Dedicated to raising awareness, Georgia May Jagger, Coty’s Global Ambassador for the fight against blood cancer and the face of Rimmel London, lent her voice to the cause while showcasing her London style at the Big Love 10^th Annual Delete Blood Cancer Gala, celebrating the 25^th Anniversary of DKMS, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Always the London girl, Georgia made her own rules on the red carpet in a stunning Edward Sexton suit, continuing to set new trends with her exclusive Rimmel London look.

Georgia’s skin was smooth and mistake proof with help from Rimmel’s Fix & Perfect Pro Primer and Rimmel’s Match Perfection Foundation in Nude.

I received a sample of the Rimmel’s Match Perfection Foundation and I love it! It is not too heavy and is the perfect shade!

Thanks to Rimmel, Georgia’s eye look had endless possibilities from the start. The result was a unique yet refined black tie look. First,  Rimmel’s Exaggerate Lip Liner in Under My Spell was used to create a smokey maroon on the lid. Then, two coats of Rimmel’s SuperCurler 24 HR Mascara ensured a long lasting curl while her brows completed her eye look with the precision and easy application of Rimmel’s Brow This Way Sculpting Kit in Blonde.

Georgia’s lips were the focus using Rimmel’s The Only 1 Lipstick in Naughty Nude was no compromise with long-lasting color, comfort, moisture and wear.

Singer Rita Ora wowed on the red carpet at the 2016 Met Gala: Manus x Machina.

The Look: Metallic goddess

The Inspiration:   Celebrity makeup artist Kathy Jeung drew inspiration from Rita’s silver, feathered, custom Vera Wang gown, adding a metallic pop at the inner corners of the eyes and a warm, bronze to help shape them. Kathy complimented the singer’s show-stopping eyes with glowing, sculpted skin and a slightly iridescent lip.

How to Get the Look: 

SKIN

Kathy prepped Rita’s skin with the Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer, smoothing it onto her face to minimize pores and create a flawless canvas for foundation. She then blended Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer Concealer in Light underneath the eyes to erase any signs of dark circles. Next, Kathy applied Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation in Golden Honey with a foundation brush and a damp makeup sponge. To contour Rita’s cheeks, Kathy applied Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sun Dance to the hollow beneath the cheekbone and blended upwards and then applied the blush from Rimmel London Sculpting & Highlighting Kit by Kate Moss in Golden Sands to the apples of the cheeks.

LIPS 

Kathy lined Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner in Innocent and then applied Rimmel London Oh My Gloss! in Non Stop Glamour – a pale, shiny pink – for a slightly iridescent finish.

EYES & BROWS

Kathy filled in Rita’s brows with Rimmel London Brow This Way Sculpting Kit in Mid Brown and finished with Rimmel London Brow This Way Styling Gel in Medium Brown to keep them in place throughout the night.

Using the Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner in Queens of a Bronzed Age, Kathy blended the bronze shadow into the crease and lower lash line. She then applied Rimmel London ScandalEyes Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick in Witness White to the inside corners of Rita’s eyes, blending the pencil out with Rimmel London ScandalEyes Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick in Guilty Grey. As a final touch, Kathy applied Rimmel London SuperCurler 24H Mascara in Black to lengthen and curl Rita’s lashes.

I received samples to try out and my favorites are the Rimmel London SuperCurler 24H Mascara and the Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner! These have become two of my to-go-to beauty products!

Skin care is something I take rather seriously and Olay is a favorite of mine! Here are two of my new favorites this Spring!

The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream with SPF 30 is a must-have because it really leaves my skin soft and it also has SPF 30! I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed improvement in my skin texture. It is also supposed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles so that is always a good thing! I love how my skin feels smoother and more hydrated and daily SPF protection is important to me.

Retails for $25.99 – $33.99.

The Total Effects Eye Brightening CC Cream is another go-to beauty product for me! This one brightens the under-eye area with instant skin-perfecting coverage and correction. I love how lightweight this product is and that it provides sheer coverage. I just love how it feels on my skin! It really moisturizes around the eye area and I have noticed improvement in how my skin looks under my eyes.

Retails for $19.99 – $21.99.

Look for these products online and at local stores where Olay products are sold.

Are you looking for soap that is made with Food-grade coconut oil and has no alcohol, parabens, solfates or artificial colors? Splendor Santa Barbara Coconut Oil Soap Sampler is a real must-buy! I received 6 samples  ( 10 OZ) OF PURE COCONUT OIL SOAP ( Vanilla Oatmeal, Tea Tree, Charcoal and Rose Clay, Lemongrass Poppy Seed, Lavender Rosemary Leaf, and Lavender).

First off, these soaps smell great! The Aromatherapy scents are simple amazing! I love that they are handcrafted with Pure Essential Oils, Plants, Clays and Herbs. But, besides smelling great, they lather up really well and do not dry out my skin! My son who has somewhat sensitive skin was also able to use these soaps. They also effectively clean and I love that they are also made with No Phthalates and are not tested on animals. I have to say that the Lavender Rosemary Leaf is my favorite!

Are you looking for a product that will make your face seem healthier and seem firmer? If so, Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask just may be the product for you! I received a sample to review and I love how it makes my skin seem softer and smoother. It also has many natural ingredients which is something I really like.

More info on the ingredients:

CLEANSES & EXFOLIATES: Kaolin Clay works in this mask to effectively draw out impurities caused by the environment, leaving skin clean, clear, and smooth.

POWERFUL NATURAL INGREDIENTS: Hibiscus & Cranberry fibers, Spirulina and Astaxanthin have all been chosen exclusively for Valentia Detoxifying Clay Mask because they increase collagen production, anti-aging properties, reduce free radicals and restore skin elastic for a tighter and smoother appearance.

YOUNG & HEALTHY GLOW: CoQ10 is a key ingredient that reduces the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating collagen productions to reduce free radicals that can cause premature signs of aging. Smoothes out an uneven skin tone with astaxanthin, which is known to restore skin’s natural elasticity so your skin looks and feels healthy.

I like that this mask in natural, organic and the best thing is that my skin feels like I just spent a day at the spa!
