We Trump Ordinary Makeovers!

2011-06-27T08:49:00.001-07:00

This is the place where “Extraordinary Transformations” trump ordinary makeovers! Come and escape from everyday life with a relaxing 1 hour facial to target your specific skin care needs and desires. If you’re looking for a more progressive treatment with visible results, try a facial peel treatment customized specifically for your skin type and condition (i.e., sensitive, acneic, rosacea, sun damaged, fine line, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, etc.). If time and transportation are not on your side, for an additional fee, “Peels on Wheels” will come to you. (Call for more information). For those special occasions when no ordinary makeup application will do, an airbrush makeup application is the only way to go. It delivers flawless results with minimal makeup, thereby eliminating a “cakey” appearance.

And finally let’s not forget about those maintenance appointments for eyebrows, lashes, tanning and waxing. And what about a “Girls Night In” party including a makeup lesson or a “My Beauty at Work” office lunch time makeup lesson? Those are always fun!

All services are geared towards trans-forming your facial flaws into fabulous features and maximizing your beauty potential. Call 323-356-0125 today and let’s get started!

Your Skin Can Do a 180 in Just 1 Week

2009-11-16T16:24:00.000-08:00

Cleanse away the signs of environmental aging with Nu Skin 180 Facial Wash. It features a patented waterless formula that delivers 10 percent free-flowing vitamin C to the skin making it one of the most extraordinary anti-aging cleansers available.

Vitamin C is a necessary component of collagen production, the key element in reversing the aging process. It helps firm the skin and diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles, age spots and discoloration. Other skin care products pale in comparison to 180 due to their watered down, small percentage of Vitamin C.

Treat yourself to Nu Skin 180 Facial Wash's concentrated level of vitamin C and be one day closer to a firmer, more youthful complexion.($39)

Breast Cancer Therapy Found In A Cosmetic Bag

2009-10-26T08:15:00.000-07:00

I know I'm a little late, but every year I really do look forward to the month of October. Not only is it my birthday month and marks the beginning of Fall, but most importantly, it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As a volunteer for the American Cancer Society's "Look Good...Feel Better" Program, I get to see and experience the "Power of Powder" up close and personal.

For the past six (6) years, this experience has made me firmly believe that one form of breast cancer therapy can be found right in a woman's very own cosmetic bag. There you will definitely discover the power of highlighting the window of your soul with satin and shimmering eyeshadows; smell the scent of face powder as it glides across your face; and delight in the many selections of blushes and bronzers that compliment your lip color just perfectly.

If you know of someone that has recently been diagnosed with cancer or is undergoing cancer treatment, I would like you to encourage her to make an appointment to come see me to experience a one-on-one makeup lesson I call, "I Empower Beauty." The concept of the lesson is to teach women proper skincare and makeup techniques beginning with their existing products and also recommending additional products, if needed.

My primary goal is NOT to sell products, but to educate women about their skincare and makeover needs. I want to help women to be proactive with their beauty therapy, because I firmly believe that cancer does not have to dictate how a person looks and feels about herself.

For further information such as the prevention and early detection of cancer, treatment and other services, please visit www. cancer.org. There are cancer information specialists available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who can provide help in many languages.

Wax On... Wax Off No More

2009-10-05T12:45:00.000-07:00

Tell your friends to stop waxing their eyebrows and let an expert shape her eyebrows for her.

Let her know that anyone can wax her eyebrows but you know someone who can properly shape her eyebrows for her... ME.

I can teach her how to create, shape and maintain a full eyebrow shape even if she has very little.

She will also learn 1) the proper structure of the perfect eyebrow shape; 2) how to fake a full eyebrow; and 3) how to get the most efficient use of familiar eyebrow tools and products, plus much more.

If her eyebrows are ungroomed, uneven or experiencing temporary or permanent hair loss, this is the place to come to experience the art of professional eyebrow shaping and grooming. Also, I'm the perfect choice for men who don't want their eyebrows shaped but prefer a masculine cleanup.

If your friends are still not convinced that I will do the perfect job then show them the before and after pictures on my website www.moniquepowers.com/newsite/makeovers.php.

