Weekly Edition #9It's been almost sunny the last few weeks in PDX, and you know what that means, right? It means i'm lathering on the SPF and self tanning and wearing a ton of bronzer! Here's a few faves;<br /><br />CoverFX Gold - it's like NARS Laguna but just a little dewier and a little more color for me, but I like it because it always looks naturan.<br /><br />Lorac Warm Glow - like the name, it's a little rosier than your average bronzer, but it makes you look like you were dipped in the fountain of youth and you're still sprinkling from it<br /><br />St Tropez Bronzing Mousse - WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I just recently purchased this and I feel like my life thus far has been incomplete! It's such a great color, not orange at all, and last night after tanning with it my boyfriend actually asked me what smelled so GOOD!!<br /><br />Comodynes self tanning wipes - These are faves for my face and chest, they apply really evenly, I've never streaked with them, and they're easy to use. Like the St Tropez they're good for girls like me who tan to more of an olive color, I don't think it looks super faux.<br /><br />Get bronzing girls, and tell me what your favorites are!BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-53713521777974256112011-04-28T18:59:00.001-07:002011-04-28T19:00:38.437-07:00BeautyPalooza 007<iframe width="400" height="250" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4W3TqQoB9ys" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-39329183067825557622011-04-27T20:09:00.000-07:002011-04-27T20:11:16.293-07:00MADA | made for hair<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigh020E3fjSQyRSxtiohpq0uAEb_7N1eKXJeTebkIal_QN7GFduUzNxFfLZvFc_AQJT_hJjvQ-kVUzB42d_gVcjJEFJ4Jdv0msU3Sx_nZYUhhlWoMO5nNZMqoXr-aTv_u7pjud428MTtWw/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigh020E3fjSQyRSxtiohpq0uAEb_7N1eKXJeTebkIal_QN7GFduUzNxFfLZvFc_AQJT_hJjvQ-kVUzB42d_gVcjJEFJ4Jdv0msU3Sx_nZYUhhlWoMO5nNZMqoXr-aTv_u7pjud428MTtWw/s400/photo.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600466356383448882" /></a><br /><br />for more info <a href="http://www.madahair.com">click here</a>BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-29465263089768431142011-04-26T13:10:00.000-07:002011-04-26T13:12:54.169-07:00beauty blender<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLuQ8M_oVj2W_-He4aR1zHvXLj-wKwL0CEajgEjhAIaPtsV4XJ94Pj4h6AuPbL5okC4jGJcbUcuHgDrZk9cR1XJK6a43iw3OhXZdv2jkPdb-EXQjyQ4KZt6MBLK5Wtu0UpKIJNtfZOEaR3/s1600/217334_10150549476980144_117065815143_17899230_5041488_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLuQ8M_oVj2W_-He4aR1zHvXLj-wKwL0CEajgEjhAIaPtsV4XJ94Pj4h6AuPbL5okC4jGJcbUcuHgDrZk9cR1XJK6a43iw3OhXZdv2jkPdb-EXQjyQ4KZt6MBLK5Wtu0UpKIJNtfZOEaR3/s400/217334_10150549476980144_117065815143_17899230_5041488_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599987201415475026" /></a><br /><br /><br />Carrie said "Really, a $20 sponge.

