Vanessa Williams & Sam Fine-March Of Dimes Beauty Ball

Vanessa Williams at the 36th Annual March of Dimes Beauty Ball by Celebrity Makeup Artist Sam Fine

I always look to what my client is wearing for inspiration. Vanessa wore a chic black Lanvin gown that inspired me to play up her eyes for a sexy, sultry look!

I always begin by dabbing concealer directly underneath the eye, nearest the lower lashes to highlight and remove any redness/discoloration around the eye
area. Then, I used COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation with a sponge applicator to unify varied tones and create a flawless canvas. To add dimension and luminosity, I brushed Queen Collection Natural Hue Mineral Bronzer along the outer perimeter of the forehead and cheeks.

For the eyes, I selected COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke. I began by using the pearl opalescent shade on the browbone, then surrounding the eye in the deep gray shade and tapped gently to blend together for a seamless, smoky effect. I also used COVERGIRL Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire to line the inner rim of the eye for added drama. And lastly, I finished this look with a few coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Water Resistant Mascara on both upper and lower lashes!

I always begin by lining the mouth with a shade that's close to my clients skin tone. I don't simply outline the mouth; I bring liner into the mouth, towards the center, so liner and lipstick "marry" seamlessly. Afterwards, I use a lipbrush to apply lipstick for an even, satiny finish. For Vanessa, I applied Queen Collection Lasting Lip Pencil in Coffee and finished off the look with Queen Collection Lip Color in Nude Attitude.

Remember, a smoky eye is supposed to be a little messy... It's not a look that has to be perfect. Oftentimes, I'll begin makeup by applying eyeshadow, clean around the eye area with a cotton swab, and then begin to apply concealer and foundation. This is an especially great trick if you're going for a dark, dramatic eye like the one I've applied to Vanessa! Also, I always leave my clients with the two things they'll need to touch-up during the night - Pressed Powder... and of course, lipstick!

"SKIN TIGHT" From Head To Toe!!!!!

I love Laser Cosmetica Skin Care line! My skin is seriously looking firmer, more radiant and I am feeling tight!

Laser Cosmetica also as so many amazing products such as their Photo facials..........

What are Photo Facials?
Photo Facials are a revolutionary advance in laser cosmetics that removes discoloration and textural irregularities, resulting in the appearance of healthier, more vibrant skin.

Who should get treatment for Photo Facials?
If you suffer from photo damage, sun damage, or other environmental damage, Photo Facial works exceptional well at removing discoloration, improving skin texture and tone while providing a slight skin tightening NYC effect to the skin. Years of sun bathing and exposure to the natural elements can be removed after a short, no down time protocol.

How frequently do I need treatments?
A typical protocol would be five sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart. For discrete vascular areas such as spider veins and broken capillaries, a more aggressive approach may be determined.

How does a Photo Facial rejuvenate my skin?
Photo Facial uses gentle light and thermal energy to promote collagen production in the dermis and restore skin to a more youthful state, through wrinkle reduction. Brown spots (pigmented imperfections) from sun damage and aging, red blotching from spider vessels or rosacea (vascular imperfections), and rough porous skin texture will improve over a treatment series. Treatments consistently achieve visible improvement with little discomfort. Studies have concluded that flushing, redness and symptoms of rosacea improve more than 75% on average.

Does the treatment hurt?
There is little to no discomfort involved in the photo rejuvenation process. Our systems employ a chill tip that minimizes any discomfort. We offer a host of pre and post laser topicals to help alleviate any pain, or irritation.

What happens after each treatment?
Temporary pinkness of the skin can last a very short time (minutes, hours, a day) but the improvement in pigment and vascular irregularities can often be appreciated by the time you return for your next treatment. Brown spots and freckles temporarily become darker before they lighten. Particularly sensitive areas may crust.

Is photo rejuvenation safe?
Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are no long term health hazards from light or thermal energy used. Both have been used for decades in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.

What kind of results can I expect from Photo Facial treatment?
Each treatment will result in gradual lightening and improvement of pigmented and vascular imperfections. Skin tightening NYC textural improvements are realized towards the end of the treatment series.

