"Girl on the Go-Go" Bag

This is a great bag, and I thought it would be perfect for any girl going off to college!  


Maybe you are not going off to college, maybe you did the college thing a while go, then this is the perfect travel beauty bag for you!


I use it all the time and I have found it to be ingenious with its four separate, detachable pouches. I can put my casual/outdoor  cosmetics in one compartment. Remember your SPF 30 Phiz Sunscreen. 


My dramatic/evening makeup, like Phiz Signature black Eye Liner and Mascara in another compartment. There is even room  to stow away your iPhone, Kindle, and iPod. 


So organized and efficient for the girl on the go!


Ooh là là!

Life's True Beauty

I cannot take credit for these wonderful wise words about True Beauty. It was 2002, for me the early days of email, when these lovely sentiments arrived in my "You've Got Mail!" in-box.

From time to time I refer back to these words for a true perspective on life. I would like to provide the appropriate acknowledgement; alas I don't know who is the author. Do any of you?

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or even the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

Beauty Myths - Soaps are a No No for your Skin

Sure, formulas of yesteryear were loaded with veggie oils and animal fats. Newer soap formulas are designed to be milder and reinforced with moisturizers to maintain moisture in your skin. Bottom line: clean skin is way better than the dirty variety!

Lips Tips

I’m often asked, “Can you give me fuller, sexier, kissable lips?”  

First an observation, most of us are not unkindly deprived in the lip department; but due to the “Angelina Jolie Affect” there is an understandable sense of wanting. Happily here are things you can do!

Preserve What You Already Have

Avoid cracked, dry, peeling lips with a lip protectant/sunscreen balm (SPF 15 or greater). Use it regularly during the day and as a nighttime ritual. A moisture rich balm will smooth out many of those unwanted nooks and crannies.

Build a Foundation

Create a base with a translucent face powder set over an application of foundation applied to your lips using a cosmetic sponge. Make sure the foundation is the same used for the rest of your face. The powder keeps the foundation and lipstick in place.

Magnify Those Lips

Select a lip liner pencil that closely matches the color of your actual lips. Delineate the outside edges of your lips – to make them fuller you can add some shape and contours.

Color Them In

Beginning at the corners of your mouth, shade the outer edges using the lip liner pencil. Don’t color the fuller center of your lips. Not yet. Now with your lipstick, and using a lipstick brush, apply color your entire lips. Blend lip liner and lipstick together using the brush.

Finishing Touch

Dab a light-colored lip-gloss and/or some petroleum jelly onto your lips. For a poutier look, focus the gloss on the middle of your lower lip. Blend gloss and lipstick for a subtler effect. To cap it off, don’t forget to add your Lip Balm.

Now go on and enjoy your all-natural, luscious, collagen-free kissable lips!

Trend Tip #1 - Waterproof Yourself!

Sobbing, sweating and swimming can wreak havoc. Streaking mascara sluicing through clumped foundation is a look to be avoided at all cost.

So, is your makeup waterproof? Here is a quick and easy test.

Paint your left hand with samples of your favorite mascara, eyeliner, lip stick, foundation and blush. Then spray water onto your left hand, and for good measure, shake it all about!

If nothing streaks, smears or runs you are well waterproofed. If not, please contact me and I'll guide you to my select collection of Phiz Skincare waterproof products.

"The Eyes Are the Nipples of the Face"

I'm not in the habit of viewing B-movies.  I do, however,  admit a certain guilty pleasure when circumstances compels me to do so. Setting the scene. I'm visiting a household of high-schoolers watching The House Bunny,  featuring  Anna Faris as a homeless Playboy Bunny that witlessly comes to the aid of an endangered College sorority. 

I feigned nonchalance,  pretending to immerse myself in current issues of Elle, In Style and W, all the while keeping a surreptitious eye on the screen. Yes, it was sophomoric and formulaic at times, but it was also funny. Then most hilarious line I've ever heard in B-moviedom came forth from the lead character, "The eyes are the nipples of the face!" 


Heck, we already know "eyes are windows to the soul," but this bold statement is a true epiphany! 


Ladies, our eyes mean so much more than we realize...I suggest we take that a minute to dab on some mascara and  consider the hottest look of all, false eyelashes! A lovely look for any style! .

TRENDCENTRAL PICKS: Future of Beauty

Revlon's Scented Nail Polish: Five Senses marketing for Revlon? Reported to be launching this month, a new collection of eight richly colored fruit-inspired shades also boasts sweet scents - a pleasant change from the headache-inducing odor that's typically part of a manicure. As the polishes are reminiscent of the brightly colored scented magic markers of our youth, we're pretty excited to try out the Not So Blueberry and Sublime Strawberry as soon as they hit store shelves.

Cosmetic Bedding: Getting your beauty sleep takes on a whole new meaning with these products. A growing number of brands, including Serta, Copalife and SkinGlow, are boasting pillowcases, sheets, and even mattresses embedded with microcapsules of aloe vera and copper to moisturize and calm skin, control acne, and fight wrinkles, while also warding off bacteria and dust. While we don't think the truly beauty-obsessed will opt for special bedding over medical procedures, we do think these products could become another "must-have" in the ongoing quest for the fountain of youth.

Smashbox Glow products: Mood makeup is making a comeback. While Smashbox's O-Glow and O-Gloss are not new, we consistently hear consumers singing their praises. For cheeks and lips respectively, these products are supposed to work with each user's personal skin chemistry, going on clear and changing to a shade that complements each individual's coloring - not to mention the added bonus of vitamins, minerals and nutrients like ginkgo biloba, pomegranate and a Goji Berry-C Complex for extra healthy skin benefits. We're certainly skeptical of just how "personal" the products are, but the subtle tints they give definitely create a natural flush that's perfect for summer.

BROW WATCH

Yes, our eyes are indeed the "windows to our soul" - however our eyebrows are the ultimate purveyors of human expression. Are they nobly arched or quizzically furrowed? Are they comically drawn or anxiously stretched? These two (or sometimes one!) arc of hair say so much about us.

This is a wonderful time to be on "Brow Watch" with the mega events plastered all over our TV screens; the Grammy's, Winter Olympics, and soon the Oscars. What on earth are those Divas, Athletes and Actresses up to...my nominations go to the following:

THE BEST COMICAL BROWS

The German Ice Skating pair, and current world champions, Robin Szolkowy & Aliona Savchenko skated most sublimely to the music "Send in the Clowns." And in keeping with the clown motif, their eyebrows were shaped into dark whimsical triangles!

Fabulous brows and an inspirational exhibition on ice!
