Be My Amazing Valentine - Spotlight on Sandy!

 

 

Learn a little more about our Amazing Sandy! 

 

Name: Sandy Incardona

Tell me something you love about AmazingCosmetics: EVERYTHING! The story, the beyond effective products, the professional artists that support us and the women out there who’ve become fiercely loyal to amazing over the years. It’s all SOOOOOOOO great!

How long have you worked for Amazing? 11 amazing years!!!!!!!!!

What is your favorite thing to do when you're not working? Oh I have so many where do I start?? Yoga - I LOVE practicing Yoga! Horseback riding, although I’m not able to ride as much as I’d like to. Decorating my house, my daughter’s apartment, your house... JK! Ha…love to create beautiful, warm and inviting spaces. Thank you Coastal Living and Traditional Home magazines for inspiring me!

Favorite color? ORANGE. Most definitely orange. But that said - I do love navy, red and I’m totally loving the “hot” color of the season…Lilac!

Favorite animal? My little grandma puppy Holly!

Best childhood memory? Wow…where do I start? My parents entertained quite a bit and they always served great food to eat and had amazing music playing (on the hi-fi J) Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Herb Alpert. Oh, can’t forget my Dad’s fave Patti Page! We’d sing along and dance with my Dad…great, great memories.

The perfect weekend? I LOVE weekends. I always have such grand plans for everything I’d like to accomplish. If I get half completed I’m happy! But if I can, I adore weekend getaways with my husband. Maybe the city? Or a low country excursion. Great way to re-energize and re-connect!

First spring trend purchase? Hopefully something lilac soon! But I did purchase a pair of cage sandals in saddle brown that I’m in love with and can’t wait to wear. Will it ever be warm enough to wear them???

Favorite AC product? Of course… The AMAZINGCONCEALER!! That’s a no-brainer! I’m also pretty obsessed with the Velvet Mineral Liquid Foundation. I say that and surprise myself because I typically don’t like liquid foundations…at all. And then, we created the Velvet Liquid Foundation and my opinion completely changed. First? It’s buildable, meaning if my skin is doing a “happy dance” I use VERY little and still get flawless results. On days when my complexion looks....well…awful? The Velvet Liquid just glides onto my skin hiding everything I need it to plus - it has skin care ingredients that are actually doing something great for my skin while making my skin look…well, amazing!

If you were a super hero, what would be your super power? I would be the “singing” super hero that cures cancer.

Who inspires you? Why? My Mom and Dad. They’ve left this earth but are still a constant inspiration to me because how they lived. The greatest role models a gal could have!

Who's your special valentine? My husband Frank of course! He makes me laugh and I love the life and family we’ve created together. I’m a lucky girl.
