Facing Summer - Melt proof makeup!

Hey everyone! It's Heather:) I'm going to give you a sneak peek of our Summer 2012 beauty article. You will definitely want to read the whole article when it comes out on June 15th! Most of us LOVE the summer time! How can you not?! All the sunshine, beach getaways, playing (yes playing!) outside, and just plain fun!! One of the biggest problems of the awesome summer is the summer heat causes our makeup to melt right off our faces. It's been a constant battle for me for years! So, when I approached our Beauty Contributor, Kim Alicea, about this problem she was on board with helping women everywhere find great solutions no matter what their budgets are. Below is a sneak peek! Enjoy and be sure to check out the full article on June 15th in our summer issue at www.itsaboutdetails.com!





    Now let’s talk makeup! Although you may feel you don’t want to wear a lot of makeup through the summer months, it is necessary to wear a few extras if you want your makeup to survive the day.  Anyone wanting a flawless face that will last all day or night (Brides in particular), these tips are for you!



Foundation – Choosing a foundation based on your skin type is the key.  Long wearing foundations are very popular these days but don’t get caught up in the advertising. Everyone’s skin is different and it’s important to find what’s right for you. Dry skin needs hydration which typically comes with an oil based foundation, while oily skin needs a mattifying formula typically found in oil free formulas that incorporate powders.



Foundation:  1. CHANEL Perfection Lumiere $57
                       2. Make Up Forever HD Invisible Cover $40
                       3. L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Makeup $14


Avoid cream blushes and shadows, they will separate and require maintenance.

Use an eye shadow base (primer).

A Premier Design Kinda Party - Ladies Only!

This past Saturday my mom and I hosted a Premier Design jewelry party. My mom loves parties and I have a background in event planning so, we knew we wanted to make this jewelry party fun and just a great time with friends. I really enjoy Premier Design jewelry. There really is something for everyone and for all budgets. The ages ranged from 19 to lady's in their 70's and everyone found something they loved.

We had lots of food and drinks of all kinds. We had our local grocery store make up turkey, ham, and roast beef sandwiches on potato rolls and pretzels rolls. I have always loved potato rolls, but I must admit I LOVED the pretzels rolls more! We also had fresh fruits, veggies, chips & dip (my hubby's family recipe), "bowl of nothing" (watergate), my moms homemade caramel corn (her secret recipe!), homemade pumpkin bread with yummy frosting, and adorable mini doughnuts from Dough a Deer.  We had to have yummy drinks to go with all the yummy food! We had the basic water and all different types of soft drinks, but the best was the girly, fruity drinks. Jamaican-me-happy was my personal favorite!

There was a grand total of 15 people. You know there is going to be lots of fun and excitement with that many women. We modeled jewelry, did skits, and won prizes, Lynda was our Premier Design consultant and she was great. Lynda taught us great and different ways to use our jewelry and even our scarves! We shopped for over three hours! There were so many samples to look at, plus two different catalogs to shop from.

It was a great party and lots of fun!
