Continuing with the series of Most Read Mehron Blogs, tonight we present a Blog that was originally posted on December 6, 2008 entitled, A Holiday Gift With Love. This Blog introduced Mehron Blog readers to the variety of Mehron Makeup that can be given as a Holiday Gift. Unlike some of the Blogs in the Most Read Series of Mehron Blog postings, the December 6, 2008 Mehron Blog does not receive a lot of readers throughout the year, but beginning days after Halloween, it is a Blog that receives its fair share of the readers going through the Mehron Blog Archives. These Blogs are highlighted in this series because the archives of the Mehron Blog are becoming extensive and pointing readers back to previous articles that receive extra readership helps new Mehron Blog readers experience some of the older Mehron Blog Postings. Here is a re posting of the December 6, 2008 Blog entitled:

A Holiday Gift With Love

Most of us are feeling the economic pinch this Holiday Season, with devalued assets, layoffs and lack of overtime it is hard to think of a wonderful Christmas Gift, Hanukkah Gift or Kwanzaa Gift that won't stretch our budget but will show the spirit of giving. Just remember it is not the cost of the gift that matters, it is the love that is wrapped in the gift. Sometimes the least expensive gift is the one that reflects the most love because it shows the recipient that you took your time and thought about a gift that they would use and enjoy, a gift that is different and personal, instead of a gift off the shelf already packaged.

When choosing a Holiday Gift think about the personality of the person that you are giving the gift to and match that personality to a gift that they will use all year and is unexpected. The unexpected gift is usually the gift that makes the impression. The gift given with love is the gift that is remembered. If you are looking for that gift, we have Holiday Gift Ideas for you.

Mehron Makeup has been made with love since 1927 when Mehron Melik found a passion within him to produce theatrical makeup that catered to the live performers of Vaudeville and Broadway. In the beginning Mehron selected the ingredients by hand, produced the makeup by hand, and personally visited the performers each night before their performance to deliver that night's makeup. As you can imagine the performers not only loved Mehron's Makeup but they also grew to love him. It is in that tradition that Mehron makeup is still produced in the USA by a second generation Melik, Martin.

This year the Mehron Website is featuring nine Holiday Makeup Gift Ideas selected by the Marketing Director, Stephanie Ferreira as a representative sampling of the Makeup Made with Love for you to consider when giving a gift of love this Holiday Season. Of course after over eighty years of producing Professional Theatrical Makeup, the World's Foremost Clown Makeup, the highest quality Face Painting and Body Painting Makeup, and becoming the Innovator of Extreme Beauty Makeup, Mehron has hundreds of Makeup Products that you can give with love. To view our selected Holiday Makeup Gift Ideas just visit the Holiday Gift Idea Section of the Web Site. Mehron Makeup is available around the world through Authorized Mehron Dealers.

Holiday Gift Ideas From Mehron

This is the time of year when a jolly old man in a red and white suit with lots of helpers pulls up to the Mehron building to load up his sack with Holiday Gifts. This year he was met by Martin Melik, the President of Mehron along with the Mehron Ladies decked out in their Holiday Santa hats to help him select the finest in Holiday Makeup Gifts for all the people on his Holiday Gift List. As they were checking his list the Mehron Ladies noticed that on his list were lots of drama students away at college, so they quickly gathered an assortment of complete Student Makeup Kits including 5o cases of Mini-Pro Student Makeup Kit Featuring CreamBlend Makeup Base for those just starting out, and 75 cases of All-Pro Makeup Kits for the students with a couple of productions under their belts. As his helpers were busy loading the cases the jolly old man couldn't contain his laughter, " Ho, Ho, Ho, the students are going to love using the same makeup as Shrek uses on Broadway, I just love Shrek, don't you Martin? You better load me up with 125 cases of Celebré Makeup Kits, because I know some people on my Holiday Makeup Gift List will be making their way to Broadway, just like Shrek and Princess Fiona." His assistants were becoming disorganized as he kept adding more and more cases of the Student Makeup Kits to the list, luckily Oleg Yerov, Operations Manager of Mehron happened by to help them organize their loading. After a quick, "Hello" the jolly old man was off again with his list in hand and harried helpers following behind, "Come, hurry Martin, I need lots more, and my list is bigger this year."

