A Thief's Best Friend - 14karat

For those of you who want to keep up to date with Fall Fashion – follow the 5 shades of Fall…
Learn simple tips and tricks on how to incorporate small flares that make a big statement to your look!

We’ve covered red – Lets talk GOLD!
Summer may be over, but it doesn’t mean, you can’t keep those golden blonde locks lookin’ fresh! Schwarzkopf’s BlondMe Mouse ($19.95) adds volume and gold pigment to your hair. I’m a sucker for all of the BlondMe products, they transform my mousey, dirty blond hair into glowing golden tresses… try the Shampoo, Moisture Mask and Mouse to get the best results!
Cameron showed off one of Oscar De La Renta’s Fall 2010 Golden masterpieces at the Oscars. Her soft gold eye shadow and highlight, similar to Lift’s White Gold ($15.00) and Oyster Pearl ($15.00) truly compliment the dress and fall’s trends.
If your hair isn’t blonde and Gold shadow is a bit extreme for you – try adding a focal point to your look with a bold-gold accessory! We’ve got gold bracelets, necklace and hair accessories galore – these beauties (Necklaces $28.00) are just a sample of what we’ve got!

Caught RED Handed…

For those of you who want to keep up to date with Fall Fashion – follow the 5 shades of Fall…
Learn simple tips and tricks on how to incorporate small flares that make a big statement to your look!

Let’s start with RED! We’ve talked a number of times about the different shades of red and how they can make a great statement or a terrible one if done wrong!
This fall look for the following products to add the perfect POP to your look:

Even Christian Loubitan agrees, red is the perfect touch for a pop of colour. We’re seeing a ton of Leopard print in stores for fall, red seems to accent it perfectly.
Try our Fall Polish Pick, Ruby Red by Orly.

We found a SUPER similar necklace to one of ours in People Magazine's Style Watch...

This definitely makes a statement without being over-bearing. For people like me, who are generally into CLASSIC pearls - this necklace is a great transition into the new trend of mixed materials and chunky elegance!

Ours is priced at an easy $21.00, not sure what the one in People Mag runs for...

Whoooo Whooo - Owl Fashion


Not only are we seeing the EYES being played up in Make-up fashion this Fall, but we are seeing owl eyes on clothing, accessories and home decor...

Marc Jacobs is one of the MANY designers who's showing this trend, Owls Eyes EVERYWHERE...Owls are synonymous for being wise and aged - but their beauty is what's brought them into our Fashion Trends for 2010

Although I love each and every one of these items, I don't think I could see myself spending the money on them. 

Owl fashion can't be something that will last FOREVER - this a trend, or fad - Right?


The Lift Beauty Girls also have some Owl Accessories to show you - our price point is far more reasonable for a "non classic item" - These Pieces range from $20.00-55.00

I've kept a few for myself - their so adorable!

 Interested in trying on some of our accessories?? Remember that we're offering your first Lift Beauty Girls Mobile experience for FREE! Give us a call to book a night of accessories, make-up, manis, and hair!

The 90's are back, and NOT just the denim...

Okay, Back on track...

We've been showing you a LOT of what the Lift Beauty Girls can do... And mostly bridal. 
But Fall is here, and Fall Fashion is definitely my fav'
I know you all love the TIPS and TRICKS on how to get the "looks" at home, on your own...

So, lets talk about the Runway Trends for Fall 2010.

There's so much to go over, where do I start? 

EYE LINER
90's 90's 90's
It seemed to me that the Fall 2010 make-up artists were taking inspiration from Micheal Jackson and Courtney Love circa '92. 
I call the look, "The Morning After." 
  • Disheveled Hair - Kate Moss' esque
  • Matte Skin
  • Earth Tone Lips 
but 
The main focus - Messy, smudged, imperfect, black or charcoal EYE LINER!
 Here's the trick, on how to get the look:
Use a black or charcoal pencil to line the upper and lower lid - don't be concerned about keeping it neat or even close to the lash line. 
The more the better!
Dampen a Q-tip with make-up remover and play around with your liner!
You will be sure to get that smudged, "morning after" look.
HOT
(Sometimes I add a very thin black liquid line along the top lash line, just to give it a little definition..)
Try it out, let me know how it goes...
I've definitely been sporting this style and have been asked too many times to count, how I did it - it's simple and now, no longer a secret!

Off Topic!

So, this is totally off topic but at the same time, totally not... bare with me!

The Lift Beauty Girls, are all about looking good and FEELING good!
I always tell my clients, family and friends that if you can look in the mirror and feel confident in yourself than everything in life will be much easier... and I honestly believe that! 
I encourage everyone I know to take control of their life, by learning how to make themselves happy, health, and confident!
I know it sounds totally vain but the truth is, if you aren't happy with that you see staring back at you in the mirror than it's hard to put your best foot forward!
Obviously what's inside it MOST important, but I'm willing to admit that it's hard for me to show people how GREAT I really am on the inside if I'm not confident with my outer appearance! I know I'm not alone here...
 Now onto what's troubling me...
The Lift Beauty Girls have the hair, make-up, nails and accessories covered but I haven't been feeling my best... It seems, EVERYTHING I eat it causes horrible, stabbing stomach pains!
I went to see my doctor and he suggested (based on my family history) that I cut Gluten and Lactose from my diet.
Honestly I thought I was having a bad dream when I heard those words...
For those of you who don't know me, I'm the pickiest eater to grace the planet - my mother often refers to me as having the pallet of a 7 year old! I could live off of plain pasta, bread and ice-cream for the rest of my life and be completely content - sad I know...but you can see how my Doctor's suggestion made me cringe.

