Deep Blue Healing Properties



We all need a little help with our skin from time to time. Things like harsh elements, sun, stress and poor diet all contribute to unsightly breakouts, scaly patches, red skin. Have no fear, CoralActives is here.

- "CoralActive's SeaWhip enzyme is the foundation of the skin’s inflammation response that leads to signs of redness and discomfort. Sea Whip Extract has also been shown to assist the skin to repair itself. It is a natural solution for sensitive and irritated skin."
   And, the SeaWhip Coral found in the Caribbean is totally renewable. How cutting edge is that?


CoralActives™ Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser

Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser with SeaWhip Extracts means you are steps closer to smoother, clear skin. Women spend thousands on plastic surgery, harsh techniques that don't always work. All they really need is a superior skincare line. CoralActives  is brand sparkling new and has done cutting edge research with emis Labs for us. They've developed some awesome products, that won't break the bank. Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser releases the perfect amount of pure vitamin A. The texture feels fresh, and I'm addicted to the cucumber, clean scent. Cleanser that leaves the skin feeling clean, washes away oil, bacteria, and dead surfaces from the skin. Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser promotes collagen growth, and stimulates skin renewal. I like to switch up my skincare routine every 3-4 months. Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser is the perfect product to incorporate for fall, complimenting the change in seasons.


Penetrating Acne Serum Gel

A lightweight Serum that dries quickly, fights acne and leaves the skin looking radiant. Penetrating Acne Serum Gel packed with 6% Benzoyl Peroxide, is a burst of oxygen for the skin. Sounds good to me. With all the yummy ingredients and 6% Benzoyl Peroxide strength, once a day application is all you need. If the skin gets red, chapped and burns just cut back on the application. Don't give up, this product is meant to be strong. Your skin will settle down. In no time, people will be commenting on how amazing your skin looks. Wait and see, Coral Actives delivers.


"6% Benzoyl Peroxide; to kill bacteria




 
Sea Whip Extract; to help your inflamed skin
Humectants; to attract water from the atmosphere onto your skin
Emollients; to retain the moisture on your skin"

 

Ever been victim of the occasional chest, back and butt breakout? Wheter SoulCycle sweating, exercise fiend or just plain oily skin, bumps happen. Even supermodels and A listers need some makeup help with slight body imperfections. This little bar full of magic ingredients says bye-bye bumps, hello smooth skin.  
 
"10% Benzoyl Peroxide
There is nothing better at killing bacteria than benzoyl peroxide.
Coconut Oil
A natural product found in coconut oil is lauricacid. Lauric Acid (which is also found naturally in mothers’ milk) is a nutrient that supports the body’s normal functional response to bacteria and viruses.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A keeps skin and mucous membrane cells healthy. When membranes are healthy they stay moist and resistant to cell damage. The moistness inhibits bacteria and viruses from initiating infectious diseases on the surface of the skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is vital in protecting skin cells from ultra violet light, pollution, drugs, and other elements that produce cell damaging free radicals.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter is instilled with superb moisturizing and healing capacities for the skin. The application of Shea Butter has shown to help with eczema, acne blemishes, rashes dermatitis and other skin disorders. It also includes wound-healing (anti-bacterial) properties to heal skin problems in a healthy, soothing way."
 
Congrats CoralActives on the October 2012, mention in O magazine.
If it's good enough for Lady O, it's fantastic for me. Trendsetting CoralActives, the next big thing!

Just The Ticket












Women on the go rejoice. Cargo's got the product for any occasion. With so many choices in the world of Beaute, a girl can get lost in her own beauty closet. When I looked for something fresh and different, I received the very hip, Cargo Cosmetics. OMG, I fell in love all over again. The awesome signature tins, are virtually indestructible. Lip Gloss Quad put Cargo on the map. The superb quality kept it there. Four creamy, smooth, gloss shades easy to mix and match, or worn separately. Lip Quad is the rave with 'the in crowd' and artists that make them shine. Argentina Lip Quad, in rich burgundy, deep gold, pumpkin and sparkle dusty rose is spot on for the season.Your lips will sparkle sheen, in stunning shades of fall color.

