NICOLE PAXSON PAINTED LADY POWDER! GODDESS GRANNY!

Mjsred I am tired. I'm sure y'all are starting to feel the same way in spite of
your best efforts? It takes a lot to make all that magic happen behind the scenes this time of the year so I for one and really grateful when I find something that is effortless and effective! I'll try to get my point acrossthis week in a simple-way because I know y'all have better thing to do than sit and read for hours,LOL! I love the spirit of the Holidays but really appreciate when someone/something "helps" no matter what the need might be and I think these products do just that!

Y'all read the fabulous reviews of Nicole Paxson's bronzer last week: I agree that it's an easy to use powder that leaves a natural glow and protects with Nicole's famous SPF! However,I simply must embellish on this bronzer and rave a bit about her Painted Lady Powder and Creme Foundation...without any effort at all,these two products will leave you flawless and finished no matter how much "help" your skin needs and mine is currently not it's best after one too many late nights!


The powder could easily be worn alone and it's available in "one shade fits all"...I admit I was a skeptic but honestly,it DID work even on my pale as the driven snow complexion and the coverage,ability to control shine,and finish were really impressive! I received the bronzer and powder to review and was so delighted that I took it upon myself to order up the "Monarch Creme Foundation" in shade Light 2 in order to really test the combo of products.All of Nicole's products are designed and crafted from the finest-quality ingredients and while her target-market might be those who need to cover up a bit more,I'm here to tell you that I have never used a creme to powder foundation before that went on so smoothly from the GORGEOUS compact with the PERFECT sponge that was included with so little effort and such amazing results! Almost no blending was required and the finish was natural,glamorous without looking heavy,and the simple fact that I could save time and energy by using this and still end up looking so wonderful went a long way with me right now! Plus the fact that any foundation that included an SPF of 30 and manages to not look opaque is nothing short of genius! Nicole has also fine-tuned the formulas and shades so that they'll work for all,the shade I chose was slightly yellow-based and I could see it working on a wide-range of skin tones.

Nicole donates a portion of all sales to Lupus research and that's a lot these days when most are in it for profit only but besides the fact that she has created some fabulous niche-use products in a highly competetive market,they are simply good enough to be used by anyone who likes a foundation with a less than sheer finish.With just these three products and a dab of the red lipstick we're all loving these days,I am out the door in less than 10 minutes and my skin looks like I'm well rested and glowing when I know it's not true,LOL!

So if you're in need of a bit of foundation "help" no matter what condition your skin might be in,give these products a try:you won't be sorry! Very fast shipping,beautiful packaging,and you can tell she believes in what she sells because it's all crafted with purpose and style!


Ladies, I know a bunch of you got this fab product! Please spread your wings and chime in!

Buy It Here!

I am all for a full coverage product that comes in one compact. Though I always fallprey to the foundation/concealer/stick/idea of the time I invariably get lazy after awhile and want a one item does all for full coverage and dashing out of the house. NicolePaxsons powder fits this to a tee. It a soft and never chalky looking full coveragepowder that allows for blendability and little retouching is necessary. Unfortunatelyfor me the color combo I recieved wasn't complimentary to my ruddy complexion and it mademe look just a little orangey. No fault of the powder...just a matter of chance whatcolor you receive and how it will look on the reviewer. But the attributes of the powder stand out and I know if I ordered it in a better match color for my tone it will bea keeper in my purse. For now I'll share the love and pass my barely used compact ontosomeone who's skin will love it as much as I know I can! Thanks Nicole...you and yourproducts are worth every penny!

Love, hugs and shoes...Angie

Okay...gonna' shamelessly chime in here yet a bit more: dragged my sorry butt out of bed at 5:30 am to hit the gym for weight/cardio/yoga class because I just know for @ 2 weeks in NY,I'll be a slug. It was cold and nasty outside and even after a cup of coffee,I was dreading getting my act together and out the door.Grabbed my "Painted Lady" and after dabbing a couple of "yes,she DID eat sugar and now she will pay for it" sopts with the Monarch Creme foundation,I swiped the posder all over,drew a black line above my eyes,glossed up my lips and ran out the door...yes,vanity will win with me,even during a hard workout,LOL! I got hit on my a 20 something college guy home for the Holidays...when I giggled and we chatted a bit after the shock wore off,I told him I had a son older than he was and 4 grandkids he smiled and said:"Well,you look so young,most women don't look so amazing this early in the morning and you really have such gorgeous skin and all..." Insert shocked emoticon here.It's Nicole's magic products,I'm SWEARING BY THEM! Oh...and I had NO transferring,rub off,or anythign even after 3 hours of sweat!!!

I was lucky enough to received a Painted Lady powder compact from the beautiful Meg in my latest big make-up pack!  I have to say this couldn't have come at a better time - I had just scraped the very last of my current MAC blotting powder from its shell and was looking at my bank balance wanting some beauty dollars to magically materialise.. thankfully I didn't have to stare for long, as the mail-box delivered!  I found this beautiful powder to be very smooth and gentle on my skin.  It left a lovely finish on my skin and immediately soaked up any extra oil on my t-zone.  I am using it as my top-up powder on my shiney bits, and I could not be happier.  Also the compact packaging is SO SO PRETTY!  I oohed and aahed over it for days, and am still so taken with it.  Great product!

I didn't get it, as this article is from over a year ago. I really love the name of it though - lady powder. SO cute!

I got this lovely, lovely compact from Meg.  I haven't tried it yet because it looks a bit too dark for me...so I'll have to wait for summer.  But I have to admit, just having it sit on my bureau makes me happy because it's so pretty.  And i have to hide it when my sister comes over because she admired it just a little bit too long!
