If you know me, you know how much I love animals and if you really know me, you know how much I adore elephants. They are such beautiful, majestic creatures. So, when I found out that the wonderful company I work for and love adopted an elephant, I literally squealed with happiness! Here's to Save the Elephants Day! #Repost #elatecosmetics (@get_repost) ・・・ Happy Save the Elephants day! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 In 2017 we adopted Maisha the elephant, at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa as part of our cruelty-free initiative. To celebrate Save the Elephant Day, any lipstick shade you purchase will help us save more elephants! All proceeds from lipstick sales April 16th will help us achieve our goal of adopting 2 more Elephants. Thank you for supporting cruelty-free companies like Elate! 💄 . . . #ownyourbeauty #loveelate #crueltyfree #greenbeauty #vegan #glutenfree #sustainableliving #toxinfreemakeup #currentlywearing #beauty #selflove #truebeauty #crueltyfreemakeup #cleanmakeup #lipstick #lowwaste #cleanbeauty #cleanmakeup #selfcare #sustainablebeauty⁣ #naturalbeauty #SAVETHEELEPHANTSDAY Currently out of office 🌴 #familyvacay #itsabouttime #manifestthatshit #florida Taking Thursday on like... #Repost @lost_nowhere (@get_repost) ・・・ YES! And so it is. Follow my friend @ilovethesecret #lostnowhere ∆ Tarot ∆ I could not have asked for a more fitting first Tarot deck, gifted to me (because your fist deck should be gifted) by the lovely @healing.beauty.nikki. I've been looking at these Fairies' Oracle beauties, feeling them, and letting them take up some space in my living room floor until I'm ready to dig in. Thank you wonderful Nikki! I will love these and use them often. Do you use Tarot as a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly ritual? I'd love to hear about it. Fancy business cards for a fancy business lady. It's always been official but the cards make it officially official. I cannot express in words how grateful I am to work for this amazing company. The team I get to work with every day is overflowing with thoughtful and loving people that just want to spread kindness and hug the planet with me. Sometimes I need to pinch myself to believe it's real. @elatecosmetics I love you 💟 It's always a pleasure and tons of fun to teach everything Elate. Thank you @refillerydistrict for asking some great questions and for being so darn awesome! ・・・ #Repost #refillerydistrict (@get_repost) ・・・ A peek of the Refillery gals at our @elatecosmetics training session last night! Thank you to @greenbeauty.bylisatorti for giving us the low-down on a beauty brand we are so proud to offer! 🌎 eco-friendly packaging 🌺 consciously formulated 🌱 naturally sourced 🥰 nourishing for the skin 🌠 performs like a dream Thank you so much @melodieelated, for everything. This weekend's Annual @elatecosmetics Leadership Summit was overflowing with love, deep thought and emotion. You are the best host ever and I am so grateful that I can be part of your journey on this blue ball we call home. For me, this weekend at the @elatecosmetics leadership summit was all about inner reflection and deeper emotions showing up that I wasn't expecting. These ladies helped me move past some shit I didn't need to embrace and hold onto the light I did.  I am so beyond happy that I got to spend my time with @svlasblom and my new friends @spa-jada and @charmz777 this weekend. Thank you for being the supportive, hilarious, awesome, bad-ass women that you are! ∆ Day One ∆ What a beautiful day it was. There were blossoms on the trees...yes, Ontarians, there were blossoms! I explored the city a bit with some of the team and some partners that we are grateful to have with us at the @elatecosmetics Annual Leadership Summit. We practiced yoga at the amazing @oneyogavictoria, had a party in the @doubletreevictoria penthouse and laughed a whole lot during all of it. My face was hurting at the end of the day from all of the smiling. I am so beyond grateful for this company and for all of the people that have chosen to bring us into their beauty ritual ∆ Elate Cosmetics ∆ Tomorrow I leave for Victoria, B.C. for the @elatecosmetics annual leadership summit. To say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement. I can't wait to get there and celebrate a year of growth, empowerment and community with my Elate family. I don't mind that I'll get to explore the beautiful city, see some mountains and catch up with friends. I am looking forward to all of the things I will learn and fun activities we have planned. The only thing I wish is that my family could come with me. I will miss my snuggies and my all-too-real anxiety is kicking in. Time to breathe and manifest calm....I'll be fine! Stay tuned because I'll be posting some stories to keep you all in the loop. ∆ Gold ∆ My absolute fave. Gold jewelry, gold makeup, gold flower pots, bring on all the gold everything! I've had gold on my mind since doing makeup for the @goodlovelies last week and their song "I See Gold" inspired me to post this oldie but goodie. For this session, I wanted to turn my love into art so I grabbed some gllitter (I will only use eco glitter going forward but wasn't as aware then as I am now) some gold eyeliner and eyeshadow and made my vision a reality. This is still one of my favourite images of my work! Image by @theadambenderofficial Model Danielle @madeinboheme ✨ Light ✨ The lighting that @andicluthephotography used for this session with @manshipandya is so stunning. It just hits her face so beautifully, don't you think? This image is perfect for today's post. I am feeling grateful for light. The sun is shining and I'm feeling happy vibes. Image by Andi Cluthe Photography Hair and Makeup by me It's been a while since I said hello to all of you wonderful people. I'm Lisa, Certified Makeup Artist, Green