Halloween Makeup Cheetah Chic Look

CREATE A CAT SHAPE FACE 

Using a La Bella Donna Mineral Makeup Brush apply a light foundation shade like La Bella Donna Loose Mineral Powder in Crema to the center of your forehead, around your eyes, your nose, mouth, and chin and blend out towards the sides off your face. Using the same brush, apply a darker foundation shade like LBD Loose Mineral Powder in Cafe around the outer forehead and cheek area outlining your face. Create a more “cat-like” angular facial shape by pulling an even darker shade like LBD Loose Mineral Powder in Mahogany down towards your mouth under your cheek bones.  Halloween Makeup - Le Reve Spa

CREATE A SMOKEY EYE

Use a La Bella Donna Oval Fluff Brush to apply a dark brown shadow to your entire eyelid from the crease to the lash line. We used the brown in the La Bella Donna Mineral Eyeshadow Compact in Sedona Sunset. Blend this color up from the outside eye crease toward the brow. Add a bit sultry shimmer with Taupe color in this same compact to the crease and blend up towards age outside of the brow line using the La Bella Donna Eyeshadow Eyeshadow Brush. Apply La Bella Donna Eye Pencil in black along the lash line. Create more of a “cat eye” appearance with a winged line from the outside eye area toward the side of the face and by pulling the liner down from the inside corner of the eye about a quarter of an inch. Apply La Bella Donna Mascara in Black.

CREATE CHEETAH SPOTS

Using the LBD Oval Fluff Brush apply spots ranging in thumb width to eraser tip size across the forehead, along the side of the face, and down the neck and decollate using La Bella Donna Eyeshadow in Chocolate. Outline 3/4 of each spot created with LBD Eye Pencil in black. Now the touch of Glam; add a smaller spot of a shimmery color like La Bella Donna Illuminator in Luminere to each spot using the LBD Eyeshadow Brush.

CHEETAH NOSE & MOUTH

Define the bottom portion of the nose and create a vertical line from the there to the mouth with LBD Eye Pencil in black. Use the La Bella Donna Eyeliner Brush to apply the liner to the entire area. Finalize that Cheetah-chic look with a sexy red lip color like La Bella Donna lip Pencil in Scarlet.  
“Makeup is a fun and free way to express yourself, you can learn so many fun new techniques. Have fun with it and just enjoy yourself. The makeup line that we carry here at the spa is made purely of minerals, it leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh and application I do not feel like I’m wearing a full face of makeup. I love these products and would highly recommend  them.
We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!”_ xoxo, Linda Spa Coordinator

How to: Combat the visible signs of aging

How to: Combat the Visible Signs of Aging

We at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique would like to share with you how to combat the visible signs of aging.

How To: Combat Signs of Aging - Le Reve SpaSigns Of Aging

In order to tell you how to combat the visible signs of aging it is important to first define some common signs of aging. As we age our skin begins to show it. Some signs of aging include, fine lines and/or wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. Skin elasticity is the skin’s ability to stretch and then go back to normal once the need to stretch is gone”_Columbia University. Aging is a part of life and a common process which we all experience.

Simply because these visible signs of aging are a part of life does not necessarily mean that there are not things we can do to help combat, slow, and delay this process.

How To Combat the Visible Signs of Aging from the Inside Out

If you are battling with the signs of aging please note that all is not lost. Considering we have the option to get regular facials, create a useful skincare routine, check out a cbd shop in the hopes of finding a solution to lessen visible signs of aging, we should at least be hopeful. While genetics do play a huge role in how we age over time there are a few things that can be done to help support proper skin and body health which will are sure to help keep your skin appearing more youthful over time. There are many things that we can do to help combat the visible signs of aging, such as going to The Dermatology & Laser Group for treatment. One of the most important things you can do for your skin is to stay hydrated.

