This adorable new blush from Physician's Formula is quite lovely. This is actually very similar to some of there other products just that the packaging is different. I personally love the packaging its very appealing and quite girly! There description of the product reads as follows;</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Irresistibly Sexy Blushing Glow: Wear this perfect blend of shimmery blushing tones like lingerie for your face for an instant sexy boost with an alluring blushing glow. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Sexy Boosting Formula: infused with the scent of warm vanilla, "afterglow" illumination and pheromone-mimicking ingredients including clinically tested Androstadienone, Cocoa Extract (aka "the Love Chemical") and ancient aphrodisiac Horny Goatweed to enhance your sexy side</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
It does give off a very flushed blushing glow, I have this in the color Natural, it also comes in the color Rose, but its slightly shimmery so if you tend to have very oily skin this isn't something you want to use as a regular blush it emphasizes your pores. I've been using it as a flushed highlight. If you have normal to dry skin this would actually look amazing especially in the summer with a tan.<br />
<br />
Oh, and the sent is so alluring!! It smells like a soft vanilla musk. If you don't like heavily scented products you won't like this, it's not that suttle but the scent will wear off after a couple of hours. The staying power is average about 4-6 hours nothing amazing. It retails for about $11.95 and can be found at your local CVS or Walmart or Wallgreens.<br />

<br />
<br />
The absolute best dupe for the Laura Mercier Brightening Powder is the Sonia Kashuk Brightening Powder available at Target. These 2 products are identical with regards to the main ingredients. It has a very silky fined milled texture, but powdery at the same time. Personally I find it a bit drying for use under the eye area, either one, but for the rest of the face it's fine. Best used as a setting powder than a brightener. The price comparison is ridiculous;<br />
<br />
<br />
Laura Mercier Brightening Powder - $22.00 @ Sephora.com<br />
<br />
Sonia Kashuk Brightening Powder- $10.39 @ Target.com<br />

I'm trying to get some decent lighting so you can get better quality. There are so many new products coming out that I'm super excited about and they'll all be reviewed here!!! Let's not forget <span style="font-family: inherit;"><em><strong>Halloween</strong></em></span> is right around the corner, my favorite time of the year, it's a makeup artist dream so I'll be posting some fun creations soon!!!!</div>

I ordered Bare and Dare, the anticipation was killing me these look amazing and the payoff will give the Urban Decay Naked palette a run for its money especially considering that Sigma included more matte shades which I'm really excited about. MakeupbyTiffanyD on YT has reviewed these palettes Sigma gave her the exclusive and in watching I fell in love with these palettes. If your interested in seeing that review here's the link <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD#p/u/3/sgC7We0CpMg">http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD#p/u/3/sgC7We0CpMg</a><br />

Elle beauty experts tell us <a href="http://www.elle.com/Beauty/Makeup-Skin-Care/New-York-Fashion-Week-Spring-2011-Beauty-Trends" rel="nofollow">summer's hottest beauty trends</a> include pumped-up lip shades, and bold swipes of neon and jewel tones on the eyes. Can you pull off these runway-inspired trends like a pro? It's <em>possible</em> if you avoid some common beauty mistakes.<br />
Here are six beauty crimes to avoid this summer:<br />
<strong>#1: Wrong Brow Color</strong><br />
If your hair tends to lighten up naturally from all that extra sun exposure during the summer, make sure your brows are following suit. <a href="http://eyecandybeauty.blogspot.com/2011/03/brow-trends-summer-2011.html" rel="nofollow">Thick and shapely brows are a hot trend for summer</a>, but if you're going to fill them in with brow powder, make sure the powder is a perfect match! Going too light or too dark will be a dead giveaway of an artificial brow.<br />
<strong>#2: Going Bold on Eyes AND Lips</strong><br />
While this is the season to turn up the color with neon hues and jewel tones, you need to do it on just one feature. Turning up the color on the eyes and lips will put you in the "overkill" category. Choose just a single feature you want to highlight for the day, and pick a color that complements your skin tone and natural eye color.<br />
<strong>#3: Cakey and Flaky Foundation</strong><br />
If your skin tends to get drier during the summer months, liquid foundation has a high risk of caking and flaking on you by mid-day. If you're wearing too much foundation, your makeup may end up melting on you in the summer heat. Stick with a layer of primer, tinted moisturizer <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/the-right-mineral-makeup-for-your-skin-type-2389439/" rel="nofollow">and mineral makeup for your skin type</a> to create a flawless look this season.<br />
<strong>#4: Lip Liner Mismatch</strong><br />
When you're sporting shimmering lip gloss and nude lipstick tones this season, make sure you're wearing lip liner that disappears underneath. Darker lip liner is a beauty crime in <em>any</em> season, but will be more apparent during the summer months when you choose more natural-looking shades.<br />
<strong>#5: Blush Overload</strong><br />
Wearing blush with bronzer is a great way to warm up your look and <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/event/yahoocontributornetwork/6-bronzer-tricks-for-a-flawless-sun-kissed-look-2486548" rel="nofollow">create a flawless, sun-kissed finish</a> -- just don't overdo it. Make sure you're choosing a powder blush that is in the right color family for your skin, and blend it thoroughly with an oversized blush brush to create the natural contours you need this summer.<br />
<strong>#6: The Tanning Booth Routine</strong><br />
As much as you want to sport that just-got-back-from-the-Caribbean look before you sport a swimsuit this summer, hitting the tanning booth a few times per week will put you at an increased risk for skin cancer. It's also the fast track to getting wrinkles and sun spots. Stick with the bronzer and <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/the-best-sunless-tanners-under-15-2480538" rel="nofollow">sunless tanners</a> to warm up your look this season, and keep your tanning booth visits to a minimum -- skipping the tanning booth altogether is ideal.sandracBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554377620292314867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032131310643039573.post-27412632031169837222011-06-03T12:47:00.000-07:002011-06-03T12:56:19.985-07:00MAC & Gareth Pugh Collection for Fall 2011Get set everyone this is gonna be one of those collections that everyone is gonna want, a definate must have!!!

