The Curative Power of Rose

Rose has been an effective ingredient in skincare for centuries. It is suitable for all skin types, but it is especially valuable for dry, sensitive or aging skins. It has a tonic and astringent effect on the capillaries just below the skin surface, which makes it useful in diminishing the redness caused by enlarged capillaries. Rosewater is a slightly less expensive way to provide skincare. It is very soothing to irritated skin. It is also a tonic and antiseptic.

The rose also offers a soothing property to the nerves and emotional /psychological state of mind. It is regarded as a mild sedative and anti-depressant. It is increasingly used in treatments for conditions of stress: nervous tension, peptic ulcers, heart disease, among others.

My favorite skin care line, Duchess Marden, was created using all natural ingredients, and all products contain rose!

Hothouse Flowers

We're well into Spring now, Blushies; the birds are singing, the grass is growing and most importantly the flowers are in bloom! It's time to take inspiration from the beauty in nature to add to our beauty routines!

I'm loving the bright blooms outside, and am celebrating with brighter colors on my lips !
Lately I've been picking up saturated shades like BonBon (sheer cool pink) and Heat Wave (sheer bright orange) from Laura Mercier, Tulip (sheer true red) and Glamarama (sheer hot pink) from Lucy B

For the eyes, coordinated shades that create contrast with your eye colour is the quickest way to bring out a fresh look. DuWop's new Eyecatchers Shadow Duets complement your eye colour offering both a tone close to the shade of your eye, and a tone opposite. Work with a Blush artist to show you exactly how to apply these colours to bring out your best look!

Lucy B also creates inspired floral fragrances using organic ingredients native to the company's origin in Australia. Blush carries the fragrances in eau de toilette sprays as well as travel size roll-on perfume oils. Currently we have the Pink Frangipani, Wild Jasmine, and the newest addition, Tiare Coconut. The company describes the scent as "a tropical Australian beach scent that boosts the mood through the flower essences. Its Australia in a bottle". Tiare Coconut is an exotic floral fragrance with a warm oriental base. A top note is composed of tiare flowers and coconut, middle notes are combined of magnolia & champaca, with bottom notes of amber and vanilla blossom. Gorgeous - and just right for Spring!

It's time to stop and smell the flowers!

xoxo
