"Momentum Matters"

Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone just stopped what they were doing at a given moment? Now, you and I both know that such a thing would be improbable but is certainly entertaining to think about. Imagine a world of normalcy and sameness, if there is such a word. I challenge all to go beyond the normal and the same and go beyond their limits, and create a sense of momentum by taking lots of action, not just random action, action with a purpose!!! It's good stuff!!!

cheers,

"Mastering Your Make-up/ back to the basics" by RAIN www.raincosmetics.com

I read this article and found it quite interesting, written by Rain. I do want to make a correction from the most recent blog. Rain was born Rainbow not Raindrop as I had previously mentioned. What is quite funny about this whole thing, is that she has her signature raindrop that represents her company and I suppose this is what flashed through my brain when I was describing her.

Mastering Your Make-Up and getting back to the basics

With the evolution of time, everything else seems to have evolved, including our Make-up. One thing for sure has not changed however, and that is our needs. Clearly, we have different needs at different stages depending on our skin type, color tone, and all things considered. Our needs are very basic if we really think about it. Here are 3 basics that may offer fresh perspective when focusing on your make-up needs:

1. Confidence: This is paramount! Regardless of the type of make-up you use and how much you wear, it is irrelevant if your confidence about your product, how to use it, and yourself is not in tact. I realized this early on, when my husband Alfredo and I ran our photo studio. Here we had the most beautiful people inside and out walk in to get photographed, we made them glamorous and "camera ready" to be photographed, and BLAH!! I really mean this. Alfredo and I then found ourselves giving quick pep talks, before our models were to get photographed. They looked great but they didn't believe it within and some of them were lacking the confidence. We made a deduction... and that is confidence is the best tool that cannot be bought, it must either be innate or adopted. A little bit of confidence goes a long way!!!!

2. Know Your Tools: There are several tools that you can utilize that truly make your life easier such as, brushes, color palates, sponges, powder puffs, Q-tips etc. Take the time to learn about what these essentials can do for you and this will allow you to create optimal results. There are basic fundamental ways of application utilizing all of these tools and this will truly make you feel like a professional after learning a few tips.

3. Less Is More!! Know when to use colors and when to not use colors!!! How many times have you applied your make-up, thinking more of this or that is better, and then soon realized that this is so untrue? Your face is the world's window into you and who you are. Let's not get misinterpreted by applying a little too heavy. At our school "The Make-up Artist School by Rain" we offer a full range of education for the budding artist to the everyday individual who wants to learn the basics. One thing we consistently teach is that for your individual look, a natural you is quite effective.

If you master thse basics, you will find that your personal cosmetic needs will be much easier and much more effective!!

COSMETIC GURU RAIN- TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM-ONE FACE AT A TIME

Behind every great product is typically a great leader or visionary who created the product and had enough belief until success was achieved!!  I have had the good fortune of meeting up with Rain ( believe it or not, this is truly her real name, she was actually born with the full name of "raindrop")  If you read in my blog yesterday, you read about my experience with the most amazing cosmetic line!! Those of you who know me, do know that I am not one to be shy when I love something.   I want you to be able to pull from this successful woman's vision for creating a product that has the perfect blend of energy, sexy, and excellence. 

I had the good fortune of meeting up with Rain- she has quite an interesting story which I think is worth reading because she proves to all of us that with a vision and a great team, anything is possible!!!

At a young age, Raindrop Hannah Bee recalls her fascination with her mother's make-up drawer, and as she evolved through life, she realized that in her very first beauty pageant, she had to take her fascination more seriously.    She learned early on, the importance of looking great in person as well as on stage through her pageant experience.  Rain went on to college and studied communications and it was through her roommate, who worked for a reputable cosmetics company which this allowed Rain the exposure to another level of understanding, in the cosmetics world.  Rain expanded her range and became quite creative with her new found skill of applying make-up and became the "go to girl" for glamour in her circle.  

This was a turning point for Rain, as she experienced with many other color choices and realized she had a world of options at her fingertips.  As she finished college at UNLV she continued on studying her new found profession and married, prominent fashion photographer, Alfredo Andreani.  This set a different stage for their collective endeavor and the perfect marriage was created not only on a personal level but a professional level!  