I attended The Makeup Show in NYC this month and purchased a tube of this product from the Mehron booth. When I finally went through my goodies from the show I came to find that the tube was EMPTY! You can imagine my disappointment. I can only guess that it must of been a tester that got mix in with the rest for purchase. I than emailed Susan Small with public relations for Mehron and received an immediate response with an apology and an offer to have it replaced. I was so excited!!! When I received my package I was happily surprised, they had sent me all three in the collection light, medium and dark!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: 10pt;">Now those of you who know me know that I have oily skin so I was excited to test this product out and can honestly say that it's AMAZING!! I have tried other products before and some work and some didn't but nun lasted as long as this product did or were as inexpensive. You can use this under your foundation or over your makeup to keep the shine away during the course of the day. This has a primer like texture and blends seamlessly into your skin and it's not greasy or the other extreme flaky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: 10pt;">I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for an anti shine product that actually works and is inexpensive. This product will be a staple in my kit and in my purse!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: 10pt;">Thank you Mehron!!!! :) </span><br />

<span class="tooltip">I love both these products but it just makes more sense to go with the cheaper option especially considering that they're so incredibly similar. Milani offers you 9 color options Mac offers 6 options and with Milani's product you get a mirrored compact and a brush applicator. I just want to give you options ultimately it's your decision, so go and get your glow on!!! :) </span><br />

</tbody></table><strong>Identifying your eye issues—puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles, dryness—is easy. Finding an <a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/eye-treatments/" target="_blank">eye cream</a> that will make them disappear? Not so much. This guide takes away the guesswork.</strong><br />
<h2>For Crow's-Feet</h2>A wrinkle, whether on the cheek or around the eyes, has the same number-one enemy: retinol. Apply a cream that contains it at night—UV exposure can break down the potent ingredient. We like <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/714838279-ageless-intensives-deep-wrinkle-eye-cream/" target="_blank">Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream</a></strong>. If you find retinol too harsh on the delicate eye skin, go for a product with peptides, which, like retinol, stimulate collagen production. Try <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/patricia-wexler-eye-cream--shop/" target="_blank">Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Intensive 3-in-1 Eye Cream</a></strong><br />
<br />
<h2><table style="float: right; margin: 5px 1em 1em;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><h2>For Dark Circles</h2></h2>The only kind of punch you want anywhere near your eyes? The one-two combination of a treatment cream (long-term benefits) and a tinted formula (immediate circle masking). <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/710936694-olay-regenerist-touch-of-concealer-eye-regenerating-cream-05-fl-oz-15-ml/" target="_blank">Olay Regenerist Eye Regenerating Cream + Touch of Concealer</a></strong> has niacinamide to help fade discoloration over time, while its skin-tone hue instantly tones down darkness.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<h2>For Puffiness</h2>When you wake up with puffy eyes, you could soak <a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/black-tea--shop/" target="_blank">black tea bags</a> in cold water and place them over your eyes. Much simpler? An eye cream with skin-tightening caffeine. One that is distributed through a cooling applicator will deflate the area even faster. <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/eye-treatments/estee-lauder--brand/" target="_blank">Estée Lauder</a> Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator</strong> uses NASA-inspired technology to keep its ceramic tip permanently chilled. <br />