Beach Blush is the only tin of sunshine you'll ever need, caught stranded on a desert island. Or cruising the city streets. In four complimentary shades, with a mix of bronzer and blush, Beach Blush instantly brightens the face. The funky tin makes swirling your blush brush fun, and application a breeze. Cable Beach, a bubbly pink with golden sheen highlights, colors the cheeks pretty, just like a supermodel.















ColorStick
"An oil-free, cream color stick that blends effortlessly to eyes, cheeks and lips, for a natural, monochromatic look."
I love dual function products, I adore TRI- function products even more.
They make life simple for the busy girl on the go. Lord knows, women I know aren't "binder ladies." They're out there, taking names and getting things done.
While looking impeccably fabulous, of course. ColorStick's lightweight formula stays put, creating an 'airbrushed' finish. Key West, a pretty, bubbly pink lights up the eyes, cheeks and lip. The airy texture combined with the tri-function, makes ColorStick a no brainer.


blu_ray High Definition Make-up

Finally, high-def. products that actually work! blu_ray High Definition Make-up is supreme coverage, without looking piled on or glue face.
Working in Film and TV get hairy fast, if you don't have the right products. Cargo's blu_ray line was created after numerous artists in the industry begged for quality high-def. products, that kept the TV personality looking like a real person. With 'Photochromatic Pigments and micronized minerals', Cargo did it. Giving the industry a reliable high def. line, that looks au naturale. I love blu_ray Bronzer.
With no pearly pigments, high-def. Bronzer does exactly what it's supposed to.
It adjusts to ambient light, creating a natural glow on the skin without the shimmer.
It's the perfect golden base shade of Bronze.

Thanks Cargo for the reintroduction.
You can be sure, you're coming out of the beauty closet.
And staying there.

Takin' It To The Streets



Leaf on StyleHaul takes it to the streets during Fashion Week.
Will becauseI'maddicted blogger Geri Hirsch be a trendsetter or a style watcher?
Will she get noticed, with bold prints, funky fashion choices, and put together, killer outfits.
She's young, pretty and hip. Why not take chances and risks with Fashion?
I love the bold, mustard print ensemble, the elegant (not so easy to wear black jumpsuit) paired with a stark, turquoise collar necklace and killer heels. Me? I'm a Frye boot wearing, black jean, tank top, Chrome Hearts girl. I admire Geri's whimsical, edgy style. Does the Street Style Photographer eventually get Geri's pic? You bet he does. Ah, paparazzi livin' 24 seven.

Color Me Happy

F- U- N. That's the first thing that comes to mind, when I think of Hard Candy. I know I'm in for a treat, when a bonanza of color, sparkle, lace and funky, shiny new Fall products arrive at my door. The second is QUALITY. Hard Candy may be affordable (yay!) and quirky, but the brand packs an A+ punch. With so many awesome, new pieces, where to begin? From the top.

Top Ten. The Eyeshadow collection comes with ten, perfect color combinations, a swank lace cover, and compact mirror. It's all the eyes need for fall. With five pretty, color collections to choose from, from light pearl shimmers to smoldering sexy shades, it's the perfect, chic compact.




If bold is you're thing, try Single & Lovin' It Eye Shadow. New for Fall, the super pigmented shadows, in pearl, glitter and shimmer will definitely get a girl noticed and turn heads.






Megawatt Smile. Just when you thought your day couldn't get any better?! Megawatt Smile comes along, a tri-lipstick product to brighten your world. One side is a lipstick with a top coat, shimmer center core. The other side, a brush-on tooth whitener. How cool is that? I told you we'd have fun, while looking pearly-white fantabulous. World Balmination got me through last winter's chapped lips.
I can't wait to test drive Megawatt Smile this season.

















