JO MOUSSELLI BEAUTY SKIN RENEWING CONCEALER

Brighten, contour, and rejuvenate skin every time you apply your makeup with skin renewing concealer. Created by Jo Mousselli, Co-Founder of the acclaimed eyelash extension company, Xtreme Lashes, the concealer is formulated to hydrate, protect, and soothe skin while offering long-wearing medium coverage. With continued use, skin appears visibly smoother, plumper, brighter, firmer, and more hydrated.   This Skin Renewing Concealer is available in four fabulous shades: Fair, Neutral, Beige (New) and Mocha (New).

Skin-Renewing-Concealer

Skin Renewing™ Concealer targets visible aging via a three-pronged approach:

 

·        Corrective Prevention: Halt aging deep within the skin with Carnosine (an encapsulated dipeptide), Vitamin E, and Milk Thistle Fruit Extract. Delivered via a liposomal complex, the trio of nutrients fights signs of aging by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, revitalizing skin, increasing elasticity, and preventing the stiffening and breakdown of skin’s natural collagen.

·        Hydration & Anti-Inflammation: A blend of Australian Myrtle Oil and Bisabolol, a derivative of German Chamomile, offers deep hydration and inhibits inflammation, preventing redness. Its natural antimicrobial properties help soothe redness and heal blemishes.

·        Youthful Radiance: Perfect for the under-eye area, the concealer also helps counteract the look of dark shadows, lines and wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Light-diffusing pigments help even skin tone, giving your skin a flawless finish. The waterproof formula is also long-wear, ensuring your skin stays vibrant all day.

WHAT THEY COST: $36 each

WHERE TO FIND THEM: Visit www.xtremelashes.comwww.nordstrom.com, www.tricoci.com, and Nordstrom Spas

How To Throw A Labor Day Party – Limor Suss

Lifestyle and Entertaining Expert, Limor Suss shares tips for the perfect Labor Day Party

 

IMG_2439

 

LABOR DAY PARTY TIPS

 

  1. How do you select a theme for your Labor Day Party?

Pick a theme that’s simple to put together and utilizes items you have in your house already so you’re not going out and buying a bunch of stuff.

The theme all depends on what type of party you want to throw. If you’re hosting a casual backyard barbecue, then the theme should be just as simple, but if you want to throw a lavish cocktail affair, then it’s fun to be a little more creative.

  1. What’s the best location to celebrate with family and friends?

An outdoor location is definitely best, especially if the weather is nice. Labor Day is one of your last chances to celebrate the summer with friends and family, so having a party in a park or someone’s backyard is preferable.

  1. In your opinion, should the menu be potluck meal or grilled delights?

It really depends on the size of your party. If you’re having a small, intimate gathering, it’s nice to give your guests a home grilled meal, but for larger parties, I like to do a combination of potluck and day-of grilling.

  1. What are some popular activities to help create a fun environment?

Setting up different games and sports for the kids is always fun. You want to make sure they are having fun while the adults are socializing. I also love a good grill-off – it’s fun to have the self-proclaimed “best grillers” show off their skills and the results are delicious.

  1. Should there be a dress code or come as you are?

You don’t have to have a dress code because you want everyone to be comfortable, but one thing I like to do is create a custom t-shirt for my friends and family to wear – I like to use CustomInk.com because they make the design process really easy. Having a custom t-shirt that everyone can wear is a great way to bring everyone together as one big family, and it makes a nice surprise gift. Your group selfies will also look really cool if you’re all wearing the same t-shirt.

  1. Where can we go to learn more tips?

Head over to my blog TrendsGirl.com, I’m always sharing great tips for planning family gatherings.

Macys Fall 2015 Lookbook

 

millennial_girls_10 millennial_girls_9 millennial_girls_7 millennial_girls_6 millennial_girls_2 millennial_girls_3 millennial_girls_1

TRENDS FALL 2015 

COUNTRY LIFE

Autumnal hues. Effortless silhouettes. Fresh patterns. The great outdoors beckon to be explored. Utility meets luxe with cool outerwear, flight pants, jumpsuits and the inclusion of rustic-inspired heritage fabrics like plaids and tweeds.

GLOBAL ATTRACTIONS

The inspiration for Fall’s worldly fashion: the people, prints, places and patterns. You’ll see eye-catching blanket fabrics for ponchos, while coats and utility jackets have a collectible feel. Embellishment is at the forefront with an art and craft vibe to make every piece unique.

WHITE MAGIC

Opt for this season’s collection of cool & crisp neutrals. White is the color of the moment. Layers are oversized and creatively reworked. Cocoon silhouettes lend a cozy feeling with soft textures and amplified volume. Midi skirts and oversized knits inject minimalism into easy looks, while new quilting and padding bring a fresh spin to casual chic.

BLACK MODERNISM

Sharp. Sophisticated. Stunning. There’s never been a better time to head over to the dark side. There’s a whole new attitude to head-to-toe black. Fabrics and texture are key with an unexpected combination of high-tech and luxe materials. Prints are a reflection of modern art, photo and hyper-realism, while athleisure silhouettes are combined with sleek asymmetric must-haves: the stacked set, the mod shift, the track pant, the new sweat and the bomber.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS

As fashion’s latest muse, it’s all about creating your personal sense of style. A kaleidoscope of unexpected, vibrant hues are the new color therapy. Pop art sets the mood for graphic, virtually surrealistic prints. Asymmetric shapes, sparkle bursts and fun furs beget the trend’s wild side.

PURPLE PASSION

The color purple reigns everywhere this season — and it’s not just for key statement piece. From the palest of lilacs to the boldest amethyst, this alluring hue is having a crowning moment this season.

GOLD

All that glitters is gold this holiday season! From luxe chain-link jewelry and sparkling handbags to metallic sweaters and sequined frocks, each item on your wish list is guaranteed to have the Midas touch. Come party time, make a shining statement with this 24-karat color in celestial motifs, shimmery dresses and embellished accessories.