This means lots of hard work, and lots of the elements since it apparently snows in Portland in April now.<br /><br />A couple of days ago Jai and I decided to try to replicate this beautiful look Jessica Alba has been wearing that I'm obsessed with, we did it with the Lorac palette that includes a primer, and used their 3 in 1 waterproof liners. I felt so pretty I didn't want to take it off for my run, so I didn't even though it was pouring like crazy. The exciting thing is that I ran 2.6 miles in a downpour, then did an hour of Barre 3, and when I got home I did a little cleanup underneath my eyes, but the look was still there! I feel like we really put it to the test here!<br /><br />Those things along with the eyeko mascara and Susan Posnick Colorflo, I coudn't be touched!BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-22507276718519072862011-04-06T16:16:00.000-07:002011-04-06T16:26:52.829-07:00Lucia ~ Soy Candles<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSuPgZ3mCmpr4-Ctmxc256hNW0m8ccYO3D1KO44dsE-yfnlg2HtpFRvF0TLIzOgsFRgdNSlZiIOlSOGPrOLBRa94USVwMZ_wu35Fts1yFlzT1-5txarbvCLD7JTSf45zB2-QFDcxEfQzpj/s1600/IMG_2196.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSuPgZ3mCmpr4-Ctmxc256hNW0m8ccYO3D1KO44dsE-yfnlg2HtpFRvF0TLIzOgsFRgdNSlZiIOlSOGPrOLBRa94USVwMZ_wu35Fts1yFlzT1-5txarbvCLD7JTSf45zB2-QFDcxEfQzpj/s400/IMG_2196.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592615548796941602" /></a><br /><br />Lucia soy candles are inspired by the unforgettable memories of traditions past and by the clean, sensuous modernity of the future. If you like clean soy candle scents, these delicacies are the perfect accoutrements for your living space. Fragrant smells, beautiful colors and intriguing textures make these organic soy candles collectibles. All Lucia candles are a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to existing petroleum based paraffin candles. Lucia's organic Soya is sourced from farming collectives all over the world encouraging fair-trade communities.<br /><br />I bought Lucia No 3 ( Tea Leaf & Honey Flower ) & Lucia No 6 ( Fresh Fig & Wild Ginger )and I was really impressed with the burn time, fragrance and quality of each candle.<br /><br />The packaging is awesome, so they make a really great gift.<br /> <br />You can find the Lucia Soy Candles at Blush Beauty Bar located at 513 NW 23RD AV, PORTLAND,OR.BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-74330534248710165812011-03-25T11:35:00.000-07:002011-03-25T11:37:03.017-07:00Face Stockholm by Lazy Girl<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpx3BzVLhuSkqNa0V7C-ZdNB81okNvJCKsph2FCTDl07V9sdwn3Sb4wUJ2Z2nQy-cC-UNQ-Bp2r0kPv1QNH3_2wMDTmeljY8YeH3gTSJX1l_mezZ83L6YMshLXTLDRI5MJ3K0FIY4NrXmA/s1600/face11n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpx3BzVLhuSkqNa0V7C-ZdNB81okNvJCKsph2FCTDl07V9sdwn3Sb4wUJ2Z2nQy-cC-UNQ-Bp2r0kPv1QNH3_2wMDTmeljY8YeH3gTSJX1l_mezZ83L6YMshLXTLDRI5MJ3K0FIY4NrXmA/s400/face11n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588088125637799762" /></a><br /><br /> I was very excited when the Head Blush Girl told me that she was getting in Face Stockholm at the store. If you couldn't tell, I am a huge makeup junkie. One of life's greatest pleasures for me is exploring a new makeup line. I have heard of a lot of them--even if I haven't physically touched them. Face Stockholm is one of them. HBG told me that this was a massive line--lots and lots to choose from, and since HBG has such great instincts with makeup, I knew that they would choose carefully and would give her customers the best of the best. <br /><br /> That said, I am pretty jaded when it comes to new makeup lines. To me, a lot of them seem totally boring--it seems like anyone and everyone is starting one. Take, for example, the Trina Tarantino line for Sephora. Bad makeup. Bad packaging. Great design, however. It felt like that was the main purpose--Great design, forget about making good makeup. <br /><br /> Face Stockholm is the real deal. They have interesting colors, both for their eye shadows and their lip sticks. But the best thing I bought is their foundation. I love that there's so many things to choose from--but it's overwhelming for me. Enter the Blush Girls. One of my favorite ones took me in hand and led me to the promised land. I told her that although I have a lot of choices of foundation in my makeup kit, I was bored with them (such is the life of a makeup junkie). I also have deep dark circles under my eyes. As I have said before, I am constantly looking for the nirvana of undereye concealer. My BG first put on a neutralizer called Blue. It's supposed to counteract your natural color. She put Magic Wand 3 on top of it. It's got a little highlighting materials in it that look truly great. Then she used a foundation brush and put Picture Perfect Foundation Shade A. It claims to camouflage all my surface imperfections and accentuate the contours of my face for a flawless demi-satin finish. <br /><br /> I just loved the overall effect. It isn't too much--you know how too much feels totally gross? This doesn't. It's just the right effect. As a true lazy girl, I love being able to walk in the store and have my BG pick out the perfect thing for me. Of course, after my skin looked so great, I needed a new Face Stockholm blush to go with it! And a lipstick. That was it. Promise. For now.BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-41537916620427258042011-03-24T13:04:00.000-07:002011-03-24T13:05:27.178-07:00Face Stockholm Event at Blush Beauty Bar<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtl5TmatCsCOTOOiG3qqxHK3iajav0sEaN3J-GyFbWXp5SVe8K1_uPVimOcXw-dqVznWi-q2Ce_IXG8vvCG5dKF9Uur1jv-WjCM33JAZptybZdZTekAfnCbpmXjJvNSMEdnoZiFMN6BLh8/s1600/FACE+STOCKHOLM+event.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtl5TmatCsCOTOOiG3qqxHK3iajav0sEaN3J-GyFbWXp5SVe8K1_uPVimOcXw-dqVznWi-q2Ce_IXG8vvCG5dKF9Uur1jv-WjCM33JAZptybZdZTekAfnCbpmXjJvNSMEdnoZiFMN6BLh8/s400/FACE+STOCKHOLM+event.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587740010416855218" /></a>BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-76829556743310187412011-03-21T11:03:00.000-07:002011-03-21T11:05:03.770-07:00Rachel's S.O.I.

