Get Your Gleam On!

Last weekend, going to the Preakness Race was a last minute event. As in, oh Lord what am I going to wear & I need a to get a fabulous hat STAT! Never mind the state of my legs, I seriously could be an extra in the Twilight series I'm so pale! Enter Gleam by Melanie Mills. Melanie is the former head make-up artist on Dancing With The Stars- you know the show with all the stars with the gorgeous gams? It was all thanks to her magic touch {alright & maybe a smidge due to the stars working out 10 hours a day!} Melanie developed Gleam for us mere civilians so our skin can 'gleam' just like her celebrity clients!

Swatches from left: Deep Gold, Bronze Gold, Rose Gold & Light Gold
The esthetician in me loves that the lotion has skin nurturing olive oil and jojoba oil, as well as antioxidant green and white tea extracts. Gleam also helps hide imperfections when you're baring more skin in the summertime- it gives a candle light glow to the skin. Best of all, it's transfer resistant! It comes in 4 shades to match any skin tone.

Here are the shades blended more into the skin, still in the same order. Since I'm so pale I just assumed that Light Gold would be my shade, but my favorite cocktail is the Rose Gold with a little dollop of Light Gold mixed in for my very own custom gorgeous Gleam!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

*Samples were sent so I could get my Gleam on!

All That Glitters

"You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter"

-Drew Barrymore

I couldn't have said it better girleens! I got a gift certificate to Sephora for my birthday & I think it was redeemed within an hour of receiving it! If Tinker Bell was really flitting around- do you know what would be in her sparkle arsenal? Tarina Tarantino. I seriously can imagine her delicately spritzing the Sparklicity Fairy Dust (ahem Shimmer Dust) over the land. It's like a spritz of subtle magic & I had to have it. The bottle is divine in it's own right.

Pure Magic? Sparklicity Pure! It is a pure dose of glamour & light. You can build intensity or sheer it down. I've been putting it on my lids, for just an added oomph. The container will last you a long time & when I wear it, I just feel special.

Here are both products on my hand. The straight line is of Sparklicity Pure, while I spritzed the more delicate Sparklicity Shimmer Dust lightly on top. It is beautiful on the decollete. So don't be afraid at any age to add some sparkle back into life, a gal never wants to be dull!

Peace. love. Glimmer. M
