Soap and Glory have a Mantrap!!!!

By; Heather Polyi. Owner/Lead Artist. Glam Spot NJ

The iconic fav's that graced us with their "presents" at the holidays, are back and brought their friends!!!!

 

The entire Soap and Glory line is available at Sephora, I was there today for the unveiling!

(Sephora in Paramus Park of coarse). It's quiet, clean, and everyone is awesome there... Just sayin'

I digress....

 

 

The cute names and packaging are just as great as the products themselves...

The story of this brand, I had to steal right off their website... It's impressive!

"Soap & Glory has been supporting the Clean of England since 2006, when founder and serial suds-loving entrepreneur Marcia Kilgore used her cosmetic chemistry savvy to bring, fearless, and fantastically formulated bath, beauty, and body products to the British. Kilgore is widely renowned as the skincare expert’s expert. At 26, she opened her first big business – New York’s famous Bliss Spa.

(That's right!!!! Bliss Spa!!!)

She’s performed thousands of treatments on her ‘regulars’, top beauty editors, and an A-list roster of celebrities (including Madonna, Demi Moore, Calvin Klein, Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman and Oprah). She can tell you WHAT REALLY WORKS, and knows what lifts a skincare, body or cosmetic formulation from average to fabulous.

Most importantly, she believes that a good laugh can take off as many years as a good ‘lift’.

Within weeks of Soap & Glory’s first launch, the word – and the gloss – on almost everybody’s lips was the (now iconic) super-plumping Sexy Mother Pucker™. Soon after, Soap & Glory’s Righteous Butter™ Body Butter was voted Britain’s Best Body Butter* and our Make Yourself Youthful™ anti-aging peptide serum took The Times beauty awards gold star. The bar was set high. And every single Soap & Glory product that followed has been brilliant.

But it’s not all foam and frivolity.

Last year, Soap & Glory kicked off a 2-MINUTE RINSE™ campaign. A quick, easy to do 120-second shower became de rigueur for those worried about the approaching global water shortage. And so, Soap & Glory always suggests – whether you’re using Soap & Glory or other people’s products – shorter showers.

Now proud purveyor of an absolutely fabulous full range of beauty, body and bath-stuffs, Soap & Glory recommends putting your products on with happiness and abandon, because they believe while beauty absolutely matters, it doesn’t matter absolutely."

I couldn't agree more!!!!!

Ok...

So I love this line!!!!

And then.......

This happened!

The lipstick "mantrap"!!!!

For those of you that don't know...

I worked for a brand called Prescriptives.

I was a custom blender.... I even custom made gloss and lipstick!

My friend Everett suttle had his fav. Channelle Mayers had hers, and I had mine! It was named "man trap".

It was a running joke the three of us and the names of our shades...

Now it's an official shade and my intellectual property has been stolen!

:( j/k

I actually like their version...

:)

So on that note, this is a must try line, with a lot to offer!!!!

"Painting the Roses RED"

By Bridget Hudzik, Beauty Guru

You've been asking, so I'll get to telling.

Red lipstain.

No, not STICK - STAIN.

Yes, you can wear it any time of the year, during any season, and any time of the day. 

Here are 5 excellent options to choose from:

1. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic: A indulgent balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in a retractable chubby crayon - no need for a sharpener. This Balm Stain will instantly give you softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush of color that lasts hour after hour. The unique gel formula comes in 12 great shades that match any look or mood. Apply to clean, bare lips and build color and coverage as you like. Reapply as needed for moisturizing shine throughout the day.
2. Benefit Benetint Pocket Pal - This double-ended, portable duo has benetint - a rose-tinted lip and cheek stain on one end and shiny clear lip gloss on the other. Buyer beware! benetint is a stain, so be sure to open with benetint on the bottom and close nice and tightly. Apply benetint to your lips and let it dry. Then layer on the crystal clear gloss for a sexy shine! It's beautiful on all complexions and perfect for on the go.
3. Yves Saint Lauren Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in Rouge Philtre - A new lip product by YSL, Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain combines the texture and shine of a gloss with the long-wear of a stain. It has a lightweight texture that immediately melts on to your lips. Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain provides brilliant glossy color for a long lasting new kind of shine. The applicator’s slanted tip and short soft bristles allow for simple and easy application with perfect precision.
4. Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Strawberry Kissed - This high-coverage lip product contains avocado oil for a silky texture that transforms as you wear it: when applied, the initial cream texture becomes a smooth, lightweight stain. Lips achieve beautiful color as it dries, leaving them feeling soft and supple. It is available in many shades including both matte and satin finishes, with intense color that stays put. 
5. e.l.f. Essential Lip Stain in Crimson Crush - This full coverage stain lasts for hours with a long-wear formula. Wear it as a silky matte color or layer on the moisturizing clear gloss for a shiny look. With essential Vitamins A & E, lips stay smooth all day long.

Various options in various ranges.

It all depends on your preference.

What will you stain your lips with?

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...

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!