"SEEING RED" ................................RED 23

KAREN KANE LAUNCHES NEW CONTEMPORARY DIVISION, RED 23

Following the success of her contemporary label, Fifteen-Twenty, the designer eyes fall 2011 for new casual knit division

Kane explains her inspiration for Red 23: “I’ve always loved the contemporary space and Fifteen-Twenty was an opportunity to try something new. We designed it for the girl who wants a pretty top for a date or dinner out with friends. After hearing that customers wanted some casual pieces to wear on weekends or around home, we developed the idea for Red 23. We’re very excited about our first collection – it’s full of calm, neutral tones that can be worn with such ease and versatility.”

Red 23 will be sold in specialty stores nationwide. Fifteen-Twenty is currently sold at Neiman Marcus, Neiman Marcus CUSP, and specialty stores across the United States. Like Fifteen-Twenty, Red 23 is also represented by West Bank Clothing in Los Angeles at the New Mart and in Dallas at Fig.

Since founding her company in 1979, Kane has based her operations out of Los Angeles. Today, Karen Kane, Inc. is based out of a 130,000 square foot facility in Vernon. The company has over 160 employees, with showrooms located in New York, Dallas, and Downtown Los Angeles. Karen Kane continues to be sold at major department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Belk, Dillard’s, Bon Ton, Lord & Taylor, and specialty stores nationwide.

Here's what the spa says about themselves:

This is bathing for the millennium; something old is now something very new and it's catching on fast!

What others are saying about the spa:

NY Mag Editor, Chrissy Persico says,

"A day at this three-story bath and spa is like visiting Russia by way of Fulton Street. Less trendy (and five times bigger, according to the owner) than the Russian and Turkish Baths on 10th Street, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but the facilities surprise first-time visitors. After checking valuables at the front desk, guests head for the locker rooms to trade street clothes for bathing suits, robes, and Soviet-style plastic spa shoes. The below-ground bathhouse has three main areas: a white-tiled steam room; the Shvitz, a sauna with faucets and buckets for dousing yourself with cold water; and the Russian sauna, built with sixteen tons of granite."

Citysearch User, SweetChildOfMine says,

"Spa 88 is great inside. Wood paneling makes it feel like a ski resort. Pay $32 for all day use and detox in authentic Russian bath house. This is a slice of life. The food is EXCELLENT!The pool is NEWLY renovated and clean also a great temperature this is a place to rejuvenate. They have dedicated massage therapists that are from the old country..This is a unique New York Experience...but you must also try the food..it is made from scratch and very well priced!!!"

Crystal Clear......with Crystal PEEL

I came across a amazing product at the IBS Show called Crystal Peel

What is so amazing about this product compared to other Micro-dermabrasion take home products?

It's all behind the Science and of course Lynn Lucka who is the original creator and inventor of take home Micro-dermabrasion........

She mention's the importance of exfoliating and how your Crystal Peel makes your skin think it needs to self heal by creating micro incisions while exfoliating......in turn your skin care regiment absorbs deeper into the skin and the skin produces collagen.....the results are unbelievable!

THE IMPORTANCE OF EXFOLIATION
Taking excellent care of your skin may be the singularly most important beauty investment you can make—and without proper exfoliation, any other product you use to improve or protect your skin (serum, masks, moisturizer, sunscreen and even self-tanner) will not be absorbed to their fullest potential. Exfoliation is a vital first step in any skin care regimen, clearing away dry, dull skin cells in order to reveal the younger, softer skin cells beneath.

WHY CRYSTAL PEEL?
There are now more than a few at-home micro-dermabrasion exfoliating products on the market, but only Crystal Peel can claim the- titles of both the first at-home micro-dermabrasion exfoliator and the first microdermabrasion exfoliating soap bar (the bar continues to be the only micro-dermabrasion bar available on the market). Having spent years perfecting the precise formulas used in the Crystal Peel Collection, Lynn Lucka has sold her products for over a decade to the same dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and spas. Crystal Peel is formulated using only the highest quality sterile, medical-grade, antibacterial, uniform size and shape 120 micron corundum crystals. Lynn has formulated a microdermabrasion program that remains without equal --- no one has ever duplicated the refinement and effectiveness of our patented formulas.
