World’s Fastest Pumpkin Carver Headlines 2nd Annual Halloween Happening

2007-10-31T07:04:00.000-07:00

Phoenix Salon & Spa gave Halloween makeovers to a group of costume-clad kids from Project H.O.M.E., and held a “Steve-Clark-Carved Pumpkin Auction” to benefit charity.

Today, we invited a few kids from Project H.O.M.E.’s Rowan Homes to the salon for a little pre trick or treating prep. Carlos, Stacy and Tiffany donned the girls in shimmer and sparkles, while the boys opted for a more ghoulish guise. Meanwhile, Steve Clark, the Worlds Fastest Pumpkin Carver, entertained everyone with his swift pumpkin carving. He carved a few perfect little pumpkins—one for each of the kids. Then, he carved a couple large pumpkins with more intricate designs for auction.

NOUBA Product of the Month

2007-08-01T07:41:00.000-07:00

NOUBA NOUBAMAT WET/DRY FOUNDATION POWDER

A soft, matte-finished face defies trends, and will forever be the preferred look of sophisticated beauties. However, most matte foundations can leave the skin feeling dry and looking dull. NOUBA reinvents this category by offering their highly progressive NOUBAMAT foundation. Borrowing from the latest advancements in Japanese cosmetic technology, NOUBAMAT manages to impart a youthful look to the skin without any of the glow. Its formula lends a unique lifting effect to the skin, reviving its tone. Its unusual pigment actually deflects light, casting an even finish. NOUBAMAT’s long-lasting formula never leaves skin feeling dehydrated, and since it’s sweat-resistant, this foundation is essential for the warmer months.

NOUBAMAT users should always choose a shade darker than their natural skin tone, as the foundation’s unique pigment lightens as it adjusts to the skin within a few minutes of application. NOUBAMAT can be applied wet or dry.

Fresh Face for Summer