Lite Bright Concealer illuminates, as it wipes out dark circles.
The lightweight texture allows for building more coverage, and the brightening agent corrects imperfections over time. Reapplying made simple, add a touch before cocktails or a night on the town. The Click pen keeps application smooth and easy, and bacteria stays out.


Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil. Creamy, glossy, delicious.
I love, love love these pencils. They deliver beautiful, intense color that stays put all day, feels sheer and light on the lip. Mix and match, make up your own dazzling lip shade.



Glossaholic
Ginormous gloss, in one swoop covers the whole lip.
The luxurious glosses are infused with prisms of color that make lips seem fuller and plumper. Imagine my delight when I applied Confection, 
sweet Vanilla taste on the lip. The sparkles add fun to the flavor.

Thanks Hard Candy, for brightening the day, one awesome, funky product surprise at a time.
A special thanks to DNA Public Relations, who work tirelessly promoting their brands. Without beauty PR mavens., this blog would be an empty slate.

A Bold New Future


myface.cosmetics Beautifying the world one glorious, innovative product at a time. I like to keeps tabs and revisit cool brands that stand out. That are moving forward, creating new and exciting product. I use Blingtone shadows every chance I get. Celebs love the intense shimmers, the bold, modern color. Purple Haze is one of my go to favorites. I was stoked when myface.cosmetics sent some new additions my way. Slinky Metal Liquid Liner in Purple Haze brought me back to Jimi Hendrix days. A smokey, purple eye is modern, sexy and can be more mysterious than black.
mymix foundation creates a natural, just back from the beach, glowing face. It's the perfect blend of light, that offers just the right amount of coverage. Anyone who reads this blog, knows I am a stickler for gorgeous skin, and luminous foundation. I love that myface cosmetics website offers celebrity skin tone comparisons." If your skin tone is like Katy Perry, Courtney Cox or Rachel McAdams, choose FAIR 02." How smart is that? With Social Media taking over the world, you can google any star and find your perfect shade. There are tons of artistry tips on the site (I even learned a few, new tricks), products, and images by the master himself, Kabuki. Put your best face forward and move into the 21st Century, with myface.cosmetics.


Italian Ice Eyeshadows Blend & Layer to Create Bold, Modern Color
"Only the most extraordinary individuals can be known to the world by one name alone – that is a distinction reserved for icons, unforgettable characters who leave an indelible mark on their world and are recognized as the best at what they do. Such is the case for makeup artist Kabuki."

Walk A Mile

Marc Jacobs
I'm not going to write a long winded, beauty recap of NYC Fashion Week Spring 2013. One, because everybody and their grandmother has already posted, blogged, wrote, and filmed about it. Two, because it makes my feet hurt. Like seriously ache, kill, blister, standing for thirteen hours at a time, running around like a mad woman, the frenetic energy. Thank Golly, for Zuca Pro Kits, with a built in seat. Every makeup artist's wet dream. I hate walking the catwalk. Made me grumpy, nervous. No thank you, sirree. It's all about Zen living for me. Blogger becauseI'maddicted Geri Hirsch covered the week so well, with her adorable LEAF videos on StyleHaul.
I'll leave you with an empty pocket full of wisdom, and my two cents.
NARS killed it. I loved every look, the backstage vibe. Francois Nars remains the master of color, and Zen Island living.
The emphasis this season was on the full brow and natural skin.
MAC Cosmetics' & VP of Makeup Gordon Espinet dominated the scene, with over 80 shows. Maybelline's presence was known. Queen Victoria Beckham requested Revlon, and the infamous, Gucci Westman.

I'll leave you with a few, favorite makeup looks, and then it's lights out. 'Til we meet again.

