Posted by admin

Cayman gals, the hot weather is coming! If you need a little boost, stop into Le Visage, the best place I know of to get gorgeous, fast! (Le Visage has the best selection in skincare and cosmetics that I’ve seen-anywhere! I even import Le Visage products back to my US family when I visit; their exclusive products are amazing.) I love the fact that owner Sharron Eyers constantly brings in new products to keep her clients looking their best.

Newly arrived at Le Visage in Camana Bay - Bliss Skincare! Established in 1996, Bliss has exploded into the world’s most famous spa with 22 locations around the globe. From Hollywood to Hong Kong, Boston to Barcelona and Dallas to Doha, Bliss continues to bring the latest and most effective spa treatments and products, challenging convention along the way and infusing everything with the signature Bliss touch – all to make you look and feel absolutely ‘spa’-tacular. Le Visage is offering a wide range of Bliss pro-powered products from the wrinkle-reducing The Youth As We Know It facial products and radiance-enhancing Triple Oxygen line to the Bliss cellulite-targeting Fatgirlslim body treatments. They have a wide range of fabulous choices that let you recreate the Bliss Spa treatments at home and reap the same spa-strength benefits.

The staff pick is: The Bliss triple oxygen instant energizing eye mask…”with 3 forms of glow-inducing oxygenation, antioxidant vitamin C and puff-pummeling cucumber extract, this fabulous eye mask is sure to help you feel recharged and look refreshed – even after a late night out.”

Stop into Le Visage soon and get “Blissed” out!

If you are like me, you will stop in to buy gifts, and end up picking up stocking stuffers, as well as that perfect Little Black Dress for the office Holiday party. In addition to many hot LBDs (think short with a little bling) they also have Little Red Dresses, and many other perfect dresses for the holiday party circuit. They also have the sexiest jeans: LA Idol. The  jeans only look super expensive: they fit perfectly, starting at only CI $69.00! Pair them with heels, a Funky Monkey flowy top, and some of their super cute and very unusual accessories. You’ll be all set for the Monday-Thursday holiday parties that require sexy-but-casual attire. Needless to say, the trademark amazing swimsuits are here: for boating, house parties, and beach parties, where a truly beautiful suit is necessary. (With Facebook, don’t get caught with a tired old bikini if you live or relax in Cayman! Great looking beachwear should be a standard part of every Caribbean girl’s wardrobe.)

LA Idol Jeans

Gents: Funky Monkey has great looking shirts for the holiday season, but get there soon: they are selling like hotcakes. Pick yours up now! The really big fashion news for men is SAXX Underwear Co.

The Cayman Conspiracy

The Cayman Conspiracy

Join Local Author David Shibli tonight, Friday August 19th, at 7:00PM, at Books and Books, for the launch of his debut novel. The Cayman Conspiracy, a thrilling adventure that links the high stakes world of casino gambling with the laid-back Cayman Islands.

This event is free to the public and will include a book discussion and signing.

The book is set in 1989 and Joe LeRice, a British expat, has it all: the stunning wife, a successful business, and a peaceful life in the idyllic Cayman Islands. As he enjoys the fruits of his labor, he is troubled to learn that the world of casino gambling has cast a shadow on the country he now calls home. A consortium from Las Vegas visits Grand Cayman, where gambling is illegal, and Joe observes as the wheels of politics, lubricated by lust and cash, threaten to turn this tranquil place into yet another gambling Mecca.

After witnessing the suicide attempt of a close family member who is involved in negotiations with the consortium, Joe suspects that they are ruthlessly determined to have their way at any cost. He heads to Vegas in a desperate attempt to hamper their effort and on the way meets young Bobby, a streetwise hooker whos toughness becomes invaluable to Joe’s mission as he comes face to face with demons that almost destroyed him as a young man.

The author, David Shibli, was born in Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic group of Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, to a doctor and a nurse, in 1965. He has lived a fascinating life that has included attending boarding school in the UK, earning an Engineering degree with first class honours at the University of Bradford, and he has enjoyed a long and succesful career in IT. However, David’s true passion has always been writing.

Stila Lip Gloss
Stila Lip Gloss

 

If you are a fan of Stila cosmetics, here is good news: there is an exclusive retailer right here in Cayman carrying this fab brand! Le Visage, in Camana Bay, is now your local resource for all things Stila. You might already be a rabid Stila fan (especially if you can’t go anywhere without their famous lip gloss) but if you haven’t tried this hard working, eco-friendly line of cosmetics, get over to Le Visage and test them out.

Stila is an innovative cosmetics brand from California created in 1994, with a modern, sophisticated approach to beauty. Their fresh, multi-tasking formulas & fashion forward colors have placed them on the A list for celebs and beauty editors around the world.

The owner of Le Visage, Sharron Eyers, loves the lip gloss and the lip plumping glazes, but her #1 favorite is the One Step Correct. This revolutionary product contains three color correcting brighteners:

Green tones:to neutralize redness and conceal blemishes,

Lavender tones: to counteract sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look

Peach tones: to brighten, illuminate and diminish the look of sun spots

The weightless, creamy formula blends imperceptibly into skin and won’t clog pores or settle into fine lines. All anyone will see is flawless skin!

If you need help learning how to apply make-up, the experts at Le Visage have an array of affordable and fun services to help you look your best. Choose from “Girls Night Out” (premium make up artistry session), “For Your Eyes Only” (learn how to do your eyes-once and for all!), “Wink Wink” (premium false eyelashes), “Tying The Knot” (for brides), “Teach Me” (the basics), “Art Class” (a private group lesson for 3 girls-how fun!)
