Year of the Tiger








As we're about to begin a new decade, the year of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac awaits us. This year is all about inward, contracting motion, about self-reliance, and self-awareness. The year will bring associations with the west, autumn, old age, the planet Venus and the color white, and the tiger usually depicted is the White Tiger. A few other interesting attributes are:


1. Silver & Gold: 2010 is officially the year of the Metal Tiger, and these precious metals hold special significance. What better way to ring in New Year's than with a glittering eye look featuring these shades? Blush still has a few of the fabulous foiled eye colours from Laura Mercier's afterhours collection, which create an incredible metallic eye applied either wet or dry. Apply dry for a soft burnished metallic look, or wet for a high-shine, bright metal lid.





2. Green and Purple: These lush colours look great with every eye colour and can be easily experimented with by using DuWop's Green Eyes or Violet Eyes palettes. These little palettes pack the best of these colors and with a range of shades, you'll find an application that brings out the best in your eye colour. If you're still feeling unsure venturing into the world of colour - book an Eye Lesson with any of the Blush artists for $25 and we'll show you how and where to apply your new look!



3. Diamonds: The signature gemstone of the Year of the Tiger, the Diamond Radiance Line from B Kamins features this stone as its key ingredient in fighting the look of old age. Blush offers a fantastic Diamond Radiance Facial, that infuses the products deep into the skin to combat the look of fine lines and wrinkles and to create a marked increase in clarity and tone of the skin. Blush also carries both of the Diamond Radiance products, the Cellular Matrix Fortifier, and the super-charged Deep Wrinkle Concentrate. The concentrate dramatically lifts, plumps and tightens deep-set creases around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Its deep firming and pore-tightening actions instantly tighten areas and deliver immediate results you can see and feel without the use of needles. The products and the facial feature radiant light-reflecting diamond particles that diffuse the shadows caused by wrinkles, optically diminishing their appearance. The concentrate contains collagen boosting ingredients help restore firmness and plumpness to the skin and powerful anti-oxidants help to fight ongoing damage from chronological and environmental aggressors.

Enjoy this time for new beginnings, Blushies!
