It's A GOLD RUSH!



Gold isn't just for jewelry anymore. This holiday season be bold and wear
Gold! Shoes, clothes, accessories, make-up and nail color - your choices are
as exciting as they are endless! Look dramatic in this season's latest Gold
rush - strappy sandals (yes sandals in the winter!) and carry a spectacular
clutch purse. Or just plain dazzle them by wearing an eye-catching gold
sequined skirt or top.


First set the stage by drawing an alluring shimmer to your skin with Bloom
Aromatherapy

Shimmer Gold Body Gel



and then light up your eyes with Z New York

Shadow Shifters

I & II
Start with the eye shadow color that works best for you and add the Shadow
Shifters, Be sure that you don't use the same tone for eyes and lips, keep
one a bit darker than the other so you don't wash out your face with too much
of a good thing!



If you are concerned about your eyes revealing your age, stay away from
glitter and shimmering eye shadow and try Murad Murasome

Eye Complex

- to
improve skin texture around eye area with lipid moisturizers, humectants and
antioxidants.




But don't fear, you can still go gold with Z New York

Lip Lacquer

its unlike any other lip gloss! Won't run or cause your lipstick to smear and
disappear. Stays in place and conditions while giving your lips a high gloss,
patent leather shine. Or get funky with gold nail polish by Z New York

Nail Enamel

.





EYE ON COLOR



Want to get spotted from across a crowded room, then bring attention to your
eyes. Party girls know that mascara color is back. Try Z New York

Mascara

- (Navy or Plum) or if you want to get funkier, then try Z New York Mascara - Clear and use the Profaces Deluxe

Spooly Mascara Brush

to add your favorite
eye shadow color as you apply your mascara to really turn heads.



Everyone knows that you should kick it up a notch when going from day to
night, especially on your lips so when it's time for your touch up, try
mixing colors. Don't just darken daytime shades, blend a little. Work from a
palette of lip colors like the professional make up artists do to achieve
sensuous lips with Beauty/Tech

natural, pink, and red tones; lip moisture; lip matte and an empty space and
spatula for your current favorite lipstick. It contains a handy lip brush and

SKIN SAVERS



During the winter season, our skin takes a beating. Cold weather outside, dry
heat inside, you can't keep up! Don't forget to take extra care to keep
moisturized and protected. The single most important step in your skin care
regime is sun protection. UVA rays are the major cause of skin cancer,
premature aging, sagging skin and hyper pigmentation. If using a skin
whitener, age spot fading lotion, etc. you must use a high SPF or you will
not achieve the desired effect. Try Fran Wilson -

L de L Retinol Vitamin A Cream Exxtra Strength

- With SPF 20 - offers the most protection against sunburn and the harmful effects of UVA and UVB damage, while treating the skin with 400,000 i.u.'s of Vitamin A
- a moisturizing formula that helps lessen the visable signs of aging.



To already reduce the appearance of sun and age spots on the face, neck,
shoulders and hands Cellex-C

Fade Away Gel

incorporates two patented
formulations that collectively encourage a visible lightening effect on
problem areas. Regular use of Fade Away Gel promotes a clear, more even
toned complexion in as little as 6 to 8 weeks.

STEPPING OUT



The return of stilettos do visual wonders for your legs by lengthening them
with high skinny heels on boots, pumps and strappy evening sandals, but they
can be killers on your feet. Be kind to your feet and don't wear them to
work and then straight out for a night on the town, or you'll be down for the
count. To keep your feet soft and callous free try Hemp Works
