Summer Luvin No. 1

Photos Stephen Drescher

There are a couple of ways to designate a Number One pick of luxury summer goods for the globe to digest. One is that I am using the item and decided the days in my life would not be of the same intoxicating enjoyment without. Number two: my colleagues representing Chanel buy the goods from me.

Let me just note: topping the Costa del Mar sunglasses is not easy. Hitting the number one spot is the entire Bronze Goddess collection from Estee Lauder.

I wrote about this fragrance over one year ago when I first discovered the mixture of frangipanis, Italian Bergamot and Juicy Madarin Pulp.

Since then I’ve amassed an entire wardrobe from this Global Cult favorite. The Body Scrub, The Whipped Body Cream, Heat Wave Illuminating Powder Gelee, one of the new Mineral Infused Matte Bronzer, Eau Frache Skinscent and the 2018 Eyeshadow Palette.

This posh palette for Summer can only be found (appropriately) on Poshmark or ebay at this point. The 2019 Desert Heat Palette one is going to have to search for; but there is this Limited Edition Goddess Glow Eyeshadow Palette for under forty dollars.

The eyeshadows, bronzers,, and highlighter keep the sunkissed, cosmopolitan beach look going all year; because when the leaves begin to turn in the Fall, the sun lovers and beach lovers in us all begin booking and packing for adventures to MIA and South.

Want to lock in endless summer follow my social media pages and I am going to be giving away a one-point seven ounce Eau Fraiche Skinscent and the Heat Wave Illuminating Power Gelee . Let’s Let the Sun Worship You and celebrate the last four weeks of Summer 2019.

Summer Luvin’ No. 8

All photos Steven Drescher

My favorite luxury body cream is Estée Lauder’s White Linen. Launched back in 1978 this floral and fresh scent is described as cool, clean & crisp.

The Fan Scallop seashell on the porcelain jar captures the essence of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The top notes contain lemon and peach. The middle: orchid and hyacinth among others. The fragrance, created by Sophia Grosjman ends with honey, Tonka bean and oakmoss.

A seven ounce jar featuring the seashell sells for fifty-five dollars. If a jar can be located. This item sold out across the board before anyone could mark Memorial Day.

The elements capture the purity of white linen dried in the sun.

Summer Luvin’ on these Lux Goods

All photos Steven Drescher

Summer is well underway and I know we’re all either lovin’ on the summer sunshine if we reside on the North Coast, or trying to escape the tropical heat for a climate more tepid if in the South Florida region.
I’ve been out and about and as always unplugged, even forgetting, to bring one of my iPhone 7 Pluses along with me.

But, I did my homework. I shopped. I scoured Dillard’s Department store and am toting around these luxury goods to create a summer full of unparalleled products. Once I release these, I’ll release some social media photos to remind everyone exactly what Paradise is.

Here’s Number Ten. The Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Radiant UV Base containing a Broad Spectrum SPF 50.

This is the caviar of face sunscreens on the market. The Re-Nutriv brand is a brand within the Lauder brand. Introduced in 1956 the line contained (and still does) rare and precious ingredients. At the time those were Turtle and Shark Oil plus Royal Jelly. Though those aren’t any longer politically correct ingredients, here is what the product does contain and why I recommend this to anyone and everyone who needs a face sunscreen.

  • “Rock of Life” Algae. This ancient life form has survived and thrived for over three billion years. The precious fossils are found in Shark Bay Australia, South Africa’s Umbilo River and the Red Sea. The repair and protective benefits are all yours.
  • EGT. A supercharged amino acid and anti-oxidant recharges skin’s energy to build on the reserves of vitality.
  • Silketare. Comes from an incomparable sea plant only harvested a few times per year. This remarkable extract helps skin to restore its natural ability to product energy and encourages optimum cell performance.

This UV Base can be worn daily over a serum and/or moisturizer and under makeup. The soft focus optics produces a luminous look give a burst of glowing vitality.

One ounce sells for seventy-five dollars.

Non-acegenic, this is the one tube to tote all year. I always toss on a Panama Jack hat and my polarized Costa Gannetts for a day at the beach or the pool and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call face sun protection.

Lashes Deserve Love

“See the difference between the right eye and the left. This one has the Lash Primer (Plus) underneath the mascara,” Estee Lauder Beauty Adviser Paula McAdam explained to a bride-to-be gaining some necessary big day tips.

The brunette accountant for Marathon, set to say her vows this October, noticed the difference in lash length. So did her mom.

The Lash Primer Plus boosts the effects of mascara. Simply place the white conditioner on lashes and add any Estee Lauder, MAC, Smashbox, or Clinique mascara and boom lashes grow to extremes.

Some of the big players in the market such as Lauder’s Sumptuous Extreme impacts with Prismatic Pearls to intensify pigment and luster.

This particular mascara creates an audacious false lash effect, especially when paired with the Lash Primer Plus. There isn’t a need for costly extensions or eyelash glue that won’t come off — or worse which causes an allergic reaction.

“Mascara is a must-have,” stressed Adams who has twenty-five years in the lux cosmetics industry working for every line including Chanel and MAC.

An event for makeup and mascara enthusiasts is set for this upcoming weekend.

All brands *with the exclusion of Chanel are included.

Buy any two, customers can mix and match across the luxury brands, and the third is a gift from the store.

This truly is the perfect way for women to treat themselves as we celebrate the dads, granddads, fathers, and brothers in our lives. For up-to-date bold brows click here to meet the Brow Boss Kyle Ricker.

Order through me 419-862-7143 North Coast 305-395-8890 S Fla

a Quick note — I have already seen and studied the new Fall 2019 wardrobe of new colors, products and even a new scent, a version of this one. Plus includes a new Sumptuous Rebel Length + Lift Mascara. We’re all going to love this product because it’s washable.

Brow Drama

The only day to day drama is the brows. Anytime I open up the package to a new Estee Lauder DARK BRUNETTE Brow Multi-Tasker the moment is similar to Christmas morning at about age eight.

This beauty gadget takes brow art to a new level for women of all ages and all ethnicities — minus the added tools. One end consists of a definer, powder element that springs open in the middle and a spoolie brush on the other end.

“Wow,” exclaimed makeup artist Kyle Ricker when I sat down to let him work his wonder.

When I work with this at home or at work, or in the field I simply flip the instrument around like a baton in my hand until I have the results I need. I tell everyone to practice before they make dinner, or after, and dinner dishes are being put away. This way there is time for error when learning how to use AND… the face is going to be washed anyway before bed. Listen to this — I don’t want to wash the Brow Multi -Tasker off! The va-va-voom feeling is captured with this little creation. Comes in eight shades and sells for under thirty dollars.

By the way… in life (or at least mine) “drama” doesn’t exist. Only the conscious level at which individuals choose to show up in self-awareness.

Love Breaks All Rules: Part III an eyeshadow secret

“I love you more every day”

Right now I love showing every customer how to use the quintuplet eyeshadow palettes. Pictured is all of the “eye gear” I wore for the promo shoot.

  • Start with ANR Supercharged Complex, a new eye recovery serum that not only works on fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness – but contains a component to combat blue light damage done from the phone, computer and tv
  • I conceal with Doublewear Flawless Concealer around the eye and use as an eyeshadow base
  • Apply a light base color on entire eye lid and use the darker shade to smudge with an eyeliner brush all around the outer edges *Shown is Ivory Power 
  • For added impact add Doublewear Waterproof Stay in Place eyeliner in Espresso — brown liners make blue and green eyes pop
  • Finish with Lash Primer Plus and Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

… for a look you, and he, will love
