Haute People Product review

Hi Guys! I recently received these 8 products from DivaGlam Cosmetics in Dixon California.

The Products were packaged really nicely in a bubble wrapped envelope and also a really nice purple and pink gift paper with a little ribbon 🙂 Packaging is really important to me. You could have the best product in the world and you just throw it in a bag … and it loses the effect. So kudos to the DivaGlam Cosmetics team for that.

Here is what i received :

Mineral Liquid Foundation
This shade is called “Warm Yellow” . Even though this was not in my skin tone , i still actually tried it at home (in my bathroom ..lol) just to test the texture. I like that its creamy and lightweight. Quite often , liquid make-up tends to feel “heavy” or “cakey” . This one has a really nice smooth velvet finish.
The unique thing about this foundation is that it comes with like a mini- plastic like brush, so you can actually “paint” it on for a more even finish.

Pressed Mineral Powder

This was in the shade of Medium Dark , however it was still too light for my skin . It is a “pressed” powder , however it goes from cream to powder . It comes in a “3 way” compact , pretty much like an Iman Foundation.The first part has a clear plastic showcasing the foundation,then under that you will find a sponge and a mirror. Let me tell you … the sponge is really really soft , you can tell that its a top quality sponge. This is as the name suggests ” compact” . Everything is included 🙂

Fire Opal Eye Shadow

I loooove this shadow! It has a kinda “Rust Gold” thing to it. I know that sounds scary , but its really pretty. I especially love the fact that it comes in a little shaker so it minimizes spilling. I also love the sleek clear container it comes in.

Eye-shadow and Shimmer

The eye shadow is in the shade “Chain Link” and its #569 . This is a dark grayish shade. This is great for a smokey eye , and because its not extremely black , it can even be used to create a really subtle “Daytime Smokey Eye”. What i really like about this is that , it has shimmer in it. So if you are like me and like a little shimmer in your eye shadow , you will love this 🙂
The Shimmer i received is called “Heart Strings” and it is #26 . Ok so i have this weird thing about smelling make-up right? It smells like French Vanilla 🙂 Its like a really light gold , so when the sun hits it , it reflects beautifully. You can use this to create a daytime look or maybe a “Golden Godess” Diva look .. like J.LO 🙂
Both products are available in what are known as “pots” . I actually prefer the individual pots than the compact shadows , it makes me feel like the shadow was made just for me 🙂

Moisturize Rich Lipstick

I have to be totally honest , i’m not much of a “Lipstick Girl” , but i’m really starting to get out of my comfort zone and try different things. This one is called ” Cherry Bomb”. Its a sort of dark purple mixed with a little red. Its not too red , nor is it too purple. It goes on like butter. You can feel your lips being moisturized. This lipstick is not one of those that is susceptible to “feathering” , it goes on and spreads out evenly on your lips. Also , it is packaged in a little Lipstick box , then the case itself , feels like really soft velvet 🙂 Again packaging is great !

Lip Polish

This Lip Polish is really “Glossy”. Its kinda like the aftermath of Lipstick+ LipGloss all in one little container :-) I like that its reaaaaally red. So if you are looking to do a Dramatic Red Lip , i highly recommend this product. However , since its soo red , i would recommend applying it lightly.

Lip Liner

I received this Lip liner in Burnt Red. This is quite similar to a “Kohl lip liner”. It is a “True Color” , meaning that it goes on red and you only need to apply once , its quite effective. No “Double Lining” necessary. I especially love the fact that its gray and not the traditional “black” color , with the color on the tip, i believe that beauty products should be pretty

I must say that i loved each and every one of these products. I love where DivaGlam cosmetics is going with their line and the thought that went into developing and packaging these products. If you want the “Diva Look” , check out DivaGlam Cosmetics on the links below :

The Secret To A Flawless Foundation Application

You’ve finally found the perfect foundations for your skin tone, but what about application? Not knowing where to start and how to layer your makeup can sometimes be worse than having the wrong shade! And if you’re a woman of color, it’s essential to mix your foundations to enhance the natural dimensions of your face. We chatted with celebrity makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor—who has worked with Nina Garcia and Kerry Washington—about how to create complexion perfection.

