TO PRIME OR NOT TO PRIME?

Photo Finish Lid Primer


What it is:

An ultra-luxurious lid primer.

What it does:


Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer creates the perfect canvas for eyeshadow application. Wear this universal shade under shadow to increase longevity, or create the perfect nude eye by applying over the lid for an even tone.


What Else You Need To Know:


The exclusive formula contains Phytomoist, a plant-based hyaluronic acid for ultimate moisturization and amino acids for skin-smoothing benefits. Soft focus pearls help diminish the appearance of fine lines on the lids while the patented Qusome® delivery system ensures all ingredients penetrate the skin to deliver effective results.
 

I just started using this 3 months ago, and now I can't live without it. I've been doing my eyeshadow without primer and I have generally never had a problem. I've been hesitant about using it, for about a year, but being a product hog, I decided to try it out. The results: How did I manage without?  It totally makes putting on eyeshadow 100% easier and better. It blends perfectly with any skin tone and does not leave any kind of film or residue. It also does not affect the color or texture of any eyeshadow in no way. It holds the shadow on, nearly all day, and blending is so much better. Everyone needs this product, it's as necessary as Lip Gloss, please Purchase it.  It's $ 20.00 from Sephora. A Must have!

The Lovely World Of "LASHES"

Lashes, Lashes, and More Lashes

It's labor day weekend, and with all the events this weekend, I'm looking to add a little spice. I usually wear lashes, but I'm looking for a bit more flare. I went to Sephora "My Favorite Store" and picked up three pairs of lashes, I don't know which one I'm going to wear, but all three has the drama, I'm looking for. The First is Makeup Forever Strip Lashes (very cat like)  $15.00, I absolutely love the flare on these. There very dramatic and sexy. The second is Urban Decay also $15.00, I love the thickness of these. They don't have the full amount of flare as the Makeup Forever, but there just as bold. Last but not least, the Illamasqua False eyelashes $18.00. I love these, there so different, but edgy. They actually have a tint of blue in them, so if I was to wear these, I would add a coat of blue mascara just to really make it pop.

Fake Eyelashes and Mascara are like peanut butter and jelly-alone there just fine, but when you put the two together, unbelievable magic happens.

Tip: When wearing fake lashes, always carry a little bit of adhesive and a toothpick with you. If the lash starts to come loose, hold the toothpick with the adhesive on it, onto the root of the lash, until it feels secure.

End Of Summer Glow

*Fall is near, and the summer is ending, but you want to keep your sun-kissed summer glow*

Summer is 3 weeks from being over, and the tans are about to fade ladies, but it doesn't have to end there. We can keep our summer glow for a bit longer. With all the Great Bronzers arounds, and shimmer lotions, we can still keep our sexy..  I love Nars Products. There quality is so good and it never fails.  I had to list my Three Fav products for keeping that summer glow, Nars Body Glow, Nars Monoi Body Glow II, Nars Bronzing Powder.

The Nars body glow and the Monoi are $59.00 and the Nars Bronzing powder is $32.00 from Sephora.

Even if you don't have a tan, if you want to fake it and act like you went on a tropical vacation, there your best bet.  As for the Bronzing powder, it gives your face a beautiful glow, add some with a dusting brush, to your cheeks and forehead, and a light dusting on your shoulders and chest, beautiful.

Classic Timeless Beauties!

I love seeing amazing women that age gracefully. I can only wish that I'm so lucky. When you see women that are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and they look amazing, it makes you smile and say wow. Is it good genes? or a healthy lifestyle? or is it both?. I know that beauty starts from the inside out, so I try to stay on the right path, lots of fruits and vege, and water. But what is the answer to looking amazing in our prime? I look at women like Iman, Halle Berry,Liyah Kebede and Naomi Campbell and I'm in awe. Beautiful amazing women, all 40 plus and can give a young girl a run for her money. I want the answer, I don't need no older women putting me to shame.

Pick of the Day- Nars Fall 2010 Collection

I adore this collection. As we know purple is everything this fall. This whole collection is very romantic, making you feel very soft and pretty. I should be doing a tutorial with the collection around the end of September when fall officially starts. I'm going to add one or two photos with a purple smokey eye I created using it, amazing.

NOW IS THE TIME TO START A REGIMEN

So my 30th birthday is coming up soon, and while I'm still young and full of life, I can't help but think in 10 years I'll be 40. OMG! I decided it's never to early to start a good skin care regimen, and using anti aging products right now. I do the basics, washing my face at morning and night, and adding moisturizer, but I've been doing a bit more lately. I've been using a set of Mary Kay products for my skin care. The Timewise Miracle set and the Indulge Eye Gel.

I've been using these product religiously for about 2 months now, and I love the results. The day regimen , the moisturizer and the day cream, keeps your skin hydrated and soft. The night regimen, the night gel and eye cream, you wake up the next day and look great. Your skin is nice and tight and you have no under eye bags. It's a great set from Mary Kay. Total it should run you about $90.00 dollars but it's worth it, and it will last you around 3-4 months which is great. Go to www.marykay.com and go into the skincare section, great investment.

PICK OF THE DAY-SMASHBOX BIONIC MASCARA

Hey,

OMG!! I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT!. I'm currently addicted to this mascara. I have long eyelashes but when I use this, it gives me great length, and also no clumping. Another reason I love it, literally you only need one coat. I purchased mine from Sephora $19.99, great buy. Girls you will love it.

Honorable Mention: Before I was addicted to Smashbox, I was addicted to Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara, Fabulous.
