dazzling in december
"Nothing says festive like shimmering metallic makeup (Fitness Magazine, November/December 2011)." In the article "Glisten Up," Eleanor Langston offers get-glam tips from top experts. This brilliant feature prompted a share of sarimotley essentials that will secure you a spot amid the glamorously glimmering.
Start with luminous skin, here's how: party prepped skin is smooth (and exfoliated). Try polish skin-smoothing microdermabrasion creme to get fresh skin fast. Then add a little moisture (a favorite: do-over daily moisture creme with co q-10) to keep skin supple. Now skin is ready to glow.
Prime and prettify with Vapour Organic Beauty Stratus Instant Skin Perfector to even skin's tone and texture. Follow with Vapour's Atmosphere Luminous Foundation for a radiant finish. Add a dash of dazzle atop cheek bones, with Vapour's Aura Mutli-use Blush (radiant), and find luminosity effortless.
Make eyes sparkle. Metallic shadows are definitely soiree savvy, but keep it simple. For brown eyes play with plums (Brushed Velvet), pewters (Cat's Eye Quartz, Titanium) or navy's (Night). Beautify those baby blues with bronze (Bronzite, Caramel, Ember) and copper (Cinnamon Stone, Firefly). And make green eyes gorgeous in plums with hints of pink and gold (Fading Rose, Sun Quartz). Find these shade suggestions from Vapour's Mesmerize Shimmer Eye Treatment and pressed Mineral Eye Shadow at sarimotley.com.
Lovelier with lacquer. Take it to the next level with party pretty metallics for nails from Butter London. Metallic mainstays: Big Smoke (mildly metallic navy), Bluey (metallic dark peacock), Fairy Lights (liquid metal rose pink), Knees Up (smashing metallic red), The Full Monty (molten gold) and Wallis (metallic olive).
Now get glowing girl.

nurture your nails
with the holidays soon approaching, there's no better time to treat yourself to something special. nurture your nails at home with butter LONDON...
follow the steps below for the perfect do-it-yourself mani/pedi; products available at sarimotley.com.
1. remove any dirt and nail lacquer from nails with powder room, acetone free polish remover. powder room will gently remove all traces of nail lacquer, and has a soft powdery scent.
2. apply melt away cuticle eliminator to nails. melt away breaks down and softens dead skin cells for gentle cuticle removal.
3. gently push back the cuticles using a rubber-tipped cuticle stick (or pusher). this step helps achieve that “professional” manicured look.
4. shape nails with a file. gently move the file along the edge of the nail, moving in one direction only to prevent splitting and cracking. a nail file with fine grit is preferred for natural nails.
5. rinse hands/nails before applying butter LONDON three-free nail lacquer.
6. apply nail foundation flawless basecoat. this silk-finish, stain resistant, non-toxic basecoat hides and smoothes tiny ridges and imperfections.
7. for weak or damaged nails use horse power nail fertilizer. horse power is an herbal nail rejuvenator that will strengthen and repair nails, and can be used as both a basecoat and topcoat.
8. apply the first coat of nail lacquer onto your nails. a nice, thin coat will go on smooth and dry quickly. this will decrease the likelihood of nicks or smudges.
9. let your nails dry for a few minutes.
10. if desired, apply a second coat of nail lacquer onto your nails.
11. once dry, apply hardwear p.d. (pretty darn) quick topcoat onto your nails. hardwear protects the layers of color beneath and gives a super-shiny finish.
12. let your nails dry for another few minutes.
13. apply handbag holiday cuticle oil to maintain healthy nails.
14. have pretty nails...
butter LONDON products are formulated without the use of harmful ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene or dbt. for more information on these or other products visit our contact page or send an email to sari@sarimotley.com.
happy nails.

clarity, a clear choice
whole living magazine (september, 2011) shared great insight on cleansing with oil. the article, coming clean (j. hart), talks about why these types of cleansers work. "when you put oil and oil together, they bind to each other... the oil in the skin attaches to the oil in the cleanser, and then you rinse them both off, resulting in effective deep-pore cleansing (j. graff, m.d.)." visit wholeliving.com for the whole story.the article goes on to talk about who might be a great candidate for using said cleanser (those who love supple skin), how to use them and suggests a few brands to peruse. mentioned, you'll find a sarimotley favorite: vapour organic beauty's clarity makeup removing cleansing oil (available at sarimotley.com).
clarity gently and effectively cleans by dissolving all traces of makeup, dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural protective layer. this tissue-off formula is made with 95 percent certified organic ingredients, like camellia oil to perk up skin tone and evening primrose, which deeply hydrates with essential fatty acids.

