Do you want to know how to achieve that radiantly dewy complexion?


Wonder what these girls are using to be so camera ready? I've got the answer..."Benefit High Beam".  This luminescent complexion enhancer is a supermodel secret. Naturally, when I want my clients during photo shoots to appear dewy and dreamy this is a favorite. Brides appear perfectly angelic on their wedding day.   

 It's super easy to apply since it comes in small glass bottle just like  nail polish. Just dab small dots where the pink dots are located on the face chart, blend with your finger tips or make up brush and go!  Benefit High Beam is a supermodel secret in a bottle that gives you that angelic look, it is my all time favorite product to use on clients for wedding events as well as photo shoots.  
You can get this product at Sephora

Summer Must Haves!!!

Hi everyone,
We want to share with all of you some of our top  must haves this summer... 



 1. Sun Screen!!!

OXYGEN Botanicals Total Sun protection SPF 30

Non-greasy, physical block with micronized titanium dioxide providing excellent broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Contains active ingredients that have excellent UV absorption capabilities and good safety profiles. Octyl Palmitate and Octyl Stearate provide a good moisture barrier and reduce the speed of transepidermal water loss, leaving the skin smooth and protected from the damaging rays of the sun. Pleasant, green apple natural fragrance.






2. DR. SCHRAMMEK Blemish Balm

The light texture evens the complexion and hides tiny imperfections. Panthenol and bisabolol calm and smooth irritated skin. Redness and impurities disappear more quickly while they are perfectly concealed by the natural skin shades. Has a gentle matting effect and diminishes the shine of oily skin. Excellent for all skin types. Comes in 4 shades. Also suitable as a make-up base.

Indian Beauty Methods














India is a country known for its vibrant colors, rich culture, and timeless traditions. What many don't know, is that India has been at the center of all-natural beauty techniques that have been used for 100's of years. Below is an account of 4 of these traditional beauty methods, and their benefits.

Threading is a centuries-old technique of hair removal practiced in India, and rapidly growing in popularity across the United States. Being that it is 100%  natural, it is especially recommended for sensitive skin. The beautician removes individual or rows of unwanted hair by using string or “thread”, and pulling out the hairs by the follicle. Threading is better than other methods of facial hair removal including waxing, tweezing, and razors. Waxing is not as precise; it burns, peels, and scars skin, and repeated waxing on the face (especially the eyebrow area) can cause premature wrinkles. Tweezing and razors often times cut the skin and cause ingrown hairs. Unlike all 3 of the mentioned methods, threading is precise, gentle on the skin, and is actually excellent for removing ingrown hairs.    

Sugaring is an all-natural method of removing unwanted hair, much like waxing. The key ingredients in sugar wax are lemon and sugar, each of which have their own benefitting properties. Lemon is known for its naturally astringent qualities, and is an excellent cleansing agent. Sugar is a natural exfoliant in beauty, ridding the skin of dead cells. Most clients say that sugaring hurts less than traditional waxing, and redness if any, fades quickly.  There are absolutely no chemicals in sugar wax, and is therefore ideal for sensitive skin.

Henna, also a centuries-old tradition in India, is used to create intricate hand art designs.  The paste of a ground plant, naturally in a reddish-brown dye, is used to create temporary “tattoos” which last between 1-3 weeks. In India, henna has traditionally been used on women before special occassions, holidays, and weddings. In addition to using henna on the body (usually hands and feet), henna has also been used on the hair to color gray hairs to a reddish-brown, and to deeply condition non-gray hairs. It's an excellent alternate for pregnant women who would like to maintain their appearance, but cannot use the harsh chemicals found in mainstream hair coloring kits.
Turmeric is a yellow spice used in much of Indian cooking. It has also been used as a Ayurvedic beauty agent.   Turmeric not only has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, but also corrects hyperpigmentation and softens the skin. For these reasons, many Indian brides use a turmeric treatment to prepare for their wedding day - it leaves skin even-toned, shiny, soft, and supple.
