My ALL TIME FAVORITE "Go-to" Powder Foundation!

Being the ultimate "Beauty Junkie" that I am, the *hunt* for the latest and greatest in product gratification never relents...However! After stumbling upon this lil' gem of a powder foundation (oh...probably just under a year or so ago) I have to admit that my hunting spirit has waned in  pursuit of  trying to find a similarly functioning product that could possibly out perform this one....why? Because this product just so happens to meet and exceed all of my expectations....and then some...

Let me introduce to you my HOLY GRAIL of powder foundations-

Emani Minerals Flex Pressed Foundation!!!!!

Never before have I seen such flawless results from using a compact powder foundation! Not only does this powder manage to cover my imperfection laden face more than flawlessly, but its also chalk full of beneficial, anti-aging nutrients that make my overly sensitive skin not only happy, but also completely, 100%, free of any and all  irritants whatsoever! That's a major "win win" in  my book!

I urge any and all to give this wonderful foundation a try. It's made by a small, lesser known brand, but it truly packs a major PUNCH in delivery and ingredient integrity! Give it a try and leave some of your own feedback here! We love to share reader reviews!

Love, Light, and a really great LipGloss,
La'Merz ~ <3


PS. I layer this foundation like crazy throughout the day...(alone, over my airbrush foundation for an extra matte finish, etc etc.) And it NEVER looks cakey!!! How many foundations can pull that feat off?! Sorry...I'm just absolutely head over heels for this stuff!!! hehe! ;) yay Emani!) <3

Have any of you ever  tried Jane Iredale's PureLash Extender & Conditioner?!

 

It is by far the BEST eyelash primer I've ever tried. My eyelashes appear considerably longer when I apply this before my regular mascara, and I don't have the same *clumping problem* I always encountered with other priming formulas. But that's not even the best part! My lashes have grown immensely since I started using this (took a couple of months before I was able to see a dramatic difference) and I definitely have less breakage and loss than I had prior. It's really a great product! I recommended it to my sister a few months back (even bought her her first tube!) and she's been hooked every since. I've seen a dramatic difference in the length of her eyelashes as well! :) Here's some further info from the website in case any of you might be interested...

 

 

Jane Iredale PureLash Conditioner:

"PureLash provides a much-needed step towards unbelievable lashes. A simple coat of this revolutionary formula before applying mascara will help strengthen, lengthen and thicken your lashes, making the mascara twice as effective."

 

Ingredients: Water/Eau/Aqua, Algae Extract, Beeswax, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Oleic Acid, Vanilla Tahitensis Fruit Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract.

(Note: I highlighted "Algae Extract" because it has been proven to be an effective ingredient for conditioning and protecting lashes!)

Jenna's Wedding- 8.20.2011! (Gallery photos)

 Makeup time for the Maid of Honor....

 Farah and Jamie hard at work....

 A joy to spend time with whilst she was in our chair, Amie was so sweet to patiently indulge our request to take picture after picture while we tried to troubleshoot the malfunctioning of our camera. She sat and smiled (so beautifully) ;) for so long....thank you Amie!!

 Another great shot of Amie. (Bridesmaid)

 The Bride! Jenna Williams (Who requested her makeup  be sultry yet natural for her late afternoon, summer time, outdoor garden ceremony & reception - both of which were held at a beautiful private residence not far from the beach in the city of Ventura, CA.

Completing her naturally flawless yet gorgeous look, Jenna's hair was styled in tousled, loose curls- compliments a la- Mary Drury! Jenna perfectly exudes the essence of an "August Bride"! ( Her wedding colors were a classy and sophisticated combination of pale pinks, creams, and a pewter/platinum twist on the classic color formally known as "gray" (it's outgrown its own mundane description I'm afraid.) - Jenna executed prime utilization of such a pretty "palette" as seen in her choice of bridesmaid's dresses- beautiful gray, 3/4 length "frocks" (if you will), that were flattering on all and could definitely be worn again ( a big plus!) for any type of special occasion.

Congratulations Jenna!!!! Happy Honeymoon'ing to you and your new hubby! ;-p

la'Merz Airbrush Makeup Artistry********: F.A.Q.

 What is airbrush makeup? Airbrushing is a patented makeup application technique that utilizes compressed air to spray on a fine mist of makeup. It is the preferred technique for digital photography, high definition TV, and bridal work. Airbrushing makeup provides a camera ready velvety texture that lays on the skin in an even, misted pattern, creating the most natural finish to the naked eye that's virtually invisible on the digital screen. 

How does it feel? Airbrush makeup is exceptionally lightweight. Most clients say they feel as if they aren’t even wearing makeup. 

What are the benefits of airbrush makeup? Airbrush makeup provides flawless coverage by minimizing skin imperfections while giving skin a beautifully natural finished looking result.  It is water resistant and will last for up to fourteen hours or more.

Does it cover tattoos, scars, etc? Yes, with airbrush makeup all skin imperfections including tattoos, scars, bruises, vitiligo, birthmarks, & stretch marks can be concealed! Furthermore, airbrush makeup is dermatologist recommended for post-op patients and even the most sensitive of skin conditions.

Is airbrush makeup right for everyone? Airbrush makeup is suitable for people of all ages and every skin condition. The makeup is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. In fact “Airbrush Makeup” is the only makeup that is suitable for the new “High Definition” standard in television.
