Sooooooo I have worn this eye for the last three days. I know, but it’s not like I’m wearing the same oUtFiT right??? Anyway, it is super natural, light with just a touch of softness because of the smokey technique. The lip liner that I used from Forever21 is only &2.80!!!!! SO worth it and it lasts all day!!! I got this hat from Forever21 as well and it was only $4!!!!! I happen to love that store =). Pictures coming soon for this look.

I have only just recently entered the world of self tanners and have found it to be quite difficult if not impossible. Sure most of it is user error, but let’s be honest, can’t ANY product be “Jenni proof”??? With sprays I can’t keep it from splattering, which makes me dab off the excess, which then leads me to believe I just took everything off sooooo I reapply……much to my HORROR!!!!! I turn out looking like I’m from some
freak planet where the sun oranges you (instead of browns) and was selective in where it
decided to orange my skin. It was like the picture below but MUCH patchier!!! Let us skip now to my thoughts on the Flash Bronzer I just bought from Lancome while they were in gift. I purchased it merely to get the 6 a la cart gifts I was salivating over so I didn’t really give it that much thought. Especially after the travesty first trial of sunless products. I was shocked, I repeat
SHOCKED at how much I loved this stuff!!! It was so creamy, tinted (so a fool like me could see if I missed any spots) and blended SO well! I also liked that it was buildable. Much like a foundation with coverage, if you need more then you slap it on. In this case if you want to be a touch darker just put on another layer after the first dries (30 min). If you are going to go out and get the gift, I HIGHLY recommend you getting the bronzer (singing voice) I
LOOOOOOOVE IIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!

All the years I have been doing makeup there has been one common comment from a particular group of ladies.
My beautiful redheads.
I love these ladies to death, and for the longest time was exceedingly jealous of their gorgeous locks. *As you can see in the photo, I recently decided to go for it and become one myself.*
The only problem I’ve had with these ladies was their universal statement of….
“I can’t wear bright colors because of my hair. I have to stick with only neutrals.”
Granted, neutral colors do look very beautiful and can make the hair the true statement. However, there are some very beautiful colors that not only accentuate the hair but can make your beautiful features stand out even more. Case in point…..
Purples and pinks. The purple not only helps bring out the green in my blue green eyes, but also contrasts the red beautifully. The light pinks in the cheeks and lips give a nice rosy glow to complete the simple look.
So redheads…. ENOUGH EXCUSES!! Try new colors, you’ll be surprised at what a difference you will see. Besides, if you don’t like it you can always wash it off and try something else!
To my beautiful redhead client (you know who you are) who inspired this little rant… thank you for trusting my advice and then going with it! The green on your eyes truly was gorgeous!

There is something about Spring. The sun starts to peak out from behind cold dark clouds. The grass starts getting greener and life starts popping out just about everywhere. I love to find inspiration from nature and right now is the BEST time to find color. Look at flowers, butterflies, and sunsets. What inspires you color wise? Do a look and send in a picture of how you are welcoming in Spring!!! Melodi requested a springy look and I was inspired, this time, by the 2009 Dior Spring collection.

I know sometimes after washing my brushes they fray out and don’t dry as well as I would like them to. How many of you throw yours into the depths of your makeup bag alone, scared and without protection? =) Well, check THIS out!!!!!
The Brush Guard is a stretchable, breathable tube which slides over brush handles onto the bristles to protect bristles from damage when not in use. The Brush Guard allows makeup artists and others to safely store these valuable tools in a roll or a bag without a worry.
The Brush Guard also offers a unique new benefit that has never been available before: it allows brushes to be dried with the bristles pointing down! When brushes are laid down to dry, moisture wicks into the ferrule, ruining the glue and causing the handle to swell – eventually spoiling the join.
By keeping The Brush Guard slipped over brush handles during a makeup session, artists keep oil and wetness off brush handles and improve the grip.
How COOL is that??? Click here to check it out and see what others are saying!!!
