Organic Beauty.

For a while I've been looking for more "green" nature-based products that reflect our modern taste. I'm excited that I've now identified some exceptional cruelty-free organic options for my clients to enjoy.

This cosmetics line will suit the most discriminating female, and it's no surprise that they're from right here in California! The beauty of these fruit- and vegetable pigments is that they produce earth tones for gorgeously natural look and feel on your face.

Here is the look I was makeup & hair using the organic makeup.

My client was looking red carpet ready for her first Anniversary. Wished them a happy marriage forever.

Janice & Mike.

A few year ago, Art Occasions team & I did Janice's sister in-law wedding. The references are always a much appreciate!
On a trial day, Janice know exactly how she wanted her hair and makeup done for her big day. Everything went smoothly, her makeup & hair trial was finished in two hours.
The big day arrive. Nancy, my assistant and I were having so much fun doing makeup & hair for the bride & the party. It feel like I was one of their close friends.
Before we take off, Janice's mother in-law mentioned to me " well, it will be a few more year till we meet again for my baby wedding".  Sooner or few years later, I will again..be very happy to be part of their special day!

Lemon & Egg White Masks

A simple treatment that I love to do at home is lemon & egg white mask. Many types of food have a positive effect on your skin. A mask made from egg whites and lemon tightens your pores and tones your skin. Applying this combination may also clear dead skin and prevent wrinkles. Preparing a facial mask from lemons and egg whites is more economical than purchasing one at the store and doesn't contain any chemicals, fragrances or dyes that could irritate sensitive skin.


Instructions

 

  Wash your face. Remove any makeup, lotions and sunscreen. A clean face allows the egg  white and lemon facial mask to penetrate your skin better. Use facial cleanser rather than just water, which effectively removes all oil.    Separate the egg white from the egg yolk. Use an egg separator held over a small bowl and allow the egg whites to fall into the bowl. Discard the yolks or save for a baking recipe.
 

 Add the juice of one lemon. Place a strainer over the bowl and squeeze the lemon juice into it. This will prevent any seeds or pulp from getting into your mask. A juice strainer is another good way to extract the juice from the lemon. 
 Beat the egg white and lemon juice mixture for three minutes. This ensures that the two items are well combined, which allows it to provide the same benefits to your whole face. A fork or electric beater are alternatives that work well for mixing.
 

 Apply the egg white and lemon mixture to your face. Use your fingers to spread the facial mask evenly over your entire face. Avoid your eyes and mouth. Allow the mixture to sit on your skin for 30 minutes.
  

 Rinse with warm water. Splash it on your face directly over the sink, step into the shower or use a warm washcloth to remove the mixture from your face.
