Skin Deep

I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Beauty is only skin deep". Do you know what it means?  Here's what I found;

Meaning: Physical beauty is superficial. A pleasing exterior is no guide to a person's interior or character.

Now ponder this. If your skin was let's say, your car. Would you never wash it? Would you use bleach or chlorine to wash it? Now, we're not talking about getting new rims or new headlights. If your happy with the size of your headlights more power to ya!  I'm talking about simple, needed cosmetic maintenance.  Keep your car (skin) looking new as long as possible. 

With all that said, here are a few fabulous products to maintain your shine.

Lip care from Pop Beauty

-easy to apply

-goes on kind of like a lip gloss

Pros:  Removes the dry skin on your lips and makes them smooth and soft.

Cons:  The tube doesn't come with information on it's content or how to use.

Pop Beauty has a lot more things to check that I haven't got around to but your welcome to check them out at Ulta Beauty.  Would love to hear what you think about their products.

Micro-Dermabrasion from Rodan & Fields (the gals behind Proactive)

Pros:  Polishes skin with a sugar-and-salt scrub which also contains vitamins C and E.  Left my skin so smooth and soft, even on the top of my nose.

Cons:  It was a bit tricky getting it on at first, it's pretty pasty but worth the effort.

Face moisturizer from Lather

Pros:  It smells pretty good.  Left my skin very moisturized and healthy looking.

Cons:  Couldn't think of one...hmm.

Body Scrub from Lather

-First thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the smell...A-MAZ-ING.

-It may not look so fab but trust me it sure feels fab once you've washed it off.

Pros:  Left my skin once again, soft and smooth.  The smell is almost therapeutic.

Cons:  It's a bit messy but totally worth it.

Can't wait to try out all the other Lather products.

Take care of your skin Darlins, it doesn't have to cost much.  It just takes your time.

Fashion, Sun & Goodies

So this past Saturday was the Two Point Oh! LA 2nd annual picnic and it was fabulous.  Not only was the southern California sun shinning especially for us but the over all event was great.  Although it was a two hour drive for me from my place in the country (it's country to me, city girl), it was well worth getting to meeting all those talented bloggers.  Much thanks goes out to the gal who put this all together Kelsi, Two Point Oh! LA President and Editor/ Founder of  Dedicated Follower of Fashion.

Kelsi and I

Finding something to wear to this event was as easy for me as looking in my studio.  This M.Velia top was a hit with many of my fellow bloggers at the picnic.  Making my day just a bit brighter.

When I arrived at the picnic I had the scare of a life time.....ok it was not that scary.  I was just stumbling along from the parking lot to the park when a  gofer popped out like one of those kid smash'em games. Yeah, I screamed and almost broke my ankle jogging it.  Only fashionistas wear wedges to a park. (no, not really)

Anyways after my encounter with that ferocious beast, (a bit much?) I entered the picnic area and found...well let me just show you all the highlights from the event.

These were...yum.  What were they? Some kind of cake bar.

No, I didn't try everything!

The sandwiches, were ok.  The chicken pea one, was pretty good.

Zuddha

Took a shot of their cleansing drink. It didn't taste bad but I'm gonna have to tell you what happen after on another post.

Craft or should I say D.I.Y time was cute.  My creative juices weren't really flowing, so I just signed my name with a red marker.

The gifting tent was pretty cool.  Got some nice little things.

Pop

This make-up line I had never heard of, probably because I never shop at Ulta, but I did receive a little something from them, that I plan on trying out and blogging all about it.

Lather

This line I had not heard of either but I was very fascinated by it.  I'm really looking forward to trying out the samples they gave and of course sharing all about it here.

Meet the lovely,  Tiara from The Dope Girl

Meet the fabulous Kristen, from Glitter N Glue

I loved her vintage handbag.

Last but not least, what's an event without a photo booth.  This photo booth was courtesy of Model Wire Network.  Not very good at photoboothing.

There were many other lovely dressed ladies that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of but had the pleasure of meeting.  Truly nice meeting Jamie from Queen of the Quarter Life Crisis , Laurie from Laurie B Style , Arden from Arden Ash , Penelope from Penelope's Vintage and other great bloggers, including a gentleman who's card is a must see. (next post)

The rest of this week for me is filled with a blog interview for my line, prepping for a huge Trunk Show this Saturday in West Los Angeles, getting back to some PR companies interested in placing my line and last shooting more of the Summer collection for the website.

Have a fab week Loves!
