Light it UP!!!! Tips to Make Your Selfie & Social Media Pics the BOMB.COM!!

Napa LipSense , best social media lighting, best selfie lighting — Napa – The perfect everyday mauve with a shimmer finish.

It’s a Selfie World Out There

Selfie. Selfie. Selfie. So you see all these selfies on Instagram and Facebook that look AMAZING! If you are like me – you think – man, my pictures NEVER look like that. They MUST be a photographer – and a FEW actually are. But MOST – are using amazing lighting. Lighting REALLY is everything when it comes to pictures. Natural light is IDEAL when taking pictures – but soooo many times we are indoors – or it isn’t the right time of day. So for the best selfie lighting, let me show you a few easy tools to make YOUR pictures and selfies just as INCREDIBLE. Whether you are taking them for fun, for friends or just to document your remarkable life . . . here you go!

Tips to MAKE your Selfie & Social Media pics THEBOMB.COM!!

Best Selfie Lighting?

#1 – For your EVERY DAY needs: Get this Clip on Ring Light (Amazon Affiliate Link) – The amount of light this brings to your face in ANY light is awesome!! You’ll be floored at the difference a little light can make. (picture with/without a clip on ring light) There are many options out there. They all use batteries. This one takes AAA. I keep it in my purse and pull it out when the lighting where I want to take a pic is less than stellar. This way – you can always get a selfie or a picture in – no matter your location or the time of day!!

#1 is Perfect for Moms & Tween/Teens, Selfie Connoisseurs, and anyone taking pics on the go.

#2 – To REALLY AMP up your makeup game – – acquire a Lighted Makeup Mirror – Use this to put on your makeup for INCREDIBLE light. Most often we do our makeup in our bathrooms which are KNOWN for their awful lighting. It’s always best to apply your makeup in natural lighting, if possible. Which we typically don’t do – so imagine how much better you’d look when you apply your makeup in good lighting! This mirror travels well – the bottom part of the stand even comes off so it can be flat in your luggage. Have this lighted mirror ON in front of you (so the light is reflected in your face) while you take a picture to UP your selfie game. Go HERE (Amazon Affiliate Link) to purchase this AMAZING lighted mirror!! It seriously ROCKS!!

#2 is Perfect for Moms, Makeup Junkies, those who like to travel, Makeup Artists, and EVERY woman – imagine the fun of having your own “vanity” wherever you go!!

Best Social Media Lighting?

#3 –Neewer 18″ Light (Amazon Affiliate Link) – – Or if you want to take it to the next level . . . this is what I use for my youtube videos, selfie pics and FB and Insta LIVE’S. This equipment is the bomb.com!! It has a piece that holds your smartphone while you shoot video or take pictures. The light can be dimmed or turned all the way on – so your videos look AMAZING. When you are dealing with makeup like I do – showing the TRUE color is important and since color is soooo affected by light – light is unbelievably important. The stand moves up and down so that you get the perfect angle for whatever you are doing. THIS will change your world!! Trust me!!!!

#3 is Perfect for You Tubers, Taking great pics of products/people, Direct Sales, LIVE videos, etc.

**NOW if you fall into category #3 – – you should totally grab THIS item as well. Having a background behind you when doing videos or going live – even in pictures is so much more professional looking than seeing your messy house or room behind you. Backgrounds can easily be switched out – but often “your tribe” begins to associate your background with YOU. Here are a few examples of ones you could use: Rose Gold Glitter, White Wood,or even Four Blue Doors. Just a few of my favorites! Or grab a few and switch it up!!

The Benefits of Becoming a SeneGence Makeup Artist

Do you LOVE makeup?

Do you LOVE to make others feel/look beautiful? THIS might be the next best step for you!!

Become a SeneBlends Certified Makeup Artist (MUA) through SeneGence, International.

SeneGence, International allows you to go thru a fairly rigorous training program that then certifies you to be one of their official SeneBlends Makeup Artists. I did this and was awarded my MUA title in April 2017. They even gifted us an MUA belt that holds LOTS of brushes. It is helpful to know application techniques and how to apply makeup differently to different faces in order to enhance their beauty. THAT is the whole purpose of makeup to begin with – to enhance what you already have. The more you know – the more you can share with your friends/family & customers!!

SeneGence has a beautiful manual called the SeneBlends Beauty Guide – it is updated periodically to contain classic and on-trend ideas. It also includes amazing tips re: eye size, placement and how to determine what type of skin you have. (Dry, Normal to Dry, Normal to Oily or Oily to Acne) SeneGence products were created to blend and layer together – so every woman is able to create CUSTOM colors she loves!!

TIP: One of my favorite blends is to mix Mulberry ShadowSense with just a little bit of Onyx ShadowSense – it makes THE most beautiful plum color.

