It’s a Frosty Summer!

It’s a Frosty Summer!

Ciao bella,

Everywhere I look, it's Frosted and Glittering make-up! From Lipstick to Eye shadow to Face powder. Here are some tried and true Frosted products!

I know it’s always been around, this Frost, however, more now than ever before. Starting with "LipSense," an amazing Lip Color that stays on and on until you have to remove it! Opal and Pearl are two lovely Frosty colors. All kits come with remover or order separately from loveyourlips0405@gmail.com ... Judy ... Distributor #310137.

Shellac ... the nail color you cure professionally has come out with a divine New color that glistens in the light, called "Safety Pin!"

I've seen Frosted and Glittering Eyeliner from "Pat McGrath Labs." The Gold and Bronze liners are out of this world. As soon as a batch is made... it's sold out! All their products come packaged in a clear-sided pouch with one side Gold and filled with Gold sequins. Hard to come by!

Charlotte Tilsbury is a wonderful make-up line. Very classy and a well-made product. I bought a marvelous Frosty Powder "Skin Gliding Highlighter" that brings out the smoothness of any complexion. I'd almost say it's an illusion-type look! It defies fine lines. Amazing!

Then there are other Highlighters called "Haloscope" from Glossier ... coming in 3 shades. The newest one is Moonstone ... a white frost, great on brow line. Topaz ... I use as a blush and blend in with a brush. Then there's Quartz ... a wonderful highlighter for temples, Cupid's bow, and De Colletage! Always blend!

Cailyn has a Rose Gold "Just Mineral Eye Polish" that’s quite different from the same old colors!

Also in a Rose Gold is a product from tarte ... tarteist Pro...a double-sided eyeliner with one side a Glitter Rose Gold and the other side a Frosted Rose Gold!! Night and day!

jane iredale "Skin Care Makeup" ... has out a Frosty eyeshadow/primer called Smooth Affair that I have in a creamy Lemon ... I just adore it. Smooth and easy to apply! Great for Brow Line.

Bobbi Brown has out an "Illuminating Powder" in Nude Finish ... works great over make-up or alone. Always apply with a brush!

So from experience, these are some of my fave brands and colors. So get in a Frosty mood and get Frosted this summer!

Buona Giornata.

Ciao bella,

Fancy Dress

In my Disco days I owned a huge palette of Glitter pots in every color! I matched the color of glitter to every outfit I wore for a night of dancing & fun! The glitter was not only for your eyes but for anywhere and everywhere including our hair. Glitter was always all over my apartment and sheets in those days.

I use it to decorate a finger nail for the holidays or a special occasion of fancy dress. Red and green for Christmas. White to represent snow and orange for Halloween! Purple, green and gold for Mardi Gras. A light dusting of gold or pink across the decollate is quite seducing!

Glitter's luminescent and lustrous glow is attractive to the eye wherever it is placed. The reflective flecks of plastic come in varied sizes and shapes. Powdered form as well as in sprays and gel and fragranced lotions are everywhere. I always preferred the tiny micron specks of high quality cut plastic. Deriving from the polyester family rolls of this plastic film are cut to consistency and accuracy of the cut and shape, usually hexagonal. Having the uncanny ability of reflecting light as it shines off the many surfaces of each finely cut speck I rejoice to proudly admit to being a Glitter Queen! In my cosmetic stash I have collected "Tony & Tina" pencil eyeliners in every shade with the micron glitter that enhances my eyes beautifully. Green is my fav. Unfortunately as everywhere in the world of beauty there are creative differences. So with the divorce of Tony & Tiny, their eyeliner and product line no longer exists. Boo-hoo! However micron glitter rules! Quality made succeeds as well.

Our thanks for the invention of glitter go to Henry Ruschmann, a machinist in New Jersey. In 1934 he invented an efficient manner of grinding up plastics into huge amounts of glitter. His company Meadowbrook Inventions is still in business today and one of the famous makers of glitter production! A shining tribute of longevity!

So glam it up gals and put some sparkle in your life with glitter!

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America! Wishing one and all a happy, healthy New Year for 2014!
