So What have I been up to?

 Good day everyone as stated previously I have been running my little day spa business inside a salon in queens. Here is a little look at my world. I am continuously adding little things to it. It's coming along nicely. Why Purple? This color has always been my favorite color since i was a child. It's just something about it that soothes my soul.

 

 

Let me tell you a little about my business. I offer a nice menu of services that accommodates Men, Woman and Teens. All appointments start off with a skin consultation to see what products you are using on your skin. I offer Facials, Eye Treatments, Eyelashes, Makeup and Men's Grooming. To book your appointment please visit www.styleseat.com/skincareluv

Lashes!!!!

My clients cant seem to get enough of these and neither can I.  These are called flare/cluster lashes. They are applied one by one on the lash line as close to the natural lash as you can get. They normally last 7-10 days. I DO NOT recommend pulling them off when a cluster falls out. They shed with your natural lash. If you can get to your lash specialist you can have the space filled in or removed.

Beautiful Surprise!

This was one of the best makeovers i was privileged to do in 2013.  As a surprise her boyfriend purchase a day at the salon for her. She had a facial and makeover by moi and her hair was slayed by Porscha Star. The photo on the left was right after her facial. Her skin was glowing!!! For her makeup: I used a cream eye color as a base called Beach Blonde, Hazelnut, Moonstone, Gold Coast and Coal on the outer lid. I used eyeliner in black and ultimate mascara. On her brows i used a brunette pencil and her lips au naturel lip gloss mixed with a neutral lip liner.  All products can be found via my website. www.marykay.com/beautydivany1

Mary Kay 3-in-1 cleanser: this product cleanses, exfoliates and comes in formulas for Normal, Dry and Combination/Oily skin. Retails at $20 and excellent investment that saves time in the morning.

New Year.......New Me.... (that's a switch lol)

Well its been a long time........alot of things have changed since we last spoke :) . For the past  5 months i have been running my own business inside a salon in queens. This has been quite an experience....... its so different when it's your own, but I'm hanging in there. So I'm gonna give my blog another chance......again.

Skin By Monica Mango & Coconut Bodywash

So I had the wonderful opportunity to try this product. I was actually saving this for the summer to enhance the beautiful weather....but since the winter was making want to get on the plane and leave town, I decided no better time then the present. With the help of my exfoliation gloves, I began my process LOL. The mango & coconut scent took me away....i heard that somewhere before. Anyway, it softened and revived me instantly. I like that fact that the it left my skin soft. A must use for those summer staycations duting this winter time. :)
