Everyday Minerals Trick or Treat kit is perfect for Halloween and the holidays

 in Beauty  tagged everyday minerals / eye make-up / fall 2011 / halloween / reviews by

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

Cutler Shine Tattoo adds sleek shine and control to dull summer hair

 in Beauty / Hair Care  tagged cutler / reviews by

Everyone loves summer. Let’s face it. The sun is shining, the weather is warm and the beaches are screaming for visitors. In addition to trips to the beach, our hair finds itself immersed in chlorinated swimming pools, salt water or baking in the sun at a noontime picnic. Before long, the shine fades away, color looks flat and the terrible task of making summer hair looking good begins. Ho-hum. . .

Never fear! Cutler Specialist Shine Tattoo is here! The easiest and quickest way to make dull, summer hair shiny and smooth again is with Cutler Specialist Shine Tattoo. We tested the easy to spray, “Shine Tattoo” on chlorinated hair, sun damaged hair and salt water damaged hair and voila! When applied to damp hair which is either blow-dried or air dried, the damaged hair looked shiny and healthy again! Although the product does not return color to its’ original state, the Shine Tattoo does make hair shiny and healthy looking. Fabulous!

Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy

 in Beauty / Fragrance  tagged nocturne alchemy / reviews by

Nocturne Alchemy is a niche perfumer who has designed an entire fragrance collection around Egyptian mythology. Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy is the perfumers’ signature scent and embodies the mystery behind ancient Egypt through a warm and slightly spicy fragrance experience that evokes memories of Pyramids and Obelisks while offering the perfect fragrance note combination for the dry and warm Silicon Valley weather.

Nocturne Alchemy’ Eternal Egypt starts off with a mildly spicy and warm scent. After about thirty minutes the mild spices fade into the background and a warm mixture of amber, which is both rich and complex, takes you through the day. When the sun goes down, Nocturne Alchemy’s Eternal Egypt leaves you with a warm and smooth, musky dry-down.

Fragrance notes: White amber, red Egyptian musk, Egyptian amber, Sands of Egypt

Although Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy features a warm combination of notes, the mild spice and medium-heaviness allow the fragrance to be worn in both warm and cool weather.

Nocturne Alchemy’s Eternal Egypt is available in both a 5 ml bottle and a sample or “Skarab” form. The 5 ml bottle is currently priced at $13. For more information about how to purchase from Nocturne Alchemy, please visit nocturnealchemy.com.
