Produced by an illustrious and talented team, portrayed by a stunningly beautiful model and conceptualized through a makeup artist’s vision of bold, audacious, iconic glamour, NARS Cosmetics is excited to announce the launch of the short film Pure Matte: Infinite Reflections celebrating the launch of Pure Matte Lipstick.
Telling the story of a woman – with her multi-dimensional compelling nature – the short film was directed by Tim Richardson and produced by NARS’ longtime creative partner, Baron & Baron.
Model Heather Marks returns as the face of the film, draped in vintage Gucci, her effortless beauty multiplied tenfold by the use of mirrors and her pout painted perfectly red with the Vesuvio shade of Pure Matte Lipstick. NARS’ newly appointed National Makeup Artist Francelle Daly created the makeup look under the direction of NARS Founder & Creative Director François Nars.
The short film is currently available to view on NARS’ Facebook Page. A special ‘Pure Matte’ tab will provide NARS Cosmetics Fans with exclusive content including behind-the-scenes images. Be sure to “Like” Nars Cosmetics to gain access!

Some of the products used or offered at Desert Bloom Skincare (I am particularly using the PCA Skincare line that is offered by this skincare center, and I am LOVING all the products. More about that in a future entry).
I first met Natalya, owner and licensed aesthetician of the Desert Bloom Skincare Center in Scottsdale, in March of this year when I was preparing for a blog and video entry on Spa Week and her services, particulary the Bio-Roller Anti-Aging Facial. Little did I know that the initial visit would lead to a succession of visits to her spa for a series of chemical peeling facials. Natalya was a great aesthetician as she helped my skin heal due to acne scars caused by my out-of-whack hormones. Her bedside manner was excellent, very professional and took care to explain to me every small detail in the procedure, making me feel relaxed during the entire process. The peelings revealed younger, smoother skin that significantly reduced pore size and hyperpigmentation.
This blog entry, however, is not about my chemical peelings, which I shall discuss (and the results thereof) in another post. This time, our focus is another procedure that Natalya is offering for Spa Week this September 13-26, 2010. Spa Week usually runs for only a week, but Natalya decided to extend the $50 deals for another week, for a total of two glorious weeks of $50 treatments at Desert Bloom Spa.
In the video below, Natalya is doing the Micro-Current Non-Surgical Facelift on her model Diane. According to E-zine:
Microcurrent facial toning machines sends safe, painless impulses to the muscles in your face that help overly-tightened muscles to relax and helps under worked muscles to regain strength. In essence, microcurrent facial toning "re-educates" the facial muscles and restores them back almost to their original shape.
When this happens the visible results are quite dramatic and the face is lifted, firmed and toned back to a much more youthful appearance. At the same time, the microcurrents improve circulation to your face which stimulates production of collagen, improves tone and texture, and improves or eliminates fine lines.
See how Natalya does this procedure in the video below:
You can indulge in this facial and other procedures for only $50 during Spa Week and a week after that, from September 16th to 26th, 2010 at Desert Bloom Skincare Center. For more details, check out www.spaweek.com to see the list of participating spas in your area. If you are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, check out Desert Bloom Spa in Scottsdale. Natalya is a wonderful licensed aesthetician, careful, meticulous and explains procedures thoroughly. Avail of some of their treatments for only $50 during Spa Week.

Here is a simple look featuring the MAC Palace Pedigreed quad. I love pinks, mauves and purples so I really like this quad. I also used the new Superslick Liquid Eye Liner in Smokey Heir, and I like how it complements the colors in this quad. Here's a step-by-step. All products MAC unless otherwise stated.
Apply Urban Decay primer potion in Sin all over lid and lower lashline. Apply Fresco Rose paint pot on lid using a fluffy shader brush.
