Luscious Lip Enhancers by Velana K

The marine based filling spheres are infused throughout the gloss, promoting collagen production. Shea butter also helps protect against dehydration and other climatic influences.

READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP?



Glammin Studios in Santa Ana is a professional make-up artist academy for aspiring make-up artists. And for the rest of us, it's a best-kept secret that offers private make-up lessons, glamorous make-up applications for special events, make-up artists on call and post surgical make-up specialties.

Located in a non-descript warehouse in the South Coast Metro area near South Coast Plaza, Glammin provides beauty workshops, fun private make-up parties, day and evening classes and even photography.

You can even call Glammin Studios if you’re attending a fantasy-themed charity event and want to look like Marilyn Monroe or a character from "Cats."

They also give private and group make-up applications lessons for women and teens who want the hottest looks in today's fashion. Topics covered at Glammin include ageless beauty, eye focus, hair styling, and tips for brides. My First Makeup Box is a workshop that gives teens advice on skin care (including acne) and proper make-up application.

Hard-to-find professional make-up lines are available at Glammin, including Kryolan Makeup, Color Science Mineral Makeup and Youngblood.