Makeup Artist Benefits:

As a SeneBlends Makeup Artist you can be invited by SeneGence, International to teach LIVE and in-person training courses to a small group or the entire sales force and even to participate in makeup for company photo shoots. Acquiring this title also gives you credibility with your customers. Customers LOVE feeling like they are learning tips and tricks to make makeup application easier, faster or better!! So, share your tips with them! This gives you a reason to PLAY with makeup! Experiment and find combinations that YOU love – then share your knowledge with others.

TIP: I LOVE to mix my foundation 1:1 with Pearlizer. It gives your face a soft glow that is so trendy right now. I prefer application with a round Kabuki brush. It is my favorite!!! HERE is a link to my favorite one on Amazon!!

Giving women makeovers is empowering! Esp. when they realize that their makeup is there to stay ALL day and won’t be gone in 1/2 an hour. Try it – their reaction to our makeup is PRICELESS!! Want to see women REALLY freak out? Let them also try the skincare! See THIS article for more information!

Ready to get started? $55 (plus tax) to sign up as a distributor HERE!! Follow the guidelines listed in your distributor back office. For even MORE information contact me HERE. I can’t wait to learn from YOU as a Makeup Artist!

Love the skin YOU’re in . . . SenePlex Complex

When I first found SeneGence, I was thoroughly enamored with LipSense. My skin had been SUPER dry and flaky, even itchy at times (and I was using expensive products). I was frustrated and had switched up my makeup and skin care multiple times trying to get rid of the dryness. The crazy part? I have OILY skin. So, the DRY thing was stumping me. I actually had earned SeneGence’s skincare line for FREE (interested? go check out THIS post). However, I had just put it under my counter – totally unaware of the gold mine I had been given.

Let’s Talk “What is Seneplex Complex”:

Most importantly, it’s a proprietary ingredient – meaning ONLY SeneGence has it. You may ask, “Is SeneGence good for your skin?” Basically, it is a kinetic enzyme (energy producing) that rushes skin cells to the surface 23% faster and that’s amazing!!! So, instead of getting a NEW layer of skin every 27 days – you’ll average a NEW layer every 21 days. As you can imagine – the difference you’ll see in your skin is REMARKABLE!! Within just 8 weeks of using our skincare, you’ll be blown away at the changes you see!!! 100% guaranteed – if you aren’t happy with your results – money back! But as with anything else – our products are made to work together – I suggest starting with the Basic Skincare System which includes: 3in1 Cleanser, Daytime Moisturizer, Evening Moisturizer and Eye Creme.

This short 2 minute video explains quickly and effectively what SenePlex is and what it does.

SenePlex Complex is a proprietary ingredient in ALL of our skincare and cream products. There are actually only 7 products we carry that DON’T have it in it.

They are:

LashSense (mascara)
UnderSense (mascara primer)
LinerSense (lip liner)
EyeSense (eye liner)
LipSense
Gloss
Oops Remover.

This means that if you are exclusively using our products – you’ll get SenePlex Complex thru our skincare, makeup products and body care products like bodywash, lotion and body scrub. Your skin can feel “baby bottom” soft ALL over your body!

Is SeneGence good for your skin?

Is Skincare important?

The short answer – YES!!!!! I’d put more exclamation points – but you get the idea. Take care of your skin – it is your body’s largest organ. YIKES!! Did you see that quote? Who wants to age your skin faster – 7 times!! Wash your face!!! It really will make a huge difference.

Here are my pics from the first few months. A year and a half later, I can look back and giggle that I had no idea what a gold mine I had been given! I can’t wait until YOU can say the same. Don’t delay – get started today. Your skin will thank you!!!

Take Back Control: 10 Reasons Every Parent will LOVE Having Circle with Disney.

Circle App with Disney

As parents – we have a love-hate relationship with technology. Ultimately it gives our kids (and us) access to the good, the bad and the ugly. Also – our kids are WAY more in love with technology than we are – – which makes it hard to keep up on which sites they are visiting and how much time they are actually spending online – BUT – there is a solution that will help you reign it in – however agressively you want to in your home AND it won’t break the bank. The answer? Circle with Disney via the Circle app. Here are 10 reasons EVERY parent will LOVE having Circle with Disney in their home.