Drink Waterwater of healthy skin le reve spa
Staying hydrated is one of the best recommendations that can be made for how to combat the visible signs of aging. The skin is the largest organ in your body so keep it hydrated by drinking lots of water. Water makes up 60% of your body and is not only important in rehydrating your cells and keeping them supple, but also plays a crucial role in cell metabolism as well as flushing toxins. Toxins when built up can contribute to premature aging. The Mayo Clinic recommends to “drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and your urine is colorless or light yellow”
Exercise for healthy skin - lerevespaExercise Regularly
Another great way to flush toxins is to exercise regularly. Breaking a sweat helps to expel toxins through our pores. Regular exercise also helps to increase oxygenated blood flow to all of our cells. This increase in oxygenated blood flow is what gives us that healthy flushed glow post workout. Oxygen is essential to cellular metabolism. It helps to better distribute vital nutrients to all of the cells in your body. Regular exercise also helps to lower stress hormones which can contribute to premature aging as well. Additionally to lowering stress levels, increasing oxygenated blood flow, and detoxify your pores, breaking a sweat on a regular basis keeps your body fit and functioning at its optimum level. Now that we have addressed how to combat the visible signs of aging from the inside out it is important to cover treating the skin from the outside in. Enter the wonderful science behind the organic skincare we provide at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique and the rejuvenating skin treatments we offer. When it comes to your skin it is always a good idea to seek the advice of professionals and reserve some time with your esthetician.

How To Combat the Visible Signs of Aging from the Outside In

Facial at Le Reve SpaReceive Facials Regularly

One of the best ways we can recommend how to combat the visible signs of aging is to receive your facials at regularly. Facials are not just to pamper you while cleansing and refortifying your skin. Facials are designed to give those professionals who specialize in the skincare a chance to analyze, diagnose, and treat skin for their specific needs. Just like regular visits to your dentist are necessary for keeping your smile looking its best – a regular visit to your esthetician helps to keep your skin healthy, happy, and more youthful-looking. We recommend going to a Dentist Louisville and a Louisville-based esthetician. A great rule of thumb is that if you are trying to simply maintain your beautiful skin then a facial a month is sufficient, but if you are trying to treat or correct a skin condition or concern then a visit once a week or every other week may be necessary. It is important to check with your esthetician to determine the frequency in which you should visit your local day spa. At Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique we have a facial designed to target the visible signs of ageing. This facial is called the Age Defying Antioxidant Facial.

AGE DEFYING ANTIOXIDANT FACIAL

The Le Reve Age Defying Facial s a ninety minute results orientated spa treatment which is specifically designed to target the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and the loss of elasticity. This anti-aging facial provides a deep cleanse followed be a Yam and Pumpkin Enzyme treatment to remove dead skin. Your skin is that treated with a soothing chamomile toner to help shrink and tighten pores. Then series of masks are applied to rehydrate, refortify skin, and increase collagen. This wonderful facial also includes an additional eye treatment, lip treatment, décolleté treatment and even a special treatment for your hands.

For those of you needing to set up a more aggressive facial routine with your Le Reve esthetician please keep in mind that this service is available as a series.

Here at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique our estheticians are experienced in various facial technique to best address your skin’s specific needs while in service. Additionally, following your spa treatment your esthetician will continue to provide their skincare expertise when prescribing you an appropriate skin regimen to follow in between facials. This is another great reason to sheik in with your Le Reve esthetician.

Moisturize

One of the most crucial parts of any skin regimen is a moisturizer. Moisturizing helps to reintroduce the moisture loss from cleansing. To help combat the visible signs of aging and keep your skin appearing more youthful choose a more hydrating moisturizer designed to increase the skins elasticity and promote collagen synthesis while minimizing dark spots. At Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique we offer a great anti-aging moisturizer that does just that called Ultra Firm and Lift Cream.

Jurlique Ultra Firm and Lift Creamjurlique-utra-firm-and-lift-cream-lerevespa

This hero product combines the moisture intense properties required in an anti-aging skincare product with the vital anti-aging properties you would find in a potent facial serum.

The Purely Age Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream by Jurlique features a natural amino acid lipid, Rock Samphire and Yeast extracts to help activate collagen synthesis. This moisturizer is helps traduce the appearance of wrinkles by restoring the skins firmness and elasticity. This moisturizer is packed with vitamin C and licorice root which help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration helping to improve skin tone and clarity. This all in one awesome anti-aging product leaves the skin feeling strengthened, hydrated and radiant in just one step!

In conclusions, the best ways to combat the visible signs of aging is to stay hydrated both inside and out, exercise regularly, receive facials at least once a month, and stick to the skincare regimen prescribed by your skincare professional.
