Aroma Naturals~
Some of the best candles I have found, and believe me - I am a candle freak. I like natural oils vs. synthetic and Aroma Naturals are some of the cleanest. A bit more than the grocery store, sweet type but worth the difference. Price range $20 (for 6x6). Available here in our online store.

Aroma Vera~
Essential oils & infusers whose purity levels seem quite good. Available at Beauty Suppliers and Salons. Price range $15. Not available in our Custom Shopping Program. For more information call Aroma Vera at ~800-669-9514.

Art Anthony Creations~
Special Effects Artists and Students, this artist, originally from Chicago, has changed the industry standard for SPFX cuts and wounds, from using wax to using his new Silicone Flesh Putty.

Borghese~
Classic Italian themed line. Very rich - known for jewel tones. Newer campaigns reflect a decision to try for a lighter, younger appeal. Always different, they had Fango and wild skin products way before the newer lines. Price range $15-80. Available through our Custom Shopping Program. For more information call Borghese at ~212-572-3100.

Burt's Bees~
What a great concept - beeswax, royal bee jelly cremes and honey sweet smells. Love this line, especially the Carrot Nutritive Creme. It smells like you could eat it. All of the products with beeswax can be extended with water. Saves money and creates a lighter crème for daytime wear. Price range $1.50-15. Available here in our online store.

Brushes~

Custom Color Cosmetics~
Developed by Mr. William Tuttle. His career spanned over 50 years in Hollywood and he has probably done many of the TV shows you grew up with (not to mention films).

Price range $15. Appliance foundations available in matching tones. Available here in our online store.

Crème to Powder Foundation for African American Skin Tones. Harder to find, but mostly in drug stores. New lines have silvers and frosts that look great and don't go ashy. Price range $4.95-8.95. Available here in our online store.

Dermablend~
This department store brand camouflage cream use to be pretty easy to find at Penny's and Sears, even upper end department stores. Now it is on QVC and hard to find it elsewhere. The stores aren't stocked well in it and the sales people don't know the line well enough to help you. Most yellow tones are not easily available. Price range $8-30. Not available in our Custom Shopping Program.

Decleor~
I wish I could say I tried this line, but I can't afford it - $140 for their lotion. I wish I could just smell it but the jars are in hygenic pumps. Oh well! It has loads of sea botanicals and is available at Neiman's and I can find it at Bloomingdales in L.A. Price range $100. and up. Available through our Custom Shopping Program.

Dermacolor~
Camouflage-, paramedical- and heavy-concealor-use make up. Completely opaque. Available in hundreds of colors can be blended. Their setting powder doesn't change the tone. Price range $15-30. Available here in our online store.

Dinair-
The original airbrush make up. You've heard of the Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit paint. This is who did it. Price range $30-100. Available here in our online store.


E

Eva's Esthetic's~
This is not my line, but another Eva and she has been devoted to skin care for over half a century. And not that you would know by looking at her! Her skin is so beautiful and when I went their for training, all the women who had used this line looked amazing! It is the most effective product I have ever used. And my problematic skin was changed because of it. The Green Line is for problem, impure skin. Highest and purest concentration of Glycolic Acid on the market.

MAC~
Thank God MAC came around and turned the cosmetic industry on their heels. Since they changed the rules by opening the Boutiques first, getting their make up into the artists kits, and then getting bought into high end department stores, lots of great new start-ups have followed suite. Now we have more make up to choose from than ever before. Thanks you guys! Available at Saks Fifth Ave (John in the Beverly Hills store is my favorite salesperson for MAC), Nordstroms, some Macy's and of course their Industry Stores. Their web site is due up Spring '99 (cute cartoon figures---hmmmm) and you can get their stuff by phone. Price range $8-35. Available through our Custom Shopping Program. For more information call MAC at ~800-387-6707.
