Rainy Day Fun

It's a rainy day here and so I thought what a perfect day to pamper myself.  Pop in a good movie (My pick today is 50/50) and try a few of these ideas.


Make A Face Mask

For all Skin Types

 1 tablespoon honey
 1 egg yolk
 1 cup mashed avocado

Beat the egg yolk, add mashed avocado with a teaspoon of honey and blend well. Apply the mask all over the face and leave it for about 20 minutes to dry. Wash your face with cool water. The Vitamin E, proteins and fat in avocados will retain moisture in the skin and prevent aging.

For Dry Skin

 2 egg whites, separated from the yolk and placed in a bowl
 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt (I like Greek yogurt)

Separate the egg whites from a couple eggs and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt (do not use flavored yogurt!). Mix them up and apply to face. Leave on face for a few minutes then rinse face in warm water, followed by a warm washcloth.

Don't forget to apply chilled cucumber or green tea bags over your eyes for that spa feeling.

Deep Condition Your Hair



For Dry Hair (works great with curly hair)

1 avocado
3 heaping tbsp Mayo
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Blend ingredients in a blender and apply for 30 min. then rinse with lukewarm water

For Any Hair Type

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
egg whites from 1 egg

Mix together and then apply evenly. Wrap hair in a wet towel and leave on for 30 min. Rinse with warm water.

Product Love- Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick

Dior is my go to brand whenever I want amazing mascara (Diorshow Waterproof Mascara is my favorite), but I never really explored the rest of their brand until these little gems caught my attention. Dior Addict Extreme Lipsticks ($30) are so beautiful. The texture of the lipstick is super moisturzing, almost like a lip balm feeling on your lips. The 12 shades range from super natural pinks to seriously dramactic plums and reds. My favorites so far are Lucky ( a warm pink) and Silhouette ( a great peachy color). They are available at Sephora or if you purchase one from your local Dior counter they are offering a deluxe sample of their new mascara Diorshow New Look.

Get The Look- Taylor Swift American Country Music Awards

I loved Taylor Swift's soft smoldering look for the ACM Awards on Sunday. Her eyes are definitely the focus with the use of a shimmery brown, some sparkle and two layers of false lashes. Use a shimmery brown all over lid up to your crease. Use the same color generously under your lower lash line as well. You can take a darker brown eyeshadow to go back and define crease area more. Line upper lash line with a black pencil and tap a little Star Powder on lid. Layer lashes with two different sets of false lashes (110 lashes first then the 305 lashes). Finish your look with blush and lipstick.
Here are the products you can use to get this look.




Givenchy Rouge Lipcolor Voluptuous Nude
Ardell 110 lashes
Chanel Vitalumiere Compact Makeup
Ardell Accent Lashes 305
MAC Eyeshadow in Mulch
Nars Blush in Orgasm
Make Up For Ever Star Powder
Urban Decay 24-7 Eye Pencil

Sexy makeup

I love sexy makeup. Think of big flirty lashes, smudgy eyes, beautiful skin and soft lips.

Recent work

Just some makeup work I have done over the last few months












America Country Awards 2011

My favorite looks of the night!



Miranda Lambert is always at the top of my list for great style and last night was no different.  Those lashes and oh those contoured cheeks and her pink lips!! I loved everything stitch of makeup on her face!

Susie Brown from the JaneDear Girls is so gorgeous! Her skin is perfect and I adore her retro style. Thick liner and great bold lip. A very inspirational look.

Jordan Sparks looked natural but radiant with all the beautiful taupe and rosy colors on her skin.

Carrie Underwood was the big winner of the night and really I never get tired of her dramatic eyes and nude lips. Always a knockout look for her!