“The most common mistake I see with women of color is having one flat shade over their entire face,” says Andrew. It’s important to have two or three shades that you can blend on your face to create a flawless, naturally dimensional complexion. To start, you should apply a concealer under your eyes.“The concealer should be two shades lighter than your skin,” says Andrew. Yellow concealer works better on darker skin tones than beige concealer, which often turns grayish-blue on women of color. Then, “apply a lighter shade of foundation in the center of the face—on the cheeks, the middle of the forehead, the nose, and the chin,” says Andrew. “Use a damp sponge in a tapping motion for sheer coverage. Or if you are using a foundation brush, try a sweeping motion to diffuse the product and create a smooth, well-blended effect.” Because many women of color have darker areas around the chin and forehead, it is important to use a different shade that mimics the skin tones in these areas. “To avoid getting an ashy look on your forehead or jaw, apply the darker shade of foundation across the hairline, under the cheekbones, and along the jaw,” says Andrew. Be sure to blend well with the other foundations. But what about getting back that healthy radiance? “For a glowing complexion, apply a shimmering or pearlescent highlighter across the cheekbones. Women of color should avoid silver-based highlighters as the metallic tint won’t look natural on their complexions.” Instead, “try copper or gold for medium skin tones, and gold or bronze for deeper skin tones,” says Andrew. You can also dab a little bit of highlighter on the hairline, bridge of the nose, and chin to create a subtle glow where the sun would naturally hit your face.

DivaGlam Cosmetics specializes in already mixed colors for YOUR particular needs.  Our two tone foundation pack already comes with a lighter color and darker color combo, it is important to try colors and to remember that we are not just one shade but have beautiful highs and lows.  As I always say YOU are the artist and YOUR face is the canvas, now go and paint!

New Day Beauty by Katie Regan

 

Recently, I met a beautiful diva on Facebook, named Mechelle Rabot.  I was pleased to find out that we share at least a couple of common passions:  cosmetics and Jesus! 😀  In 2004, Mechelle founded DivaGlam Cosmetics.  As Mechelle’s facebook page says,

“DivaGlam Cosmetics was created to make women feel and look good. It is an outward expression of an inward transformation, one which I see everytime I help a woman to acheive her look.”

Mechelle sent me a few items to test out and I’m happy to say that this stuff rocks.  Not only is the quality exceptional, but she absolutely nailed every color she sent me.  I couldn’t be happier, if I had been the one personally choosing the items! Wow!  Plus, they came beautifully wrapped in purple tissue paper with a hand-written welcome card from Mechelle. 🙂

1)  The first item is a full size…

PrImE tiMe (Eye Cream and Concealer: Wear them Together)

Okay so I just want to point out some of the benefits of eye cream and concealer. Eye cream is an essential part of your anti-aging skin-care regimen. And under-eye concealer is what I like to refer to as a gift from the makeup gurus. Since its inception it has served and solved many a late night, or lack of water, allergy, puffy eye disaster. We must remember when wearing the two together it can accentuate fine lines and end up looking cakey.

So lets start with the basics: 1st lets “prime the eye correctly”, to prevent concealer from cracking. 2nd “know your skintype” if you tend to be oily, don’t use a thick oily or very creamy eye cream. For those with dry skin, use a hydrating eye cream so your makeup doesn’t crack. 3rd “Always let your under-eye cream set 90 seconds before putting concealer on.” Using concealer as the last step of makeup will give your eye cream enough time to absorb.

Don’t be afraid to try different brands until you find the one that is right for you. Both eye cream and concealer do not have to come from the same brand. What may work from one company in eye cream may not work for you in a concealer. Remember YOU are the ARTIST and it is your canvas(face) so do what is right for you!!  http://www.divaglamcosmetics.co.uk.com

Here’s to a b’HUE-tiful YOU,

MeChelle

Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions: An Application Can Transform Your Look

There are many reasons your eyelashes are sparse. Whether it’s the cause of stress, hormones, or time itself, your lashes thin out as you age. Enter eyelash extensions—a quick way to add length and fullness to your lashes.
They are applied in spa or salon and when put on correctly can last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. It is all the rage for celebs and can be YOURS for a price ranging anywhere for 25.00-300.00 dollars depending on the thickness of application and or the style wanted.
Just like with hair extensions, you will need to take care of the lashes and follow the aftercare instructions for longer wear and to keep your own natural lashes heathly as well. But when finished you have no need for mascara and can go to bed with beautiful lashes and wake up with beautiful lashes.
DivaGlam Cosmetics offers service and you can make appointment on line at http://www.divaglamcosmeticsllc.com, also check your local beauty salons and ask for personal references as well.

Enjoy,

MeChelle
