anted: Refreshed and Dewy Skin for Spring!

Are two of the most coveted beauty looks for Spring. Let us share with you some wonderful products to help you achieve the Spring complexion you desire.

First let's talk about cleansing the skin. SULA NYC has an organic Olive Oil miracle soap that not only cleans but also gently exfoliates.

And when you're ready to exfoliate the skin all over your body, there is a textured glove included just for that purpose.

Organic and low foam, this miracle olive soap is an all-natural cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer for the face and body - in one. The natural texture and abundant moisture content of this soap makes it gentle enough to be used on a daily basis.Whether your skin needs to be lifted or cleansed, this soap is guaranteed to refresh and invigorate.

If at night you feel too sleepy to remove all your makeup before going to bed, these pure and simple make-up remover and cleansing wipes by RMS BEAUTY are essential. Infused with radiance boosting properties. These useanywhere wipes melt away makeup, cleanse, soften and moisturize your skin. Making them perfect for even lazy face washers.

One of the main ingredients, coconut oil is renown for its high concentration of lauric and caprylic acid, known for its natural antifungal and antibacterial properties. Making it the perfect healthy choice for a multi-use cleansing wipe.

After winter, looking and feeling rejuvenated can seem like a daunting task.

Here are two very important products created by the famous Dr.SEBAGH- EYE PRIMER LIFT the first is his Eye Primer which has a lightweight consistency, absorbing quickly to lift, tighten and firm the delicate eye area.

Hyaluronic Acid stimulates collagen production to instantly smooth the appearance of fine lines and promote cell regeneration. Be sure to use this primer around the eyes on clean skin only, before applying Dr.Sebagh's Natural Replenishing Cream. This intensive moisturizer replenishes weakened, mature and sun damaged skin will look and feel instantly revived. Apply morning and evening to the face and neck avoiding the delicate eye area.

As always, skincare products are important every season. But how you apply them is very important too. Here are some tools to help improve the way your skin looks and feels....

Let's start with the skin cream applicator by

JENU. This ultrasonic wand help's to increase the absorption of your favorite skin formulations to produce better results. When applied correctly, your skin cream should be six times more effective than if you put it on with just your fingers. Achieve the type of results you seek, in a way that’s safe and convenient. See the results from your skin care products sooner, because they are absorbed into your skin immediately!

My favorite part of having a facial at a professional salon, was that after my skin was nice and clean they would use a Violet Ray machine on my face to help seal in the creams and zap away any impurities before I was on my way. Now you can have the same effect at home with this next product.

JELLEN has an amazing device that produces a high frequency facial with gentle currents of low-level electricity infusing the skin with purifying and rejuvenating oxygen molecules.

impurities. These hand held portable high frequency facial systems offer an alternative to costly spa and salon treatments. All within the privacy and convenience of your home.

GARDENS

2 0 1 6

I think the soft pastel colors of Dior, embody the very essence of the Spring season.

It's an elegant collection of floral colors, j'adore. The Glowing Gardens collection reminds me of the wonderful English gardens in bloom.

This season, makeup is fresh and profoundly Dior ~ Darling.

GENTLE CLEANSING MILK. Upon application, this luscious rich milk, transforms into a gentle fluid that eliminates all traces of impurities and makeup, including from the eyes. This formula prevents dryness and will replenish the skin with moisture, for a genuine feeling of well-being. Your skin feels supple, infinitely softer and flawlessly cleansed of makeup.

GENTLE TONING LOTION leaves skin fresh, moisturized, smooth and even. Rich in hydrating molecules, it maintains skin comfort and the lotion rids the skin of any last traces of makeup remover. A perfect complement to the Milk cleanser.

DIORSKIN FOREVER is a foundation with lasting 16-hour perfection from morning to night.

A luminous matte finish, available in 16 shades. One just right for you. The best way to apply your foundation is use a brush made just for that purpose, flawless looking skin.

CAPTURE XP. This gentle serum instantly smoothes out the eye area. Massage into the skin, smoothing the brows and drawing them toward the forehead; then work back in the other direction, tapping lightly along the lower eyelid.

In just one hour, the transformation is spectacular and visible immediately. All due to the intelligent textures that complement the action of the HyaluStem Complex. In one month, the serum deploys all its youth-enhancing effectiveness, creating a flawless smooth finish around your eyes.

DIOR’S BACKSTAGE EYE PRIME. It’s smoothing action immediately prepares the eyelid for maximum color intensity. It prolongs your eye shadow’s staying power by keeping the color even and true all day long. The light creamy texture is smoothing, hydrating and a fixing agent for optimal hold. For best results apply with a medium size eye makeup brush.

