Roxanne Saffaie is a professional makeup artist who has worked with leading photographers and stylists on shows, ad campaigns, N.Y. & L.A. fashion week and editorial work in magazines. Known in the industry as Roxy she is also the beauty editor of Woman’s Surf & Style magazine. Not only has Roxy mastered all things beauty, she has skin care covered as well. Roxy’s multidimensional talent has landed her on “The List” in L.A Confidential magazine with the likes of George Clooney and Dolly Parton. Roxy’s client list includes Michael Kors, Russell Simmons, Michelle Rodriguez, Zooey Deschanel, Tommy Hilfiger, Leighton Meester, Paula Patton and Ciara to name a few. Her work has graced the pages of Vogue, People, Maxim, WWD and Nylon among others. In addition, Roxy’s makeup looks have been down countless runways including YSL, Giorgio Armani, Pucci and Jill Stuart. She has led the makeup for the American Idol concert tour and worked on Madonna’s “sweet & sticky” tour as well. Most recently Roxy attributed her skills to the coveted People’s 50 most beautiful 2012 issue.
Roxy’s makeup journey started in Paris where she studied at the prestigious artistic academy, Christian Chauveau.
The globe trotting beauty has called Paris, Hawaii, Los Angeles and New York home, currently splitting her time between New York and L.A. It is evident that this jet-setting lifestyle has only helped her become a more well rounded artist, she has the ambition of an Angelino, the fashion sense of a New yorker, the cultural influences of France and the easy breezy down to earth vibe of Hawaii. She has seen and mastered makeup trends in all forms across the globe. She loves her career and is passionate about it. Roxy is a busy bee and enjoys doing jiu-jitsu, surfing and yoga in her spare time. I got the chance to talk to the always in demand artist recently and asked her my favorite question…”What is your one MUST have, can’t live without product?” she quickly answered “mascara, It wakes up your face”. I would have to agree with her as I am a mascara lover myself.

Roxy has so much to offer the beauty industry, I can’t wait to see what she will do next!
Having trouble creating the perfect smokey eye? I found something you will LOVE! This genius palette is brought to you by Jillian Dempsey and Avon. The palette includes slightly shimmery, highly pigmented complimentary colors to help achieve the perfect smokey eye. The cool packaging separates colors into sections that mimic the shape of the eye so you know where to apply each shade. The Kit is available at Avon for $9!!!!!!! What a steal!
There are 4 shades in each Palette and there are 4 different palettes available including Purple,Cinnamon,Smokey and Aqua.
I love the look of minimal makeup in the Summer and it’s so easy. I have gotten a lightweight routine down for these warm months. It literally takes 5 minutes and looks polished yet simple.
I’ve narrowed my products down to only 4!!!!! I add a swipe of shimmery eyeshadow or liner if I have extra time, but these 4 products are key to achieve this look.
LOVE!
That just sounds weird, right?
Wrong. it sounds fantastic. Guerlain and Emilio Pucci has teamed up to bring a new taste to cosmetics in the Guerlain Terra Azzurra Collection by Emilio Pucci. This set is a limited edition and has tastes of Pucci’s signature designs. Blues are everywhere (except the eyeshadows and bronzer). On the cases, the bristles, the color of the mascara, the pearls, the kohl, and an option for the nail lacquer. Just like the mesh of Pantone and Sephora made a hit with orange this season, Emilio Pucci and Guerlain are sure to make a mark with blues.
Here’s the whole collection for your viewing/shopping pleasure:

I did a post a while back on Birchbox,which is a great company that delivers five hand picked deluxe beauty samples to your door every month for only $10. It’s really cool. They currently deliver to the United States which is great for all of us here, but I have quite a bit of international subscribers and now I’ve found a similar site that delivers to 18 countries worldwide and even more coming soon including the U.S. GlossyBox like Birchbox is a company that also delivers five deluxe sized beauty samples to your door each month for only £10.00 , the cool part is you can create a profile of your own personal beauty needs and preferences and they choose accordingly. Cheers to all of my international readers!
Glossybox ships to the following 18 countries:
