My skin is winter ready!

•November 18, 2009 • Leave a Comment

The weather is getting colder every day here in Northern Virginia.

Every morning I get prepared to walk my dog:

Boots? Check

Coat? Check

Gloves and Hat? Check

When I walk outside and the cold air hits my face I think maybe I should buy a ski mask. Every part of me is covered and protected but what about my face? Then I remember I do have a glove for my face, a Galactic Glove.

Galactic Glove Seal Your Skin Anti-Oxidant Serum is an important part of your daily skin care regime. It “seals” your skin with a protective layer making you less susceptible to irritation or inflammation caused by external factors; in this case harsh cold winter weather.

When we are outside the biting cold and wind can irritate our skin. When we are inside the heat pumping through the house adds to our skin dryness. It’s lose, lose unless you “skinsulate” as Dr. Dima says “You need to apply the right product to replenish and skinsulate your largest organ to allow for proper functioning of your cells and prevent water loss.” click here to continue reading about skinsulation.

Don’t think this is a one trick pony, Galactic Glove not only protects and hydrates your skin it also:

Helps treat acne breakouts and enlarged pores

Decreases the look of fine lines and wrinkles

Is an excellent base for mineral make up

I use Galactic Glove every morning because of the wonderful skin benefits. When cold weather comes around I make sure to apply it morning and night as a result my skin never gets dry or irritated.

Cosminology is having a 10% off special on Galactic Glove Seal Your Skin Anti-Oxidant Serum. Just in time to help you “Skinsulate” this winter!

Get A ROOM! Cosmic Face Flush and complimentary cheekabuki

•November 16, 2009 • Leave a Comment

GET A ROOM COSMIC FACE FLUSHDr. Dima’s Cosminology GET A ROOM Cosmic Face Flush for that just ravished look is a pressed mineral blush with 4 different shades: AstroRose, AstroFlush, AstroBerry and AstroKissed.

All of Dr. Dima’s Cosminology mineral formulations are ALL NATURAL, free of parabens, fragrances, oils, talc, bismuth oxychloride. They won’t clog your pores; they actually act as a protective barrier for your skin so your skin can breathe.

They have healing properties and SPF protection. These face flushes have exceptional adherence to skin that creates long lasting coverage, so just like the rest of the Cosminology line a little goes a long way!

I go between AstoBerry and AstroKissed. I use AstroBerry when I want a little more color and to look a little flirty or girly. AstroKissed is my everyday face flush; it adds subtle color and is great for contouring.

Dr. Dima’s Cosminology is offering a complimentary cheekabuki with every GET A ROOM Cosmic Face Flush purchase. I just started using a cheekabuki to apply my blush and I am amazed. I LOVE it! It adds just the right amount of color but what I really love about it is that the color looks like it’s coming from your skin not just placed on top.

You can use a cheekabuki for blushes, bronzers and even mineral foundation application. I find that the cheekabuki size lets you get more coverage faster and it’s just the right size to throw in your purse for mid-day touch ups if needed.

 I like to give Dr. Dima’s Cosminology products to all my friends and family as birthday or Christmas gifts, needless to say everyone LOVES them. People always comment on the face flushes, how vibrant yet subtle they are. Now is a perfect time to try them and a cheekabuki.

Dr. Dima’s Concealer review as seen on Cherry Colors

•November 12, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Concealers by cherry colors cropToday I will be reviewing two products by Dr. Dima’s Cosminology.

One is a color corrector AstroGuise and the other is a concealer/corrector AstroBeach. Both are used for undereye circles, but can also be used on the face to hide and correct blemishes or discolorations or for contouring. They have wonderful names:
Kharmic Khameleon AstroKoncealer “hide your dirty lil’imperfections” AstroGuise and Kharmic KhameleonAstro Koncealer “hide your dirty lil’imperfections” AstroBeach.

I have tried lots of correctors for eye circles, most of were are too light, so they offered no coverage at all. After actually giving up on them, I got these two concealers to try, and see if they could work for me.

Said that, I must say I was a little sceptical at first, because on their site they have the most amazing picture ever! It’s of a woman’s eyes; one is bare so you can see her under eyes circles, and on the other side the corrector has been used, and it looks absolutely great!

And you know what? They did work for me.

Package:
The correctors come in a nice classy package, with as much as 8g of product!

