Beauty Tip Of The Week

Beauty Tip Of The Week

If you listened to Beauty Talk With Illusions our Blog Talk Radio Show last Thursday, then you would know that we talked to Sam Fine about everything related to the makeup/beauty industry. One thing that Sam left with us is a general message that we at Illusions have been trying to get across for awhile. That simple message is this:

TIP:

Be willing to try different products from different cosmetic lines. Don't limit yourself to one line (especially makeup artists).

Total Beauty Review - YSL Parisienne Fragrance

YSL Parisienne Fragrance

I was excited to receive the new YSL Parisienne fragrance in the mail. I wasn't as excited when I tried it on my skin. The rose scent was very nice, but it didn't last all day. Not only that, the rose scent did not smell as nice as it started to fade away. When it comes to fragrance, I tend to like vanilla and more subtle fragrances. Although this was subtle, I found it to be very 'loud'. For more reviews, click here...

Total Beauty Review

L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

The moment I saw the brush of the L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara, I knew that it was going to be an interesting experience. I tried the mascara and instantly fell in love with it. The spherical brush attacks every single lash individually. It even allows me to apply mascara to lower lashes and lashes in the inner corners. There are no lashes left behind. This has been by far my favorite mascara of all time!! To read more reviews on this and other great L'Oreal products, click here ...

Beauty Tip Of The Week

Beauty Tip of The Week

I was asked by a friend of mine about how to control oily skin. Here are my thoughts:
To control oil, you must first take a look at your skin care.

TIP:
Make sure that you are using a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for oily skin. You may also want to try exfoliating your skin at least 2 times per week. On a daily basis, you can try using a mattifying gel to wear under your makeup or alone on the skin.

L'Oreal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara

When I received this product, I was excited to try it because I've seen the product and promotional photos for the product in the mass retail stores as well as ads in the magazines. The model in the ads had the longest and fullest lashes ever I wanted my lashes to be the same. So, after I tried it, I didn't have lashes like the models' but I was definitely satisfied. The L'Oreal paris Extra Volume Collagen Mascara made my lashes longer and fuller and even a little stronger. It didn't irritate my eyes when wearing my contacts, like some mascaras and eye liners do. I am definitely happy with the product and it is now my new choice for mascara. The mascara retails for $7.95 at mass market retailers. For mor reviews on this product, click here...

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Eye

I wasn't excited about this product in whole. The am side was fine and it has an SPF 15, so that was great, but the pm side was not moisturizing at all. And to me, that's not good because I believe the moisture is needed at night. And after using it for the required amount of time, I haven't really seen a difference. The product is available at mass market retailers for a suggested retail price of $19.99. To see more reviews, click here...

Total Beauty Product Review

L'Oreal Paris Body Expertise: Sublime Bronze Luminous Bronzer Self Tanning Lotion

I tested the product where I could. It seemed to work well, but I am not in need of a tan. My body is bronzed naturally. :-) I loved the fresh scent of the bronzer. I did notice that it contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid, so if wearing, be sure to wear a sunscreen to prevent sunburn. A bronzer is not something that I will continue to use on myself, but I will definitely use it on my clients when the opportunity presents itself. Read more...

L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System: UV Protect Spray

Anything from the L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care system is going to be a winner for me. The UV protect spray has a wonderful fragrance...Rosemary Mint. Its lightweight and refreshing. I love it because it gives my hair added protection and the moisture that it needs to prevent breakage. Two thumbs up!!!

Beauty Tip Of The Week

When brow hairs are sparse, brush them in an upward direction with a brow brush. Look to see where they need to be filled in. You can use a brow powder, pencil, or wax.

TIP:
Never use BLACK powder or pencil to fill in your brows. Black is too harsh of a color. If you dont believe this, test it out. Use a black product one day and then try a dark brown the next day.

Beauty Tip of The Week

Clean Out Your Makeup Bags, Drawers, Pouches, etc.

Its time to clean out your makeup bags. If you have products that are more than a year old, its time to make some changes. Get rid of any mascaras that are older than a month. If you have it longer than a month and it's sitting in your bag or drawer, then you are not using it. If you are not using it, then it's definitely not good. Take inventory and start cleaning house!!!

Total Beauty Review - Herbal Essences Toussle Me Softly

Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly

I wasn't exactly excited when I received these products in the mail. They are nothing like the products that I use on my hair (so I thought). The products promised to 'achieve the tousled look from wet to set'. After using them, I can't say that I was impressed. My hair didn't feel as soft and manageable as it normally does. To be very honest, these products are just not for my hair type. To get a better idea of what The Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly products can do, check out, www.totalbeauty.com/previews.

Total Beauty Review - Caress Exfoliating Body Wash & Beauty Bar

Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash & Beauty Bar

I love this body wash and beauty bar. They make my skin feel really soft and smooth. I love the gentle feel of the exfoliating beads. They both have the fragrance of brown sugar and karite butter which moisturizes the skin. The product is called 'Evenly Gorgeous, but I didn't see any difference in my skin tone. It sure felt good though. For more reviews, log on to http://www.totalbeauty.com/productreviews

Total Beauty Review - Q-Tips Vanity Packs

Q-Tips Review

Qtips Vanity Packs

I was shocked when I received 4 pretty boxs of Qtips cotton swabs in the mail. I thought, "They are cotton swabs, What do I do with these'? The new cotton swabs have more cotton on them. If you are one of those women who are on a budget and don't want to spend alot of money on makeup brushes, these are for you. They hold alot of product very well and are perfect for cleaning up messes around the eyes and lips. Try them out, I recommend them.

