A Luminous Look

The onset of cold weather is definitely taking away my glow. Thankfully I've discovered my own 'genie in a bottle.' I just tried STILA's ALL OVER SHIMMER LIQUID LUMINIZER #3/Luminous Gold after a client requested a luminous look similar to Tamia's. It's soft and pretty and gives off a refreshed look. The perfect pick-me-up for my lackluster skin. It literally enhances the complexion -- skin looked radiant (not greasy) with a sheer subtle sheen. I'm not crazy about the polish applicator brush so I applied with a foundation brush instead. Start off with a small amount for best results and blend! Order from http://www.stilacosmetics.com/ and you can choose from two shades (lists Luminous Silver too). Both are listed at $8 -- a steal from the standard $22 at other outlets.

HOW TO:

• Can be used with foundation OR without!
• Apply to inner corners of eyes, tops of cheekbones and under brows.
• Don't neglect neck, decollete and arms if you're baring a bit more after hours.

What is Glowology?

"It's the art of celebrating the beauty in every woman." says Christine Berger, creator of Noodle & Boo. She found that women with sensitive skin were using the popular children's line so she filled the void with GLOWOLOGY. The entire line is free of parabans, sulfates, and synthetic preservatives. Products are organic -- 100% biodegradable. While GLOWOLOGY has a celebrity cult following, they encourage everyday women to be a brand ambassador. So check out the goodies and spread the word.

The Balm contains Shea butter for hydration, astringent citrus fruit, and salicylic acid to remove dead skin. Also contains bilberry, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory to combat cell damage. Great for hands and feet. $24

Sugar Mama Honey Scrub has aloe, coconut and raw honey in it. By now you know I am a fan of raw honey: it locks in moisture and has natural antiseptic properties. Try the scrub in the shower to gently exfoliate skin. $26

Opulent Body Butter is an extra rich cream for all over body moisture. Works best on extremely dry skin. Calendula and sweet almond oil ensure long lasting hydration. $18.
