How do you like it? Your foundation that is...

Posted by Bridget Hudzik

Are you a liquid, cream, or loose foundation girl?

Loose foundation, and in many cases, mineral foundation... 

Is said to be better for those with sensitive skin, or those that typically don't like the feel of foundation...

The jury is still out...

However if loose is the way you roll, Luckily you now have your pick...

 unlike a few years ago, when only drugstore brands had options.

Diorskin Nude Loose Powder Makeup SPF 10 contains nearly 20% water and brings a freshness feeling when you apply it.
Dior states, "Water acts as a veritable moisturizing and energizing cocktail for the skin." With 7 glowing shades, you can apply this alone or as a setting powder depending upon how much coverage you like.

MAC Cosmetics now offers a loose foundation, Mineralize Foundation/Loose.

A welcome addition to the rest of their mineral offerings, their foundation has a medium-buildable natural to natural-satin finish.

It promises to help, "...skin stay healthy and nourished."

And we can't forget about the ever-popular bareMinerals and their ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation. With a GLAMMY AWARD for Best Department Store/Specialty Foundation 7 years in a row.

They say, "The creamy minerals diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles without drying out your skin."

These are only a few... 
It seems every brand is jumping on this bandwagon!

Spring Break and Time for Travel! There's a Palette for that!

Posted by Bridget Hudzik

For some of us, summer time means travel time and squashing as much as we can into one bag to avoid rising baggage fees.

Lucky for us, cosmetic brands put our favs into palettes for easy transportation.

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Capri Pure Color Gelée Powder Eyeshadow Palette has a wave pattern etched into their five summer shadows, along with 2 double-ended applicators, in this compact.

Ophthalmologist-tested and fragrance-free, sultry eyes smoulder with a sun-kissed glow.

Perfect for a beach bound vacation!

The Sue Devitt Beauty Explorer Solomon Island Collection has some beautiful offerings in their collection for this summer as well.

The mysterious Solomon Islands underwater world of beauty inspired this collection of rich coral, pink, and golden bronze hues.

This includes a Deluxe Microquatic Blue Anti-Aging SPF 30 Protection Primer (love that a trip inspired st has an SPF primer), Destination Eye & Cheek Palette in Solomon Islands (eye and Cheek!!!!! Multi-tasking), Deluxe Powder Brush, Eye Intensifier Pencil in Gold Reef, Deluxe Lash Intensifier Lengthening Mascara in Pointe-Noire, and the Deluxe Lip Enhancing Gloss in Coral Sands will make your pout perfect to be sipping on mai tais!

This kit is well thought out and perfect for any trip where sun is involved!

 

If you are cruise bound! 

There's MAC.

*sigh*

 MAC how you never cease to amaze me sometimes.

I absolutely cannot wait for this collection!

It will have you ready to hit the High Seas.

It's just not available until May 24th, 2012.

(Not in time for Spring Break, but for that Summer cruise... your set!)

Will CAVIAR Nails be your next manicure???

By Heather Polyi  Owner/Lead Artist  Glam Spot NJ

Will Caviar nails be your next manicure?

 Probably not...  because once they were introduced to the public, they SOLD OUT!

The brand behind this genius concept...  will be selling the manicure sets at Sephora!

Don't hold your breath, it's gonna be a while!

It comes in 3 styles...

A multi color, a white pearl, and the black...

I am placing mine on hold, for the "first available"  you can too...

Click HERE

 

So, How does one actually apply this 3D color???

15-20 Min!!!!!

I am guessing that is actually longer...  When I get to try it I will report!

The inspiration behind this cool manicure, came about when Charlotte, Ciaté’s Creative Director, wanted to create 3-dimensional nails for a magazine shoot...

What a great idea! 

With 3D nail art becoming more and more popular! 

Katy Perry wore Sushi 3D nail art!

I am thinking this new Caviar mani. leans on the more sophisticated side!

I really...  Can't wait for this new product!

Be a "Happy Bunny" when stuck in a not so "Glam" situation!

By, Heather Polyi  Owner/Lead Artist  Glam Spot NJ

The incense match, can really save the day!

OK this has happened to all of us... 

Your AM Extra Large Mocha Latte Kicks in, the pills you secretly took to fit into that black mini are well... Kicking your a$$...

 

You're are at a public venue... a house party, a wedding, or even work and it's time to well GO! 

 You get the drift...

How embarrassing, you just know the cute guy at the party will need to go next, or the gossip in the office is in the stall 2 over...

Never Fear! 

Happy Bunny is here! (and in time for Easter)

It says right on the package, "Quick light some incense."

Hey a Glam girl... can't go up in a "puff of smoke"

No sweat!

These Happy scented Matchsticks are $2.95 on Amazon!

For $3.00 they should be in every Glam girl's handbag!

OK, you find the Happy Bunny offensive... (more so than the situation at hand...)

No worries...

These come in every scent imaginable!!!!!!!

So, save face...

Stay Glam...

And be a "Happy Bunny"

With love and Glamour
