Eyebrows Matter

For those with sparse, faint or overplucked eyebrows, there is an excellent product that can help us to look and feel our best.  Let's face it, our eyebrows frame our face and they do matter.  I have not found a better product on the market for eyebrow enhancement.

You can purchase powder, kits, stencils, etc.  They even include an angled brush that is firm and work extremely well.  The price is very affordable.  You can experiment with different looks.  The authentic appearance of the brows when using the stencils is rather impressive.

Amazing Concealer Product Review

For those of you with a lot of pink undertones to your skin this concealer will probably work well for you.  It is rather dense and goes on easily.  It does seem to blend rather well.  If you have a lot of yellow or brown undertones to your skin, you might want to explore other brands.  Also, this concealer is a bit expensive for a very small tube.  The good news is you do not need to use very much, only a pinprick can go pretty far.  I suggest warming it between two fingers prior to applying it to your skin.

Good Luck!

Happy Birthday

It is my birthday today.  I am excited the Colts beat the Ravens!  We are now 10-0.  Go Colts!

Like Color

Hello Friends,

If you like color you might enjoy playing around on the Colourlovers website.  http://www.colourlovers.com/

You can design your own color pallettes and color patterns. 

Here is an example of a pattern that I designed using Colourlovers.

Another good site is Pantone, http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/index.aspx  Although I have found , it is not as user friendly as the Colourlovers page..

It Doesn't Hurt to Dream!

I just have to share this amazing lighting with you.  Click on the link, I promise you will not be disappointed.  Enjoy!

A Word About Purses

We change our clothes and our shoes everyday, but we carry the same purse for quite awhile.  It is a chore to change purses because that is where we keep all our stuff.  I recommend buying quality over quantity.  If you buy quality it will last and last, and you will be proud of the item and appreciate it more (especially if you have scrimped and saved to have something special.) 

There are a couple of brands that are unique and are quality made.  I carry a Kooba purse.  I love it and I have received many compliments about my purse.  Even total strangers comment that they love my purse.  http://www.kooba.com/#/collections 

I am also impressed with Francesco Biasia.  http://shop.biasia.com/biasia/index.asp?l=usa&c=usa

Lips Rock

Does anyone exfoliate their lips?  Why not enjoy the process with The Lip Scrub?  This stuff is great!  I have the Cocoa, but they have several great flavors.

Want to know where to find this product?  Go to:  http://www.thelipscrub.com/

When applying your lipstick precision is key.  The best lipbrush I have found is the 318 retractable lipbrush from MAC.

I like Smith's Rosebud Salve.  I even apply it prior to applying my lip color.  The scent is delicate and lovely.

Makeup Artist I admire

There are people who put makeup on you and then there are Makeup Artists.  Anyone can apply makeup to your face, but a Makeup Artist is someone who is skilled and can make you look your most beautiful or as I say, "pop".


I admire Kevyn Aucoin, he was the master of Makeup Artistry.  What Michael Jackson was to dance, Kevyn Aucoin was to makeup artistry.  http://www.kevynaucoin.com/  It is too bad that we lost him so soon. 


Today, I am most impressed with Michelle Phan.  I have learned so much from her on her YouTube videos.  She helped to develop the IQQU skincare line and she is also involved with a fashion line called Tofugirls.  I will provide the links for you to peruse.

Thoughts on Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is becoming so over used in our society, and for some who seek out surgery as a way to make them feel better about themselves it can become an addiction.  I do believe in plastic surgery for corrective purposes, however, I am against having surgery for vanity's sake.  I believe that you can look beautiful at any age, beauty is something that starts inside of you.  You can enhance your appearance by taking good care of yourself.  If you eat right, exercise, use makeup to enhance your natural features, dress appropriately, etc., these things can have a positive effect on the way you look and feel about yourself.

I find people who enhance their natural beauty far more intriging and interesting than those who have had plastic surgery to enhance their appearance.  Often times people who seek out plastic surgeons are trying to fit into a mold of what society has deemed looks good.  For example, someone seeking plastic surgery might try to look more like a celebrity they believe is beautiful.  
What are your thoughts?  Feel free to post a comment.

What I have in my makeup kit....

I tend to stay with products that are tried and true.  I also like to keep things simple. 

• Concealer - Amazing Cosmetics (this is to cover bags under eyes and any redness)
• Foundation - MAC (to even out skin tone)
• Loose Powder - MAC (used to set makeup)
• Eyebrow Powder - Eyebrowz (to fill in sparse areas)
• Eyebrow Gel - Anastsia (keeps brow hairs in place)
• Blush - MAC (adds a splash of color to the cheeks)
• Mascara - Lancome Definicils (for longer lashes)
• Eyeshadow - Lancome (for the lids)
• Translucent powder - Chanel (this has a bit of shimmer, but it rocks!)

I like to use the very best products on my face.  You wear your face everyday, that is why I believe if something works for you, you should use it until it no longer serves your needs.
