Favorite Moisturizing Lip Treatment for Spring!
Baci • Baci Award Winner Moisturizing Lip Sheer
What do sassy "Informed Beauty's" look for in a lip gloss? Rich, natural ingredients, just enough color, and great shine, but not too sticky - no lady wants to catch fly away hairs on their lips.
Set down your "Carmex" and pick up a Baci ..... it is also extremely conditioning. In fact it has the benefits of a lip treatment.
No goo in your purse. The applicator is a simple "click" pen concept that pushes the color through the wand into the brush. You click a few times and the color will come through into the brush applicator.
With all the color choices, there is a perfect match for every skin tone for day or night!
WE LOVE that the Baci's have the ingredient Sodium Hyaluronate. This ingredient creates a barrier that lets moisture lock into the lips, even if the color has faded and you haven't had a chance to reapply.
Baci • Baci Moisturizing Lip Sheer takes mineral lip colour to a new lip finish.
Sodium hyaluronate creates a moisture barrier and promotes long term treatment and conditioning for the lips and just happens to be colour. The silver click pen, with brush applicator, makes application line defining.
- Developed as a treatment for the lips, formulated with anti-oxidants
- Sodium hyaluronate creates a moisture barrier for the lips
- All naturale, organic, vitamins A, C & E, flower extracts and other botanicals create an extraordinary texture
- Anti-aging properties are enhanced by the presence of collagen

Absorb or Reflect? A Sunscreen Saftey Basic.
What is a sunscreen?
At a very basic level, sunscreen is anything which helps protect the skin against the harmful rays of the sun. This includes clothing, sunglasses, parasols and preparations specifically formulated to be applied to the skin. Most of us tend to use this term of sunscreen when we talk about sun protection products.
The key ingredients of a sun protection product are around the filters of UV.
What are the different types of UV filters?
All UV filters are chemical substances which act as sunscreens. They typically fall into two main categories: synthetic or organic filters, such as the cinnamates, which absorb UV light; and mineral or inorganic filters, such as titanium dioxide, which mainly reflect UV light. Frequently, both types are used in combination for optimum effect in a product.
How do sunscreens work? The main component of a sunscreen product is the UV filter or filters. Their job is to stop ultraviolet light from reaching the skin. UV filters can do this in one of two ways: they can either absorb the UV-light by “soaking it up”; or they can scatter it and reflect it away from the skin (how Kasia Good Day Sunshine is composed). Consequently, there are two different types of UV filter and these are:
Absorbed Light
Absorber filters (or organic filters) Absorber type UV filters work by absorbing ultraviolet light much like a sponge soaks up water. Each tiny sunscreen “sponge” soaks up ultraviolet light, and then releases it back out after converting it into lower energy and less dangerous infrared light. These filters can be thought of as “energy converters”, converting dangerous ultraviolet light into safer infrared warmth.
Reflected Light
Reflector filters (mineral or inorganic filters) Unlike the absorber-type UV filters, reflectors tend to be less specific about the type of UV-light they reflect and tend to protect against both UVA and UVB. These sun filters act in a different way. Instead of soaking up the UV rays in the way that the absorber sun filters do, these materials reflect and scatter the UV light away from the skin without changing it to anything else. They can be thought of as thousands of tiny mirrors each reflecting UV light away from the skin. reflected light. This is the Kasia "Informed Beauty" suggested route of purchasing sunscreens for you and your family. 
What should you consider when 'out and about?'
The basic precautions against the harmful effects of the sun are:
- the best use of a sunscreen is a physical block
- wear appropriate clothes
- seek shade
- be aware of reflected sunlight (from water, snow, sand etc)
- avoid direct sun particularly during the hottest four hours of the day (11.00am to 4.00pm).
- reapply sunscreen liberally and often

Tips from Mariah - Brighten up your pale winter skin!
Hey....Sweet Cheeks!
Brighten up your pale winter skin with rosy cheeks. Clean face, subtle eyes and pink cheeks are the latest makeup trends on the spring runways. For a more natural look, lighten up on the bronzer, apply a dusting just under the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, forehead and chin. Apply a generous amount of pink tone blush to the contours of your cheeks. If you step outside in the cold and then look at yourself in the mirror you will see where your skin naturally flushes, apply the blush in this area for a natural rosy complexion that adds just the right amount of color to brighten any skintone.
Tips from your Kasia Makeup Artist Mariah
- Dust La Bella Donna's Bronze Mineral lights on cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin to warm up your skin
- Use a pink/rose colored blush like mauve applying just under your cheekbones and on the apples of your cheeks. Step back from the mirror 5 feet, if your cheeks do not appear flushed, apply a little more blush to the apples.
- Finish the look with black mascara and your favorite lipgloss
More bang for your buck
- The Blackberry eyeshadow quad from La Bella Donna can be used on eyes and cheeks to stretch the dollar. Use the
pink/lavender color on your cheeks, the blue gray color on your eyelids and the purple color as an eyeliner - Use the Luminere color on eyes, lips and cheeks for a 2 minute makeup look. Finish off with black mascara.
- Want a cream finish to your blush? Use any of your Mineral Light Lipsticks as a cheek stain
