Colorful Twisted Lightweight Scarves

Being in the beauty industry, I always understood black to be my favorite and “go to” color. So after all these years, I still mainly wear black and use accessories to add a pop of color.

I especially love scarves. I collect them, hang them like blouses and just grab the right one when the mood strikes…. Lately, I’m really attracted to the ones that are lightweight and made from movable fabrics. I am really loving these new colorful twisted scarves. They come in beautifully progressive waterfall shades of blues, reds and greens. The scarves are a twisted waffle texture, great for double wrapping around your neck. When I do the double-wrap, I feel a bit jester-like. I don’t even have to wear any jewelry.  I love making an unexpected statement.

For more information about our Colored Scarves please contact us…..info@facesbeautiful.com

Twisted Color Scarf $ 40.00

The “Channel-Like” Black Quilted Evening Bag…with adjustable gold chain


I feel like I buy every bag ever made, but when I get dressed to go out, I am always saying that I just don’t have that right bag.  It’s even worse when I am packing for a weekend. I just don’t have that one right bag that gives me style and versatility. So, here you go ladies… The ONE RIGHT bag.

All other bags fall short when compared to this Channel-Like Black Quilted Bag with its adjustable gold chain. This bag is soft and sleek with sophisticated details. I especially love the unique chain that is completely adjustable. I can keep the chain long and use it over my shoulder, or shorten just a bit so it falls under my arm, or shorten the chain to carry it in my hand. I just have to share with you that when I was out to dinner the other night, I placed this bag on my table (I just couldn’t bear to place it on the floor.) and wow this bag got a compliment from practically every lady who walked by.

I recommend grabbing this bag before all of your girlfriends do! For more information please contact us at info@ facesbeautiful.com.
Channel-Like Quilted Bag $140.

Lauren G Adams- "Queen of Bangles"

For those of you ladies who are not familiar with Lauren G Adams, not only is she is a fabulous jewelry designer with several different collections, but she is the “Queen of Bangles”.  My favorite bangle bracelet  is from her vintage bangle collection. This vintage design gold tone bangle is light-weight enamel, which makes it both comfortable and stylish. I love the hot red and gold color combination and then the placement of cz’s catch the light and add a little bit of bling! Lauren G Adams of course has earrings to compliment this bracelet and finish off your hot jewelry look.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Serum

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Serum – So, we all know that Vitamin C is necessary for our skin. It’s the best anti-aging ingredient because it helps to strengthen and build collagen, which is the elasticity of our skin. But, is there really a difference from one type of Vitamin C to another??? I say yes!! There are two things I really like about this Vitamin C. First of all it actually penetrates into the skin – it doesn’t just lay there. Secondly, I like the texture. It’s doubles as a primer for me under my makeup too. Try it ladies and you’ll see. It makes you smoother. Smoother is good!!

Lauren G Adams - Stackable Rings


I am a huge fan of Lauren G Adams, she is a jewelry designer with such great creativity and knowledge of what kind of jewelry today’s fashionable woman wants to wear.  Lauren has a large collection of  bangles, rings, necklaces and earrings. Her collections allow you to  mix and match a variety of colors and finishes. While I love all of Lauren’s jewelry, my favorite pieces are her rings. I am the kind of person who looks at hands, both my own and other peoples. I think a beautiful ring placed on the correct finger can make an elegant and fun statement. . Lauren G Adams makes stackable rings which are very popular this season. I love how you can stack as many as you want. And, you can choose different colors and finishes, and you can afford it. With Lauren’s reasonable price point, every woman can afford to buy and stack and play with the whole Lauren G Adams collection. Whether you’re stacking four sparkly eternity style bands, or choose  two enamel finished rings - you’ll make a statement and be a fall fashionista!

