The beauty of Melanin

One of my favorite skincare lines is "Nuance" from the beautiful Salma Hayek who is Mexican and Lebanese, which  explains why she is great to look at. This line has been out since August 2011 with high quality ingredients for affordable prices.

So far the products I have tried is the body scrub as well as the exfoliating enzyme mask. Not only does this product line have cleansers and moisturizers but make-up as well. Here is a review from a blogger and the greatest thing about the products is they smell delicious and feel great on the skin as well.

Isn't she lovely

Released October 2005

What a lovely book that showcases the reality of history for fashion models and just how beautiful skin that contains or produces melanin really is. This is one of the most impressive beauty books I have seen because it really is a guide of taking care of the skin and how make-up is applied to achieve different looks.

Just in case you do not know the meaning of Melanin, here is one according to the Encyclopedia on this website which is legit.

"Any of several organic compounds, dark biological pigments that give coloration (shades of yellow to brown) to skin, hair, feathers, scales, eyes, and some internal tissues, notably the substantia nigra in the brain. In humans, melanins help protect the skin against the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, but melanoma may arise from cells that produce it. The amount in the skin depends on both genetic and environmental factors. Melanin is produced from the amino acid tyrosine; albinos lack the enzyme that catalyzes that reaction."

Brows-ing emotions

This past Tuesday I waxed and tinted my eyebrows after letting them grow for four weeks since February 24th. My eyebrows came out wonderful and I did a good job for shaping them on my own. I believe that the eyebrows can make or break the face because they help frame the face. The eyebrows are to a face what a frame is to a painting or picture. What a week it has been in learning and human relations that has been full of so much emotion and movements filled with madness. Guest appreciation day was interesting and was perfect to kick off to celebrating Earth Month at Aveda and beyond.

Nothing compares to nice full eyebrows.

The brow tint in Brown gives the brows some extra boldness and definition that I love.
