Makeup & Beauty Artistry Tips for Hallowe'e'n

There are so many ideas on the internet and choices available today for looking fabulous for Halloween, that it may be difficult to decide which look you'd prefer to try.  We've come up with several shown here, that particularly impressed us. We hope that you love one of these enough to try it as a new Halloween look, if you're up to the challenge this year!

These beauty & make-up looks for different costumes vary from fairly simple, but stylish, make-up changes to complex, more theatrical-looking costume make-up. Professionally done make-up and hair-styling has become a big business at Hallowe'en, and depending upon what kind of party you may be attending & how impressive you want your look and costume to be, you may decide to go for this more expensive option.


Many beauty salons offer these services for special Halloween make-up and hairstyles, and you can check with your own special salon to see if they do.

Whatever look you decide on for this Halloween, make sure you properly remove the make-up from your face, as soon as you get home from your party.  We recommend a gentle, botanical-based facial cleanser that will easily take off all eye make-up as well. If you haven't yet tried our COQUETTE- Creamy Facial Cleanser, it is perfect for daily, gentle cleansing of your skin as well as for tougher jobs- like removing theatrical Halloween make-up! It is very easy to use & can be applied either with your fingertips, or with a washcloth. Make sure to rinse well with cool water afterward. Follow with our Rose Water Frost Facial Toner for optimum skin conditioning and toning. 


Have a great time this Halloween, and don't forget to take care of your beautiful skin, after the festivities are over. The Cosmetiques LAUDUN TM Family wishes you & yours a very HAPPY & Safe HALLOWE'EN!!

Now, we thought we'd share a fun bit of Celtic Apple Magic tradition with you, in the spirit of the holiday, Hallowe'en or Samhein (pronounced, Sow' - an):
At the spiritual heart of the Celtic "oldworld," there grows an apple tree whose fruit bears magical powers. Legends of old speak of heroes crossing the sea to the west to locate this magical country, known in Britain as Avalon, and in Ireland as Emhain Abhlach (Evan Avlach.)  During Samhain, the apple harvest is in, and ancient fireside games, such as apple-bobbing, known as apple-dookin’ in Scotland, are commemorate the heroes voyage across the sea to claim the prize - the magic apple - for themselves. 

The Celtic Tradition of Dookin' for Apples  

Half-fill a large, preferably wooden, tub placed on the floor, with water. Tumble plenty of freshly harvested apples into the water. Ask one person to stir them vigorously with a long,   rod of hazel wood, ash or any other tree sacred to the Celts, or with a wooden spoon. 

Then each player takes turns kneeling on the floor, bending over the floating apples in the tub, trying to grab the apples with their teeth as they go bobbing around in the tub. Each person gets three attempts before it's the next person's turn. It's lovely to have a roaring fire nearby, either outside in a traditional bonfire or inside at your fireplace, so the players can dry off while eating their prize apple. 

HAPPY, HAPPY HALLOWE' EN!! 

The Secret of Anti-Aging with Organic Neroli Oil

What do you know about organic "Neroli"oil? Well, it's actually one in the large family of more common Citrus oils. The Duchess of Bracciano and princess of Nerola, Italy, Anne Marie Orsini, actually introduced the essence of the bitter orange tree as an "haute couture" fragrance, by using it to perfume her gloves and her bath in the late 1600's. The term "Neroli" has been used to describe this all-natural essential oil ever since. 

Neroli has a refreshing, spicy aroma with sweet and flowery notes.  The blossoms are gathered by hand in late April to early May. The organic essential oil is made using water distillation, because the blossom is too fragile for steam distillation.

Essential oil of Neroli is known as one of the best natural oils for anti-aging in organic skin & body care. The relaxing qualities go deep into the skin cells, and this oil is especially beneficial for sensitive skin. It is reported to have a restoring effect on the skin, due to its ability to stimulate the growth of new and healthy cells - Wow- Excellent protection against the visible signs of aging! 

Including organic Neroli oil in your daily skincare routine helps to rejuvenate the cells and improve the look of the skin. It is an excellent way to clean and tone the skin and even helps to heal blemishes. It helps skin to stretch and therefore is commonly used during pregnancy to avoid stretch marks. It can also be used to improve the look of scars.