THE 5 COULEURS eyeshadow compact features an easy, 5-step makeup lesson (base, two shadows, highlighter and liner) to bring out your eyes with satin finish colors. Use your favorites, but may I recommend #308 Khaki. Apply the soft green to the eyelid, with the peach color in the crease, then add the white shadow as a highlight just under the brow. For an eye catching touch use the dark silver gray as eyeliner. Keeping it close to your lash line by using a thin eyeliner brush.

VIBRANT COLOR Powder Blush, boasts a wide palette of shades, available in 4 color groupings (pink, red, coral and nude) and 3 finishes (iridescent, matte, satiny). A large fluffy blush brush is a must to achieve the correct touch of color to your makeup look.

I love the #553 "Cocktail Peach" Vibrant Color Blush.

ROUGE DIOR BAUME. This natural couture lip treatment (color #468 "Spring") is one of the freshest, most protective and easy-wearing lip color. No need to choose between lip care and makeup. In a single step, lips are revived with a healthy glow and wet dew-like shine, all in a protective nourishing lip treatment. At the heart of the formula, natural origin Crystal Oil forms a line-filling, revitalizing and protective film on your lips. While retaining a fine consistency with flawless hold.

Using a good lip brush makes for a smooth, full, plump, pout to your lips. Be camera ready for that Spring Selfie photo!

You can not achieve good makeup without good tools quote~ François Nars

I've been sharing the secret to a flawless finished look when applying your makeup at home.

Believe me when I tell you it's all about the tools you use. Those little brushes inside the eyeshadow and blush compacts, are only meant for a touch-up when you're out and about. You will find how much easier and how perfect the finished look will be when using the right brushes.

Some brush sets come in their own Roll-up Kit that you can keep in your makeup drawer. Or you can take them out and place all the brushes in a tall pretty glass to set on your vanity table, if that makes it more convenient.

Here are brush sets, that were designed by top makeup arts; the late great KEVYN AUCOIN the amazing BILLY BRASFIELD aka "BILLY B”.

And one of the greats FRANCOIS NARS. Kevyn Aucoin Beauty — The Essential Brush Collection.

Kevyn Aucoin Beauty brings you a collection of 14 handcrafted, professional quality brushes packaged in a chic faux-leather carrying case. The collection is designed to aid you in makeup application for a final look that's as stunning as you. "These brushes are made with the highest quality and will last virtually forever.”

"It's about self confidence. I've learned to listen and to hear what a woman needs and wants in order to feel beautiful. It's not about me, or me imposing. It's about her and what makes her feel her most beautiful." to quote Billy B. Billy created several brush kits for you to choose from. Or just go for the complete collection!

François Nars philosophy towards makeup was to use makeup to explore the depths and nuances of individual character, and as a top makeup artist, he was frustrated by how little selection there was for makeup artists.

So in 1994, released his own brand of makeup- NARS and it was a huge success with the pro's as well as the public and his line has become iconic.

NARS makeup brushes have a unique look and style, and there are amazing brushes for anything you can think of and some you never knew existed. They are not sold in kits, just individually. Stop by one of his several NARS stores in New York City as well as London and they will help you to find whatever you need.

François is a man of many talents - he has several fabulous books of his own photography, plus he shoots all the beauty campaigns for the NARS brand. I wonder what he is going to do next!

THE EXECUTIVE WOMAN INTERVIEW

Tova and Ernest Borgnine the night he was HONORED WITH 2010 SCREEN ACTORS GUILD “LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

TOVA BORGNINE (73) Beauty expert, business woman, salon-spa owner, author, beauty blogger, breast cancer survivor and founder of The Tova Corporation ~ Beverly Hills.

Born Tove Treasnaes in Oslo, Norway, she moved to America as a child with her Mother “Aase” a strong and very determined woman who taught her daughter to always believe in herself and that whatever she wanted to do, just remember “It Can Be Done.”

Tova’s work as a model/actress inspired her great interest in the cosmetics all the professional makeup artists were using. So much so, she opened her own little shop called “Tovas Touch” (spelling change due to being called “TOV-E” which is not the way her name is pronounced in Norwegian).

After a brief marriage and divorce from her first husband. Tova (spelling change due to being called “TOV-E” which is not the way her name is pronounced in Norwegian) bringing some New York style to the Jersey Shore.