Beauty Tip Of The Week


If you are experiencing 'Cystic acne' please make sure that you are cleansing your face no more than twice a day. Over cleansing may aggravate the acne.

Here are a few preventive measures that you can take in preventing cystic acne:

1) Cleanse your skin properly with the proper products
2) Reduce your stress levels
3) Be careful of any food sensitivities
4) Make sure you understand any prescription drugs that you are taking

One of my actresses on 'Drop Dead Diva' is experiencing 'Cystic Acne', so I thought I would share this tip with you all.

Beauty Tip Of The Week

TIP:
Don't get stuck using the same foundations year after year. If you love what you are using, great. Keep using it. But, it's always good to change the type (liquid, cream, etc) of foundation that you are using based on your skin and the seasons. During the Spring/Summer, you may need something thats lighter in texture (liquid). During the Fall/Winter, your skin may need a little extra moisture. In this case, a cream would work. The most important thing to remember is, keep trying until you discover what works best for you.

A New Favorite: Kaia Bamboo Facial Cloths

For those of us with sensitive skin, there is new facial cleansing cloth in town. Introducing the Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths from Kaia Naturals. Made out of 100% natural bamboo, these unbleached clothes can be used as an eye makeup remover, a toner, and a facial cleanser. The clothes are packed with some wonderful ingredients to include a blend of pure citrus oils, thats where the lovely fragrance comes from, Canadian honey, and sunflower seed oil. When I first tried them, I was attracted to the fragrance. Thats always the first step for me, if it doesn't smell nice, I am hesitant to try it. It has such a refreshing fragrance, very light, but nice. The cloths are very gentle on the skin which is also important to me, because if it doen't feel right, thats not going to work either. I"ve tried several makeup wipes on my clients, but now I have a new favorite which I will be using on my clients as well as myself. The bamboo facial cleansing cloths retail for $17.99 and there are 30 per pack. Check out http://www.kaianaturals.com/ for more information.

True Shimmer

I was a little curoius when I received the new Chapstick lip balms in the mail. I thought, "Wow", Chapstick is doing something different. They did something different alright. They added shimmer to the balms as well as different flavors. I tried all of the ones that I received. I didn't like the shimmer in the lip balm because it is very noticeable. It's not at all subtle the way the label stated. It also left my lips looking 'white'. Didn't like that at all!! For more reviews on this product, log on to http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

H.I.P. - 'High Intensity Pigment'

High Intensity Pigment was what I was expecting when I applied the color presso lip gloss, but instead I got thick, sticky gloss all over my lips. The texture of the gloss was too thick for me. It was not as bad as some lines, but I'm used to nice moisture in a gloss and not something thats going to make my hair stick to my lips. I loved the color. It was #182, Trendy. I can't really say much more about this one because it didn't really impress me. For more reviews on L'Oreal HIP, visit http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

L'Oreal HIP is kinda 'hip'!

L'Oreal Hip High Intensity Pigments - Kohl Eyeliner

I received a couple of cool looking products from L'Oreal HIP that I enjoyed trying out. The colors intrigued me. I received a navy kohl eyeliner that I use all the time. I wasn't so sure at first when I saw the felt tip applicator. I didn't know what to with it. I wasn't sure if it needed to be wet or not. After clearing up the confusion, I loved it. I totally recommend the eyeliner. It comes in other great colors like gold, burgundy, teal, etc. For more reviews on L'Oreal Hip and other beauty products, log on to http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews

Beauty Tip Of The week

Whenever your skin has had too much yellow or olive foundation, warm it up with some red foundation.

IMATS - What a BLAST!!!

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS)- Pasadena, CA affectionately called, 'The Show' is two days (June 20-21,2009) of pure joy (for me anyway). The show is produced by Makeup Artist Magazine (Publisher Michael Key). Before I go any further, I must clear up something. IMATS has been around for more than 10 years. It is currently being confused with another show produced by the other Michael. The Makeup Show is produced by Michael DeVellis of the Powder Group. That show has been around for a few years now. What's so special about IMATS (The Show) is that it is really for those who love the 'art' of makeup. If you want to create creatures and apply bald caps this show is for you. If you want to create great beauty fantasy looks, this show is for you. It covers every aspect of makeup. Although, I do wish that it would incorporate a little more special effects and tone down a little on some of the beauty makeup companies. Don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of companies with the same product (ex. Mineral makeup with glitter and shimmer shadows and pigment). All in all, this has been the best IMATS show in a long time. Great job!!

To correct a short chin, begin below the lip and highlight down to the end of the chin. This will give the appearance of an elongated chin.

To correct an elongated chin, shade underneath the chin in a darker shade of foundation. This will shorten the chin.

Beauty Tip Of The Week

I was walking through the mall on Saturday, headed to F2O (Fresh To Order) and I saw a Latino woman who looked to be in her early to mid 20's. Her lips were lined with BLACK eyeliner. UGH!!!!!! Thats a no,no in my book! Here are the reasons why this is not a good idea:

1) It doesn't look good at all
2) Its dated. Woman of color were doing this in the 80's. It's 2009!!! Stop it!
3) It doesn't complement anyone's lips.
4) Eyeliner is meant for the eyes and not the lips.
5) There is not ONE cosmetics company that makes black lipliner (if there is, please let me know)

TIP:
Please do not wear Black eyeliner on your lips!
I did not want to go there with you all, but I had to!!!
