Changing from a day to night look is as easy as popping up your cheeks with a subtle blush, adding a smoky eye, and applying a lip plumping gloss. Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics  has you “covered “during the day with  pure pressed powder or loose powder foundation with an SPF 20, protecting you from the harmful effects of the sun. Apply with the Handi brush for the best coverage. Once your day is done and you’re ready to take on the night it’s as easy as….1, 2, 3!

You will be leave nourished and hydrated. The use of Comfort Zone’s Body Strategist+ homecare products helps to encourage continuing effects. For an enhanced benefit, the Fruity Peel Scrub is recommended to exfoliate the skin and maintain a radiant glow.

While playing with lipstick colours, I happened upon a few combinations of liners and lipstick that not many ladies would know to try.  It is common to match a liner colour with a lip colour so that both are either the exact same shade, or perhaps the liner a slightly darker hue.  However, if you mix complimentary colours that are not the same colour, you can end up with a great customized multi-tonal hue.  I tried a few different combinations with our Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics line.  I mixed the "Berry" lip liner with the "Halle" Puremoist lipstick.  "Berry" is a rich colour and it's name is self explanatory (raspberry/blackberry mix).  "Halle"  is a neutral red.  If blended properly this results in a rich red/plum colour, with deep edges blending into a sultry red lip.  I also tried "Plum" lip liner, which is a neutral, almost ripe plum, colour.  I mixed it with "Daisy" lipstick, which is a light, soft pink with a bit of a sheen to it.  This results in a purple toned pink colour and will make any shape of lip pop!  Finally, I liked using the "Crimson" lip liner with "Renee" lipstick.  "Crimson" is crimson; a vampy, glamour-red colour, while "Renee" is a bright, rich pink.  If blended properly, this results in a glamorous deep pink tone, perfect for a bright pout. 

Something to keep in mind is that Jane Iredale uses minerals to produce her colours, as opposed to chemical dyes.  This VERY important to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking, as chemical dyes will dry out your skin and can cause wrinkling.  The PureMoist Lip Colours have a sunscreen of SPF 18, which is also important for young-looking plump lips.  Her lip liners are FD&C-dye free, which means they are gentle enough to use on your entire face, whether it be your eyes or cheeks, as well as your lips.

An awesome tip if you forgot your blush at home: use your lip liner to draw a small circle on the back of your hand and fill it in.  Your hand's own body heat will make it a bit creamier, so after a couple seconds, use your finger to wipe a bit off of your hand and blend it into your cheekbone.  Be sure not to use too much and to blend it completely so the colour isn't streaky.  This is similar to using a cream blush.                                                                                                            ~Gaby

Wikipedia:        Blond - ah - rex - ee - aah

                         The disorder wherein one perceives their hair to be of a brown tint, 

                         no matter how blonde their hair actually is, often resulting in 

                         "Courtney Love Hair". 

Blondarexia, by definition, is me in a nutshell.  Everytime I would get my colour done, I would still never feel blonde enough.  I always thirsted for more.  Now, I have what I want, kind of, but I'm paying for it with the health of my hair.  Take it from a professional, it's not good to get too light-happy with your hair, or you will start to have some seriously pooched locks on your head!

However, if you are like me, you must, I repeat, MUST, use professional damage control shampoos and conditioners, and even go as far as using deep conditioning treatments at least once per week.

I beg of you, my fellow Blondarexians, take care of that beautiful blondeness that you've worked so hard to get!!                                                                 ~ Lindsey