Individual Profiles – when you add your family members – you can add specific devices to each individual. You can also attach Filters to each individual based on their age. There is also an ability to customize this.
Time Limits – you can set an overall time limit per individual per day. Each person in the home has their own “profile” to which their devices are added. Each profile has the ability to set a time limit. So if you allow your kids 1 hour online each day – it counts it for you – and when their time is up – they aren’t able to access the internet any longer. Circle turns it off for you!
Rewards – – you can give your kids extra time for completing extra chores, getting homework done, practicing musical instruments or whatever suits your fancy. This is a one time reward and can be added to their overall time limit OR can give them a late bedtime as a reward.
Pause the internet – – at any point in time – you can just pause the internet. You can choose to pause one person’s internet – or the entire house. Comes in handy when you have a child (or a spouse) that’s arguing with you. Just sayin!! But it seriously the touch of a button. It’s like MAGIC!!
Chores – -There are 3 different chore apps that connect to Circle. One for younger kids (chore monster), one for older(Landra) and then Mothership which is the one parents use to set it all up. Purpose is – you can use the completion of their chores as incentive to reward them with extra internet time or with whatever works for them. You have the ability to create custom rewards for each child.
Bedtime – SERIOUS – YOU get to set up a time for the internet to be off. It just stops working! Can customize for individual or whole house. It makes bedtime SOOOOO much sweeter!!
App Time Limits – In addition to the overall time limit – you can micromanage even more – by saying exactly how much of that overall time can be spent on specific apps. For example 20 minutes on YouTube, 10 on musically, etc. You can also put 0 and then they can’t frequent the app at all. GENIUS.
WIRELESS – Pairs wirelessly to every device that enters your home – even gives YOU updates if you aren’t at home. EX – Brandon’s iphone (your sons friend) has just joined your network. When you get this update and know that your kids aren’t supposed to be home for another hour – you can assume they are ditching school and take action. LOL. You’ll get the update on your phone’s app no matter where you are.
Offtimes – You can schedule OFFtimes or breaks when the internet isn’t accessible – ex – after school to get homework done. Scheduled family time – NO internet!! Or my favorite – morning break – the computer doesn’t come on until 8:30am – AFTER they have left for school. Keeps them focused and getting ready in the morning.
Daily Schedule – – You can have a different schedule set up for each day. So when kids are at Piano – no offtime is set right after school – instead it’s set up AFTER they get home from piano. Makes it easy as a parent and you don’t have to do as much micro-managing! Here is my favorite YouTube review about this product. Tells you how to use and set up. AND it’s one of the shortest ones out there!

If you are like me – you are thinking this MUST cost a fortune! Simply because what it delivers is PRICELESS!! However, it is available thru Amazon for a mere $99.00. One time fee. FOR REALS!! Take control of your home, your family, your time again. You won’t regret it!! Circle with Disney – Parental Controls and Filters for your Family’s Connected Devices

Why do I Need a Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer?

A little bit of history

BB cream was introduced in 2011. Short for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, it’s a tinted moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF which delivers anti-aging ingredients while hydrating the skin. It was initially developed by a German dermatologist who wanted one cream to protect the skin and provide coverage. Women LOVED this cream that took the place of multiple products and gave them some coverage all at the same time. Essentially like a lighter foundation with a few skin care benefits thrown in. Overall complaints were that it wasn’t as moisturizing as they would have liked AND it was thick and heavy.

When CC cream was introduced – women naturally jumped on board – the CC stands for color correcting which addresses redness, ruddiness of the skin. It is much lighter than the BB cream, a more natural coverage with benefits of sun protection thrown in.

SeneGence Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer

SeneGence, took both of these concepts – and created what we lovingly refer to as CCTM (color correcting tinted moisturizer). It is a tinted moisturizer with a mechanical shield (SPF 15 equivalent), so lightweight – I often forget I have anything on, and full on color correcting – it actually has some of our green concealer in it which is AMAZING at getting out any redness or ruddiness in skin. Not to mention the skin care benefits – have you HEARD about SenePlex complex? READ MORE.

Our CCTM is so moisturizing, I have many customers that use it as their daily mosturizer! Foundation can be applied on top of it – but it’s not a necessity. I have multiple customers who wear CCTM all by itself every day. (I do it myself mult. times each week!) Once you start using our skincare – you’ll see . . . how amazing the SenePlex Complex is. Just look at those stats!!

CCTM comes in 3 shades: Light and Medium and Deep. The craziest thing is that it totally adapts to your pH. I am as white as they come – I got teased growing up that I was Casper the ghost and my foundation color is almost always porcelain. (I know, TMI!) However, I can wear the medium OR the light. They both fully adapt to my skin and you wouldn’t even know they were there – totally natural. When I was working in Chicago during Chicago Fashion Week last year – many of my models were African American and the medium would adapt to their skin just fine. It really is incredible stuff.

My advice – if you are waffling between which one to start with – GET THE MEDIUM!! It is a perfect addition for someone who doesn’t typically wear makeup AND for someone who LOVES makeup and uses it everyday. Protects your skin AND does all those amazing things listed in the picture. AWESOME!!

SeneGence Tinted Moisturizer Before and After

In short – CCTM (SeneGence’s CC cream) is:

color correcting tinted moisturizer
reduces redness and ruddiness in skin
has sun protection (equivalent to SPF15)
so lightweight you’ll forget you have anything on.
comes in two colors: light and medium
PERFECT starter makeup for Teens
for those who rarely wear makeup
for those who KNOW and LOVE makeup
can be ordered HERE

As always, all our products are 100% guaranteed – so if ever you get anything that you don’t love – please contact me HERE and let me know!