"I think I took the wrong list," he said to no one in particular as he continued walking, "there are a lot of people who want body paint on this list....hmmm... I must have mixed something up...". As he was standing befuddled looking at his list, Shelli Farber, Education Manager at Mehron, and Gene Flaharty, Product Expert at Mehron couldn't help but hear his confusion, so they explained to him that Body Paint was really Makeup used in the Art of Body Painting, not car bodies, but human bodies. "Ho, Ho Ho.... what will they think of next?" So Shelli and Gene explained to him about the water activated Body Paint Makeup developed by Mehron in collaboration with Jinny Houle, an award winning Body Painting Artist. Shelli suggested that he might want to add the colorful mixed palettes of Paradise Makeup AQ ProPalette - 12 Colors, Paradise Makeup AQ 30 Color Palette, and some of the Paradise Makeup AQ - 8-color Palette, so that he has sizes and colors for all talent levels on his list. And Gene suggested a selection of Professional Makeup Brushes that all Face Painting and Body Painting Artists always need, so he showed him the Stageline Golden Nylon Makeup Brushes ." Oh, this is great...Ho, Ho Ho,..." as he moved on again with his list in hand and the his main assistant panting behind him.

"I need some fantastic face serum to protect the skin of the beautiful soft faces on my list", he was mumbling as he walked with his head down right into the Research and Development office of Jimmy Varghese, who was meeting with Jack Sakalsky, the Manufacturing Director of Mehron. Jimmy explained to him that Mehron has developed an exclusive face serum made just for that purpose, to protect and revitalize soft beautiful skin, rich in anti-oxidants that actually heals, soothes and hydrates the skin. They directed the excited man to Stephanie Ferreira, Director of Marketing at Mehron and told him to ask her for Velvet Finish Primer- Serum, a new exclusive formula developed right here to keep skin smooth, supple and young.

When he found Stephanie he couldn't contain himself, "I need lots of Velvet Finish Primer-Serum because I have a lot of beautiful faces on my Holiday Makeup Gift List!!" " You just sit down here before you are all worn out and I'll call Mr. Melik and we will finish off your list" Stephanie said offering him a chair. "Ho, Ho, Ho, that's why I love Mehron, like coming back to family, I knew Martin's Dad during the Great Depression, he always made sure I had gifts for the children, Clown Makeup is what I brought them....now Martin makes all kinds of Makeup here.....it's just amazing. Last year I gave some Extreme Beauty Makeup, it was called L.I.P. Color Cream Palette, and for all the pretty eyes I got Celebre ShadoBlend Pressed Powder Eye Shadow, and for all the rosy cheeks on my Holiday Gift List Martin made Celebré Professional Pressed Powder Blusher 8 Color Palette for me to give, it's right here on my list." "We will have them brought out to you, and we have an exciting new Eye Accenting Makeup Product, AdGem, that lets the ladies add real gem stones to their makeup! And we have Paradise Glitter and Metallic Powder to add a dazzling touch to Extreme Beauty Makeup." Stephanie informed him. " Ho, Ho, Ho, I will be giving the best Holiday Makeup Gifts this year again. I just need one more thing........the Mrs. likes some shiny powders, she likes to put sparkles on when we have our Christmas Party after I make my gift giving rounds, she saw a Mehron Ad in a Magazine, I wrote it down, it's called Celebre Precious Powders, she said it has sparkles built right into the powder, some for her and some for my assistant's wives and daughters, then I will be on way, right after I visit my friend in the Mehron Finance Office, Gina Kresback".

After thanking everyone at Mehron and wishing them all a Happy Holiday, he turned to Mr. Melik and said, "Now remember Martin, I will be in the Circus again this summer, and you know I love being the clown, don't forget to ship me the Clown Makeup as always, your Dad never forgot, and so far you haven't either. Happy Holidays to all". As Martin, Stephanie, Shelli, Gene, Gina, Jack, Oleg, and Jimmy waved to the December visitor, they all called out to him, "Happy Holidays from Mehron".