He's pretty understanding about the fact that I like to spend some time on my skin and beauty! I've got a co-worker who has a strict "no sleeping in face masks" rule. In my household it's just the opposite. In fact, he'll join in! About once a week, I'll decide my skin needs some concoction and come out of the bathroom looking somewhere between the movies hairspray and silence of the lambs, and his respone is so lovingly "I think I need a masque too."<br /><br />It's so refreshing to feel together on skin care! I even caught him sneaking my new Bare Minerals cleanser the other day! It's hard to stay mad, although I do have a little hiding spot for my faves!<br /><br />So ladies, how far do you guys go on sharing skincare? I've heard everything from "We had to fight over our ANSR beam on our wedding night" to "He refuses to wash because he thinks he's too sensitive"!BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-29031435656828054952011-03-07T15:41:00.000-08:002011-03-07T15:43:03.839-08:00Rachel's S.O.I.

You'd think that would be easy considering where I work, but these girls are busy! I refuse to do my own due to the amount of time I spend lecturing others on how naughty that is, and due to the fact that I've made some mistakes before...<br /><br />I want to hear your best brow story, weather it was that embarassing trip to the nail salon that we all regret, or how you never knew it could be so good, and everything in between!<br /><br />Full disclosure: My story would have to be the first time I ever got my brows "done". I worked at a diner in the town I grew up in as a hostess, and the other host, a fierce man with more style in his pinky than I had in my whole closet, told me my brows were a mess and he was goiong to fix them. The next day I came to work, tweezers in hand, and he styled and shaped them for me! It took about an hour in the lobby of the restaurant while we were both supposed to be wiping down menus or something like that, and at the end they actually had a pretty good shape! I wouldn't recommend trusting them to strangers, but thank god someone finally told me how out of control they were!BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-83141906864859784562011-02-22T17:55:00.000-08:002011-02-22T17:59:33.624-08:00Rachel's S.O.I.

The difference between oil rich skin and properly hydrated skin is super important, you can have an oily skin type and still experience dryness. I personally have noticed with all this Portland weather mayhem the last couple of weeks, I'm a little duller than I'd like, and I'm experiencing more redness than usual.<br /><br />Of course here's my fixes, knowing lots of us are in the same boat here;<br />I've been using my Karuna Anti Oxidant and Hydrating masques, they are a cheese cloth soaked in special concoctions, the cloth is specifically designed to hold in more product, therefore more moisture!<br /><br />I also have enjoyed Arconas' Wine Hydrating Masque, leaves me feeling smooth and firm!<br /><br />These paired with regular exfoliationg and the occasional skin treatment keep me happy all year round!<br /><br />Are you having to step it up?BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177768087714152932.post-3632329315554700372011-02-18T10:35:00.001-08:002011-02-18T10:36:11.167-08:00The Audrey Hepburn look- teaser by MADA<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="500" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ixy_yWZlQ54" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>BeautyBlogNWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06025447062686373303noreply@blogger.com0
