Living in New York comes with countless perks. I took advantage of one of them recently and spent an evening with Trish McEvoy. The venue was a private room in Bloomingdales (perk!) There was a group of every type woman there. Young, middle-aged, senior, and we all took some fab tips home with us.
Trish McEvoy was very captivating and had a great sense of humor. You can tell that she is passionate about her work by how animated and excited she is to share her tricks and tips. She makes it seem so easy and natural to enhance, conceal and celebrate our faces! Her idea is simple, just 8 steps, although while taking notes I somehow ended up with 11! But fear not, her 8 steps are readily available on her website (Trish McEvoy) Her make-up tips are innovative and different than others that you have heard before. I don’t want to spoil it but you will find the alphabet is involved! One of her steps initially made me look like a clown! But once blended, it really worked!
After Trish McEvoy‘s presentation we were treated to a make-over by her trained and very talented staff. She had many of them available to us so we could each get a comprehensive lesson. They demonstrated the steps on us and had us try each one ourselves so we would retain the information. I was actually excited to try it out myself the next morning. Her products conveniently fit into a little notebook which makes it easily portable. The notebooks are totally customizable so you can fill it with make-up that you mix and match to your own preference.
It really was a great night, executed with passion and one that I will remember for a long time to come. And if I need a refresher all I have to do is visit Trish McEvoy.
BA*STAR just sent me their latest Spring 2014 color palette and I am loving it. I wore it to work yesterday and then played it up for night clubbing! This very affordable line of professional makeup stays the course no matter how much you dance (and sweat! It comes with a BA*Star “glue” to keep the color vibrant until you take it off. I have found I don’t even need to use the glue for a long lasting look.
Their website has a lot of interesting information on it here http://www.bastar.com/Default.asp#2 like free samples, free face charts and makeup how to videos. It’s not just for stage it works great out clubbing!
Below is how I applied BA*Star for day time / work

In view of the sun finally coming out again we have to think about more than having a bikini body. (I only wish 😉 ! )We have to pay close attention to our skin. There are so many products to try, how do you choose? Let me introduce you to a luxury spa brand that you can now get in your own neighborhood or right from your couch at Soleil Toujours Organic Skin Care.
Soleil Toujours Organic products combine skincare, anti-aging and sun protection in their line of products. Right there, they have won me over! I tried 5 of their products. This is what I thought of each…
Organic Skincare
DAILY MOISTURIZER FOR FACE SPF 20
Here is what they say;
This 100% mineral formula is lightweight and non-greasy, perfect for everyday use. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provide superior & natural protection from UVA & UVB rays that cause long-term cell damage and burning. Loaded with anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties.
I found it to have a pleasant light scent, to feel creamy and to sink in and not feel heavy on my skin.

Here is what they say;
Protect your skin’s DNA from damaging UV rays with this naturally based sunscreen. Moisturizes and nourishes skin. Fortified with potent antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals. Helps prevent sunburn.

I loved the way the mist was so light and immediately dried upon contact. It was easy to apply and has the most awesome organic ingredients including Organic Green Tea Leaf Extract, Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice and Organic Sunflower Oil.
MINERAL BASED SUNSCREEN FOR BODY SPF 30
Here is what they had to say;
Shield your skin’s DNA from damaging UV rays naturally. This luxurious, photo-stable formula offers superior UV protection while moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Fortified with potent antioxidants, vitamins and botanical.
This lotion has the nicest scent of green tea. It is rich and creamy and absorbs quickly into skin. I personally prefer the mist although I liked this lotion too.
100% MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 45 CONTINUOUS MIST FOR CHILDREN
Here is what they have to say;
EcoSun Complex®, composed of red algae, vitamin C ester, vitamin E and bisabolol combined with other botanical extracts help reduce UV-induced DNA damage, hydrate and provide superior antioxidant protection.
Helps prevent sunburn. If used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
That sounds like a product I would really want to use on my kids! Kids will love this scent too! They call it “100% Natural Fuitilicious fragrance”!
APRÈS SOLEIL EXOTIC SHIMMER BODY OIL
Here is what they have to say;
After sun – it’s time to pamper skin. This luxurious dry body oil can be applied daily for essential skin-softening benefits with a hint of shimmer and a touch of bronze. Formulated with 100% natural ingredients to help calm and relieve irritated skin. Fortifies skin with powerful anti-oxidant and anti-aging benefits.
As for me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The STAR INGREDIENTS are Rosehip Seed Oil, Argan Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Pomegranite Seed Oil, and Rosemary Leaf Extract. The scent is amazing, it adds a little color and it is sparkly! Well, not really sparkly, more like a sun kissed shimmer. I want to use it every day!

Last week I had the pleasure of attending The All Flo Couture fashion show at Suite 55 Hookah Lounge in NYC. Below are the words from the designer, Flory Ramoreboli, describing her line, her passion, her vision. I can not top her words. From my point of view the show was awesome! It is so fresh to see models in all shapes, sizes and colors strutting their stuff on the runway. The designs are sexy, intricate, different than everything you have seen and not only for size 0’s! (In my opinion, Size zero is just stupid anyway!) The clothes enhance the natural curves of a women’s body. The designs are confident and alluring.
“The strongest voices of our various cultures have always risen from our art, and few more expressive than the wearable art of fashion design. A native of Lesotho, Southern Africa, Chief Creative Officer of ALL FLO COUTURE,Flory Ramoreboli, has infused the beauty of her homeland into her clothing, and as she shares her gift with the world she maintains the humility that is South Africa as well. The designer pours her heart into each of her pieces, captivating rich tones of vivid hues with subtle yet deliberate details. Her intent is to initiate a change in the perception of couture; high fashion can in fact be intelligently and carefully crafted without being pretentious. Educated in Europe and currently residing in New York City, Flory Ramoreboli has taken an innovative approach to fashion design with the intention of creating an international brand that is uniquely African and exotic, but also very wearable and accessible for the traditional Western consumer. The ALL FLO Fashion House is a marriage of culture and couture. ALL FLO COUTURE.”
