May Glam Bag, 2012

16 May

You know what, I’m going to be honest with you guys:  I had a lousy day yesterday.  I almost tripped over a dead deer (!) on my morning run, and it was all downhill from there.  After I got home from a long day, I washed my face and plopped my fanny in front of the computer.  That’s when I saw…

My May Glam Bag had arrived!  It was sitting so nicely on top of my mouse pad.  It’s just like it knew I needed a pick-me-up.  What’s inside?  Take a peek! Continue reading

Battle of the Eyeliner Brushes

10 May

Eyeliner brushes, how much can you really say about them?  Pencil eyeliners don’t need them.  Liquid eyeliners come with their own applicators.  So, why do you need an eyeliner brush?

The answer: gel eyeliner.  You have the control of the pencil eyeliner, but the precision and lasting power of liquid liner.  However, gel liner comes in a pot therefore you need to get a brush to apply it to your lids.

Cue, our next smack down:

Latest Beauty Purchases, May 2012

9 May

I’ve been looking for a shower cap for a long time.  Not just any shower cap… a cute shower cap.  I’m one of those lovely ladies who don’t like to wash their hair every time they shower (yum!).  My thick, coarse hair doesn’t really need it though, it looks best the second day after washing anyway.  I found this cute cap at Sally’s!

I’ve been searching for pure essential oils everywhere in this dang town, and I finally found them at Mother Nature’s Health Market (local people, you MUST hit up this store!).  I wanted to get a bunch, but I settled on my favorite two, lavender and orange.  I can’t wait to start putting them in things!

I also picked up the shea butter at that same Health Market.  Again, something I’ve been searching high and low for.  I’m going to use it to make lotions (still trying to perfect my recipe).  I think this stuff will be my golden ticket!

On top there is my new hairbrush from Sonia Kashuk.  The pink is limited edition, but the original looks like a knock off of the Mason Pearson brush.

And lastly, what’s that in the plastic bag?  No, it’s not fish eggs.  It’s bees-wax!  It’s for my next project, making lip balm!  Post to come!

I hope you guys are looking and feeling your best today, I’ll talk to you soon!

Would You Fill Your Wrinkles With Blood?

7 May

It’s a new treatment called the “Vampire Face Lift.”  I think it sounds very interesting, but to be quite honest thinking about actually doing this makes me want to throw up.  I hate, HATE, hate having my blood drawn at the doctor’s office.  Yuck.  What do you think?  If money weren’t an issue (it’s pricey), would you try it?

EcoTools Kabuki Set, Review

3 May

I’m always on the lookout for any good beauty find, but when it comes to brushes I’m a fanatic.  I can usually talk myself out of buying that 14th purple eyeshadow, or another bright pink nail polish… but if I see a cosmetic brush marked down on clearance IT’S MINE.

You can imagine my delight when I found this with that delightful orange sticker on this at my local Target.

Oh, and the best part?

It would’ve been a CRIME not to purchase this, right?  Check it out! Continue reading

Latest Beauty Haul, May 2012

2 May

It took some searching, but I finally found some organic coconut oil! It has many uses, cooking and cosmetic. Put some on my lips before bed last night, it smells Yummy!
Snagged the glitter at 1 buck a pop from Sally’s, can’t wait to create some looks with it. Make up tip: teal looks good on EVERYONE!
Sephora Daily Brush cleaner. Just spray after use, wipe, and let dry. Great if you are working on multiple clients. Or… if you don’t wash your brushes as much as you should (guilty… shhh).
Zum bar soap. Local brand. Legitimately natural. Got a sampler so I can find a fave.

I hope you are all doing wonderful!
