Giorgio Armani Prive Spring/Summer 2012 Makeup Look

The Giorgio Armani Privé Spring/Summer 2012 runway show that took place this past January in Paris reminds us that this spring/summer season is all about beautiful skin and soft pretty shades. 

Face:

The models were prepped with Armani's Regenessence High Lift cream followed by their Fluid Master Primer which is an invisible, transparent skin canvas that smoothes and unifies the skin. Next, makeup artist Linda Cantello uses a new (not in stores till October) product called Maestro, the first thin film color concentrate, ten times thinner than foundation to keep the skin looking flawless, fresh & matte.

Eyes:

To mirror the collection on the runway, she applies a blend of the light green Eyeshadow from the Spring 2012 make up palette #1 then the Gloss d’Armani #100 is applied on the eyes for a shiny veil of colour. To finish off the eyes, the Eyes To Kill Lash Stretching mascara is added just on the upper lashes.

Lips:

The lips are kept soft and fresh and are enhanced with a blend of 2 Gloss d’Armani shades, beige #105 and light pink #508, then dusted with a gold from the Spring 2012 make up palette #1 for a pretty reflection of light.

So there you have it ladies, Armani shows that by keeping it fresh, soft & pretty you will be right on track for the upcoming season ;)

Homemade Granola Bars - Fast, Easy & Healthy!

Earlier I saw a post on Facebook from my old personal trainer extraordinaire Shandel about some yummy homemade granola bars she had made and I wanted to test them out for myself. I changed a few things and came up with my own version since the store bought ones tend to have a lot of preservatives in them.

Easy Homemade Granola Bars Done My Way!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds

3/4 cup unsalted raw sunflower seeds

1 cup Quaker quick oats

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1/2 cup raisins (or cranberry)

1 cup All Bran cereal

1 cup white honey

1 cup all natural peanut butter

2tbsp Agave Nectar

Directions:

In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients together. In a sauce pan add honey & peanut butter together on LOW heat until melted. Remove from heat, fold in dry ingredients and Agave Nectar, mix well until everything is coated.

Spread mixture over pan or baking sheet lined in parchment paper making sure to keep it packed tight and spread even. Place in fridge for 1-2 hours to cool. Once cool cut into bars and enjoy!

Store cut bars in air tight container.

(before I placed it into the fridge)

These were so easy to make and cost pennies! I got most ingredients at Bulk Barn and only bought what I needed. This recipe yielded about 12 (store brand sized bars) and 18-20 (just enough for a snack size bars) which is what I prefer. 

They are super healthy, full of fibre and will keep you full for hours!

Enjoy!
