Numbers on MAC brushes

Numbers on MAC brushes

Just a quick tip for those of you that purchase or plan to purchase MAC brushes. The numbers on the side wear off pretty quickly and me, being the type A that I am, like to keep them there nice and orderly like =). A tip to keep them there is to take clear nail polish and swipe just a bit over the number and let it dry.

Who Do YOU Want To See?

Send in a picture or request in the comments of the celeb you would like to see. To find a picture (for those of you wanting to know) go to the Google search bar and type in the name of who you want to see. Then click on that image (full size) save it and send it to me by attaching it in an email.
Just leave a comment telling me who’s look you love and we will “getter” done =).
The Perfect Picture…..

The Perfect Picture…..

You’re on vacation and you are just having the TIME of your life. Of course you want to capture the moment. A nice, unassuming man walks by and you ask him ever so sweetly if he wouldn’t mind taking a quick picture for you. He does and you run to take a peak. “Oh, I’m sorry, can we take that again? My face looks fat.” *click* “No, not that one either my butt too closely resembles Texas.” *click* “Oops, I blinked!” *click* “Gag, my _____ looks HUGE!!!” (Feel free to insert ANY body part in the blank spot.) Not only have you wasted this man’s time but now you have no camera as he has thrown it over a cliff and has run for his life. We have ALL had times when taking a picture where we just wish we had a team of experts that could jump out of a bush without a moments notice and tweak, lift, and beautify before that click.I found a site for you that can alleviate some of the stress and teach you to take pics like a pro!!! Click HERE to find out the DL on: your posture, smile, your Facebook profile picture, frozen stares, makeup (of course!) and learn some tricks from photographers themselves.
Starlet Series…Penelope Cruz

Starlet Series…Penelope Cruz



I can’t even tell you how much I aDoRe this look!!!!! The eyes were just stunning and I honestly couldn’t stop sneaking glances in the mirror =). Weird, I know, but the eyes are so FIERCE and I did double lashes this time (a first for me). I think I could have done the crease a bit stronger but I am seeing this WAY after the fact. I would suggest deepening the crease with a dark brown, Handwritten by MAC would be great!!! I would love to see some pictures of you guys after you’ve given it a go!!!

You TRIED  It!!!

So, one night I was sitting, sitting led to thinking, thinking led to an AMAZING idea =). I am VERY excited to let you all know that I am working on a link for you to go to where YOU are the star!!! I am putting together, and would like to cOnTiNuE putting together pictures that YOU have sent in. Be it for a contest, you made the brush holder and sent a picture, you tried a tutorial, or just tried something new and wanted to share, I want to POST it!!! It’s my way of giving you all a gold star on your nose (like that Amy? eh? eh?). I am working on categorizing them at this point and then will put a link or a button in the side bar titled “You Tried It“. It really is so great to see my mailbox filled with photos from you and I hope more of you will send, send, SEND!!!!!!! =)

NYX Milk Is A MUST!!!!!

NYX Milk Is A MUST!!!!!

I have seen SO many girls sporting this in their cases and using it in other tutorials that I HAD to check it out and see what all the fuss was about. Ladies…this stick is GOLD!!!!! Well, it’s white but you know what I mean =). You can use this as your only base or team it up with the UDPP for a specTACular look. It brightens any light color that you are using and goes GREAT peaking out in the inner corners of your eyes when using a darker color. *BEWARE* one of the great things about this product is that a little goes a LONG way so be sparing when applying. I will be showing you how in upcoming tutorials as well, but make sure you pat it in with your finger or blend with a synthetic brush to avoid creasing. You can click HERE to get yours online today!!! It runs $3.00 not including shipping and is worth every penny!!!! Have any of you tried it? Post your thoughts or send a picture using it!!!
A Tres Chic Boutique…Tres Chic Indeed!!!!!

A Tres Chic Boutique…Tres Chic Indeed!!!!!

Meet Summer!!!! Summer is a dear friend of mine from “growing up days” in California. I was able to have a few nights out with the girls while in Utah and caught up with Summer. She showed me around her classic and very fashionable boutique and to say I was floored would be quite the understatement!!!!! Tres Chic Boutique, pronounced {tray sheek boo-teek}, has been in business since early 2008. Unlike most boutiques, Tres Chic Boutique is a store you can afford to shop at either in person or online from the comfort of your own home. Tres Chic Boutique has been on television regularly, in magazines and featured in blogs all over the world!!!! I will be “modeling” some of the great looks from her boutique in upcoming tutorials. You are going to DIE!!!!!

Summer Adams, owner of Tres Chic Boutique describes herself stating,

“I’m a girlie-girl, most importantly a stay-at-home mom, who just LOVES fashion and home decor! Just call me….a Fashionista on a budget! My friends and family are always asking where I got “this” and “that” whether it’s a piece in my home, something I’ve made or something I’m wearing. I decided it was time that I picked some of my favorite things to sell to all of you who are as passionate about your personal style as I am.

Tres Chic Boutique offers high-quality products for the lowest price possible. My pieces are from lines I’ve bought from for years now and know are a great buy. If you’re a girl on a budget, you’ll be thrilled with our prices. My mission is for every woman to be able to afford to look fabulous! And I’m the woman making it possible.”

Click HERE or on the side bar to go to her site and just drool over classic to outrageously beautiful pieces she has. I DARE you not to fall in love =).