Alfredo and Rain became so busy with their photo studio, obviously with Rain at the make-up helm and Alfredo at the camera, they created an incredibly successful business!

Another turning point occurred for Rain and Alfredo when their clients were so thrilled at the way they looked and came back to Rain and asked exactly how they could achieve the great look that she delivered for them.  

The rest... is history and after hours and hours of brainstorming and research to find the perfect blend, Rain and Alfredo created the perfect hero product which is their foundation.  The demand has grown to such a level, that there are requests all over for the "flawless face" that the Rain cosmetic line assists you with!!

Enjoy tomorrow, the article written by Rain which offers tips on creating the perfect face!!!

"Rain Cosmetics Is The Best"

I am sooo thrilled to tell the world about the hottest sexiest make-up in the world.  This incredible line is as fresh and sassy as it's name.  I put this amazing line to the test.  I recently came back from my trip from South Africa and England and I now can say that Rain Cosmetics really delivered for me.  I had to write a letter to Rain, she is the founder of this amazing line, and I could not help myself I had to send this to her.  I just contacted her this past Saturday and this is what I wrote-

As a speaker on and off camera, and busy business woman, I don't like short cuts but I do like convenience and "The Best" and I have to tell you, I am so thrilled about your entirely fabulous make-up line.  I don't even know where to begin, I love Rain Cosmetics.  I had not worn foundation since 1996 because I really got tired of the cakey feeling on my face.  Now here we are in 2009 and i was introduced to your incredible make-up and finally you have invigorated my attitude towards foundation.  I know this sounds crazy, but I am telling you, with your foundation, I get the coverage no matter what.  Whether I am looking for glamorous or everyday flawless, your foundation makes my life easier along with the mineral powder.  When I recently travelled over seas for 20 days the convenience of your entire collection made my life easier because I had all of my tools, thanks to you at my fingertips!!

To your entire team, thanks sooo much!!!!

"Take nothing for granted"

In life, we have opportunities to manifest and create our reality.  What may have once been a vision could now be that certain reality or what may have been a vision may now be a dream of sorts.  All in all, we are here to manifest and create.  

I suppose I am touching on this because of the valuable lesson I have learned most recently.  I have learned to be careful and wise to all that appears to say one thing and define itself as the OTHER.  

This has made me a bit skeptical for the future but, I am learned and I truly respect lessons, so I will take all experiences as a potential lesson that I must learn.

This brings me to my new expectations and a new learning at this stage of my life.

Every experience leads us to reflection of thought and creates in us an emotion that can serve of greater value for the future.  Regardless of what we have been through, if we have felt pain, the pain is real likened to the fact that if we have felt pleasure, the pleasure is real.

Key points:

1.    Make all relationships matter

2.   Be cordial and nice to those whom you love

3.   Never assume too much comfort with one

4.   Verbal badger to those whom we care about is never acceptable

5.   Love with careless abandon and not skepticism 

6.   Be powerful through actions stemming from abundance not scarcity

7.   Create power in synergy and not a lack of it in feeling others are a threat

8.   Be a light to all that you come into contact with

9.   Follow the powerful giving heart and be the same

10. Tolerate Zero Negativity because it depletes the soul

11. Take nothing for granted

"Personal Growth"

Excerpt from the book "SoulMates" by Thomas Moore

In the practice of friendship, we might keep this important aspect of soul in mind: its need for containment.  Our capacity to keep a secret could be important to a friend who may feel free to talk to us in a spirit of confidentiality.  It often happens, too, that what goes on among certain friends has to be PROTECTED from other friendships.  Emily Dickinson's biographer Richard Sewall notes that Emily made a separate world of her various correspondents and friends:  "the letters to Higginson say nothing about Bowles; the letters to Bowles say nothing about Higginson; the letters to Helen Hunt Jackson say nothing about either of them."

Containment in a friendship is a powerful tool.

I need more Emily's in my life!

A loose tongue could kill the sacredness of two souls.  Tammy Delores Lier
