Beauty From The Inside Out

When I think of beauty products that are both good for you and come in a variety of colors and textures, there are only a few names I trust. My salon only works with Aveda products so I know my tresses and skin are always in great hands. While I was planning on writing this post about my beauty makeover, I couldn't think of a better place then my favorite salon.

On a sunny autumn day, I entered Blue Remedy Salon in Mahopac, New York and was welcomed as usual by their warm staff. Gina, one of the owners introduced me to their makeup artist, Fawn Monique. As I sat on a plush chair, I closed my eyes and let Fawn work her magic. She began with Fire Nature All Sensitive Cleanser& Moisturizer which felt so refreshing, followed by a mild exfoliant (Botanical Kinetic).

Afterwards, the makeup transformation took place starting with foundation and finishing with mascara. I loved the Golden Jasper eyeshadow trio which is made from oil of orchid, geranium, jasmine and mica. Having sensitive eyes, I am very selective with my eye makeup; the eyeshadow and Mascara (Iceland Moss in Black forest) are a must for any sensitive eye or contacts gal!

For the evening look, she deepened the color palettes to create a more intense look . Fawn created my signature ruby red color by combining 2 colors; Lip Vandanite and Cherry Blossom.

Aveda was one of the first pioneers of mineral makeup (1987) and their mission to make you beautiful from the inside out without any harsh chemicals is still true today.
