Hi lovelies,

Being able to leave the house confidently with just my natural skin and sunscreen is one of the most empowering things that I can do as a woman.

Feeling 100% comfortable, confident, and secure in myself with or without make-up, is an instant self-esteem boost that I need in order to take on the day or face anything that comes my way.

That’s why I incorporate rosewater-based products into my daily beauty and skincare routine since they keep my skin plump, hydrated, healthy, and glowing.

In the morning, after cleansing my face, I apply the Heritage Store Rosewater Facial Toner onto a soft cotton ball and then I gently apply it onto my skin. By using the toner, my skin is then primed to better absorb my sunscreen or moisturizer, so I know that my skin is getting all of the benefits of my skincare routine.

On the days that I choose to wear make-up, I like to set it with the Heritage Store Rosewater as a natural way to make sure that my make-up stays in place throughout the day. Plus, it only contains two natural ingredients, Rose Hydroessential Oil and Water.

It’s a refreshing way to end my make-up routine especially with its lovely and delicate floral aroma. 

Going beyond my simple beauty and skincare needs, I also love to spritz on the Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerin Spray on my body and in the air as a way to elevate my mood with its soft rose petals scent.

The sweet scent creates a peaceful ambiance in both my home and office.

I like to keep my bottle of rosewater cool in the refrigerator for an added sensation when I spray and massage it into my body and face. 

Another way that I stay moisturized throughout the day, is by making sure that I have a bottle of the rosewater spray in my purse, so I can refresh and re-energize while on-the-go.

I also keep it in my yoga bag, so I can spritz myself before class to calm myself and then another spritz after class to rejuvenate my skin. 

As an added tip for a fuss-free, at-home spa experience, I like to run a steamy shower and then spritz in the rosewater so I can enjoy the rose petal scent while I cleanse myself.

I also love to pour it into a hot bath for its added skin moisturizing benefits and calming experience. 

Want to get in on all of this self-care goodness and recreate these experiences?

Then pick up a few Heritage Store Products that are available at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Lucky’s, Fresh Thyme, Natural Grocers, Target, Ulta, Urban Outfitters, as well as local co-ops, for an easy, natural, and cruelty-free beauty and skincare routine at-home and while you’re on-the-go.

Why Every Beauty Girl Should Rethink MicroArt Makeup by Tanya York

Hi lovelies,

So like many of you, I initially had my reservations about semi-permanent make-up, but after meeting the lovely Tanya York, who has an amazing MicroArt Makeup clinic in Beverly Hills, that provides state-of-the-art treatments, all of the myths and taboos that I had about it were debunked.

The semi-permanent treatments can last up to 3 years, with as-needed touch-ups and maintenance in-between and the experience can yield extremely natural-looking results with no downtime.

 Tanya recently celebrated her 10 year anniversary of being in the beauty business and after 5 years of development, the treatments can be performed on all skin types and is great for correcting skin discoloration and other skin issues. Plus, it’s formulated with mineral-based pigmentation for a natural look-and-feel.

She’s perfected the three aspects needed to ensure semi-permanent microart success: products, equipment, and technique and it shows with her international clientele. Each procedure is customized for the specific patient and there’s a two appointment system in place to test drive the make-up.

THE SCOOP ON TANYA YORK
Serial entrepreneur Tanya York who started her career as a special effects makeup artist in the Hollywood movie industry over 20 years ago created MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup.

After many years of development, working with a team of electronic engineers and cosmetic chemist MicroArt was finally perfected as a solution that eliminated all side effects of permanent makeup as well as looking so natural that no one can tell you are wearing makeup.

The Hollywood Reporter named Tanya one of Hollywood’s most influential women when she was in her mid-20 and by the time she was in her 30’s she graced the cover of Entrepreneur magazine in the Young Millionaires issue.

Tanya, who was born on a Caribbean island and raised in England, is the founder and sole owner of MicroArt Inc. and has previously owned and operated numerous corporations, including international film distributors, a movie production company and a Yoga studio.

Why Every Skincare Girl Loves Oxygenetix Foundation

Hi lovelies,

So I usually have my go-to foundation that I use for special events and being on-camera, but with L.A. being so hot these days, I found that my foundation was melting in the heat just like me and ended up all over my clothes and not really providing the coverage that I needed to get me through my busy days without retouching.

That’s why I’m obsessed with my new must-have foundation in Tawny by Oxygenetix Foundation. It provides long-lasting, clean, smooth, and all-over coverage for my long, hot days! I don’t have to worry about my make-up smudging or having to stop and reapply, as the soft foundation goes on smoothly and stays put throughout the day.

But what I love most about the new foundation, is how natural it looks and feels. I hate the cakey and powedery look some foundations have, but my Oxygenetix Foundation looks like my natural skin tone, texture, and color, for that natural look and feel.

Why Every Beauty Girl Is Gushing Over Grande Cosmetics

Hi lovelies,

When it comes to my beauty and skincare routine, besides my sunscreen, the one thing that I never leave home without is putting on mascara and a little color and shine on my lips.

That’s why my latest obsession is the NEW GrandeLIPSTICK Plumping Lipstick. The new lipstick collection comes in five super creamy and smooth shades that not only moisturizes my lips but adds a little plump and softness as well. The new lipstick formula is fortified with flower extract, sucrose cocoate, and hyaluronic acid. My favorite shade is Dulce de Leche, but they also come in Wine Down, Au Natural, Red Stilletto, and Mauve Along.

I love wearing super black mascara on my eyes as it makes my eyes pop and enhances their almond shape. That’s my current go-to is their new GrandeDRAMA Intense Thickening Mascara with Castor Oil.

It makes my lashes feel and look super long and thick without the worry that my natural lashes will be damaged. To me, it’s like conditioning your lashes while elevating your make-up look.

Let me know, what are your beauty staples that you can’t leave home without?
