lise watier equinoxe fall collection- I WANT IT ALLLLL
- Brown Liquid Liner with Felt Tip - easy application, great for everyone! *not pictured*
- Fall Quad with Metamorphix - these are matte shades- so again, great for everyone! you can get a great basic fall natural eye - bumped up to a smokey evening fall look. if you're looking for a palette to spice up your fall look, this is the one!
- Nude Love lipstick - best NUDE for fall! Hands down. peachy/pink base, but neutral enough as a nude
- Limited ed. Duos - The Green Duo (minty pearlized silver + sage green) / The Blue Duo (rich navy + icy silver blue) great basic shadows for a kick of illuminators to make any eye pop!
- Plimpissimo Lipglosses - minty sensation, gives plump. Love the berry color, but the bronze looks fantastic ontop of Nude Love lipstick.
- There is a duo blush as well, that gives a light contour to the cheek. Gorgeous glow, however, I had trouble uploading the pic, so I guess you'll just have to go to your local shopper's drug mart , and try it for yourself!!! :)
*FALL MUST HAVES*
NAILS!!!!!
First off, I tend to change my nail color like crazy in the fall, (like every 2 - 3 days), so here are a few of my latest:
Im loving neutrals, and plum/berry colors.
 |
| "You don't know Jaques" |
 |
| "Meet me on the Hollywood Ferry" |
 |
| "Fuschia Frost/ Espresso" |
*I do mini manicures every sunday night; along with a mini facial, and a loonnngg bath. sunday = melo's spa day!
My Mini Manicure Recipe:
- Remove all polish
- Mix sugar + olive oil (use as handscrub) & rinse
- Get a bowl with warm water, add aloe soap and a bit of olive oil. Allow hands to soak for 10 - 20 mins, pat dry.
- Clean up cuticles with trimmer
- Massage cuticle oil into cuticles/ nails (leave 3-5 mins) & rinse
- Base coat + 2 coats of color + Top coat
- Allow to dry completely, Use tons of hand cream before bed
30 Days of Beauty
sorry I've been M.I.A., it's the BUSIEST time of the year for MelO Makeup. Have been working on tons of weddings, trials and photoshoots....so TONS of portfolio work coming to www.melomakeup.com !!!!!
In the Meantime...I thought I'd give some tips on skincare..my lastest obsessionsssssssss
Shopper's Drug Mart is having 30 days of beauty. Each week for the next month, there is a cosmetic focus. So definitely go check it out! TONS of samples, consultations and fun things going on! You can also check out:
www.thekit.ca : where you can find tips/tricks and more info about the 30 days of beauty!
OK so now my newest obsessions:
#1 ) Clarasonic Skincare system : if you want flawless & radiant skin...then this system is the only way to go. It's a type of tool you use at night to cleanse your skin, deep down. but it's also very gentle! You can use it on your face AND your body. Retails for $175 (for the 1 speed) $265 for 3 speed. You CAN get this at SDM or Sephora and select salons.
*if you're interested in it, contact me for more info! I can get you an extra bonus with it (shoppers drug mart in Georgian Mall, Barrie ONLY) also shopper's drug mart is currently running 20X optimum points with $75 or more. PERFECT time to PURCHASE! ends this Friday
2) TANDA ZAP! : compared to the ZENO heat system, I like this system more for scarring. This system uses the blue light therapy....great for cystic acne, but also scars from previous breakouts. Although this is a mini version of the origianl TANDA, it has a smaller head, in which you can only focus on 1 blemish at a time. Great for the MINUTE you break out. Retails for $49.99
3) CLARINS ESSENTIAL OILS: I picked this up a month ago, for the oily/combo skin. I swear..........this gives you a mini facial OVERNIGHT. I literally wake up every morning with glowing skin. I love it! GET one according to your skintype. If you're not sure you should hit up your local shopper's and get a 5 min. consultation just to be sure. Retails $ 56.00
4) ETIVAL VITAMIN C: anything from the Vitamin C line is AMAZE. No joke. If you have normal or combo skin, this stuff is great! Infused with a high potent of anti oxidants, vit.C, multi-pro (vitamin) enriched. It also smells great! It is exclusive to shopper's drug mart, so go check it out today! Works amazing with the clarasonic!!!

new purchases!
I've picked up some new products...here are my thoughts!!
HAVANA SHIMMER - LISE WATIER (FACE & BODY)
STILA ONE STEP BRONZE
*gives a subtle glow ( however, I'm pretty browntown - soooo it may show up better on lighter skin tones)
*has a hint of stila's famous "kitten" shade in the mix, so gives a great sheen, (not over the top), but I like it!
*can be worn alone, or as a base. either way, you do see a subtle difference.
*can be worn alone, or as a base. either way, you do see a subtle difference.
final thoughts: wish it had an SPF, but I will be using this all summer, probably on every client too!
it does seem to suit everyone's skin tone, as it is not red base, but the mix of all different tones and finishes great a great summer glow!
HAVANA SHIMMER - LISE WATIER (FACE & BODY)
*what can I say? everyone who know's melO, know's that LISE WATIER is my fave, and so is this product!
*GOOD LUCK -trying to find it. usually sells out the minute it comes out, as it is limited edition.
*however, if you can find it, grab 1! or 2 or 3!!! you can use this alllllll yearrrrr round! great to mix with moisturizer, foundation, body cream or on it's own! because it doesn't have chunky glitter, and is a true brown/gold base - it works with everyone, you just have to figure out your mix! (when i'm tan, 1 part havana to 1 part mix, when i'm "less" tan, 1 part havana to 2 parts mix)
final thoughts: one of my all time faves from Watier!
