Whole Lotta Rosy - L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone Mask and Moisturizer review.

I have used L'Oreal Paris products before, so I was
excited when I received samples of the Age Perfect Rosy Tone Mask and Moisturizer to review.

While I don't exactly identify (yet) to Helen Mirren, I am supposedly in the "mature skin" range so I decided to give it a go...

Who's it for?

It's marketed for mature skin, and is supposed to give it that "healthy, rosy, youthful glow".
According to L'Oreal, the Imperial Peonny Extract and LHA's in the mask, work to slough away the dead skin cells and reveal a renewed skin surface.While the day cream has a (very) pink tint to it, which add to the "glow" to give you that just scrubbed look.

How do you use it?

After washing your face, apply the mask in circular motion to gently exfoliate and leave on for 5 mins, then rinse off and apply the moisturizer. 


Does it work?

I wanted to like this, but to be honest I was very disappointed. 
The mask was slightly irritating to my skin. I usually am not sensitive to fruit acids, but I could barely last the full 5 minutes. As if the burning sensation wasn't enough to get me to rinse, the smell definitely was.

As a rule, I do not like scented products on my face, but this went to the extreme - I was so bothered by it that I had to wash my face twice more with a different product just to stop from smelling it.

The day cream, although it felt silky smooth, and not as heavy as I thought it would, left my face a little too "rosy" for my liking and made me look as if I just had a chemical peel.
Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Sorry, L'Oreal, for me this was not a hit, but a big
miss !

The long awaited post about THE MAKEUP SHOW !

I know, I know,..... it's been forever since my last post, and I could make excuses and say " a cross country move, a breakup, another move, (not necessarily in that order)...sometimes life gets in the way"..... but truth be told, I got sooooo much loot at the makeup show that I wanted to be able to actually use it, and not just on myself, but on my clients, so that when I spoke to you about it, I'd actually have something to say. So without further adieu, I give you ..... The Makeup Show LA Bloggger Bag There was so much in this "goodie bag" that I almost don't know where to start.  I have a few favorites that I could go on and on about so I'll leave those for last. I will say this, there are some things that I selfishly will keep in my own makeup bag that my pro-kit will never know about!!! ***to purchase all these products, just click on the underlined links below*** First up Model in a Bottle, @ModelinaBottle One of my friend Step

I'd like to thank the Academy.......

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to do makeup and hair for the Oscar's. It was a long awaited dream of mine and I feel so blessed that it came true! So in true Oscar fashion, I would like to thank some of the people that helped me achieve this dream, or at least made their products available for me to use at the Oscars. You all know how much I love taking pictures of my layout! this one is one of my favorites! First and foremost, I would like to thank Diane at KohGenDo Cosmetics for generously supplying the makeup I used. Here are the products that I used to get those award winning looks: I started the day by making sure everyone was relaxed and their skin was hydrated by giving each of my clients 10 minutes of down time with a Macro Vintage Essence Mask. Then I primed their skin with PeterThomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Primer For those that needed a little extra help with sallow skin I used Maifanshi Makeup Color Base La

Celebrity Red Carpet Makeup & Hair Whitney Cummings

I recently had the pleasure of doing makeup & hair on another one of my favorite funny ladies, Whitney Cummings. If I didn't know better, I'd say I'm starting to become the female comics makeup artist. First Sarah Silverman, then Margaret Cho, Parker Posey and now Whitney Cummings? You may remember Whitney from Chelsea Lately's roundtable, or "roasts" of Joan Rivers, David Hasselhoff, and Donald Trump. Her next project is an NBC sitcom called appropriately "Whitney". I met Whitney at her hotel, her face scrubbed clean, and could not get over how flawless her skin was! She is absolutely gorgeous, the Angelina Jolie of comedy. She has the most beautiful alabaster skin, unlike most LA women she isn't sprayed orange or tanned, so I wanted to let her true complexion shine through. Since her skin was already moisturized, I started with KohGenDo's Makeup Color Base in green, just to tone down any redness Then I used Aqua Foundation in PK
