Hi ! My name is Cara. I am the jewelry designer at The Flowering Earth (www.TheFloweringEarth.com). I find it both interesting and fulfilling that the very same things that inspire me to sketch, write a poem or song, play guitar or piano, also inspire me to create jewelry. Nature and love are two of my favorite muses and our world offers me a never ending pallet of inspiration. I LOVE discovering an exciting new fragrance and I am constantly on the hunt for *THE* perfect scent. New makeup or skincare offering me quick and easy application along with long lasting results and wear are a few of my favorite things!

My Beauty Secret:
EXERCISE& Lots of water. Sleep is great if you can find it! Cellex C every other day with Fresh Sugar Blossom Hand cream on top! A natural looking mascara- my favorite Bare Essentuals Brushless Mascara in black. It takes some getting used to technique-wise but is so natural and soft while still creating LONG lashes! A great lip/cheek stain to achieve a long lasting but natural glow.
My Routine:
If I know what I will be wearing...shower to shoes an hour....if I need to I can be done in 1/2 hour. As far as wine goes I can multitask :0)
My Horror Story:
There was a time in my early 20's where wearing A LOT of makeup was "normal". I wore A LOT. While seeing the doctor - he asks me, "why do you wear so much makeup?" That was the last time I wore my entire makeup kit on my face (and the last time I saw that doctor!)
WOW! This lip/cheek stain works great! I love stains that make your lips look flushed red naturally - as they are when you are a child. It seems that cherry shade when done in a stain almost makes you lips seem fuller in a "born this way" manner. This particular shade also seems to add life to my winter dull skin. The name Cherry Crush is perfect for this - it even smells of cherries but not in an overwhelming way. If you find lip stains drying - you can apply a lip balm over top of the stain however, I found this stain not as drying as others I have tried. The applicator works great and makes it easy to bring along with you. There is no color transfer onto your coffee cup and I have found it lasts a long time on the lips (This is the first cheek/lip stain that I have tried that the color didn't disappear from the inside pout of my lip after drinking a liquid.) I put some on when it arrived yesterday afternoon and my lips still had color this morning even after eating dinner and brushing my teeth. It wasn't spotty color either...though lighter then my initial application color left behind after applying yesterday afternoon - it was an even shade of blush still there upon my lips this morning. I tried a bit on the apples of my cheeks - just a bit....and it worked nicely! I didn't want to much on my cheeks as I wanted my lips to stand out...just put a touch to brighten up my skin. It smooths into the skin easily. This product is fantastic. Give it a try. Even the packaging is pretty! The description on the Stila site mentions it will slightly change shade due to PH levels in an individual's skin to give you your own personal color. Don't worry though - it isn't like those green lipsticks that turned HOT PINK once applied upon your lips of days gone by...just a lovely, wonderful product! $24.00
I am a member of www.MakeupAlley.com and enjoy the Fragrance Forum VERY much. Reading reviews of fragrances and makeup products before purchase. Writing reviews of products that you have tried. It is a great place to be.PerfumeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:"Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents used to give the human body, objects, and living spaces a pleasant smell."Photo from Wikipedia titled "Bottles of some notable commercial perfumes: (clockwise from top left) Bois De Violette, Serge Lutens, 1992; Angel, Thierry Mugler, 1994; Shalimar, Guerlain, 1925; Beyond Paradise, Est
The following is the description of the product from www.fresh.com website - however, I do not use this on my hands - I use this on my face! I LOVE what it does for my skin. I run outside in all temperatures and all kinds of weather and my skin can take a beating from it. That said, this product ON MY FACE has created a completely normal skin environment AND has appeared to correct some issues. This is the first winter that my face has not flaked off in the dry heat of our home. It does feel a bit tacky at first but sinks in quickly and keeps my skin moist all day without feeling greasy! It really isn't moisturizing enough for my hands. It is $38.00 but since I am using it on my face the 3.4 oz tube lasts a long time.Sugar Blossom Hand Treatment is a restorative and preventative formula that renews suppleness with floral acids and real sugar. Hydrating oils and toning citrus extracts restore clarity, hydrate and nourish dry hands. * hibiscus flower acids advance the cell-renewal process and prevent dry skin buildup without irritation * humectant sugar attracts moisture, sealed in by sal seed butter, to create a lasting defensive veil against hydration loss and chapping * antioxidant blackcurrant seed oil and polyphenol-rich lotus flower extract protect the skin from destructive free radicals, while evening primrose extract repairs past damage due to sun exposure and aging * vibrant citruses and fruits plus a hint of sheer flowers create a balancing and serene fragrance experience
