Temporary bronzing – St. Tropez Wash Off Instant Glow Mousse

Mika — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:27:34 +0000

The best thing about the St. Tropez Instant Glow Mousse is that you can wake up as white as a ghost then 2 minutes later you can be a bronzed goddess ready to show off your legs in a cute pair of shorts. There is absolutely no commitment, so once you have applied the bronzing mousse (with your applicator mitt) you can come home at the end of the day and simply shower it off. Great for a night out on the town, or a vacation away.

Priced right and easy to use! Try it today by picking up your bottle at The Studio by MikaDoesMakeup – 1054 Hornby Street, in downtown Vancouver.

Beauty Blender makeup sponge – available at The Studio by MikaDoesMakeup

Mika — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:46:53 +0000

The Beauty Blender makeup sponge is the first of its kind, created by makeup artist Rea Ann with her 20+ years experience in the beauty industry. The Beauty Blender is different from other makeup sponges because it is washable, reusable, latex-free, non-allergenic and odor-free! Not to mention its distinctive bright pink colour and shape (looks like an egg), as well as the soft suede touch it has on the tips of your fingers. The Beauty Blender helps blend your makeup, face creams and concealers lightly and smoothly and leaves no visible lines or streaks like other makeup sponges… This is by far the BEST makeup sponge in the makeup world! Other makeup companies have tried to clone it, but haven’t been as successful as the Beauty Blender. Even celebrities love and use this adorable pink sponge.