Organic Neroli oil is ideal to use for people with sensitive skin. It is non-irritating and does not cause many common side effects, whereas other essential oils are more potent and therefore unsuitable for sensitive skin. In addition, the anti-bacterial properties in the oil aid in fighting skin diseases.   One of the biggest benefits of Neroli oil is that it helps maintain moisture balance in the skin and keeps the skin supple and soft.

Other healing qualities of natural Neroli oil include it's use as a sedative and overall tonic for the nervous system, and its benefits for most stress-related disorders of an emotional nature. The oil is reported to treat heart palpitations, to increase circulation, relieve insomnia, reduce anxiety/ nervousness and has even been reported to successfully treat nervous depression and shock. When you consider all the combined amazing health benefits of Neroli oil, it becomes clear that this essential oil is a must-have for your skincare regimen and natural medicine cabinet, as well.

Beauty Secrets of Organic Plaintain Extract- Part II

We are pleased to bring you Part II of this Blog about the many extraordinary healing properties of Organic Plaintain leaf!  To briefly revisit, Organic Plantain leaf is a very healing plant that's usually thought to be a weed.  This herb  is a plentiful source of vitamins C, A, and K, and well over 200 species of organic Plantain are found in the world.  Plaintain Major, a broad-leaved or common plantain (the kind we use in our "Sweet Feet," Botanical Foot Repair Creme), and Plaintain Lanceolata, narrow-leaved plantain, or ribwort, are the two most common species to North America.

The juice of organic Plantain Leaf is, in fact, antibacterial and very soothing when applied to burns. Similar to organic Comfrey, it contains Allantoin, an anti-inflammatory phytochemical that speeds wound healing and stimulates the growth of new skin cells.

This truly healing plant is probably growing in your back yard or along the driveway and is easy to harvest.  Just pick the fresh leaves and macerate them in a high-powered blender or food processor.   Then either apply them directly to the skin irritation, or use them to make a wonderfully healing ointment for all types of common skin rashes.  The picked leaves can also be dried and later steeped in boiling water for five minutes to make a soothing tea for the digestive tract & nerves.  Organic Plaintain's healing qualities include as an anodyne, a mild astringent, an effective diuretic , and  styptic/ stops bleeding.

Effective remedies for common rashes, poison ivy, allergic reactions, flea and insect bites and diaper rash can easily be created at home and treated with Plaintain leaf.  An ointment made with the leaf will also effectively treat minor burns and speed natural healing.  It's a great organic addition to your in-home First-Aid kit!

Natural, organic skin care remedies and products are far more protective and healing to skin than common store brands or cosmetics.   Purchase organic skin care and beauty products that include Plaintain Leaf, and avoid potentially damaging the skin with harsh chemicals, dyes and additives.  Heal, refresh & rejuvenate your skin instead with this powerful anti-inflammatory gem from nature!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland, OR- October 20, 2015 - Cosmetiques LaudunTM announced on Tuesday that they have entered into a new distribution partnership with Threshold Enterprises, Ltd., a national wholesale distributor of dietary supplements and health care products to the natural foods industry and health care professionals, based in Scotts Valley, California. Threshold has been recognized as one of California’s largest manufacturers and distributors of nutritional supplements and other natural products, offers more than 300 brands and 15,000 products distributed throughout all 50 states, as well as in international markets. The company’s focus is on providing holistic healthcare products to their broad range of customers, to achieve and support optimum wellness. Threshold boasts more than 30 years of experience in the natural foods and natural health care industries and has received multiple awards for the quality of its products, outstanding customer service & educational-based marketing, to name just a few.

The announcement was made by Anna Laudun Beauboeuf, Founder /CEO, of Cosmetiques LaudunTM , a successful crafter & manufacturer of organic and natural skin care / body care products, based in Pembroke Pines, Florida and Portland, Oregon.  Beauboeuf announced that the strategic decision to launch a partnership with Threshold is in direct line with the company’s short-term goals to broaden their market share by creating an international distribution network by 2016.

