Product Find: tarte Cosmetics Purse Your Lips

Shannon Nelson — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 15:13:34 +0000

It’s been so long since I’ve bought any new lipsticks or glosses (because most would agree I have enough for the entire state of Pennsylvania in my handbag right now.) But I came across tarte’s new Purse Your Lips and it was the ingredients in this product that caught my eye. As many people already know, my day job is at Pierce Mattie PR and Pierce and I recently comprised a list of the Top 10 Ingredients in Beauty for 2009. And guess what? tarte’s Purse Your Lips contains 3 of the 10 ingredients–acerola, acai and goji berries. These ingredients are antioxidant rich nutrients and vitamins that have been known to deliver refining, anti-aging and skin-restorative benefits.

Purse Your Lips contains 9 vanilla-scented lip glosses:

* Shimmering near nude
* Shimmering nude-peach
* Gold-tinged plum
* Shimmering brown sugar
* Shimmering deep mauve
* Shimmering deep cranberry
* Sheer crimson
* Sheer pink-nectar
* Shimmering bubblegum pink

So do something healthy AND beautiful for yourself to kick off 2009, pick up glosses like Purse Your Lips to make your pout pretty in more ways than one!

Makeup Can Lift Your Spirits

Shannon Nelson — Sun, 20 May 2007 23:21:40 +0000

This week sure has felt like an eternity and was quite a struggle. After Brody was born, I found that I was experiencing some pain that on a scale of 1-10, was an 11. I blew it off, as I absolutely hate doctors. However, by Friday I was to the point of sobbing and made my way to the doctors…who then sent me directly to the hospital for a 2 day stay on some heavy IV antibiotics.

I was a complete mess, as Brody couldn’t be with me in the hospital and the potent antibiotics meant no nursing. Depressed that my son may only want a bottle after the weekend was over and being away from my husband and children that I adore, I sat in my hospital bed lonely and sad.

After a few visits from my family, my boss (and friend) Steve from PMPR called me at the hospital and then graciously bought me an Avent pump system (so that if Brody only wanted the bottle he could still have breastmilk). I swear I adore Steve and his generousity prompted me to think of a way to lift my spirits. My husband happened to pack me some of my favorite beauty and makeup products that I took along with me to the hospital when Brody was born and I decided a nice shower and some makeup would do the trick.

Let me tell you, after using some great beauty products in the shower, then doing my hair and putting on some makeup really boosted my mood. I certainly didn’t look like a glamour doll, but put on enough makeup to no longer look like I was trying out for a part in Night of the Living Dead. Suddenly I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, I felt less stressed and definitely more beautiful. It made me wonder why there isn’t a program at hospitals for long term patients to get pampered. I think something like this would really do a world of good to lift the spirits of those depressed by hospitalization.

Has there been a time in your life when just the simple act of putting on makeup really made a difference in your mood? Tell me your story in the comments.

The makeup products that made all the difference:

Kiss My Face Tinted Moisturizer
Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics Loose Powder
Urban Apothecary Supernatural Sheer Radiance (review to come)
Jane Iredale PurePressed Blush
Tarte Cosmetics Inside Out Lip Gloss
Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Lashes

tarte cosmetics: Mineral Powder Bronzer

Shannon Nelson — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 23:11:45 +0000

I received tarte cosmetic’s mineral powder bronzer back when I got their fab-u-lous cheek stain and lights camera lashes mascara. As always, I love how tarte packages their products, making you feel totally glamorous.

I received Hotel Heiress and was a little nervous that it would be too dark for my pale skin, however, it was the perfect pick me up to bring me from porcelin doll to a living and breathing person.

The powder is very light feeling and depending on how much you apply, you can have a fresh glow or slightly bronzer look (more suitable for night).

Have you used this product? What did you think?