Anything Goes



Trendsetters. I always found the term a bit ridiculous. People wear clothes for tons of reasons. Stockbrokers, maids, teachers, janitors, supermodels, rock stars, nuns. We wear them to stay warm, out in the cold. To cool down, and jump in the sea.That first date, the wedding gown, our Sunday best. The person makes the outfit, a bit of moxy and anything goes. I know what I like, when I see it. I don't care about 'the rules.' Have fun, be kooky, experiment with different looks. becauseimaddicted.net blogger Geri Hirsch, Trends To Try This Fashion Week at LEAF Fashion Week on StyleHaul, is full on style, posh and young.
Who says you can't wear a jean shirt with jeans? None of the 80's rockers, that's for sure. Geri wears denim well. Short shorts, paired with a twill jacket, sophisticated and modern. Ah, to be young again, the sky's the limit and your own personal Fashion closet.

Back to makeup & beauty, the little Fashionable pretty things.

Pretty Young Thing



StyleHaul and http://bit.ly/LEAFNY have teamed up and are hitting NYFW, in style. Black Sedan, driver, ultimate luxury.
Makeup effortlessly applied by becauseimaddicted.net blogger Geri Hirsch, she gives us a front row seat, into her hectic day. Easy makeup application technique, Geri takes it up a notch. Filling in the brow, was right on point. (We've seen statement brows at countless shows this season, Tibi a major contender.) Individual lashes applied from the back seat of her car, genius! They change her whole look, opening her eye and creating a bit of mystery. Adding a funky liquid liner tip for the evening, using a business card or an invite, adds a bit of drama. (I was taught to use a credit card, but hey, whatever gets you through the night.)
The white applied inside the eye, at the crucial halfway point, was an Espresso pick me up, only better. Sans the jitters and the caffeine crash.
I would have like to seen a few brand mentions, for our readers and loyal fans of StyleHaul.com and http://bit.ly/LEAFNY. We still have a few days left, before wrapping up. Can't wait to see what Fashion and Beauty tricks Geri has, up her sleeve. So far, so good.

If I Were President

With all the political drama carrying on, I'll join in for two seconds. Womens' rights are being SERIOUSLY challenged, all over again. It's 2012, we have IPhones, Smartphones, Androids, Flat screens, Blue Ray, Electric Cars, landed on the Moon and Mars, yet still can't get along.
We disagree on the simplest of principals. Every single man, woman and child, deserves the right to be free. Freedom of choice is our birthright.

That's why today, I'm choosing nuNAAT. One because it's sexy, Brazilian luxe and two, because it makes my hair look like a million bucks. I'm a lady plain and simple, I'm allowed a few luxuries. Indulging in premium haircare, because I can. And because, I'm worth every hard earned nickel.


nuNAAT
















nuNAAT's Keratin line is "Everyday Moisture that Reduces Volume & Frizz"
       



"NAAT Brazilian Keratin collection restores and intensifies your hair's nutritional balance, leaving it incredibly smooth, strong and flexible. Unlike typical animal-based keratins, our exclusive Green Keratin formula stays in your hair longer and is more resistant to rinsing. Promotes vibrancy and hydration, giving hair a natural, healthy shine."
 

I am a fan of nuNAAT's Brazilian Liquid Keratin Leave-In Reconstructor. The whole line smells scrumptious, clean and fresh. I love the convenience of a leave in Liquid Keratin, let the product work it's magic, while you're on the go. My dull, treated hair looks shinier and healthier than it has in years.




 








With NY Fashion Week  & models hair gone wild, the locks fried by the end of the week. nuNAAT Intensive Hair Mask, a super deluxe rich cream, formulated with green keratin restores thickness, shine and softness. Just what the supermodel Dr. ordered. Leave on 15 minutes, you are one step away from silky, smooth hair again. I LOVE the radical pink do, but this beauty will need nuNAAT and some tender, loving haircare.

It's back to ruling the world, with gorgeous, glamorous locks.
Women unite. Remember, there is solidarity & strength in numbers.
That is beautiful.