After a brief marriage and divorce from her first husband. Tova followed along, to be near her Mother, and they moved to live in Las Vegas.

Tova soon set up her own beauty business located in two of the top hotels in Las Vegas. Selling the exclusive makeup line she had discovered in NY. All the Headliners and Showgirls were wearing her cosmetics and asking for her makeup tips and advice.

One day the wife of a top Vegas comedian, invited her on a blind date with the Academy Award winning actor Ernest Borgnine. It was “Love at first sight” and their love affair continued on thru 39 years of marriage, until Ernie’s passing in 2012.

In fact it was Ernie, that jokingly started off Tova’s skincare business. While being interviewed one day he made up a story that his wife had discovered this miracle creme called “The Facelift in a Jar” at the price of $60. This wasn’t exactly true.

Tova had acquired an Aztec family formula for a facial mask that was made from three roots of the Cactus.

Which Tova was giving away little jars, as gifts to her many celebrity friends.

To both their surprise, orders with checks started flooding Ernie’s fan mail. Tova quickly bought some jars which Ernie,Tova and anyone else they could recruit to help fill jars in their kitchen. They had to rush to send out product for these thousands of orders, or according to the U.S. Postal Laws - they would have to return all $56,000 dollars.

And that was the inception of “TOVA BEVERLY HILLS.” Having the “It Can Be Done” spirit that was encouraged by her Mother many years before.

Becoming “THE TOVA CORPORATION” in 1977.

Starting with just four skincare products all containing the amazing cactus extract.

From the very beginning Tova used creative ways to engage and reach consumers. With full page newspaper ads, extravagant catalogs, fragrance test strips (before that was the norm) plus her In-house Beauty Consultants using an 800 number, which Tova still has today.

And being the very first to sell fragrance, in 1991, on QVC the new home shopping television channel. Later adding the ecommerce website www.beautybytova. com in 1995.

Each progression provided a choice to her clientele as to how they wanted to experience TOVA products without losing their trust or the brand’s integrity.

Today, The Tova Corp. has grown into a multimilliondollar enterprise, with offices in Beverly Hills, New York and London. Tova has been sharing her passion for beauty with television viewers since 1991 and has earned the honor of being named QVC’s “First Lady of Beauty.”

Here are some of the secrets to her success....

Hello Tova - Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to let us interview you for our Spring issue of “Irresistible Beauty.”

Hello! Yes, and it is my pleasure to be here with you today.

QVC now have studios all over the world. I’ve just returned from Australia. And travel to London and Germany when I’m not at QVC USA. So that really keeps me on the go.

After being known as the Queen of direct mail, how did you feel about this new concept called Electronic Media and selling your products on television?

I am always open to new ideas and soon realized that QVC was like bringing a cosmetic counter right into my viewer’s home. Now after 27 years on air, I like to think of all my TOVA friends as one big family.

When you first started at QVC what was your skincare line like?

I started out with just 4 products. With my facial mask called the TOVA CACTINE MASK being the biggest seller. As time went on I added more and more skincare products all with my trademarked special ingredient “Cactine.”

Having been a model myself, I know many of the makeup artists swear by your CACTINE

MAKEUP REMOVER. Yes, I’ve worked with some top makeup artists that love it. But that came later, after I added a complete color makeup line, with my amazing TOVA LASH INTENSE Mascara that all my models on the show adored as well as my customers.

However the huge success was the creation of my own personal fragrance TOVA SIGNATURE, which I had to practically beg to be allowed to bring on air. QVC kept telling me that you can’t possibly sell a fragrance on television when the viewers can’t even smell it.

It Sold Out that night and after over 29 years, Ten million bottles have been sold and it’s still going strong. I just love a beautiful fragrance, it says so much about your personality and even your mood at that moment. Some of my other creations after TOVA were BODY MIND & SPIRIT and TOVA NIGHTS. I’ve now added many different scents throughout the years ~ I believe a lady can never have too many choices. (she laughs!)

I see your page on Facebook - Do you enjoy being up close and personal, as they say?

I love the ability to interact with our clientele and followers through Social Media. It is an amazing venue to hear how people are impacted by the products I have created, what they are looking for and how they use the products. We now have “TUESDAYS WITH TOVA” every week. Where we can actually chat and I can answer their questions personally. That’s always lot’s of fun! And you also can find me on TWITTER. You have always been very passionate about your clientele. How much do you think that helped with building the success of your beloved brand?

I believe the connection with our clientele is the most important piece of everything we do at TOVA. For that connection I am very grateful.

