You Got Me Blushing ~ Springtime Beauty Purchase

By Melody Iafelice on March 23rd, 2012   /   Uncategorized   /   Leave a comment

Hello Gorgeous Gals,

Ah blush, such a favorite spring  beauty item and a fantastic way to perk up  ‘tired of winter’ complexions. With so many brands, shades and finishes to choose from where does a girl begin? Do you want a ‘pow’ of color, barely there, shimmer, matte, powder, cream…goodness, see what I mean? Find a picture in a magazine of a gal wearing a cheek shade you like, bring it to the store. This picture will help them to visualize along with you, while working specifically with your features and skin-tone.

Now be sure to stay open minded…as formulas and tools play a big part in the result. (back of the hand test is never a true representation of any makeup item) Try it while in store, the staff can show you a trick or two and the right tool to make it work just for you.  Above all else; remember it’s only makeup, have fun!

A few of my fave formulas: 

#1 ELF Bronzer Blush Duo ($3US) a dupe of NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo

  Oh so pretty tropical brights Cargo Cosmetics ($26CAD) (shown in Rome @ ebeauty.ca)

 

NARS Cream Blush (Cactus Flower shown, a personal fave. $34CAD Sephora, The Bay, Murale)

Illamasqua Cream Blushes  Obsessed with the whole  line!  Thx to my friend & fellow MUA Diana in the UK for shipping these babies over. At select Sephora stores in the US (not in Canada)

BECCA Lip & Cheek Creme (entire brand is so beautiful, LOVE) $33CAD @ ebeauty.ca

Revlon Matte Blush (approx $10CAD) Barely there color, perfect w/smoky eye & nude lip

 

A little goes a long way… $29CAD @ Sephora

 

Blush is a such great way to perk up the complexion for any season. 

What’s your fave blush brand and shade?

Ciao Bellas,

Until Next Time ~Melody xo

{contest closed} TRIA Hair Removal Laser ~ Giveaway

By Melody Iafelice on March 15th, 2012   /   Uncategorized   /   16 Comments

CONTEST IS CLOSED

Hello Gorgeous,

I have been using the at home TRIA Hair Removal Laser for the past couple of months. So impressed that it took just a couple of treatments for me to start seeing results. I use it at my convenience every couple of weeks for a few minutes, there is no office appt needed and it’s easier to use than I thought it would be. You do have to shave before a treatment to prep for the laser but as time goes on shaving becomes less frequent between treatments as there is less hair. By early summer I should be well on my way to zero shaving. Very excited to partner up with TRIA to share one for a give-away, a $395 US retail value!

“The FDA-cleared TRIA Hair Removal Laser is the first and only laser for hair removal available for at-home use. Easy to use and with 5 comfort settings, TRIA’s laser for hair removal is guaranteed to deliver permanent results. Unlike other at-home hair removal methods, the TRIA Hair Removal Laser uses the same laser technology used by professionals for in-office laser hair removal for permanent results in the comfort and privacy of the home, at a fraction of the cost. See results with just 2 treatments; and imagine permanent freedom from endless shaving and waxing in as little as 6 months.

  • Dermatologist recommended for permanent results
  • Clinically proven to eliminate the need for regular shaving and waxing
  • FDA-cleared. Proven safe and effective”

CONTEST:

  1. Please be sure to follow each ‘entry’ direction correctly
  2. When tweeting about this giveaway, you must use the wording provided as it includes the link.
  3. Open to Canada & US residents (excluding PO Boxes and Military addresses

NYC, Me & 24hrs

By Melody Iafelice on March 12th, 2012   /   Uncategorized   /   Leave a comment

Hello Gorgeous Gals…

Recently, I was whisked off to NYC to be introduced to the TRIA Blue Light for Acne (post coming soon) I was only in town for less than 24hrs, so I missed out on some potential shopping, however my dear shopping companion CC (also known as: credit card) was happy. Instead of talking product this post, thought I’d share the view from my windows.

Leaving Toronto,the CN Tower illuminated in purple.

 

The sitting area of my suite, a retro style/feel in the modern London Hotel. I arrived at about 11:30 pm so no time for pre- evenings drinks out of the mini bar ; )

Oh yes, a luxury…King size bed all to myself (but I still sleep on my ‘side’ of the bed, that I would at home) Funny how some habits don’t change.

  Let it be known I am very nervous of heights, and don’t get to close to any window over 3 stories : ) So here I am taking pics right at the window at 151 West 54th Street  from 21 stories (yes I know there are even higher buildings) My meeting the next morning was in a gorgeous suite at a ‘stomach butterfly making’ 53 stories high & the view…spectacular)

 

I’m an early morning person, where ever I am, so I wrapped up in a fluffy hotel robe and threw open the curtains of my room…to see the city getting started on its day. But first a straight out my window view of  the roof tops. I had seen the water towers before, but this time I probably noticed them more because a friend of mine who had just been to NYC before me, had taken lots of pictures of the city including the water towers only to accidentally delete them : ( So Scott, while these are no where near what you had…they made me think of you.

Now I’m brave enough to look down at the street, so exciting seeing NYC and its people getting their morning started. The energy is contagious and they were also having great weather, so after my meeting I did enjoy a walk to catch some of the energy, if only for a short time before heading home.

Dear NYC: I will be back again soon. ~Melody XO

Ciao Bellas,

Until Next Time ~ Melody xo