Sittin' Up in My Room


 
Michael Duenas, Celebrity Hair Stylist and founder of Hair Room Services, has teamed up with StyleHaul, the largest original beauty & fashion video content to create a series called SuperStyled. With a global audience of 25 million style influences, Hair Room Services is sure to get noticed.
When I read his email with the link to his latest video, I was curious. I checked it out.
Entitled, "SUPERSTYLED Gym Edition: Dream of Charlize Theron," I couldn't resist.
I'm a fan of the razor edge, smart, beauty Charlize, from our modeling days in Miami Beach. The video is funny, a  pretty girl (striking resemblance to the chick with the fangs from The Bachelor) at the gym, sees a clip of Charlize on TV, & daydreams of getting glammed up. Only, it isn't a dream. The styling is awesome, leopard nails, hair whipped into a lovely up do like Charlize's, and a gorgeous, smokey makeup application. Watch the transformation, it's entertaining and educational. Let Hair Room Services come to you. Artists do it everyday, schlep their kits to celebs, fashion peeps in need. Mariah wants lashes, Liv's got a press junket, Robert can't leave his hotel for fear of getting trampled by paparazzi. He needs primping for late night TV. Beauty and fashion teams provide services day & night, but only Mr. Duenas will come to you. His genius concept of offering Hair Room Services to the ordinary Joe? No problem, an out of towner in need of a cut, makeup application? Sit back, relax and watch some TV. Even better watch the video, while you wait for your SuperStyled celebrity stylist. Everyone deserves superstar treatment, a little in house luxury. Roll out the red carpet.

Michael Duenas at Work

"HAIR ROOM SERVICE by Michael Dueñas is recognized as one of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Los Angeles’ most luxurious beauty amenities forin-room salon appointments. Top celebrity artists not only deliver beautiful haircuts, blowouts, personalized styling, makeup and nail applications, but they will climb your stairs and travel in any weather. Hair Room Service is a rewarding experience and the best part of any beauty regimen. Nothing can beat sitting back and relaxing in the comfort of your own surroundings. You will feel like a celebrity after having a visit from your own personal
celebrity artist. With ease and convenience, clients can arrange
for HAIR ROOM SERVICE to come to them for blowouts and styling for any occasion without working around busy salon hours. HAIR ROOM SERVICE takes the stress out of the client’s day, saves them time and energy and will arrive at their door regardless of time or weather.

The idea of HAIR ROOM SERVICE came to Michael during one
of his many travels. When staying at a hotel, a guest asked the
concierge where they could receive a haircut. Michael overheard
this and offered his services. Michael realized that finding a
salon and a good stylist can be challenging for clients when they
are traveling. Upon his return home, HAIR ROOM SERVICE was

born."

Rover, Is There Anyone Out There?


"At the moment of launch, the blue planet and the red planet were 127 million miles (205 million km) apart, which is less than a third of the maximum distance they reach during their differing orbits around the sun."
Eight months, 13,000 mph, and 2.5 billion dollars later, Rover is successfully hanging out on Mars.  Taking pictures. That's a whole lot of dough and distance. MAC COSMETICS created the galactic, Heavenly Creature Collection right here, on the blue planet.
Light years ahead, and always in tune with modern times.

"Eyes go glamorously inter-galactic with these 9 limited-edition Mineralize Eye Shadows. For celestial effects, apply with the 286 Duo Fibre Blending Brush. Add False Lashes mascara for a truly otherworldly look." - MAC COSMETICS

Heavenly Creature Mineralize Eye Shadow
MAC'S Heavenly Creature Mineralize Eye Shadows are sublime. We mortals can outdo any Martian, wearing pearlized, planetary shades of color. Worn dry, the shadows create a subtle look, worn wet and the hues intensify, lasting well into the night. In 9, limited edition shades, pick up your favorite hue.
Sky Sample, in swirls of sky blue with specks of green-gold dust, looks futuristic & modern swirled atop the eyelid.
Magentic Attraction, a deep copper hue with golden swirls, reminds me of the desert and her warmth & colors of a setting sunset.
Neo Nebula, has a metallic silver running through light pink, mauve and a lovely plum. I love Nebula, swept lightly over the eye for day, and heavier into night.
                                                     


 Mineralize Skin Finish Light Years
MAC'S  Mineralize Skinfinish has four shades in limited edition. Light Year, a shimmer highlighter is my favorite. Its peachy- pink tone is subtle and shimmer, all at once. Paired with MAC'S Bronzing Powder, it's a shining light of soft colour, complimenting the browbone, high cheeks and nose for a celestial effect.


