Years and years ago, drops were made from the belladonna plant that were used by women to dilate their pupils. Apparently, dilated pupils used to be considered attractive, so women would use the drops to look their best. The only problem? Belladonna can cause minor visual distortions, inability to focus on near objects, and increased heart rate. Prolonged usage was reputed to cause blindness.<br /><br />Fear not...belladonna is no longer used for cosmetic purposes and is not in anything from the brand I'm introducing you to today: <a href="http://www.labelladonna.com/" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(187, 33, 58); ">La Bella Donna</a>.

I received a lovely box filled with products to try out. La Bella Donna makes "mineral makeup that is truly good for your skin." Their products include loose mineral foundation, liquid mineral foundation, highlighting creme colors (in moonlight and candlelight), bronzers, concealers, mineral eye shadows, and even mineral makeup for men(!). Their products are all natural, and their mission is to "bridge the gap between wellness and sophisticated beauty." Their foundations contain non-chemical SPF20 and are free of dyes, oils, talc, alcohol and other chemicals.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqE6Nkr5RzLnF5YUBM2Uuc35bF8F2CQuD8xPFSjkQn1BbtM47Hzgf7ZPM66d0-rkDGzCIACX9ov7TbCQxzQivlpGzlOlbMO025jzzl8MgZM5bgCGoBlce15tW5ScVFjYWjl2E3-Nto2Vs/s1600/bella1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(187, 33, 58); margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqE6Nkr5RzLnF5YUBM2Uuc35bF8F2CQuD8xPFSjkQn1BbtM47Hzgf7ZPM66d0-rkDGzCIACX9ov7TbCQxzQivlpGzlOlbMO025jzzl8MgZM5bgCGoBlce15tW5ScVFjYWjl2E3-Nto2Vs/s1600/bella1.jpg" style="border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; position: relative; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; " /></a></div>My favorite product I've tried is their face compact called <a href="http://www.labelladonna.com/shop/product.php?productid=16161&cat=0&page=1" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(187, 33, 58); ">Vision of Mineral Lights Compact Colours </a>($45). Here's how they describe this product: "Quads of compressed mineral bronzing colours give your skin an après sun-kissed glow. Naturale-created for those with a more fair complexion and may also be used as eyeshadows. Bronze- utilizes both the skin’s naturally occurring tanning undertones of gold and red. Both colours options are a beauty makeup kit must-have."<br /><br />I love that this quad of color can be used in so many different ways: as a bronzer, an eyeshadow, etc. You could throw this compact in your bag and be set for the day...nice!<br /><br />The La Bella Donna products I've tried have been of good quality and have been easy to use. They're a bit spendy, so they're not for everyone.

Amidst the red rocks of Arizona and glorious beaute of Sedona's sun sets, the EYES become the face focus for spring 2011. The Compact Colour of compressed mineral eye shadows may be described as a fiery glow, just as the day gives way to night on a fantastic evening in Sedona. The silky textured, laser-milled mineral eye shadows do not irritate the lid and may be used wet and dry, containing no FD&C dyes, talc, oil, alcohol, cornstarch or fragrance.</div><div><br /></div><div>THE COLLECTION: Mineral shades of: Rust, Grey, Deep Taupe and Bone are presented in four quads of colour, placed in the La Bella Donna Slim, Silver Mirrored Compact and Signature Grey Pouch. These new mineral colours offer numerous application techniques with Rust as this spring season's dominant colour of choice. </div><div><br /></div><div>MASTER MAKEUP ARTIST APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:</div><div><br /></div><div>A. Apply Bone to your lid from lash line to crease, wet your Eye Shadow Brush and apply the Rust to your lid. Blend Deep Taupe into your crease and your lower lash line for a reverse cat eye effect, use Grey, (wet for a more dramatic look, dry for a softer look) as your eyeliner close to the lash lines for both top and bottom application, slightly smudge after application.</div><div><br /></div><div>B. Apply Bone from lash line to brow bone, use Rust to create a crease, now blend, using an Oval Fluff Eyeshadow Brush. Using Eyeliner Brush take Rust and apply to lower lash line and in the corners for a monochromatic look, use your Oval Fluff Eye Shadow Brush to press the Rust colour onto the center of the lids. </div><div><br /></div><div>Blend, blend and blend again regarding both Master Makeup Artist application techniques to achieve the perfect face focus for spring... THE EYES. </div>Kathy Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09879061832743866709noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748126629450956227.post-12696480580856527012011-07-20T19:05:00.000-07:002011-07-20T19:08:35.306-07:00Limited Edition Co-Exist Gel Creme, 1oz<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrmxwFz6gY4Rp4AnOWU60IC7WLZNIhwhRKmtzrwMx-ahMFgmDiXW-_7lpPaPUZoVNXsyUPPpHS4WANhBd8iyP-r80LRzKtz7KkJJjWk5k_xEw2ZSgDILiHZ91aFP__wNPtrUziYzDJ_E/s1600/co-exist.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrmxwFz6gY4Rp4AnOWU60IC7WLZNIhwhRKmtzrwMx-ahMFgmDiXW-_7lpPaPUZoVNXsyUPPpHS4WANhBd8iyP-r80LRzKtz7KkJJjWk5k_xEw2ZSgDILiHZ91aFP__wNPtrUziYzDJ_E/s320/co-exist.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631621677062333090" /></a><br /><div>Limited Edition Co-Exist Gel Creme, 1oz</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>CO-EXIST GEL CRÈME immediately brightens the skin.