colors this season do not tease, they speak with real passion! think rich, true reds; beautiful berries and mesmerizing metallics.
lips are loving color; clear, crisp hues with bold intensity. practice being bold with see-through color like ravish (a sheer, cool red). take another fearless step with tryst (a universal neutral red). or go all the way with bold (a classic cool, deep red) or torrid (black orchid). lip colors from vapour organic beauty, available at sarimotley.com

glamourous, sultry eyes are not the next big thing, they are a reality. play with metallic shadows and your smokey eyes will become smoldering... pick simple go-to shades like copper and gold, favorites for autumn, and incorporate classic hues with tinges of navy, truffle, slate or coffee. find nourishing color in vapour's mesmerize eye color and velvety-smooth, jet-milled pressed mineral eye shadow from sarimotley at sarimotley.com.
skin is so fresh it looks like, well, skin... think satiny, smooth and soft. this uncomplicated look is easy to achieve with perfect foundation. find the one that is right for you, color and texture. sarimotley cosmetics offers vapour's award winning atmosphere soft focus or atmosphere luminous foundations.

summer makeup tips
scorching temps, barely bikinis and melting makeup? who's ready for summer?
summer fun has its place, but your makeup does not have to melt off your face. keep makeup simple and beautiful with these five face-friendly tips.
1. prime time
neglecting this savvy makeup step is so yesterday! a great makeup primer will provide a smooth and ready surface for longer-lasting makeup. try VAPOUR favorites stratus instant skin perfector and stratus soft focus instant skin perfector. these 3-n-1 moisturizer, primer and no-color foundations balance skin for a smooth, luminous look on their own or as a beautiful base for color makeup.
2. living light
use foundation to even skin tone and perfect. find light-as-air formulas like VAPOUR atmosphere luminous foundation that gives skin a luminous glow and natural finish.
3. beautifully bronzed
a bit of bronzer = fresh-from-the-beach glamour. apply to the high points of your face where the sun touches: forehead, cheekbones, chin and nose. use VAPOUR solar translucent bronzer for a sun-kissed glow on face, shoulders, decolletage and legs.
4. multi-tasking
go natural looking or add a pop of color, but keep texture simple with easy-to-blend cream (VAPOUR aura multi-use blush for cheeks, eyes and lips) or soft mineral cheek colors.
5. soft set
set it and forget it. a light dusting of oil absorbing powder keeps makeup fresh. sarimotley favorite: secret set mineral buffing powder glides over foundation with a candlelit finish.

A Note For Your Nails
I think one of my new favorite ways to add a little pop color comes in the form of nail lacquer, most specifically that of butter LONDON.
Butter LONDON is a "3 free" lacquer, that means no formaldehyde, no toluene and no phthalates, they "believe in colour, not carcinogens." Said to become spring favorites are cheeky chops (lemony yellow), dosh (apple green with gold), scoundrel (purplish mauve), primrose hill picnic (punchy, tropical fuchsia) and teddy girl (retro, bubble gum pink) to name a few.

Brighten Winter's Dull...
February's dreary weather report may have you feeling a little less than energetic. Take time to treat your skin nicely, and invite a little color in to brighten your mood--the rest will follow.
Shape magazine (February 2011) had a great spread called “Winter Brights”. It talked about “taking a vacation from your neutral makeup and dark clothing” to encourage happy thoughts about the way you look and feel. Favorite hues like hot pinks, lemon yellows, luscious lilacs, creative corals and gracious greens colored each page with enthusiasm.
These shades are fun and exciting, and this is a great time to ease into spring. If it’s cold outside, but your lips are hot (pink), you’ll reek of happiness... Adding something new and different is a treat, especially when you can do it one piece at a time. Start wearing these colors now, and come Springtime you’ll be blooming.
The next step to brightening your day is finding your color. Shade selections from sarimotley are at the ready, so follow the links below.
- Pinks: Stript Lipstick Pencil in Clover, Stript Crushed Mineral Blush in Devine and Mineral Cheek Color in Pink Quartz
- Yellows: Mineral Eye Shadow in Canary Diamond and Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in Limonite (coming soon)
- Lilacs: Mineral Matte Eye shadow in Hyacinth, Stript Crushed Mineral Blush in Sugar (deep lilac)
- Corals: Mineral Matte Eye Shadow in Terra Peach, Mineral Eye Shadow in Peach Quartz, Stript Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in Jasmine, Mineral Blush in Coral Sun, Mineral Matte Blush in Adobe, Creme Blush in Just Blush (coming soon)
- Greens: Mineral Eye Shadow in Mojito, Stript Crushed Mineral Eye Shadow in Roxie

NEW Year; NEW Skincare!
I know I said this last January, but I am going to say it again (and will probably do the same in 2012)... Take inventory of your skincare! What's working great for you? You know, making a difference in the way you feel about your skin? Is your skin luminous and supple? The beginning of a New Year is a great time for resolution and change, and the perfect opportunity to review and renew how you care for your skin. Also, January and February are our coldest months (in Houston), so it's important to Winterize your skin too. This "quick list" below will help get on the right track, so here you go:
- Take extra steps to lock in moisture with glow-getter hyaluronic acid serum with antioxidants
- Use a gentle cleanser with soothing ingredients like cucumber
- Exfoliate every few days to keep your skin looking and feeling fresh
- Also, treat yourself weekly to a super-infusion of moisture and antioxidants to keep skin happy and healthy
For more information about these and other products, send an email to sari@sarimotley.com or visit our contact page.
Happy skin awaits!
