Everyday Minerals has created a Trick or Treat mineral make-up kit for Halloween which is not only perfect for the spooky holiday, it works perfectly with this season’s plum color palette. In addition, the Trick or Treat kit offers the perfect amount of sparkle for the upcoming holiday season; love it!

The Trick or Treat kit from Everyday Minerals offers a combination of purple shades and silver. The shimmering eye shadow can easily be worn with fall 2011’s color palette as well as applied heavily for a spooky, Halloween night of fright. In addition to the color palette, Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit features black eyeliner; the hottest trend in make-up right now. Fabulous!

Everyday Minerals is an amazing beauty company which creates mineral make-up that is organic, vegan and eco-friendly; how very Bay Area and eco-chic! This could be one reason why we love them so much 

*I tested the Trick or Treat kit and it was amazing. The “Mystic Night” eye shadow, which is a pretty, shimmering plum worked perfectly with my purple, blue and black fall apparel. The mineral make-up is easy to apply lightly, for the perfect daytime look as well as applied heavier to create a fabulous, evening face. The “Weeping Willow” matte eye shadow is a slightly darker shade of purple and is really dramatic; making it perfect for Halloween or any upcoming, evening holiday events.

The “Bollywood” blush from the Trick or Treat kit is a pale, peachy shade which can be worn by light to medium skin tones. The pale nature of “Bollywood” does not compete with the “Mystic Night” eye shimmering shadow or the slightly darker, “Weeping Willow” matte eye shadow; allowing the eyes to really pop.

Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit also comes with a great white eye shadow; “Floating Feathers” which is perfect for creating spooky, ghostly eyes for Halloween, yet can easily integrate into any Fashionistas’ eye shadow wardrobe.

Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit is priced at a mere $14 and can easily be worn with fall attire right now as well as make the perfect Halloween face. To learn more, please visit everydayminerals.com

LisaBerck handbags: created from a miracle

 in Handbags  tagged fall 2011 / LisaBerck by

LisaBerck designs an amazing collection of handbags; both her patented “B Bag” which is a cross body, mini bag designed to carry essentials, hands-free, as well as more traditional and on-trend handbags such as hobos. Interestingly enough, Lisa Berck did not set out to become a handbag designer by trade; she “accidentally” became one.

Lisa Berck worked as a sales manager for a construction equipment company where she enjoyed a good salary and job security. Unfortunately, she was injured while on-site at work and was forced to go on disability as well as endure daily pain. To make matters worse, Lisa Berck was soon diagnosed with more than one disease as well as other physical injuries. She was in pain and not feeling very healthy. To lift her spirits and keep herself as healthy as possible, she and her husband began taking short walks in 2009. Lisa Berck discovered that it was impossible to find a handbag for her walks which was small and hands-free yet convenient enough to carry her keys, cell phone and ID card.

This need for a mini bag which was lightweight and hands-free, inspired Lisa Berck to cut up a patent leather handbag from her closet and design her own bag. The result? An amazing handbag which was soon highly sought after by anyone who saw her wearing it. She began making the handbags for friends and then turned it into a viable business which is growing every month!

LisaBerck’s handbags and “B Bags” have become a favorite of celebrities and Fashionistas everywhere. The detachable chain strap on the “B Bags” is easy to adjust and allows the handbag to be worn cross body or as a shoulder bag. Lisa Berck’s collection is unique yet still on-trend for the fall season with the use of metallics and highly sought-after embellishments such as tassels. All of her handbags are made from fine lambskin, suede and leather. For more information about Lisa Berck handbags, please visit lisaberck.com