You know that all of the shows on QVC are produced live on camera and I receive many callers asking questions and most of all letting me know how much they love all my products. Especially my TOVA SIGNATURE eau de parfum.

This fragrance is very much a timeless classic. Any idea what it is that makes your TOVA Signature so popular?

TOVA SIGNATURE has a clean, fresh scent and is

very seductive, but never overwhelming. I created this as my signature fragrance and yet I have heard from so many women that feel this fragrance relates to them as their own signature as well. And remains their favorite as they continue to wear it for years and years.

I am so curious to know about your line of jewelry; many of the pieces are reproductions of statement jewels from your own collection. What are your favorites and why?

Our TOVA jewelry, which we produce in partnership with QVC, is a labor of love for me. My Great Aunt Tomina gifted me with a locket when I was only 16; she was my inspiration and shared her knowledge and expertise along with grand mysterious stories that enthralled me. I have always sought after individual pieces of the Art Deco period, that incorporated the four C’s : Craftsmanship, Clarity, Carat and Cut. The reproductions share a little bit of my story and journey and in turn will hopefully generate a story or experience for each woman who wears them.

In 1998, your fragrance Tova Nights won the highest award from The Fragrance Foundation: the Women’s Fragrance Star of the Year (electronic media).How did You feel when you first heard your name called as the winner of the “FIFI” Award as it is called?

I was stunned, overjoyed with my heart pounding as if I were in an incredible Dream. Walking down to the stage felt like an eternity, all my senses were exploding into a kaleidoscope of vivid colors.

Ascending onto the stage Kenny Rogers gave me a Big Hug and then the FIFI Award was presented to me by Faye Dunaway. I Thanked everyone from the bottom of my heart and floated for the rest of the evening. This is without doubt one of my most cherished memories.

Beauty by Tova is more than a cosmetics brand, it’s a lifestyle. How do you incorporate glamour into your everyday life?

I have been very blessed to have been exposed to every facet of elegance and glamour, starting with my Mother. She always dressed impeccably. It is not the amount of clothes you have, rather it is the way you coordinate and change the look with some great accessories.

I believe that elegance is a natural extension of who you are, because it is natural part of who I am. For instance, I love having tea in a beautiful cup from a collection of china, that I cherish. Everyone can incorporate some form of elegance into their lifestyle with a little thought.

Tova you revolutionized the way glamour could be packaged and sold directly to the consumer.

TOVA Beverly Hills is still going strong and you look lovelier than ever. Do you have any beauty secrets you can share with our readers who want to look their best and age gracefully?

First thank you for your compliment. I think of aging gracefully as an everyday strategy. I have help taking care of my figure. I am so fortunate to have a great Physical Trainer that works with me 3 times a week.

There are times I do not feel like doing the exercises, however it always makes me feel better and when the pattern is in place it is much easier. When I am traveling, I work simple things into my routine such as going for a brisk walk.

The mind can play tricks on our thinking, there is another line on my face, etc. and can have us dwell too much on that. For me, taking care of my skin has forever been part of my daily routine. Always take good care of your skin. It is the clarity and radiance of the skin that gives the appearance of health and a more youthful glow. The amount of good sleep we get a night is also vital. That, along with a healthy diet, humor and especially laughter! Which then creates an instant shift from the negative to the positive.

Your Spirit is probably the most important of all.

Make sure you have a continued appetite for life. It is amazing how prolific Spirit can be and as we see now in the medical community; it is often a key component in maintaining wellbeing or overcoming illness.

So let’s tell ourselves at least three times a day “How Wonderful We Are.” And as time goes by we have the ability to be inspired with beauty, grace and a passion for life.

What are you most passionate about now at this point in your life and career?

To have the opportunity to create and work with my company and that we have exciting new products and expansion this year, keeps me vital and energized. I am just as passionate about life as I ever have been. In other words, keeping busy with what I love is truly my Elixir.

Finally, do you really wear your TOVA Signature fragrance everyday?

TOVA Signature is without a doubt part of me most every day. I do wear her sisters and I love layering TOVA Signature with TOVA NIGHTS, the naughty sister. BODY MIND & SPIRIT is the fragrance I wear on the weekends. And I find AMBRE D’ORO, my homage

to Italy, very sensual. The list goes on and on.... very soon TOVA SUMMER is about to reclaim TOVA Signature, but with a twist of Summer Love.

Tova you truly are an Irresistible Beauty. Thank you!

What an honor and it’s been so nice talking with you!
