Belafonte Launches Glamorous Cosmetics Line; Malena Belafonte Has Designed a Mineral Cosmetics Line for Women and Moms on the Go

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

Malena Belafonte is a woman with a lot of talents. She is a singer, songwriter, producer, an international model with a long track record and a mom. She is also a co-founder of The Speyer Legacy School, a private elementary school for eager learners in Manhattan. She owns a production company, a cosmetics company, the web store http://www.malenabelafonte.com, writes a weekly column and is a full-time mom and wife.

"Creating a cosmetics line that supports my lifestyle is just a natural evolution for me. I don't limit myself, I jump into things 500% because I see a need. Women do not have time for themselves and I felt that there was a need for a healthy, yet vibrant, glamorous mineral cosmetics line. Mineral cosmetics seem to have a "green vibe" that might not translate well to certain consumers. I felt that there was a need for a line that gives you all the newest colors and looks, but made of minerals that benefit your skin. If you end up wearing it into the night because you are exhausted, it is OK, too. Women need to have a plan B," says Malena Belafonte.

Malena Belafonte is herself one of those women who need a plan A and B and sometimes C and even D. Juggling being a full-time mom while having a public career, being a trustee, running a production company as well as a cosmetics company, managing a singing career and working on her first book, makes for one busy lady. "Malena has always worked harder than most. She takes on tasks for 3 people, while taking care of her family without help. It has always been her mission to help others be the best they can be, because that is how she lives her life. I see her cook dinner, paint a chest of drawers, while helping the kids do home work and then get totally excited about new colors for her cosmetics series, while rehearsing on a song and doing laundry. Her pace is definitely faster than mine, but somehow she is able to make it work while looking beautiful and completely together," says Malena's mother, Irmgard Mathiesen, who is Malena's inspiration as a mom.

"We are all so busy and as women we take on the world. Everyone expects us to be the best we can be, look the best, otherwise we are accused of 'falling apart.' My cosmetics line is designed to be easy to use and fast to apply. The minerals are forgiving, the colors are vibrant and the quality is amazing. You get a healthy glow no matter what skin type you are. Additionally, these products are hyper-allergenic, no talc, no starch and the foundations and powders have SPF. Multi-tasking women need multi-tasking products," says Malena Belafonte about her new "Malena" series.

"It is hard enough holding it all together as a women and a mom. Taking time out for 'you' almost feels like cheating, which is why I designed this line to be easy to use, yet glamorous, while still using minerals instead of chemicals, so your skin actually benefits from the make-up," says Malena Belafonte.

As the temperatures are heating up throughout the country and the sun is getting stronger it is becoming even more important to shield the delicate skin from the potentially harmful rays of the sun. Stylish sun hats are an important part of a womans line of defense against skin cancer, premature aging and other damaging results from the sun. Other preventative measures are to stay out of the sun during the middle of the day when the sun is at its strongest and to use a high quality natural sunscreen. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) keeps a great list of all the sunscreens and their safety ratings.

What makes for a good sun protection hat? For best sun protection, ladies should look for a wide brimmed sun hat with a brim size larger than 3.5 inches.

Working Moms Launch a New, All Spray, Organic and Natural Hair Products for Kids; Includes Shampoo, Dentangler, Anti-frizz, Curl Booster and Flex Styling Sprays

Reading, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

Rock The Locks is a natural and organic kids hair product line recently launched by two working moms, Lori Derr, twenty-seven years experience in the hair industry and Joie McKim, nine years experience in the retail industry. The natural and organic hair product line was created exclusively for kids, to be a safe and effective product for childrens hair care and styling.

When searching for hair care products for their children, both Lori and Joie noticed the amount of harmful chemicals that were added to childrens shampoo, detanglers, and other hair care products. Together they set out to create a line of natural and organic hair products that were safe and fun to use on their children.

I was shocked when I realized what harmful chemicals were being used in my kids shampoo, such as unsafe color dyes, sulfates, and parabens. These are the same harmful chemicals I read about in all my parenting magazines Lori Derr

All Rock The Locks products are free of alcohols, dyes, sulfates, parabens, gluten and even dairy, making them safe for children of all ages.

In addition to being natural and organic, Rock The Locks products are delivered with a patent-pending spray technology that uses compressed air to deliver the product, without using aerosol.

My son has curly hair and I couldnt find any childrens products that would enhance his curls and tame his frizz. I didnt feel comfortable using adult products with harsh chemicals on a two year old. I wanted to use safe styling products on his hair, so I set out to create my own, soon after Rock the Locks first products were developed. Joie McKim

All product formulations were created by hair care product expert Paul Mazzotta, owner of Cospro Development Corporation located in Reading PA. Paul has over 40 years experience working in the hair care and products industry, and has successfully launched numerous hair care product lines.

Working closely with Lori and Joie, Cospro was able to develop an exclusive product formulation that met all the requirements of an organic and natural product line, including fun smells that are made from essential oils. The resulting Rock The Locks product lineup consists of a shampoo, detangler, curl booster, anti-frizz and flex styling sprays.

Rock The Locks products are currently available online at rockthelocks.com, where customers can purchase individual products or The RTL Pack which consists of all 5 products.

Lords and Ladies Salons, a salon with 6 locations, located in eastern Pennsylvania will be the first salons to carry Rock The Locks products, while additional salons across the United States are currently under negotiations.

Rock The Locks products will also be available in select retail stores across the United States within the next few months.
