Home Sweet Home...

Dontcha just love walking into a home that has that ahhhhh aroma? That home sweet home scent. A few weeks ago, I received some candles from Chayil Candle that are nothing short of heaven scent. Made with vegetable food grade soy wax and 100% cotton wicks, they not only smell good, they're "good for you" too. But what was most amazing is how fragrant these candles were even when not lit.

The candles come in four scents:
Blue Ice - a blend of true mint, eucalyptus, and spearmint,
Ch'i - a herbal combination of soothing lavender, rosemary and ylang,
Exhilarate - blend of geranium bergamot and eucalyptus,
Invigorate - a bouquet of fresh lemons
Rejuvenate - a blend of Mountain water, citrus zests and eucalyptus.

Of the four, Exilarate is my fav!

Owners Ms. Burke and Ms. Weathers take pride in providing high quality products and want you to experience it too. For a limited time if you purchase a 7 oz. candle, you will will receive a 2 oz. travel tin for free. Be sure to enter BeautyAm Eye in the "company name" section during check out.

Givenchy
The 2009 Summer Collection imagined for women the world over who dream...





To women the world over who love... A sunny greeting from paradise!
The monsoon season…Those summer days when rain and the warmth of the sun merge sensually together to caress the skin with shimmering, pure drops of light. Bringing all the senses to life.

To women the world over who love… Tropical souvenirs!
Here are some images of earth and warm sand in an infinite array of shades - a multitude of colours creating perfect harmony…
Each day, a sensual shower illuminates your skin with its solar reflections.
A refreshing, caressing sun shower embellishes your skin with fine white shimmers, veiling it in a scented cloud of jasmine, vanilla and orange blossom…






A new ultra-pearlescent formula for glowing cheeks and a light-sculpted
face,
SUN MANGO for lighter complexions;

SUN CINNAMON for darker complexions.









Two textures – one matte for a natural complexion, and one glowing for a luminous look. Blend them together as you like. The glowing texture lets you highlight key areas of the face. The matte texture evens out the complexion with its light and dark shades










The perfect liquid sun pen to illuminate the complexion.
Apply on the eyelids and the apples of the cheeks.



Two golden shades to illuminate the eyes; two silvery shades for a “wet look”.









A kiss that will make sparks fly...
SUN ROSE: coral pink with white shimmers.
SUN CORAL: a warm, glamorous orange shade with white and red
shimmers.


Droplets of water or sunlight on the fingertips.
Silver or golden shimmers blended with aluminium pigments.








A liquid gel for easy application and a fresh sensation. Slightly coppery, it sculpts the body with its shimmering white reflections.

Drugstore Find: Aguaceuticals Tinted Moisturizer...


I ran into Rite - Aid last week for a few things. While there I discovered a fairly new line from Jane cosmetics called JANE Be Pure® Aguaceuticals®. It's a natural collection of makeup with hydrating and antioxidant ingredients. Their tinted moisturizer caught me eye so I decided to give it a try. (Hey..that rhymes...lol.

The moisturizer comes in four shades: Fair Tones, Light Warm Tones, Medium Warm Tones and Dark Tones. I picked up the Dark Tones for deep, warm complexions. The moisturizer has a creamy texture and glides on fairly easily. After my regular daytime moisturizr, I applied it with my fingers. My skin instantly got this "refreshing feeling" and my skin did not have the tightness I get with most tinted moisturizers. Coverage was good and the shade was a close match. And an added bonus was the SPF 30!

In addition to the Tinted Moisturizers, there are AguaGlow Bronzers, AguaMousse Eye Shadows, Cooling EyeStix, Agua BlushStix, Agua Lipstix and Natural Mascara with Olive Oil.

The line is available at Rite - Aid and products retail between $5.00-$8.00.

A Root Awakening & Giveaway...

Celebs came out Wednesday night to celebrate the InStyle Hair issue. A 100+ page issue on hair how-to. Obsessed star, Ali Larter, attended the star studded event held at the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC. The event was hosted by John Frieda Root Awakening and Marchesa.


Dontcha just love her little mini? KUH - UTE!





Harry Josh, John Frieda International Creative Consultant, created a stunning red carpet look for Ali Larter.


Explains Josh: “The look I created for Ali emphasizes how naturally healthy and vibrant her hair is. I started by spritzing hair with Root Awakening Detangling Spray, then blow dried in sections using a natural bristle brush to maintain her hair’s own health and shine. I finished the look with a styling crème to add polish to her naturally sleek, full hair.”


Guests enjoyed an exclusive showcase of Marchesa gowns complemented by John Frieda hair looks. In addition, partygoers were treated to stylish pampering at John Frieda touchup stations.


GIVEAWAY TIME: To help you create your own sleek 'do, Beauty Am Eye is giving away three Root Awakening sets to three lucky readers!

The set includes: Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner and the Root Awakening Health Boosting Detangling Spray.