Beauty Pro, Homeschooling Mamma, Yoga enthusiast & Crafter. • • I have always loved crafting. There's something about sitting back with some crochet hooks and a new ball of yarn that makes me feel warm and cozy. I find that I reach for handicrafts more in the cold Ontario months than I do in the warmth, whether it be cross stitch, macrame or crochet. I want to learn to knit and sew too! What is your favourite handicraft? • • Yoga practice has been a source of great light for me over the past 2 years. It has helped me gain muscle, better balance and posture and it's been fun to work towards poses that I never in a million years thought I would be able to get into. It has also taught me that I hold my breath waaay too much, which I never really noticed before. It's been such a rewarding journey and I don't think I will ever give it up. Do you practice yoga? • • We love homeschooling our kiddos. It's been an amazing time seeing them soak up knowledge and bud into the wonderful little humans that they are. It is not always pretty. We have had our share of bad days to give us a little balance, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. • Image by @creatinglight.studio Here's to a weekend of heart warming, soul blazing, fun loving, greatness that has filled my cup to the brim. Thank you @goodlovelies for an opportunity that will give me the warm and fuzzies forever. P.S. Caroline, this picture is the bestest of the best ❤️ ∆ Prom ∆ . . It's already February which means prom season is approaching.  If you have no idea what you want your makeup to look like that day, try choosing your favourite facial feature and working with it. . . If you love your eyes, make them the focus of your look.  That doesn't mean you have to go full black smokey eye - unless you want to, of course!  If you like to keep things natural, try using a shimmery shadow in champagne, copper or soft plum to bring attention to your peepers. . If you love your cheeks, emphasize them with a shimmery cream or powder blush and use some highlighter to create a naturally sculpted look. . If your pout is your fave, make it pop with a bright pink, coral or red.  So many options! . If you're still looking for a prom dress and you want to reduce your footprint, why not try a rental service? 151 Charlotte by @bridesmade.ca rents beautiful dresses that you can wear and return to them when you're done.  Because let's be honest...you will likely not wear your prom dress again.  Less waste while looking just as gorgeous. How brilliant! . . . Photographer: @kelsiekathleenphoto Dresses: @151.charlotte Makeup: @greenbeauty.bylisatorti Hair: @savijaellishair Venue: @theinnofwaterloo Florals: @thegirlfloral ∆ Bridesmaid Makeup ∆ I love it when bridesmaids ask for a smokey eye! I had fun with this beauty using @elatecosmetics Rebel, Stillness & Earthen Eyeshadow, topped off with Gifted Pressed Twinkle Powder. A smokey eye doesn't have to be black and grey! On the cheeks I used Ingenue and Dew Pressed Cheek Colour and for lips I used Bloom Lipstick. ∆ M O D ∆ Another image from my amazing collaboration with @pamela_osa. If you are into one of a kind jewlery & vintage clothing, you have to check out her adorable little shop in Stratford. It's such a cozy spot and it's all because Pamela is so warm and friendly. Earrings and Choker by @pamela_osa Photographer @kkleistty Model and Muse @claireee_ey ∆ Pressed Foundation + Creme Revealer ∆ The @elatecosmetics Pressed Foundation (formerly Matte Pressed, pictured top right) now contains Vitis Vinifera, an anti-oxident that also promotes elasticity in the skin. This powder is so soft and smooth and another one of our awesome multi-use products! You can use it so many ways: ✓On it's own with our Multi use brush for medium to full buildable coverage ✓Over our Refresh or Uplift Foundation for more coverage or with a fluffy brush and a light hand to set foundation ✓use our Cheek/Contour brush and a darker shade to contour and a lighter shade for a matte highlight ✓As a base for your eyeshadow Our Creme Revealer (pictured bottom right) is now smoother and comes in a 3g pan so you can have it in it's own little compact or it can be put into your capsule palette! That means 100% less plastic. Now that is something to be excited about! Use your fingers or either of our eye brushes to apply. Each shade of both products is also now named with our new, more inclusive + logical, alphanumeric naming system using Warm (W), Neutral (N) and Cool (C) to help you better decide what shade is for you. ∆Uplift∆ Some of our @elatecosmetics products got a beautiful update so I will be introducing all it to you over the next few days. Get ready for some magic! Uplift Foundation (formerly Full Tint) is now packaged in frosted glass with laser printed label and gorgeous bamboo lid, which means 70% less plastic than before. I wasn't kidding about the magic! Each shade is now named differently. We are moving to a more inclusive + logical, alphanumeric naming system using Warm (W), Neutral (N) and Cool (C) to help you better decide what shade is for you.  So much awesomeness! This uplifting, whipped foundation is buildable for a light or full coverage and can applied with our super soft Multi Use Brush or your fingers. Get in touch with me if you need help finding a stockist in your area or if you have any questions about carrying Elate in your space. #elatedartist #elatebdp #elatecosmetics #lessplastic #upliftfoundation #loveelate #sustainablepackaging #indiebrand #canadianbrand #confidencethroughkindess #greenbeauty #vegan #glutenfree #sustainableliving #toxinfreemakeup #currentlywearing #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfree #cleanmakeup #multitasking #zerowaste #naturalbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #cleanbeauty #ecofriendly #plantbasedbeauty #crueltyfreemakeupartist
