EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE ONE...

This is the one "beauty must have" we believe in!

It's a girls best friend and paired with a great mascara,

you are unstoppable!!

Available at sephora.com and (in store)

runs under $20.00 and should be replaced every 3-4 months. 

 why? 

It loses its resistance and gives a weak curl.

Didn't believe it til I compared the old with the new.

It's true.

Spring PICK me up...

While Cruising the isle at my local drug store looking for a cheap fix, I came across two new makeup favorites! The Beauty isle is My drug of choice... Tips to apply liquid liner: Start by first lining your lash line with a pencil, this will give you a guide line to follow. then go over with your liquid liner and have a Q-TIP close for a quick clean up. The Look is Very Sixties, Very feminine and very wearable.

ANTM

I shot a Top model this week! Elina from cycle 11. Randall (slavin) and I were obsessed with this girl on the show, even when Trya gave her that red curly weave, she stilled rocked it. Elina was one of the most beautiful girls they have had on that show and she has been working 2 waitress jobs in seattle, shooting a catalog here and there! Just goes to show reality TV doesn't always make you famous! But NOW...she's back in LA, testing and starting fresh. (she has removed all the top model shoots in her book) and going to be big! Here are a few of the shots..

New makeup Favorites

Guerlain has 2 of my new favs...

the Liquid eyeliner is fantastic. 

perfect for ladies who shy away from liquid,

because the brush makes the application effortless. 

And the Bronzing powder mist w/ spf 10

is abit pricy at $57 but the spray is user friendly

and the color is perfect.

I picked both of these up at sephora!

Paul Starr RIP...

Vibrating...

Mascara.

Lancôme introduced the oscillation vibrating mascara this week.  

The designer Jean-Louis Guéret said “you really can reach the look of false lashes”.

Not sure I'm believing it, and at 34 bucks I think I will stick to old faithful...2-3 coats of any mascara and 

you can achieve a luscious lash!  It doesn't need to vibrate!

The ugly side of Beauty...

 A former L'Oreal executive has accused the company of using ingredients in markets where they are banned and of selling products that contain unlawfully high levels of preservatives.

 Shu Uemura 

to create limited edition eye lashes.  The designs include 

The wing, made of paperclips. Rhombus gold & swirl.

mineral mine...get yours

we love minerals, been using them before they were cool.

Great coverage, built in sunscreen, and the only makeup that is truly non-comedogenic.

• The only important fact to note is...before applying mineral powder make sure any cream/moisturizer has at least 5-10 minutes to absorb.  If not the powder will grab onto any moisture making the coverage heavier. 

so while cruzin the drug store I came across a product that I fell in love with.

Its the L'oreal bare naturale an all over glow/blush.  Comes in several colors I went for the honey glow, but what i really like is the convenient packaging and the amazing brush.

Which is an unexpected surprise,  Rarely to you find a great product/brush combo!