Yet sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging in women. It is also one cause of aging that you can control. It is absolutely vital to wear a product with sunscreen. Even in the dead of winter, you should never leave the house without sun protection. Ultraviolet light, even at low-level exposures, erodes the skin's support structure. It breaks down collagen, causing winkles and sagging. It stimulates the skin to create abnormal elastin fibers, so the skin loses it bounce. Prolonged exposure to UV light damages the skin cells' ability to divide properly and inhibits the growth of healthy cells. <br />
<br />
UVA rays are responsible for photo aging and melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer. UVA penetrates deep into the underlying support structure of the skin. It also blasts apart collagen, destroys elastin, damages the immune system, and causes lines and wrinkles-all over the body. If you want protection from UVB and UVA, your sunscreen must list either titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are sunscreens considered by the FDA to offer "full-spectrum" protection, which means the product offers sufficient protection from both UVA and UVB rays. <br />
<br />
La Bella Donna Loose Mineral Foundation bridges the gap between wellness and beaute. All ingredients are naturale and contain naturale sun protection. Micronized titanium dioxide is a key ingredient. It is found naturally in minerals and does not clog pores or dry out the skin. It works quite remarkably. Basically, it allows light to pass through the visible ray region while intercepting the ultraviolet rays. Micronized titanium dioxide guards against the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, yet gives the skin a naturale looking finish. Research shows micronized titanium dioxide provides a naturale barrier to UVA and UVB radiation without irritation, burning or stinging <br />

To look trendy and stylish check out La Bella Donna's latest Compressed Mineral Eye Shadow Compact Colour Collections: Midnight Azurite and Sedona Sunset. The Smokey Eye Look is easy to apply and remains the best option for getting a mesmerizing and smoldering eye, especially when you take the 'low key glam' approach. Rich in pigments and creamy to the touch the smokey eye from La Bella Donna is soft enough to wear during the day but still strong enough to turns heads at your favorite night time event.<br />
<br />
Blend the lightest of the Compressed Mineral Eye Shadow colour selection from last line on the lid to the brow. After applying to the lash line, smudge lightly. Then begin to select your personalized choice for the lid and crease. A touch of Compressed Mineral Eye Shadow, Gracious Gold in the inner corner of the eyes keeps the look fresh and light. For the face, Vision of Mineral Lights, Bronze on the cheeks and high features of the face. Next create that 'perfect pout', reach for Baci - Baci Moisturizing Lip Sheer in Nude and Sweet P.E.A. A wisp of Mineral Mascara in Dark Brown and your look is complete. Always begin your fresh look with clean hydrated skin using Co-Exist Gel Crème and a light dusting of Loose Mineral Foundation... a makeup that is truly good for your skin.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
