New Product I’m Loving: Vani-T 3-Step Sexy & Sweet Nude Lip

I love being the bearer of good news!
Especially when it’s good news that involves introducing you lovelies to a new brand!
Well, it’s not exactly “new” but it’s new to me and I bet it will be new to some of you too.

I was recently introduced to Vani-T Mineral Cosmetics by a few friends in my office.

Besides my trusted friends, many other “famous friends” love to be vain with Vani-T: Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, Rhianna, Cameron Diaz, Claudia Schiffer, Denise Richards, Kim Kardashian and a list that’s just too long to mention here!

Usually, I’m a little skeptical of mineral makeup. I think of layering and swirling and blending and brushing and tapping and by the end of the directions, I feel like people are exhausted and look like they have copious amounts of makeup on. Cakey for a cake=Bueno but cakey for a face = No Bueno.

But this is not the kind of mineral makeup that  Vani-T bakes up.

It’s eco-glam as it’s cruelty-free (no animal testing), paraben & mineral oil-free and really, free of anything bad for you. In fact it says no to everything except the good, organic stuff our skin and bodies needs. Isn’t that nice for a change?

Imagine my sweet delight when I tried Vani-T for the first time and found myself looking into the mirror thinking, “Whoa! I’ve got Angelina Jolie meets Kim Kardashian lips!!”

Vani-T sweet & sexy lips!

Vani-T sweet & sexy lips!

By the way, as a single lady, that’s a GOOD THING. A sexy thing! Whether you like or dislike those ladies, I don’t think anyone can say they’re not sexy.

Especially since those gorgeous ladies are embraced by Brad Pitt and Kanye West.

So I’ll take it!

If you want those gorgeous Kim Kardashian meets Angelina Jolie lips, I highly recommend you try the BeautyFrosting 3-Step Vani-T lip.

Vani-T Lip Swatches

1 ) Vani-T Lip Definer in Nude: I love a good bronzey nude lip liner. And this one defines, is blendable and looks natural. It preps the lip for the sex appeal ahead.

2 ) Vani-T Mineral Lip Color in Frisky Business: The neo-classical nude. A caramely, buttery beige that’s as moisturizing and smoothing as it is sexy. Infused with Vitamin E, Coconut Oil and Aloe Extract, you’re left with smooth, hydrating, longwearing lip color.

3) Vani-T Mineral Lip Glaze in Frisky Business: A kissable, peachy caramel nude that glides on the lips effortlessly. A faint French powder scent makes it even more indulgent. It is so UBER-hydrating – so much so that we were shocked – that your lips actually FEEL BETTER after wearing it!

Another reason I love Vani-T lipstick?

It’s my favorite lipstick packaging ever.

Check out the super glam, girly crystal packaging.
It’s a lipstick fit for Marilyn Monroe! Or for those of us who like to feel a little more like Marilyn when we’re primping.

Fit for Marilyn: Crystal-encased lipstick by Vani-T

Here’s what I’m thinking, girls. This is the PERFECT gift for a bride, bridesmaid, graduate, birthday girl, mom-to-be or favorite glam puss in your life.

Just look how great this tube of Vani-T looks on my vanity:

It’s a glam gift that won’t break the bank!

And is there anything more gorgeous than that?

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday: Lovely Lauren C.

Love it when I make a green beauty discovery!
Especially since I’m a little green when it comes to green beauty.

When I attended Fournier PR’s “Be Parisian For A Day” event at the Sunset Marquis Villas back in June, I had no idea how much French fun I was in for!
I was turned on to soooooo many new products and fell in love with so many of them!

Love it when that happens!

One of the lines new to me was Emani.

And the face of Emani was Lauren.

And what a face it was!

Whatcha' Wearin' Wednesday, Lauren?

Our WWW Girl: Lauren

I loved the polished look of her eye makeup so you know I had to ask:

BF: Lauren, Whatcha’ Wearin’?

Lauren: Emani!!

BF: Would you mind if I feature you as my WWW girl and take a few pics?

Lauren: Go right ahead! But I put it on at 7 am this morning – do I need to retouch?

BF: 7 am!!?? You have got to be kidding. You look beautiful! You don’t need to retouch a thing!

Lauren: No. Seriously. That’s the thing about Emani – it’s amazing. Have you tried it?

BF: No, but I will now. Your makeup looks like you JUST put it on! Please tell me everything you’re wearing so I can get to know this seemingly magical mineral makeup!

Lauren: I can do better than that! I’ll take a pic of my makeup routine and email you the details. Will that work?
BF: Will that work?! Are you kiddin’?! Bless you, darlin’.

I can’t wait to try Emani myself if I can look like her!

As for Emani, this is what I know:

*A professional makeup line that promotes a pretty, healthy complexion. Gotta love that!

*Vegan friendly product – free of the not-so-pretty stuff like Talc, Gluten and Parabens.

*No harsh chemicals, petrochemicals or synthetic fragrances

*Organic,natural pigments

*Lasting mineral makeup that looks polished NOT heavy-handed like some mineral makeup lines

*PETA Certified

*Sustainable, Recycled & Biodegrable Packaging

*Made in the USA

Well, I love ALL of that goodness! And I have a feeling a lot of you will too.

Love it when I make a green beauty discovery!

And, as promised, here is Lauren C’s beauty routine.
