Last Friday Total Beauty Experience offered FREE make-overs by Jane Iredale consultant and educator, Stacie - an event I just could not pass up! And what perfect timing too; my husband and I had a dinner and movie night planned for that evening so the make-over made our date that much more thrilling.

But I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t pass up a free make-over. As soon as one lovely lady’s face was flawlessly finished, another was waiting to be pampered and painted with makeup designed to keep skin healthy and young. 

Meanwhile, Stacie, an expert makeup artist, really listened to each of us when she asked what kind of skin we have, how we usually apply makeup, and what we’re doing that evening so that she could give us fabulous faces for all our occasions. She also described the products she used and demonstrated how to apply them.  

Now I have a new favorite mineral foundation – Natural PurePressed® Base Mineral Foundation – SPF 20. This foundation is feels light, like I’m not even wearing it and doesn’t clog pores or dry out my skin. What’s even more brilliant is once I run out, I can simply go back to Total Beauty Experience and get the container refilled! How’s that for saving the environment and my face!

Another product Stacie used on all the ladies is the amazing Dream Tint® – SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer. This mineral foundation is hydrates the skin, preventing water loss while calming inflammation. It also minimizes the look of large pores and fine lines. Add to that, the magic of SPF and you’ve got your face covered iwth UVA protection. LOVE IT!!!

We each left with free samples and beautiful faces. I returned to my office feeling like a super model, hoping that Stacie returns to Total Beauty Experience again so I can learn more makeup techniques and try out the latest skin care make up by Jane Iredale!

There’s a brand new name in hair styling – the formally known T3 brand is now Ego Professional and has wants to share it’s ego with yours. Ego Professional hair straighteners, hair dryers, and curling irons are the most technologically advanced hair appliances that money can buy.

Furthermore, when you glide your hair through the plates, you’ll notice less hand/arm stress and no hair pulling and tangling. The flat iron’s vibrating motion diminishes pressure-point “hot spots” resulting in noticeably less straightening effort on your part due to reduced hair-to-plate friction. Straighten, curl, flip, style, and let the vibrations do the rest!

    temp. of 428°F in less than 30 sec. with low
