Hello Bright Eyes!

The limited edition Marvelous in Pink Kit is a must have for bright eyes. Keep all of the attention on your eyes by using the light shimmery color all over the eyelid. Next, accent the crease with the darker pink, then apply the gray as a soft eyeliner. A subtle blush and pink ginger lips finish this natural, beautiful look.

For evening, instead of the gray liner, apply a thick black eyeliner and lots of volumizing mascara to pull the eyes up and out!

Think Pink with gloMarvelous in Pink kit.

gloProfessional has partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and created glominerals gloMarvelous in pink kit which is now in stores! A portion of all proceeds are being donated to the NBCF to support its mission to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need.

This do-gooder of a kit has been stirring up quite some attention! From various trade magazines to widely visited websites such as seventeen.com and iVillage, everyone has been raving about gloMarvelous in pink!

And it's no wonder, the products included are sure to turn some heads. The kit contains gloLiquid lips in pink ginger, which launched this past summer and became an instant hit. Pink ginger is a sheer, flirty pink with just a hint of sparkle that looks incredible on all skin tones. Plus, its perfect for fall to balance the ever-popular smoky eye that you surely will be sporting (more to come on smoky eye looks soon!).

The kit also includes a NEW gloEye shadow shade, ballerina, that was created just for this kit. It is a combination of an icy, light pink, a shimmery, deep rose and a gentle, foggy gray. To be completely honest, the first time I saw this trio I thought it was pretty in the compact but was wary of how these colors were going to look once put on. I'm not a pink eyeshadow kind of girl. Actually, I'm typically not a fan of pink in general. Does this stem from a bad incident with pepto-bismol as a child? No clue, but if I buy something pink its usually because of a certain cause behind it.

Back to the makeup... so, I was skeptical...but shocked when I gave it a go and LOVED what I saw. The pinks aren't super pink once on, but instead really delicate washes of color. After playing around with these 3 shades I've concluded that they look lovely worn together, but even better, they all pair nicely with other shades for endless look possibilities. The gray makes any eye color pop, but to amp it up even more try pairing with a gloEye shadow in blue suede and gloPrecision eye pencil in twilight for a twist on a smoky eye (TIP: the blue makes the whites of your eyes look brighter...perfect for you late-nighters out there). If you love color, pair the 2 shades of pink and add gloEye shadow in eggplant to the mix - voila! Gorgeous. Don't limit yourself to my suggestions - get creative! Post a comment and let me know what combos you are loving.

Whether you're picking this up for yourself or for someone else, you can feel good about helping provide women help for today and hope for tomorrow.

It's not just lipstick, it's art.

New York Moves magazine, a prime source for up to the minute lifestyle and fashion happenings, recently included cult favorite glominerals gloLip stick in vixen in its spread called Tortured Artists, where the question was raised if there is a legitimate medium for real art?



When the artist was asked "Why lipstick?" she replied "Why not?". And judging by this gorgeous mess I think she had the right idea to stray from the norm.

Better than EVER!

Michelle says:
"The new, reformulated Mineral Fusion mascara is great! It gives my eyelashes more volume and they definitely look thicker without looking clumpy. It’s also great because my eyes are very sensitive, and who could go without mascara?"

Face Spackle? Sounds great!

glo skincare employee recommendation:


Annemarie says:
"I really like the glominerals face primer because, like Chanda always says, "It's like spackle". It really does help cover all of the little imperfections, it helps the mineral makeup go on more smoothly and it stays on longer too. A little goes a long way – all you need is half a pump a day! So worth it!!!"

Burning the candle at both ends.

Guys and dolls, the day has come.

The anjou pear & grapefruit scent has now launched in candle form... and I am head over heels for this newcomer. I truly believe that this is quite possibly the most energizing candle I have burned. Ever.

When it was still in testing I had a sample candle that I kept burning all day, every day (let me clarify - while I was at my desk, no burning down the building happening on my account thank you very much). It was my new morning ritual to come in the office, grab a cup of tea, light my super energizing anjou pear & grapefruit candle and no matter how little sleep I had gotten the night before, I was awake and ready to get down to business within minutes (talk about workplace productivity!).

Then the inevitable happened. One day, and very early in the day mind you, my little anjou pear & grapefruit candle burned down to nothing and I was left not knowing what to do...the actual candles were still in production and I had no way of getting another for at least a month. I broke down and had a tube of anjou pear & grapefruit body butter sitting in my desk drawer that I would apply wayyyy more than necessary. Just to get a whiff... (this is when I admit that I, Lauren, am addicted to anjou pear & grapefruit...)

But now...the candles have launched!

Meaning that I can go back to the time where I didn't spend half my day applying body butter to my hands and arms just for an anjou pear & grapefruit fix.

And the real icing on the cake is... this scent is available in travel candles too! They are surprisingly long burning and the perfect size for traveling (hence the name) and for small gifts! My entire family is getting one in their stocking this Christmas...(and if you are part of my family and reading this...act surprised!)

Make the most of the last of your tan...

It's official. Summer is over...thank goodness you are left with an amazingly, perfect tan (all thanks to your sunless tanner, of course). What better way to complement your golden skin before it starts to fade than to flaunt gilded, goddess eyes?!

Not only does it look absolutely fabulous against your bronzed complexion, but the shimmery golden pearl or deep gilded bronze of glominerals gloReflection cream eye shadow will add a sexy, metallic touch to your fall look. For added dimension, layer one on top of another or use in combination with a rich jewel tone like glominerals new fall shade of gloEye shadow, mermaid.

The cream formulation offers fool-proof application. Just apply, blend and smudge as needed and a few seconds later it's set to a powdery finish that's not going anywhere.

Little known tip: Try applying and blending the glominerals gloReflection cream eye shadow with the camouflage brush for more control. The brush works amazingly with the cream formulation due to its increased firmness and synthetic bristles (a must for liquids and creams!).
