RAMY "Eyebrow Intervention"

Friday I attended the RAMY "Eyebrow Intervention Event" at the Duane Reade in Union Square; it was a truly pleasurable experience! I had the wonderful opportunity to Interview founder of RAMY Cosmetics, Ramy Gafni who was extremely humble and personable.

In my interview, I had a chance to learn more about Ramy, as well as his cosmetics line, that can be purchased at Duane Reade and on the RAMY website www.ramy.com . However, the most important topic of the day...Why is Eyebrow Intervention so important?!

According to Ramy a woman can enhance her appearnace by simply  getting her eyebrow's sculpted; this simple, yet intricate cosmetic procedure makes the face look cleaner and brings out the eyes.
Ramy, believes the most natural and sure way to PER-FECT the eyebrow is by tweezing. Ramy's "Beauty Therapy" staff is professionally trained by him, and his only method of eyebrow sculpting is  tweezing the brow. Ramy does not believe in waxing or threading.


I asked why does he only offer the one option and not the other two, he explained, "waxing can be very harmful to the skin and should never be done on sensitive areas of the face such as the eyebrow; from lip down is fine but never the eyebrow."

As for threading, he says "this form is better than waxing, but not everyone that threads should be performing this traditional art form; the only way to eliminate mishaps without "time contraint" is the tweezing method. The other forms may take out too much hair in which you have to wait for the hair to grow back in order to fix the damage." 

I'm definitely not a fan of waxing, but I do LOVE threading! However, I had a chance to see Ramy in action as one of the customer's  who recieved the "Eyebrow Intervetion" looked great after her consult.

If you didn't get a chance to attend the "Eyebrow Intervention Event", have no fear, the event has been so successful  they have no plans of ending it, so you can always look forward to next year's event! Until then, you can make an appointment at RAMYSPA conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan for a consultation

Beauty Rules

Image Matters!!!!

You’ve probably heard the saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”, very often! Well that statement is in fact very true! Personal Grooming is huge factor in looking and feeling good.  When you look good, you feel good and confidence eludes!

Take time to educate yourself on personal grooming (hair, makeup, nails etc.)for daily maintenance and upkeep.  Invest in Beauty books and magazines, Consult with your hairstylist and get tips from makeup artists. You always want to look and feel your best, after all you never know who’s paying attention and what opportunities could evolve from your Individual Style!

Invest in yourself after all you are your 1^st Priority!

DaLipstick Bandit Cosmetics

Checkout a young lady who is living proof you can start out with one agenda, and find  new purpose in another!

Felicia York, makeup artist and proud owner of DaLipstickBandit Cosmetics, had a set plan of going to school to become a lawyer; but as we all know when life hands us lemons, it’s up to us to make the lemonade! While in school and working a side job to make ends meet, Felicia came in contact with some Fierce and Glamorous Transexuals  who encouraged her to tap into her inner DIVA and pursue makeup!

Spending countless hours teaching herself makeup application, researching the industry and accepting free gigs in her early days, Felicia began to PER-FECT her craft and officially started the DaLipstickBandit Cosmetics in 2009. When asked how did she come up with the name, Felicia responds “joking around with one of my friends about my love of the graffiti culture around nyc, if I was to tag on buildings my name would be “The Lipstick Bandit”, something about it just resonated nicely so I stuck with it.”  The name and logo are certainly an artistic expression as is Felicia’s work; definitely makes a boost for branding!

I had the pleasure of meeting Felicia at the recent Boss Network Influencers Tour in NYC, and Felicia is certainly a Diva who knows how to Hustle Hard! Currently selling a line of all natural body butters, she will be adding Shampoo and Hair Masques next year.  There is also talk of working on a possible cosmetics line in the future.  Felicia is Beauty & Features Editor of Manik Magazine, an online mag for the curvy fashionista who wants to add a bit of Edge to her look! Felicia will be teaching a “Fundamentals” Makeup Class December 4^th in NYC for more details and to enroll checkout www.dlbcosmetics.eventbrite.com  Finally Felicia has an opportunity go to London for 2011 and working on a sponsorship to get there a stay for 3 months, for donations please check out http://funds.gofundme.com/12j6w  Go Felicia, a Maven Making Moves ‘By Any Means Necessary’ and this is only the beginning!  Felicia is on the move to doing a lot of great things in the years to come, so stay connected with Felicia and all her endeavors!