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Maximum Moisture Treatment

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Intense Hydra Mask 2-step – Before I am going out to any important event or a big night out – I always Intense Hydra Mask before I go. It truly makes my face look younger, tighter firmer…. Sort of the same way a good bra can make those “girls” look perkier!! LOL. But really, its filled with a crazy amount of Hyaluronic Acid and a heat relaxer, so you are forced to sit back and relax while your face relaxes and pumps up with nature’s best keep secret to facial water retainer. You’ll look fabulous, darling!!!

Makeup Makeover by Ms. Moffly

Makeup Makeover

Makeup artists offer their tricks of the trade to upgrade your look.

Get out of your makeup rut. If you've been using the same makeup shades and applications since middle school, you're well over due for a change. Remember when we wore makeup to look more mature a.k.a older? Well what's the last thing we want now! Outdated colors and styles, like the blue tinted mascara that was de rigueur during our tween years, will only age us. Ms. Moffly has learned cool tricks of the trade to upgrade our makeup style and help us look fresher and younger.
Read on to discover great insider tips from four amazing makeup artists. Learn from the masters— make an appointment and have them give you a makeup makeover.
Gail Sagel, Makeup Artist and Owner of FACES Beautiful invited Ms. Moffly to her studio to try out some of her favorite tricks. FACES Beautiful is a full facial and hair salon. They sell complete skin care and cosmetic lines, including the FACES Beautiful line— check out her awesome Brush-On Liquid Mineral Foundation: it's a primer, concealer and tinted foundation all in one. Schedule an appointment for a 60 − 90 minute "Makeup Lesson" with Gail or one of her makeup artists— $90. They will help assess your own makeup stash, too. If you have a special event coming up and want to look your best go for their "Makeup For You"—$60.
Here are the tips and tricks Ms. Moffly learned from Gail:
  • Eyebrows should NOT be waxed; it pulls the collagen out and immediately ages the skin.
  • Instead of an eyeliner pencil use a mineral powder with a wet "smudge" brush, then smudge the color into your lash lines. It creates a softer appearance.
  • Change the placement of your blush: sweep it on the top of your cheek bone up around your temple. It gives you an instant facelift.
  • Change your face regime with the seasons. In the wintertime wash your face in the evening only. How dirty can your face get while you sleep? In the morning, after you shower, just spray or splash on your toner and then moisturize, etc. as usual. It will help protect your skin from becoming dry and irritated.
  • Avoid cotton balls, they are very harsh on your skin. Instead use a washcloth; it's much gentler and acts as an exfoliator.

Dr. Dennis Gross Firming Hydra Pure Eye Cream

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Firming Hydra Pure Eye Cream – What makes a great eye cream? Well, to me it’s one that removes wrinkles and plumps up whatever fine lines that I do have and makes them smooth. So, if that’s what you’re looking for too, then look no further. What makes this eye cream work is first that Dr. Dennis Gross “chelating complex” – remove the minerals that drag your skin down. If you know anything about Dr. Gross its that his products remove al of you topical dried-up minerals which make you look terrible. Then this eye cream has lots of Hyaluronic Acid which helps you to retain water where you want it. Fill those fine lines girls!! Love the texture too. Sort of creamy-gel like.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Continuous Eye Hydration

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Continuous Eye Hydration – This is a super hydrating eye crème for when you really need extra moisture. But, one of my pet peeves with most super eye hydrators is that all that extra moisture usually leads to greasiness or worse, puffiness!! This one doesn’t. It’s chock full of caffeine and cucumber extracts – both which counteract puffiness. Got to love that!!!

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Sunscreen Packettes

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Sunscreen Packettes – Carry this broad-spectrum sunscreen with you wherever you go. What a great idea… Just throw one in your purse, your beach bag, or your travel kit. Great for men, women and kids too. Dr. Gross put a few little extras in this sunscreen packettes of his. He added a bunch of essential vitamins, green tea (to reverse sun damage) and “chelating complex” (to remove topical minerals stuck on our skin). And, he didn’t bother to add any alcohol, so your skin will be soft and supple – never dry. Love that!!
