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!

These tools are designed using HW2 technology which incorporates a ceramic material naturally occurring mineral-laden earth that has matured for 4,000 years in the Red Pine Forest of the deepest mountain in Korea.  The HW2 is combined with the best quality crushed Tourmaline gems.  The Ego styling tools have substance, emitting the greatest possible number of negative ions, far-infrared rays and anions (to remove toxins).  They have energy, thanks to the double sided honeycomb shaped HW2 molecules, speeding up drying time, leaving hair in better condition, reducing static, retaining moisture and preventing the hair from fying when heat styling.  They are light weight so less arm stress and they have a feature that prevents the tool from over heating and damaging the motor.
