La Bella Donna Makeup

La Bella Donna Makeup

Ever worried about if what you're putting on your face is good for it? Or if wearing makeup one day is worth the break outs? I have been there first hand and love wearing makeup which is why I stopped wearing makeup that clogs pores and started to wear La Bella Donna. I often forget I am wearing makeup because of how light it feels and how it leaves a natural look. If you're going out with the girls you can add on some more coverage easily while still looking amazing and natural!

I have tried so many different foundations over the years from drugstores and Sephora. I thought the more expensive, the better. That isn't the case because I would buy expensive products from Sephora and not see results I wanted and I would start breaking out because the ingredients clog pores. I am pretty fair skin so it's hard for me to find a foundation that doesn't bring out my pink undertones. Once I found La Bella Donna Makeup I was so happy and couldn't believe I had used such horrible products for my skin in the past. Today I used Nicoletta Foundation which has an SPF 15 as my base with Amber compact powder as my bronzer and Carina as my mineral blush. For the eyes I combined Cameo and Petal Pink for a soft, subtle color and finished it off with the Black mascara which lengthens the eyelashes while making them clump free. For the lips I decided to go with a bold Hot Pepper lipstick.

La Bella Donna Makeup is made with minerals so there is a natural SPF inside already. The products are not made with chemicals which means they will not cause your skin to break out like other brands do. Doesn't clog the pores, looks natural, has natural SPF... what more could you ask for in a makeup?!

La Bella Donna Complete Brow Kit

La Bella Donna Complete Brow Kit 

Our Organic Mineral Makeup line that we carry here in the spa makes great brow kits. I don't know about most of you ladies but my look doesn't feel complete without filling in my brows. Their brow kits come in Brunette, Blonde, and Auburn. Within each Kit you have two shades of color  most of you will use both, a pomade/wax, this is like a sealing wax, to keep the brow in place and a highlight cream to lift the brow bone and brighten the eye. We also do carry the angled eyebrow brush for application. You can purchase both of these products by going to our online store or by stopping into our Organic Boutique. 

We look forward to seeing you in the spa soon!

La Bella Donna Makeup Application

La Bella Donna Makeup Application

In this blog our spa coordinator will be showing you how to do a day time smokey eye, not to heavy with light browns and a very light eyelash. This look is great for work and goes perfectly with green or blue eyes. 

First I started off with Eminence Organics Bamboo Firming Fluid and Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturizing Cream and Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder to help moisturize and prep my face. I like to use the Rose Silk Finishing Powder before I apply makeup and after to set the look. I like to apply this product before because I like the way my foundation looks over it and I also feel as though it works great as a primer. 

Next I applied the Anti Aging Mineral Mystique in #2 around my eye area for concealer, followed by the Pure Perfection Liquid Foundation in Nicoletta. For powder and to set the foundation I used the Loose Minerals in Crema. After I finish applying the base and powder I move on to the brows, for my brows I used the La Bella Donna complete brow kit in Brunette. Finishing off my brows I apply the eyeshadow. I started with the Compressed Mineral Eyeshadow in Cameo all over the eye area, next I applied Bronze on the lid, and finally Chocolate on the crease. 

Finally to finish off and complete this look I applied La Bella Donna Mascara in Black and Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist and a light dusting of the Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder.

You can purchase all of the products for this look by stopping into our Organic Boutique at 21 W. Gutierrez St. or by going online to our online store. 

I hope you enjoyed, if you have any requests please leave them on our Facebook Page!

La Bella Donna Translucent Sun Protection SPF 20

La Bella Donna Translucent Sun Protection

SPF 20

Shade #1

  ONLY FOUR INGREDIENTS:

1. Micronized Titanium Dioxide, a non-chemical sun protection
2. Bismuth Oxychloride, an anti-inflammatory
3. Zinc Oxide, an anti-inflammatory
4. Iron Oxides, source of colour

 

Shade #2

LBD-WOMEN is an all naturale, pure mineral translucent sun protection.  It lasts all day without re-application and provides complete protection from all UVA/UVB infrared rays. It does not contain any FD&C dyes, oils, fragrance, alcohol, parabens, cornstarch or other chemicals. Soothing and calming, LBD-Women can be used on rash-prone skin, eczema, allergy-prone skin (with a near-zero allergy rate) and sensitive skin. This mineral sun protection keeps the skin naturally cool (even when sitting in the sun) and reduces perspiration, doesn't irritate like chemical sunscreens.

 

 

 

 

Shade #3

Micronized titanium dioxide is the key. It is found naturally in minerals and does not clog pores or dry out the skin. It works quite remarkably. Basically, it allows light to pass through the visible ray region (light that is needed for healthy development of skin) while intercepting the ultraviolet rays.  Micronized titanium dioxide guards against the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, yet gives the skin a naturale looking finish. Research shows micronized titanium dioxide provides a naturale barrier to UVA and UVB radiation without irritation, burning or stinging.

La Bella Donna Mineral Makeup - Covering Blemishes, or Tattoos

Don't cover a blemish conceal them, for example a couple of months ago I covered up one of my tattoos with our La Bella Donna Anti-aging Mineral Mystique - Hydrating Concealer (#2) and our Loose Mineral Foundation (Crema.)

The first thing I did was went over the tattoo with the concealer completely with a concealer brush which caused the light coverage, and then I went back over it with the Loose Mineral Foundation with a foundation brush which caused the complete disappearance of my tattoo. After this I lightly dusted the area with the Loose Foundation using the Mineral Powder Brush so that it wouldn't transfer onto my clothes or rub off onto anything else. Fishing off I spritzed it with the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist.

Well, Today I did it again. It was so toasty outside so I just went ahead and covered one of my tattoos to see if it would also last in the heat! Let me tell you ladies it did. You literally cannot even tell there is any ink there.

Usually there is a tattoo on my forearm, but not anymore!
 

Below is a before and after picture of the one I did a couple months ago - Unedited.

This technique is wonderful if you want to cover up your tattoos for special events, your wedding, or a job.

So if you ladies are going to an event and have a blemish or a tattoo you would like to get rid of, don't use cover up. Try this technique you may just love it and never turn back!

You can stop into our organic boutique today to get your complimentary color matching and also purchase these products, we are located at 21 W. Gutierrez St. 

We look forward to seeing you!
