One can find inspiration just about any where but today, we made a special trip.
Its been raining in Paris all week, so my family and I decided to travel to the North this morning and visit Claude Monet's home and Garden. Upon our arrival the sun finally came out and as we suspected we were inspired endlessly-the colors of the inspire me to create a lip and cheek color :)
I had the pleasure of working with Makeup Artist Sammy Thursday evening (amazing) now If only I could clone him!

Nina G. offers her customized age-defying facial treatments --- using her own unbelievable method of healing by layering micro-current electrotherapy and product penetration…. She also adds Reiki and energy medicine in every session as well as extractions, exfoliation and an organic French clay masque.
With a low level of electricity, micro-current impulses trigger chemical reactions at a cellular level, enhancing collagen and elastin production as well as rejuvenating the muscles of the face for plumping, lifting and firming.
Totally relaxing and renewing, her treatments are most importantly, a healing fitness for your face - like going to the gym, and doing yoga, only she does the work and you get pampered.
Individual appts are always great but for best age-defying results - once or twice a week for 10 sessions, kick starts the desired outcome.
Fyi: these treatments combine well with fillers or botox and are amazing for healing up from surgery – great results with acne, congested skin, rosacea, sun spots, scar reduction, wrinkles and sagging --- good for clients ages 13-80 yrs old. My favorite is that Nina makes house calls which I highly recommend-it costs more, but well worth it!
I'm still obsessed with Shu Uemura's Cleansing oil, AI is my all time favorite!

I'm always searching to create something Authentic for Madonna and since Madonna's eyes are like jewels, I decided to create an eye shadow made from real Rose Gold.
My beauty blog has been inundated with requests on what I had used on Madonna's eyes at the Superbowl and although I'm unable to provide my secret formula, I couldn't have made the eye Shadow without my favorite Jeweler/Artist Douglas Elliot at Marisa Perry Jewelers in Soho New York City for making the most beautiful Rose Gold dust possible. Thank you Douglas for collaborating with me and making the perfect Rose Gold dust possible...you're a genius! Gina Brooke xxx
For Great looking skin I highly recommend "Pressed Juicery" located at 8714 Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles.
It's by far the most amazing Juices I had ever had.
As the end of the year approaches, I reflect upon my own personal experience of the joy and happiness and cycle of a new life, as well as experiencing the pain and suffering of losing a loved one. All of which impels me towards a deeper understanding of life.

Wishing each and every one of you a healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year! http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html#.Tv7Hc1S_sus.mailto

"The concept of creating beauty is inseparable from that of creating art. It is from artistic conviction that beauty emerges."