You know how much is that? That’s so much product, that it will take you lots of time to use it up. And when I say lots, I mean lots, because with them, a tiny amount of products goes a long long way.

I have them in two colors, AstroGuise and AstroBeach.

AstroBeach is meant for light to medium complexions, and it works perfectly on my skin.
AstroGuise can be used by anyone, because it neutralizes color, dark spots, and so on.

The correctors are quite thick, really opaque, but they are easy to blend on the skin. That’s one of the reason, why you don’t need to use lots of the products, to get full coverage.

The correctors have a sponge applicator, which makes them really easy to use on the go:

AstroGuise & AstroBeach do:
*Provide natural sunscreen activity
*Lighten dark areas
*Evens out skin tone
*Erases spots

First, let me show you my under eye circles in all their glory. Now, some of you may say that mine are just too small or not relevant enough, to call them eye circles. But let me prove you wrong. They are always there, they never go away, and I cannot stand the sight of them, because they make me look sick. It’s like a dark shadow that’s constantly there… So yes, they are eye circles.

A Universally Clean Giveaway as seen on Slice of Lemon

There are three things in this world that make a woman feel beautiful: Good skin, good skin, and good skin.
Now I’m sure many of you have your own items to add to that list — a great hair day, firm abs, cute shoes — and you’re right. You’re all right. But for today, and for the purpose of this post, we’re going to take my three, and run.

A few years ago, I discovered the “So Universally Clean You Can Eat Off My Face” face wash by Cosminology (which I blogged about here) and I fell in love. I’ve had sensitive skin since I was a kid, and this stuff has natural ingredients like water and lavender oil that leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh, and perfectly balanced — it also relieves my face of those red spots that I sometimes wake up with.
An extra bonus is that these products are never tested on animals. Love that.

Because the wonderful folks over at Cosminology know how much I want to share what I love with the world, they’re giving away five of their “So Universally Clean You Can Eat Off My Face” face washes.
Don’t you just love it when people want to share their beauty secrets with the world?

To preempt any questions about writing reviews in exchange for money, that’s not how this site works, nor is it how this site will ever work. When it comes to products featured in the Love Style section, I only write about stuff that I have used, and that I love. If I wouldn’t wear it, eat it, or use it, you can be sure that it will NEVER be on any of the Slice pages.

Halloween with Dr. Dima’s Cosminology

•November 9, 2009 • 1 Comment
by Lety Soto CMA

before and after verticalI love Halloween!!! I like coming up with a costume and I LOVE coming up with my makeup whether it be a freaky zombie or a sparkly princess. This year I decided to be Poison Ivy, no not the plant. Poison Ivy is a batman character; she’s a bad guy or girl in this case. I’d also like to mention that I love the Batman movies and cartoons. When I was younger I would watch all the movies and cartoons with my younger brother and we would even make Batman puzzles together. It was loads of fun.

In 1997 Warner Brothers released Batman & Robin the 3rd installment in their Batman series, the villains were Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy played my Uma Thurman. I based my version of the character on a combination of the cartoon and movie looks. I think it was a success and to my surprise quite of few people knew that I was going for Poison Ivy. Kudos to them!

I only used my Dr. Dima’s Cosminology Minacles clinical mineral coverage to create this look.

I prepped my face with my CosmicRay Shield and Galactic Glove then followed with AstroThena mineral foundation.

I primed my eye with my KharmicKoncealer and then applied AstroMagic eye shadow all over my lid.

I used the eye liner AstroJade to add drama to my look by creating a large arch over my eye brow, I wet my brush removed the excess water and dipped it into my AstroJade compact I was then able to blend the color on my skin and apply as many layers as needed to create the depth that I wanted. It looked as though it was painted on my skin and I dusted just a little of the AstroMagic on top.

I defined the arch with eye liner AstroRain, and then to add a little sullenness to my eyes I applied it under my eyes.

I dusted some AstroBerry on the cheeks and applied AstroFaith to the lips.

I was now all set for a very fun and beautiful Halloween.

Oh and yes those are my Latisse lashes that you see, no j/k the only thing on face not from Cosminology was the green lashes that I found at a Halloween store.

I was very thankful that I was able to create this look with the products I already had and that they were all mineral based. I had a lot on to create the drama I was going for and knowing that they weren’t going to break me out put me at ease. I also easily removed my face with Global Debris Remover, it got me cosmically naked.

I hope you enjoy the look.