Heavenly Creature Colour Collection
Cremesheen





Cremesheen Glass, creamy gloss with a touch of sheen, MAC'S stand out, gloss signature. Super comfy, wearable, in 5 new non- stick, delish shades. Cremesheen, Heavenly Creature Colour Collection Limited Edition is other worldly.
Celestial Kiss, a barely there cool peach, with lustre is summer fab. Strictly Plutonic a medium tone brown-pink, gives the lips spot on color, that shines sans the sparkle. Both lovely, guilty pleasures.


Celestial Kiss










MAC Lipsticks complete Heavenly Creature Colour Collection with signature flare & simmer. MAC, infamous for their ethereal Lipsticks. Viva Glam continues to push the envelope, with bold, confident Spokespersons & cutting edge, new makeup trends, staying ahead on the map.
Cut A Caper, a pink- coral, looks pretty for winding down the last, lazy days of summer. Caper, a semi-opaque lip, worn with nude, glistening skin and a touch of mascara delivers a young, fresh look.
Venus, a barely there subtle-pink, with a hint of specks of gold. Sheer cover with a shimmering feel.
Fire Sign, an opaque red with a pink undertone. Fire Sign is great for day events, the office, or even first dates where subtle, sexy red makes an under statement.
A girl's gotta have options. MAC delivers an out of this world menu, 
guaranteed to satisfy all Heavenly Creature's palette.

"At the moment of launch, the blue planet and the red planet were 127 million miles (205 million km) apart, which is less than a third of the maximum distance they reach during their differing orbits around the sun."

Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves


Chrystal Copland for Anna Sui Cosmetics shot by Steven Meisel


Mad props go out to Fusion Model Management, " a high fashion boutique modeling agency based in New York City. Made up of lots of interesting characters that get to tell a story." 
I think the most fascinating story is that of its owner & founder, Jody Gordon.

An agent with a crazy work ethic, I have watched Fusion evolve from a concept, and grow into one of the top 10 agencies in New York City. Jody has smarts, savvy, a great eye and killer instinct. As an agent, she's disciplined, with a 'tell it like it is' integrity, a no nonsense drive that comes with firsthand experience. She's an expert in fashion and has built an impressive, model & client portfolio. As a woman, I couldn't be more proud of her accomplishments. I love it when a lady kicks butt in a man's world. Fusion continues to grow leaps and bounds. When persistence pays off, success happens. 

Anna Sui Autumn Collection
Can we talk about the fierce, Anna Sui makeup campaign? Featuring Fusion model, Chrystal Copland? The picture is stunning, soft, pretty, edgy, modern & mysterious all at once. The makeup is GORGE. Anna's favorite color, purple, blended with black. There are 8 different shades of purple to mix & match, in the signature compact. Eye Shadow Palette can be paired with 41 shades. The Rebel Girl wears her makeup how she wants, when she wants. The neutral, barely there lip, is oh so sexy, paired with a rocker chick eye. The ever so slight, lavender hair extensions, lovely. Steven Meisel, the master of illusion keeps his edge and creates a story. Every time.
Anna Sui Limited Edition Autumn Lip


Fusion's Evolution
"Jody’s decision to open her own agency was never a preconceived notion―it happened by chance and luck.
Seventeen years ago, she was a successful model in Australia. An agent from Ford Models saw her in a catalog, contacted the ad agency she worked for and asked her to come to New York City.
Going from a small town of 600 to New York City was one of the most profound moments of her life. She loved the fast pace of the city and had a blossoming career. But in order to stay in America she really wanted to work for herself, so when an opportunity presented itself, one thing led to another and she found herself the owner of Fusion Model Management."