Despite my lack of enthusiasm 4.5 weeks ago I went cold turkey - no more of my favourite foods!
Have any of you cut all of the good things in life out of your diet?? I need help here!
I'm totally confused. It seems like all I'm eating are veggies and chicken, and once in a while some rice or potatoes. I even go without food all together some times, simply because it's hard to find something I CAN eat when I'm on the go - and some how I've gained 5lbs! Is this normal?? It can't be normal, I have cut out all of the starchy/fattening, FABULOUS food that I used to eat - out of my diet! Someone please explain this to me, PLEASE!! 
Normal Diet
-
 -
=
+ 5lbs???
(How does this make sense?)
Will the weight gain continue?
You'd think I would be feeling better, but honestly I'm so perplexed that I can't even tell whether I'm feeling better or not!
Oh and even when I think I'm eating totally gluten free, I'm NOT! Who knew there's wheat in pretty much EVERYTHING - Soya Sauce, tofu, salad dressings etc.
So, in short - my confidence has dropped because 5lbs on 5' me, is totally noticeable, and NONE of my clothes fit properly!

Here's my plea - We help you with at home tips and tricks for hair and make-up, SOMEONE please help me with my food issues...

Thanks in advance from a desperate Lift Beauty Girl, Xo

It was MY TURN TO GET DOLLED UP!

It seems that over the past 5 years while running Lift Beauty Boutique, there haven't been many occasion where I, myself need to get dolled up! Or maybe there have been occasions but I've been too tired or busy to allow myself time to get the special treatment that we give everyone else!
Last week, that changed!
 


My boyfriend's close friend was getting married and the dress code was BLACK TIE! I didn't have a dress that was super fancy or fabulous and didn't want to buy a new one to be worn once, so I figured I would wear a simple black dress and make it FABULOUS with amazing Make-up, Hair and Accessories!
A fellow wedding attendee and friend of mine joined me for Hair and Make-up at the Boutique... Here's how it turned out, what do you think??
 Eye Shadow, Fake Lashes, lipstick and all... we totally felt like the belles of the ball!
Sarah, you're stunning! Hope you got all the volume you could have wished for in that hair!! 
Lauren, Thanks so much for making us look so fabulous, our make-up lasted all night and we got too many compliments to count... 

I guess I'm so busy being a Lift Beauty Girl that I forget just how much fun it is to have some one else do your make-up FOR you! 

Invite Lauren and I in to DOLL you up!

Our Last Day at the Salon Celebration...

So our last day of cutting, and colouring at the salon was a doooozy! It couldn't have been any busier but it was a pleasure! As mentioned in our last post our darling client Candice brought us a fabulous bottle of bubbly that was popped promptly after I finished my last client... without taking the time do clean ourselves up after a long day of making everyone else look FABULOUS, we continued our celebration with a great dinner and lots of smiles and laughs!
Friends and Family stopped by to see how we felt and to join in the celebration, it was wonderful!
To all of our Staff, we LOVE you and thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, laughs, cries and most of all friendship!
We'll miss seeing you every day, but we know we'll be seeing you lots with the Lift Beauty Girls!

Oh, the Changes... and good deeds!

As you're all aware, things have been changing for Lift Beauty Boutique & The Lift Beauty Girls for the past few months...

We gave you all ample notice, so that you could get your FINAL cuts, and colours by the girls as 114 Cumberland!

For me, it was totally bitter sweet - sad that I wont be seeing some of you every 4-6 weeks - but totally exciting to move onto this new chapter and to see you in the comfort of your homes for AMAZING girls nights in, or special events!

Some of you brought us flowers, others brought cards and tears, but our lovely Candice brought us 2 amazing gifts...
  1. A Bottle of Champagne
  2. Our final Hair Donation
Thanks you Candice!

As some of you may know, I have been a big supporter of cancer research and have advocated for donations in both money and HAIR. It was such an amazing feeling and gift to have one of my longest standing clients let me chop her beautiful locks off to be donated on my LAST day at the Salon. 

Over the years Candice has asked to cut her hair short a number of times, and I've always encouraged her to keep it long because it's beautiful and so that she could donate it one day without having to cut it into a pixie cut!

Although she says she said she was chopping it all off before I "left her" so that she could guarantee a good cut, and to spite me... I know she really did it out of the kindness of her heart!

I'm so thankful and I know who ever receives that hair will be as well. 
So Candice, I love you, I'll miss seeing you at the salon - but I'll see you in your home for a Girls Night In!

Interested in donating your hair? I suggest doing it! It's a great way to help someone in need and it allows you to try a new look - Fall is the perfect time to do it!
