Working It Out?
As summer is on its way… well lets face it I like to think of spring as one of the seasons I wouldn’t mind just fast forwarding right though - pale pinks and lilacs just arent really my thing, allergies and flowery dresses? Mmmm no. So while that is all happening Id just like to focus on getting into great shape for a fun summer. Its good for your body and mind to work out outdoors...

Must Haves for January
I’ve always know to moisturize on a regular basis to leave your skin in great condition and that SPF needs to be like a religion to you to keep that skin cancer away, but now Im becoming a ritualist about it like I always should have been! And you should too. Putting the products in the right places in my place is actually what made me change. Random… but it works.

Its All About Those Eyes
.. and the creams you use to protect them! For the past year or so I have been trying out several eye creams for 3 month periods. I know its important to use one but I just didnt know which reviews to believe. With my skin tone I dont get super dark circles but I do have puffiness in the mornings so that was my main target concern. Here it goes! I hope this helps you on your search for the best!

Pretty Skin
Every girl knows (well, hopefully by now) that they really need to use an spf and a good moisturizer in their daily routine… but some do not know the order in which they should go in. Did you know you need to put on the spf ALWAYS before your moisturizer? Heres why: The skin doesnt absorb the ingredients in the sunscreen properly if not applied on clean skin.
This is one of my personal...

BOTTOM LASH MASCARA!
Every girl loves her lashes coated with mascara! Dont they!? Of course. We are always trying out new verisons but I will always stick with the amazing L’Oreal Voluminous in Carbon Black.. but even for a makeup artist the bottom lashes can get a little tricky because of how small and fine they are.
Its the smallest brush on the market, its stay-proof for 24 hours, and it comes in a...

Its summer time ladies, enjoy your face.
This month I have been really into lighter makeup.. which is really different for me. I usually like to wear a lot, because I can never decide what I want to put on. No drag queen stuff - but lots of gloss and lots of shadows.
Anyways.. here are some of my new favorite blushes :)
TRY IT. LOVE IT.

Its summer time again!
… and that means your skin is about to become more oily! To avoid getting break outs its the season to put away your full coverage foundations and trade them in for a good tinted moisturizer!
This is the one I have started to use everyday and I love it. I always put on concealer before but none the less its fab!

“Bronzer; You should look kissed by the sun… not attacked”
This is the newest to the Nars collection! Nars did so well with their award winning blush in “Orgasm,” that they are building on to that success with the new Nars Orgasm Illuminator. Its a tinted product that is suppose to be the same or better than the powder version. I think that the blush is TO DIE FOR, and this is great also.
This is another one of my favs. Its called...