Benefits of Airbrush Tanning

2009-09-20T00:00:00.000-07:00

Having tanned skin does something to a person's psyche. It builds confidence. It makes one look slimmer, healthier and feel sexier. But in the quest for achieving bronze, even-toned and natural looking tanned skin, one can end up with embarrassing, unnaturally orange, blotchy, and dull skin.

There are however several methods of obtaining tanned skin. There are tanning beds, booths, oils, creams, lotions, powders, sprays and of course the natural sun. But the best way to achieve your goal of a naturally sun-kissed tan is to have it professionally done with a product that will achieve optimum results. Airbrush tanning is the most affordable, precise, less time consuming, and overall perfect solution. This service is perfect for those of you that are allergic to the sun or if you don't have the time, patience, or skill to apply self-tanning products yourself.

The benefits of an airbrush tan include a smooth even distribution and finish of the product over the entire body (including elbows, knees, and hands) thereby creating the effects of natural looking, sun-kissed skin. For women of color, this service is great to even out uneven skin tones, diminish tan lines and/or highlight your skin with a golden glow.

Pores No More

2009-09-08T23:53:00.000-07:00

If you have problems with visible pores, oily skin and acne, then I have the perfect foundation primer for you (and ME)!

Cover FX Clearprep FX is described as an "anti-shine" primer that reduces lines and pores and is long-lasting and easy to blend. The dermatologist-tested, lightweight gel helps prevent and heal acne blemishes. The Dermaveil-Matte technology has an instant mattyfying effect, while the smoothing veil blurs lines and pores while allowing skin to breath. It's free of parabens, oils and fragrances and is perfect for all skin types, especially those with oily tendency and are prone to breakouts.

MAKEUP MODIFICATION

2008-09-14T10:08:00.001-07:00

In these tough economic times we are all looking for ways to cut back and modify how we spend our money on food, gas, clothing, etc. What about your cosmetic purchases? How do you cutback without sacrificing the quality of your makeup? No worries, I’ve done some extensive research for you and I have found that actually some cosmetic brands sold at drugstores are in fact a good find. One cosmetic brand that really stands out to me is MILANI COSMETICS. Their quality, texture, pigmentation and wearability rivals MAC cosmetics but at a fraction of the cost.

For instance, are you looking for a mineral makeup without the ash, sheen or cakiness it is sometimes known for? Then look no further because I have found it! MILANI has a beautiful compact Mineral Powder that offers great coverage without the ashiness, etc. In fact I use this product in combination with their Cream-to-Powder Foundation when I don’t have time to airbrush myself in the morning. The whole line is fantastic! Here is a list of MILANI products that I personally use on a regular basis:

Easybrow Pencil
Brow Powder Kit
Velvet Lips Creamy Lipcolor
Mineral Compact Makeup
Cream to Powder Makeup

MILANI can be found at CVS, Kmart, Target and Walgreens.

Free DVD or Not Free DVD? That is the Question.

2008-03-28T21:53:00.000-07:00

I gotta tell you this unbelievable story:

There is this lady trying to extort my DVD from me in exchange for posting her pictures on my website. Even though I have never bartered, paid, or promised anything to anyone (including her) in exchange for posting pictures on my site, this woman has convinced herself that her pictures are SO SPECIAL that surely she deserves a free DVD.

If you don't believe that, you also won't believe that she has threatened to sue me in Small Claims Court based on a verbal agreement we never had and damages she never sustained! All because she doesn't want to pay $29.95 for my DVD! I guess I should be flattered that she wants my DVD so bad. What do you think?

Picture Perfect

2007-11-26T20:27:00.000-08:00

I'm still trying to get into the habit of blogging and doing it correctly... so please bear with me. I thought I would start by posting some pictures of my 2007 brides. So far I've done makeup for 65 weddings this year but I only have pictures of 8 of them. I'm been so busy with the pre-release, release, and post-release of my DVD that I let that aspect of my business fall through the cracks. As soon as I get more pictures I will post them. I promise I will post many pictures in 2008. In the meantime, I thank all of my brides that have gladly given me copies of their beautiful pictures. Please view pictures below.

Welcome

2007-03-22T13:51:00.000-07:00

You found me! I'm so excited! What do you think of the new venue of communication I have created?