Anna Laudun Beauboeuf, Founder/CEO, stated that Cosmetiques LaudunTM produces a line of products unlike any in today’s market.  “Both eco- friendly and organic /all-natural, our products have a rich French-Caribbean heritage that pampers the skin with unique botanical ingredients that came from my Grandmother, Jeanne’s, extensive garden.  We provide our customers with skin care solutions that are free of toxic chemicals and eco-friendly, and very healing and effective.  The company’s primary focus is to create basic, fresh products that satisfy the most discerning customer.” 

Cosmetiques LaudunTM was founded by Anna Laudun Beauboeuf, CEO, grand-daughter of Jeanne Gabriel Laudun, whose nearly century-old beauty formulations are the foundation of the company’s skin & body care lines.  Beauboeuf further noted, “the ‘Cosmetiques Laudun TM’ organic & natural skin care line is based on beauty formulations that my grandmother created.  Each product is created with ingredients that came straight from her garden; when I was a child, I would go out with my grandmother each morning into her garden, where we would gather different herbs, flowers, and plants.  

Then she would teach me how to hand-craft her incredible ‘beauty crème,’ foot creams, soaps & body scrubs from the plants we had picked that morning. Our products address a variety of common skin problems, such as dry skin, signs of aging, acne & eczema, like skin care products commonly found in stores today. However, unlike our competitors, we use ingredients that are completely free of synthetic chemicals, paraben, dyes, and the like.  They are simple and effective, completely toxin-free and absolutely not harmful to the environment.”

Beauboeuf is a staunch believer in using strictly organic & natural ingredients in her line.  She stated, “While many skin care products are advertised as being “all-natural” and “organic,” quite often they are not, due to the lack of regulation.  Furthermore, while many skin care lines are developed and manufactured in a factory by a team of scientists, our products are beautifully simple, vintage family recipes, formulated with only the purest natural and organic ingredients that have proven to be effective for nearly a century.” 

Beauboeuf works in close collaboration with her Director of Sales & Marketing, Nancy S. Bechtol, and a team of chemists, laboratory, logistics and financial professionals, all of whose combined, extensive experience in the natural cosmetics industry, SEO, social network- and channel marketing play vital roles in the strategic direction and growth of the company.  Cosmetiques LaudunTM is committed to providing its customers with pure, organic, luxurious skin & body care products that are safe, healing and eco- friendly.

THE STORY-

Cosmetiques LaudunTM is a company unlike any other in its history and company focus.  At the helm is Founder/CEO, Anna Laudun Beauboeuf, born in Montreal, Canada, and from Caribbean island heritage in Haiti. Anna has taken her strong belief in the effectiveness & healing quality of organic, all-natural beauty products and successfully brought them to the consumer market.  Her interest in pure, 100% natural ingredients stems from watching her grandmother, Jeanne Gabriel Laudun, wander in her garden, hand-selecting various plants, herbs and flowers for ingredients to use in beauty products that she would make in her kitchen. 

As a child, Anna treasured her grandmother’s secret recipes, not realizing that one day, they would form the foundation of her own company.  As Anna grew older, her grandmother recognized Anna’s love of natural, homemade products for the skin.  Taking her into the garden, she would explain the individual health properties of everything found growing at her feet.  What looked like weeds to Anna- such as Plaintain Major leaf- often turned out to be the critical ingredients needed for various skin ailments!  Anna listened carefully, taking in every word, and also began watching her grandmother handcraft each and every product—from face crème to body scrub.  As a grown woman who enjoys beautiful skin maintained solely by her grandmother’s recipes, Anna decided to go into business to bring her products to the everyday consumer.  

Anna’s love of organic and natural beauty products are truly based in nature’s bounty. Today the Cosmetiques Laudun TM  team includes a large group of herbalists and chemists, who specialize in creating organic, all-natural formulas.  Working together to keep the company’s commitment to provide simple, fresh products for the most discerning organic & all-natural consumer, they reproduce Jeanne Gabriel Laudun’s original and pure, organic skin care recipes in a beautiful line of personal care products designed for today’s market.


“My grandmother, Jeanne, has blessed me with extensive knowledge in natural skin care recipes, and with gratitude and joy, I am happy to share them with you.”
