New Year...New You

Many clients have told us they skip make-up as part of their daily routine because they: (a) do not have the time and/or (b) do not know where to begin. We think the following sets are a perfect way to put "Add Make-Up to Daily Routine" on their New Year's "To Do" lists (aka New Year's Resolutions for those who make them).

Cargo's "7 in 7" helps you Give Good Face in a snap! Designed to "...get you gorgeous in 7 steps in under 7 minutes", this kit is packed with the following "can't miss" glam essentials:

• OneBase lightweight concealer and foundation;
• Essential Eye Shadow Palette - each part of the eye lid is imprinted on each color for "can't miss" application & and includes an easy to follow diagram;
• High Pigment Eye Pencil - rich in color, helping eyes really "pop";
• LashActivator mascara - gives lashes extra volume & length;
• BeachBlush - combining blush and bronzer for that "from within" glow;
• Reverse Lip Liner - to help give thinner lips a fuller pout; and
• Classic Lip Gloss with Timestrip technology - non-sticky & paraben free, this silky smooth gloss nourishes lips, while the Timestrip technology lets you know when it is time to "toss the gloss" and get a new one.

"7 in 7" is available in "Light Medium", "Warm Medium", and "Dark Medium". While we do not think the Reverse Lip Liner is great for all skin tones, or is necessary for all lips, we think this package is overall worth the investment. Not sure if you want to commit to the full package? Check out the the mini version available at Ulta.

The Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection is touted as "an all-inclusive kit that includes nine [9] essential shadows for all-over lid color, highlighting, smudging, and more" and we agree! Complete with: color-rich, long wearing eyeshadows; 3 easy to follow "How To" cards for creating 3 flawless & easy natural looks; and a double sided brush/wand, your eyes will go from drap to fab in a blink! The "pure pigment" formula of the eyeshadows allow for effortless blending so you have no excuse for not adding this collection to your beuty bag.
