Text Box: Every so often we will let you know of some Beauty products you might not know about but should!  As I just turned 40 and my mother a baby boomer in her sixties, we have the demographics covered with trying every beauty product that exists, especially the anti-aging products!  As time marches across my face from excessive tanning, growing up on the beaches in So Cal to now living in the desert of Arizona, we went from beach moisture to extreme dryness without ever leaving our beloved sunshine.  As we see thousands of you at our shows, we notice we all have one thing in common, the love of Beauty & Fashion.  I look forward to trying new products and get excited when they actually work!  I love being my age and I am definitely not trying to be or look 20 again, but I do think that you can improve your appearance if you work at it.  Being disciplined is a must.  Your products will not work to their full potential if you do not use them regularly.  As I am not a beauty expert, I have always been a product junkie trying everything on the market and I look forward to reporting my experiences to you.  Being an award winning independent film producer in Hollywood, I worked with some amazing makeup artists and always made sure they told me their tricks of the trade.  From being a member of Women In Film to now a member of CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women), I can't tell you how much I love the beauty industry.  I would like to share with you in this Beauty Blog some of our favorite beauty products.  We will continue to share these products with you on a regular basis.  We hope you love them as much as we do!   In Love & Beauty,  Kandice

Text Box: It all starts with amazing SKIN, a perfect canvas. This section will cover all skin care; cleansers, exfoliators, masks, treatments, serums, moisturizers, sunscreens and more. I have so many recommendations in this area.  I will start with one of our favorite exfoliating treatments, KATE SOMERVILLE'S EXFOLIKATE.  We all know how important it is to exfoliate.  Your serums and moisturizers will not work properly unless they can penetrate into your skin.  Remove those dead skin cells to healthy skin!  Kate is a Celebrity favorite and a skin care goddess.  She developed a product that exfoliates and moisturizes your way to unbelievable skin.  If you can't make it to her Medi Spa in Los Angeles, then the next best thing is her signature facial right in your own home.  Use this only once or twice a week to achieve your most radiant skin.  All it takes is one time to see results.  It might seem a little pricey to you, but I know you will pay to see results!  Buy it at KateSomerville.com or Nordstrom for $85.00.   Pretty up your FACE with some color. This section will cover all primers, foundations, blushes, powders and more. There is nothing better than sunkissed cheeks in summer.  With SMASHBOX COSMETIC'S DESERT CHIC FUSION EYE & CHEEK COLOR you can accomplish this in one easy compact.  Swirl the desert-inspired shades together for a perfect blend of gorgeousness.  You will get the perfect radiant glow with this product.  This compact will last you all summer and then some.  Buy it at Smashbox.com or Ulta for $28.00. You know the saying, the EYES are the window into your soul. This section will cover all eye care creams, serums, moisturizers, shadows, concealers, eye liners, mascara, lash conditioners and more. I found a product that literally changed the look of my face.  I have to tell you I was a skeptic when it came to lash conditioners and their hefty prices.  My mom Cori and I tried a product for two different reasons and it worked wonders on both of us.  I had average lashes and was always on the hunt for that perfect mascara to lengthen and thicken them... look no more... I tried the Scottsdale-based LILASH PURIFIED EYELASH STIMULATOR and was blown away by the results.  I now have eyelashes that are full, thick, long and just fabulous on their own.  My mom had very short lashes that you could barely see from years of strips, extensions and glue abuse.  She now has eyelashes that are getting longer and fuller everyday.  I have to tell you that you must be patient with this product.  It took a good 30-60 days to see such amazing results but with a 90 day money-back guarantee, time is on your side.  It is a bit pricey but worth every penny.  Buy it at Lilash.com for $139.97. Pucker up those kissable LIPS. This section will cover all lip care treatments, glosses, lip pencils, lipsticks and more. For those days where I just want a little color and a whole lot of shine, I always grab for my PHILOSOPHY'S RASPBERRY SORBET FLAVORED LIP SHINE.  This lip gloss is a bit sticky, but that is a good thing!  You don't want to constantly have to reapply your lip gloss.  I love the Raspberry because not only does it taste great, it gives a nice pink color that is so appealing.  They have many flavors to choose from if you are not a fan of Raspberry.  Maybe you tried the delicious Cinnamon Buns that Philosophy gave in one of our Beauty Gift Bags at a past event.  On a hot summer day when you want to be make up free, these lip glosses are a must have for those kissable lips.  Buy it at Philosophy.com or at Sephora for $12.00.  Your HAIR shows a lot about your personal style. This section will cover all hair care; shampoo, conditioners, treatments, styling products, tools, hair accessories and more. With all of us coloring our hair, straightening our hair, the wear and tear takes it's toll.   We have found a product that is just fabulous in treating our brittle and dry hair!  FREDERIC FEKKAI'S PROTEIN RX REPARATIVE TREATMENT MASK prevents damage, restores and rebuilds your hair.  An intensive soy and milk protein mask that helps mend and prevent breaks and splits in heat-damaged, over-processed hair.  Use it 1-2 times a week.  It smells wonderful and the results are priceless!   Buy at Sephora  $29.00 I am a big fan of the MASON PEARSON HAIR BRUSH.  One of my makeup artists bought this brush for me and she told me that it was a "must have" in beauty.  These brushes are not mass produced.  Made in London, mostly by hand, with only the finest boar bristle, this brush is pure luxury.  Brushing stimulates your scalp and increases the blood flow to your roots.  Buy at Beauty.com for $151.00. In this heat, your BODY needs your attention. This section will cover all body care; body scrubs, exfoliators, body washes, lotions & creams, self tanning products, moisturizers, shave creams, sunscreen and more. There is a product that I will never be without and I mean never!  PHILOSOPHY'S AMAZING GRACE PERFUMED FIRMING BODY EMULSION is a product that will hydrate you beautifully as well as having you smell so feminine all day long.  People stop me all the time and say "you smell so good," and you can't get a better compliment than that!  Actually last week I was in Starbucks with my mom Cori and a guy walked by and said "Ok, who is the one who smells so good?"  We couldn't answer him and tell him which one of us it was, because we were both wearing this lotion!  I wear this lotion daily for the moisturizing benefits it provides but also because there is nothing better than smelling good!  I recommend this life changing lotion to everyone!  Buy at Philosophy.com or Sephora for $34.00. There is nothing better than the look of a healthy tan.  TAN TOWEL is a product perfect for summer and year round to keep a nice golden tan.  I find these self-tanning  towelettes very easy to use without any streaking.  It gives me a natural golden tan color and not that orangey look.  You might have tried this product in one of our past event's Beauty Gift Bags, if so, you know how great it is.  Buy at Tantowel.com or Ulta for $21.00. In a sandal wearing state, Pretty FEET are a must. This section will cover all foot care; scrubs, creams, pumice stones, pedicure products, toe nail polishes and more. I have to say I am usually a creature of habit when it comes to toe nail color.  Usually a sexy pink color is my forte but occasionally I jump out of my comfort zone for a new color.  I went through the black nail polish phase but I always venture back to the pretty in pink colors.  l found a color that is summer perfect!  Try OPI'S NAIL LACQUER in CAJUN SHRIMP.  lt is a nice blend of coral with a hint of pink.  Buy it at Ulta for $8.50.   Our "Gotta Have It" Beauty Gift Bags. We always have brand name products in our event's famous Beauty Gift Bag.  You never know what products you will receive but they are always fabulous! Make sure you buy an Advance Ticket to the next event so you don't miss out on trying the best in beauty products!
