Pre-Teen Beauty: Timeless and Natural..there is a way!

nicolelivvy1038 — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 18:24:30 +0000

There is nothing more precious than watching our children grow and learn about life. It is not easy, because there are times we want to freeze everything, so that they can stay little. Now if you have little girls, it can be even more difficult when they hit the pre-teen years, like my daughter. Being a makeu-up artist, and having her watch me since the age of two, create beautiful looks for people, she of course loves make-up. I knew she would! So, I knew she would come to me a bit early, wanting to wear make-up! Now this is a personal choice for each parent, but I have come up with the pre-teen look, that works for me! I hope this helps, all the mom’s that have little girls that are changing before their very eyes, LIKE OMG!!!!!! The way they carry themselves, interact with friends, music they like, and of course fashion!
So here is what I devised for the pre-teen. This look will work for 10yr-14yr, and then you can get re-discuss at 15 or just send your daughters to me! I will teach them everything they need to know about soft, pretty make-up that compliments.
Our girls even at a young age need to learn about protecting their skin and nourishing it every day! So, keep it simple.
Step 1: cleanser morning and night Cetaphil is very gentle! www.cetaphil.com
Step 2: Moisturize, I of course have all natural products that Livvy uses from my porcelain beauties line..but I also love Eucerin www.eucerinus.com

Make-up time!
Ok ladies, there is no need for blush, however sparkle powders and shimmer powders are gorgeous! They can be found anywhere and come in an array of colors. Golds for the summer and I love Silver for the fall and winter. This looks so pretty dusted on cheeks, and arms.
Even though it does not add color it does add a glow! Fresh and beautiful for our young pre-teens. I use this for all of m flower girls!

EYES:
This can be a testy area..and one that our girls will test us on! So be ready to make some rules and Guidelines:
No black mascara
NO dark colors!
NO eye liner
Pastels and shadows that have shimmer, in all soft colors! Cashmere/skin-tone shades, soft spring colors: Pinks, blues(very soft)lavenders, and silvers. Very pretty for that soft eye!
Just take a shadow brush, and gently stroke the color onto the lid. Then you can take the brush and go up towards the brow. The color will mainly be on the lid and the rest is just a touch of shimmer.
Clear MASCARA: This will make your little girl so happy, and she will feel like a teen but still look like your litte one! Clear mascara can be bought anywhere from any line. I love this because it conditions the lashes, protects them from the sun and your daughters will love the look. Natural and just a step for them to feel even more special!

Lips!
Keep it soft. Gloss and light lipsticks: Burt’s bees lip shimmers, lip balms, and pastels.
The most important RULE: If I see it..or notice the make-up too much, that means DAD will really notice and ALL BETS are OFF! This will teach them to blend..or rights are revoked! Make-up can be too harsh for our pre-teens and they have to learn to blend, and do it correctly or not at all!

Here are the Make up lines that WE LOVE!!!!! Your purse will too!
$1 and up.
Elf cosmetics www.eyeslipsface.comWet-n-wild it is still arround and I love it! Target, rite-aid, walgreens!
Burt’s bees: So natural and so pure. colors are soft and pretty! rite-aid, CVS, walmart
Eco tools brushes: Ulta stores and Wal-mart/ Target
Sonia Kashuk brushes: Target I LOVE THESE BRUSHES as good as MAC.

Most IMPORTANT: I do not think pre-teens or teens NEED make-up. They are beautiful, and natural, with a healthy glow that comes from being young and active. However, each parent is different and will create their own guidelines. As a make-up artist I have taught my daughter about art, and embracing creativity from the tender age of two! So I allow her to be herself, and to grow, with the right tools. I am happy that I can teach her the art of make-up and how to enjoy it and not OVERDO IT!
Good luck.. let me know if you need any help. Nicoleliv3@aol.com

My skin has never looked better!!!!! A must have Product!

nicolelivvy1038 — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:03:37 +0000

Beautiful Skin in no time at all...

Amazing product that I was reluctant to try! I thought to myself, what can that little machine do that is so special. Well my mother bought this and proved me wrong once again! I will tell you what it can do. IT can make your skin look glowy, beautiful, refreshed, pores smaller, and as if you just had a spa facial. YES! You heard me beauties..and in less than 3 minutes, every day! It is amazing, and my little girl who will be 11 years old, is a big fan. I would rather her take care of her skin than beg me to wear black mascara. That will be another post! Age appropriate make up for an 11 year old that is pre-teen! I have the answer. Ok back to pretty skin! Do a little research for price. You can get a deal out there. Sephora of course has the Clarisonic, but I don’t want you to pay an arm and a leg.
Here are some more details and you can go to www.clarisonic.com What it is formulated to do:
From the creators of the Sonicare® toothbrush comes the Clarisonic® Skincare Brush. Sonic technology first changed the way we clean our teeth, it’s now changing how we cleanse our skin. The sonic frequency moves Clarisonic’s soft, gentle brush back and forth at more than 300 times per second, thoroughly clearing pores and skin surface.

