I Love Pink... Do You?

Hello my beauties!

I have been so busy out there spending money and trying new products… Oh, dear – my bank account has taken a hit – time to hide the debit card - hehehe

I have not forgotten – I will sit down this weekend and swatch out the palette for you and give you my take on UrbanDecay’s NYC palette…

I hope you are keeping well and always feeling beautiful, for beauty comes from within even though we love to jazz it up on the surface…

What am I wearing today: I have outlined my eyes with Rimmel’s Jungle Green pencil (which I smoked out a bit), Loreal’s Carbon Black eyeliner in the water line, MUFE Microfinish Blush in Quickie and a nude MUFE lipstink with MAC’s Viva Glam Cyndi to give a touch of pink in the middle…

Take care and be well…

Product Review ~ Make Up For Ever - Rouge Artist Intense No. 23…

Hello Beauties!!! Here is another fave...

Purchased at Sephora ~ 5 Oct 2010…

Love, Love, Love these lipsticks… they are full coverage, highly pigmented, Intense just like their name… so with that being said, one swipe goes a long way! The one that I just bought is No. 23 – it is a very nude color – now, if you are very fair skinned like myself, then this might be a little too pale for you (1970’s look) Now, that is not bad, just different. I do like it, what I do is apply it & throw a nude / or light pink gloss over it to give it a little boost!

I have attached a foto of the color on - sorry, if it is too big - when I made it small, it was hard to see... this is the lipstick without anything over it.

Lately, I have fallen in love with Make Up For Ever (MUFE) You can find all MUFE products at your local SEPHORA. They are my newest passion…

Keeping you ‘in the know’…

Product Review ~ Make Up For Ever HD Blush…

Hello Beauties!!!

I hope you are happy and healthy. I am looking forward to the fall weather and all the color changes that come with it...

Makeup goes along with any beauty regimen… so, here I will do product reviews from time to time on the new goodies that I am using at the moment to keep you ‘in the know’…

Lately, I have fallen in love with Make Up For Ever (MUFE) You can find all MUFE products at your local SEPHORA.

Let’s review MUFE HD Microfinish Crème Blush… Wow!

This lil bottle .33 fl oz is a little pricey - $25… now, I am not able to say yet, if the bottle will last forever, however, I will say that, ‘I LOVE IT’!!! Before buying this lil gem – I had neve

r used crème blush as part of my makeup routine… I believe I will never go back…

I purchased this lil baby on 5^th of October at the biggest SEPHORA in Vegas @ the Venetian hotel… (In fact, where I live, fortunate me, MUFE has a dedicated space at the Venetian SEPHORA) I am currently using #6 (Quickie). I went in and explained to the artist that I was tired of the bronzy look and that I wanted a new fresh look… I expressed my love of pink… and thus, we came up with #6… When I wear this blush, I feel all fairy looking, so girlie… dare, I say, dewy looking as well. I just love it! I cannot say more on it…

On another note, if you want a younger look, crème is the way to go, it creates a softer look…

Stick around for more reviews…

Beauty Tip No. 8 - Did You Know... Microdermabrasion is Fabulous!

... Microdermabrasion offers so many benefits...

When I first started on the beauty scene - I thought my skin is so youthful and clear -why would I need microdermabrasion? It turns out that not only does it smooth out my skin even further it assists with any sun damage that I may have exposed myself to. Now, I am what you call vigilant when it comes to protecting my face from the sun, however, in my youth I would say that I was not always so careful. Here's the skinny (pun intended) on the benis of the lovely deep exfoliation.

Microdermabrasion:

- is a skin care treatment that goes much deeper than your normal at home exfoliation

- is a technique that uses tiny rough grains such as crystals or diamond heads to slough off the upper layer of skin: epidermis - it is ridding your face of the 'dead skin'

- is used to stimulate cell turnover (fresh, younger looking skin)

- assists in improving skin tone and helps with any scarring left over from acne and great news: it helps to diminish wrinkles and sun damage - yay!

- is great and effective for all skin types

- is non invasive, therefore, it is virtually painless - sensitivity may occur after service - quickly going away after a day (please use SPF 30 minimum)

- is a great alternative to plastic surgery

- sees best results when done every week for at least 6 treatments

- is becoming popular with men as well

Though there are some products on the market promising do it yourself results, I would advise against it. I suggest seeing an aesthetician and having it done professionally as it is possible to over stimulate and irritate your own skin.

I am getting my second session done this week. I will keep you updated on my results - I will post some pics of the before and after. My skin is very light and clear, however, I too, pick once in a while and I have caused some hyperpigmentation that I wish to clear my face of.
