Posted on November 8, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

We are excited to announce that Merlot’s Holiday 2013 Gift Set has been curated by renowned commercial makeup artist Lisa Johnson. Lisa regularly styles campaigns for companies like Apple and celebrities like country star Mindy McCready and The Voice’s Emily Earle.

The three-piece gift set includes Merlot Exfoliating Scrub, Hydrating Toner, and 100% Pure Grape Seed Oil. These products aim to improve the overall look and feel of skin, delivering the utmost care during the harsh winter months.

These three anti-aging products are designed to be both powerful and gentle. Johnson highly recommends the 100% Pure Grape Seed Oil for those with dry winter skin. “I love that the oil can be used everywhere: face, body, nails, and hair ends,” Johnson says.

Merlot Holiday 2013 Gift Set features:

Merlot Exfoliating Scrub: an incredibly gentle, fragrance-free scrub that smoothes skin and cleans pores with micro beads
Hydrating Toner: freshens and firms skin instantly with an alcohol-free formula
100% Pure Grape Seed Oil: cosmetic grade oil that helps heal scars and deeply hydrates skin

In addition to the three products, the gift set will include a durable and sleek purple nylon tote, perfect for taking along on holiday travels.

Beginning November 22, these gift sets will be available for a very limited time, and only at merlotskincare.com. Sets will be $25.00, with free holiday shipping (on orders over $25). Free gift-wrapping will also be available on the site, for purchases of four products or more.

My Daily Beauty Routine: Erica Brown, Professional Model

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

I would describe my day to day to look as mostly a natural look. I don’t wear makeup every single day because I teach dance and also do a lot of yoga. As a professional model, when my agent sends me out I do wear make up, but even then I try for a clean and natural look. Thanks to my years of using Merlot products, I don’t usually have to hide anything on my skin. I am generally just going for a more polished, yet natural look with my makeup.

I wash my face at night with (1) Merlot Grape Seed Face Wash. I use (2) Mary Kay eye makeup remover to remove any eye liner or stubborn make up. I use my (3) Merlot Toner with cotton balls. My skin feels extra fresh and it seems to help minimize my pores. Then I use my (4) Merlot Grape Seed SPF Moisturizer. It’s really rich when it first goes on and then it feels light once I have applied it. My skin feels soothed and nourished. Before using Merlot products, I used to experience eczema flare-ups. But the Merlot products are so gentle I no longer struggle with eczema on my face.

My go-to product for eyes is Makeup Forever. Their eyeshadows are so beautiful and they last! The (5) golden stardust eyeshadow is my favorite. I have a couple of (6) Lancome lipsticks and I love them. My favorite color is called “Truly.” I also use a (7) Dior lip gloss called “Dior addict lip polish 003.” It feels SO good on my lips. It adds a little color and shine!

I do wear concealer. I use (8) Dermablend. I think it makes me look so much more awake. I naturally have dark circles under my eyes, but Dermablend covers them up so well for the ENTIRE day!

I drink a lot of water as well. Drinking a glass of warm water with lemon every morning is great for weight control and for your skin. I also use banana peels to whiten my teeth. I think it makes a difference!

Getting ready for the day makes me feel great and ready to go out and work toward my goals. Having healthy looking skin is a must in my industry. Using Merlot for so many years has given me the confidence to face each day with a positive attitude.

Build A Healthy You – For The Sake Of Your Skin

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Nicole Beckley

There are many reasons to want to improve your diet, quit smoking, and wear sunscreen. In addition to helping live a longer, healthier life, developing these healthy habits can have a big impact on your skin.

In the July/August issue of GCI (Global Cosmetic Industry) Magazine, Katerina Steventon explains that extrinsic aging – exposure to outside elements such as UV rays and smoking – strongly contributes to “deep and coarse wrinkles, mottled hyperpigmentation and reduced skin elasticity.” Smoking, in particular, reduces skin’s elastic fibers, making facial wrinkles appear deeper. The long-term harmful effects of smoking are well documented, and in the short-term, the habit is actively damaging your skin as well.

Steventon also points out that 80% of the effects of aging seen on facial skin, is due to sun exposure, over the course of one’s lifetime. Wearing sunscreen or a lotion with UV protection is the easiest way to fight against harmful UV rays.

Want to ward off wrinkles? Ditch the cigarettes and don’t forget the SPF!

Steventon also suggests utilizing antioxidants that offer environmental protection. Merlot’s Anti-Wrinkle Cream, with its elasticity-improving formula, 11 amino acids, and grape seed antioxidants, might just be the way to start.