Here are some of the benefits this revolutionary skincare tool delivers:
- Removes makeup six times better than traditional methods.
- Clears pores and reduces the appearance of pore size.
- Cleanses so thoroughly that skincare products absorb better.
- Creates noticeably healthier looking skin.
Ladies invest in this and begin to see the benefits. I bought the set that had the 3 cleansers but I use it with my favorite summer time cleansers too!

Directions: apply your sugar scrub to damp skin, after while in the shower, massage the scrub onto your skin from head to toe, rinse off the sugar and the remaining oils will hydrate your skin. Simply pat dry..do not wipe. Allow the oils to penetrate your skin. Now feel your skin and be surprised! Your skin will feel so soft and you do not need a moisturizer! This product is all in one!

Time to get rid of puffy eyes...

I love this cost effective eye product! The special blend of precious and essential oils work together with anti-inflammatory properties to drain the under eye area and eyelids, naturally and gently. Helps reduce appearance of wrinkles when used consistently. This product is .15 oz and ONLY $5.00 on ETSY! SOOTHE Eye Depuffer Balm Use AM and PM or any time needed. Also great on temples when you have a headache now with argan oil and certified organic ingredients non-comedogenic. My clients love this and I use this every night and morning. It smells so good, and feels so luxurious! I just can’t believe the cost. I love supporting other women in their business ventures, and I can’t wait to try all of Rhonda’s products! Even though I have my own skin-care and body-care line, I love to try new products. Your skin reacts well when you change things up every 6 mos. Even if you try one new product, every few months, you will see a nice change. This products is amazing for anyone who is tired, run-down, a little stressed, or struggling with changes around the eyes. hmmmmm every woman in America! Good luck and let me know how it works out for you!

My beautiful Gothic Glam Bride…We loved her!!!

nicolelivvy1038 — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 04:10:57 +0000

: A one of a kind bride that we fell in love with.. so beautiful!

: A sultry gothic look designed for a special bride.

Dawn was one of our favorite brides this year! Dawn once served in the military, and we wanted to do everything to make her day a lasting memory. She was open to our creative ideas and also gave us the direction we needed! We wanted to create a gothic glam look for her that was still feminine, and sultry, yet bridal. Her fiance loves her pale skin, and admires gothic beauty. Actually he admires her in any style, or fashion, but she did ask his opinion. So he said to go in the gothic glam direction, but not too overdone. She was beautiful without any makeup on her face. A small framed bride, with transluscent skin, and beautiful almond shaped brown eyes. I was so excited to dive into the possibilities with makeup and I knew Mindy could not wait to create a roaring twenties look, with a modern twist. Ok so we fell in love with her! She gave us some direction and said, ” I trust you”. Music to our ears, and then the magic happened. The colors flowed, her black ink tattoos were perfect. Humming birds, I LOVE HUMMING BIRDS!!!!!!!!! I was so excited I brought my camera, and I took all of these images. Can you believe it? I have been dabbling in some photography for fun, and this is what I created! Every bride is unique, and embraces a certain style. Dawn, was my little Gothic beauty and I will never forget her! Mindy and I are still talking about her birdcage veil… we want it!

Most Amazing Product Ever! Bio Oil

nicolelivvy1038 — Sat, 28 May 2011 13:38:49 +0000

Okay Ladies!

My very first product that I am elated to tell you about! You are going to love this Oil…and the results that you will see when you start using this. I LOVE IT! Now I first heard about Bio Oil from a dear friend of mine Jill Gately: www.Jillgately.com She is amazing and her skin is beautiful!!!!! We had just completed a Mommy and me Photo-shoot and Boudoir Marathon. 17 clients from Friday-Sunday. After we completed our Saturday..we both fell into bed. I was so tired I could not even talk. The bed at the Marriott Waterfront, what a dream, so comfortable! The funny thing was there was this little light over the bed for reading. I don’t know why this cracked me up, but I put it as a spotlight on my face..to be funny. I look over and Jill is cracking up, but the thing I noticed is her skin. She has the best flipping skin I have ever seen. I mean that should have been the last thing on my mind after a 12 hour day. But her pores looked so damn good and her skin had a glow to it. So this is how I first heard of the product. She lives by it and told me I have to try it.

I ran out to CVS, and bought this right away. This oil is for Scars, stretch marks, uneven skin-tone, ageing skin, and dehydrated skin. You are supposed to try it twice a day for three months. You can read all about the ingredients at www.bio-oil.com The bottle is 2oz, and the product smells amazing, almost like the beach. Fresh and crisp! The reason it is so special it contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil. This ingredient acts as a delivery system for Bio-Oil’s other ingredients, dramatically improving its application and spreadability, and allowing for targeted absorption into the skin. The results for me have been amazing! My skin feels soft, I have that Jill Gately glow, my skin-tone is more even, it has helped with the rosacea I get around my nose, and I feel like my pores are smaller. I believe it is less than $20 at CVS. I will be posting more products this weekend and their results! Good luck and Stay Beautiful! I am off to do weddings now!
