I Love You Mom!
Filed Under Blog, Makeup, Nails, Seasonal, Skin Care |
My mom is a classic beauty with a sexy edge. The kind of classic beauty that comes to mind when you think of Natalie Wood and Elizabeth Taylor. She began setting an extraordinary example for powerful women at an early age by using both her intellectual abilities and beauty together. Working in the Stock Market, Modeling, and performing with her beautiful opera trained voice - beauty and brains, the ultimate woman. Today she continues her pursuits by bringing her beauty and talent into homes all over southern california with her gorgeous and unique interior design company, Romancing Your Home Designs.
My mom started me of on the path to a love of beauty when she took me for my first highlights at age twelve, I loved it so much I’ve never returned to my natural color. She bought me my first mud face mask, Fango Active Mud by Princess Marcella Borghese. I loved that mask, religiously using it once a week and occasionally splurging and doing an all over body mask, at age fifteen I felt like such a woman. My mom also gave me the gift of great skin care, taking me to my first skin consultation at Clinique and starting me of on a commitment to a glowing completion.
Today, on Mother’s day I offer a tribute to my mom. My best friend, confidant, and an extraordinary woman. These are her beauty secrets, ssshhh! This is just between us girls. Here’s to you mom, I love you! (Whew! After writing this I need some of those chic sniffs tissues with the lips all over them. My mom would use the leopard print version.)
Air Stockings Premier Silk: This stuff rocks! It sprays on and looks just like hosiery without the added discomfort of another piece of clothing. Washes off with soap and water. Mom likes natural for just a tinge of natural hosiery.
OPI in Red: The classic of all beauty classics. This is a true red nail polish, the kind to wear on a sleek sexy night with your smokiest eye.
LipSense Lipstick: This permanent lipstick leaves your lips soft and will not, by any means, come off on your glass or your man! Gorgeous colors!
Emlin Concentree: Wrinkles be gone! This stuff really works for the toughest wrinkles. Makes your skin soft as southern humidity does!
My mom’s beauty secrets would not be complete without the colors that match her skin, hair and eye tones. She is a deep autumn with dark hair and dark eyes and she would not be caught dead in colors that didn’t look good on her. I would say this is her number one secret to looking young, beautiful, and sparklingly (yes, I made up that word) noticeable!
