A few months ago I posted a few pictures of three beautiful ladies. At the time I was asked to keep the identiy of the photoshoot a secret. But as of November 22nd the three had launch their first product and introduce their first product. Introducing Aria Cosemtic Inc.
Their first product is a product called Dream Butter Lip Balm. Below is some information that was provided to me by the company including information on their Dream Butter Lip Balm product. And for an extra threat, click the image above for a short slide show of some candid shots and outtakes of our shoot.
ARIA
Aria Cosmetics is a 100% all-natural cosmetics line founded in the San Francisco Bay Area by three long-time friends: Linda, Olivia, and Kristie. They teamed up to create a new line of products and a brand identity to represent the eco-conscious mindset of the current era, while enhancing natural beauty from the inside out.
For Linda, it all started with a love for makeup and mixing up unique lip gloss concoctions in the kitchen. She noticed a dearth of all-natural cosmetics products on the market, and realized that makeup needed to not only make you look beautiful on the outside, but also enhance health from the inside. Since whatever is applied to the lips eventually gets licked off and ingested, it seemed unhealthy and polluting to use products that are full of chemicals and
preservatives. For Olivia, creating and starting up a new endeavor with health and the environment as a priority was inspiration to bring her artistic insight and strategic skills to the team. With Kristie, makeup aficionada and creative powerhouse, they founded Aria Cosmetics in the spring of 2007. The three joined forces, pooling their talents, setting out to create a line of completely natural products. From nourishing lip balms to super-hydrating lip glosses, all are
handcrafted with care, and void of any chemicals. Aria lip products are made with all-natural, plant-derived ingredients such as aloe, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, and even the sheer pigments in Aria products are 100% natural; pure infusions of minerals from the earth.Aria is for enhancing health and vitality in the purest ways possible, bringing out the beauty from within. Never having to sacrifice femininity and style, Aria remains true to you, and true to the environment. Beautiful and simple, healthy and natural.
Dream Butter Lip Balm
The Dream Butter Lip Balm is an all-natural treat for your lips! This moisturizing balm contains an emollient blend of 100% all-natural, plant-derived butters and oils. Its texture is smooth and creamy, naturally created by the indulgent infusion of organic plant butters and oils that it contains. Shine is minimal but lips appear satiny and dewy upon application of this balm. Not only is this lip treat indulgent, but it is also full of antioxidant powerhouses like cocoa
butter, provitamin B5, and vitamin E, that will provide protection against free radicals and harsh elements in the environment. This is a healthy beauty product that will love and care for the delicate skin of your lips. The Dream Butter Lip Balm comes in a clear formula, as well as an assortment of translucent tints for a naturally ethereal look.
I wish the three beauties the best of luck on their business as it has been a success since their launch date. The Party Flicker Team and I can’t wait to work with Aria in the future!
So tonight I attended a modeling show performance by Dance-Sing Star Studio. A local talent studio in which my nece attended a modeling class there. Of course I didn’t want to miss out in watching the acting, modeling, and speach skills she has learned. I have to say I was very impressed. I see my niece as more of a shy person, but tonight her talent really made her sparkle! In fact the studio did a very good job in preparing their students. Each student had an impressive shine and talent to them. I’ve worked with many models to say that for their young age, the students can definately make it in the professional world of modeling, acting, and singing!
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of shooting an engagement session for David and Christina. Talk about one of the funnest couples I ever gotten shoot with. It’s hard to keep concentrated when you’re having a lot of fun with your clients. We almost lost track of time as we started losing sunlight to get a sunset moment. Time flys when you’re having fun.
I love to see my clients personality show in their pictures. I had a lot of these shots, thanks DAVID hahaha=) I can’t wait to show them their final artwork. I’m sure they’ll enjoy it!
So after four long weeks of being sick, the worse part is over and I’m left with just a small wicked cough. Of course that didn’t stop me from tagging along with Party Flicker member Francis and a few friends on a photo shoot Francis was shooting a few days ago. It was a fun shoot. A local motorcycle club wanted their crews photo taken on their own turf. On the same weekend I met up with a buddy of mine; a future photography artists, met up for lunch so I can show her a few Photoshop techniques.
Although I spent most my time drinking lemon tea with honey, I thought it would be cool to show a before and after shot of some the processing I go through. My total time spend for the edit is seven minutes…
So I’m getting a little rusty on the speed of my photoshop editing. I didn’t have a Mac to work on. NOW taking donation for a new iMac with the biggest LCD screen possible haha=)