<h2> </h2><h2>Mega Moisturizers</h2>If the skin under your eyes is as dry and thirsty as the Sahara, consider these creams a tall glass of water. <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/eye-treatments/revive--brand/" target="_blank">RéVive Moisturizing Eye Renewal Cream</a></strong> relies on hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that can hold over 1,000 times its weight in water—meaning it'll flood your skin with moisture. And <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/802902357-future-solution-lx-eye-lip-contour-regenerating-cream054-oz/" target="_blank">Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream</a></strong> helps stop the dryness cycle by decreasing your skin's level of a molecule called Serpin B3, which disrupts the creation of healthy cells and makes your skin rough and fragile.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<h2>For Senstive Skin</h2>Skin that reacts angrily to everything it touches may make you hesitant to reach for a serious eye treatment. Don't be. Many companies now offer gentler formulas specifically made for sensitive skin. <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/849154283-roc-retinol-correxion-sensitive-eye-cream/" target="_blank">RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream</a></strong> slowly releases retinol over time to prevent inflammation. "The time-release concept is a winner—it will likely have similar efficacy to regular retinol, in a gentler way, since you only have so much on the skin at any given moment," says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. Or try paraben- and fragrance-free <strong>Eau Thermale Avène Soothing Eye Contour Cream</strong>; it contains chamomile and the company's signature thermal spring water to soothe and soften, dextran sulfate to reduce puffiness, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<h2>UV Protection</h2>Because the skin around the eyes is so thin, it's extremely susceptible to sun damage—but also to turning red and itchy when slathered with regular sunscreen. To slash your chances of potential inflammation, choose a formula designed just for the eyes that uses physical (not chemical) sunblocks. <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/18873107-sun-wrinkle-control-eye-contour-care-spf-30-07-oz/" target="_blank">Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care Ultra Protection SPF 30</a></strong> fits the bill; plus, it has vitamin E to ward off free radicals.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
<h2>Firming</h2>Need a lift? You don't need surgery to firm up sagging skin. <strong><a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/chanel-correction-lift-eye-cream--shop/" target="_blank">Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Eye Cream</a></strong> uses an ingredient called Elemi PFA to restore tensin, a protein naturally found in the skin that anchors cells and controls how they connect. "This can tighten and reinforce the skin," says dermatologist Jeannette Graf.<br />

Besides the fact that she looks flawless—she did it herself! This modern royal was confident in applying the makeup for the big day after private lessons with London makeup artist Arabella Preston. Middleton made sure to her give tan complexion a bronze glow and highlighted the prominent planes of the face. Her brows are filled in but the overall arch is very soft—it frames her face beautifully. We love that she blended the eyes softly and steered clear from the harsh liner she sometimes sports—her blue peepers pop from the smokey bronze shades! Kate contoured her cheeks with a rosy bronze powder and gave the apples a pop pink/peach color to brighten her face. She kept lips subtle and fresh with a nude pink shade.

<br />
Hail to the queen! Drag queen, that is. Last night, Raja was crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar during the finale of <em>RuPaul’s Drag Race.</em> At the official finale preview party, I caught up with Raja and the finalists, who each shared their top beauty tips to, as RuPaul would say, "looking good, feeling gorgeous."<span> </span> <strong><br />
<br />
Manila Luzon</strong><br />
<br />
First runner-up Luzon is a New York native whose style is as creative as it is endearingly kitschy.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Load on mascara</strong>. "Just when you think that you have put too much mascara on and you look like Tammy Faye Bakker—God rest her soul—just put another tube on. I always use Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. It’s a classic and it does a great job."<br />
<br />
<strong>2. The bigger the hair, the better</strong>. "If a girl is feeling a little fat, if a girl is feeling short, if a girl is just not feeling right about herself, all she needs to do is jack out her hair. It will make the proportions of your body look so much better if you have bigger hair. You must have a good back-teasing comb for that. You can find one at any beauty supply store for like $2. And that’s really what drag is all about. It’s all about looking like a million dollars, but spending $12." <strong><br />
<br />
3. High heels.</strong> "You must always have fierce-ass shoes, girl. Shoes make you taller and longer, they make your legs look longer and thinner, they make your feet look much, much, much, much smaller. And when you’re a man and you’ve got a size 10 or 11 foot, they’re helpful. You don’t want to be a beautiful goddess walking around with Ronald McDonald feet. I like to find shoes that have a little sparkle to them."<br />
<br />
<strong>Raja</strong><br />
<br />
Raja's high-fashion looks run the gamut from pin-up to tribal. Her beauty skills run deep, thanks to 17 years as a makeup artist (10 of those at a M.A.C. counter).<strong><br />
<br />
1.</strong> <strong>Moisturize day and night.</strong> "Moisturizing just keeps your skin looking youthful. Ultimately, we’re all animals and we have to upkeep our hides. I mean, it seems really primal and weird, but honestly they are our hides so we have to keep them soft and supple." Raja uses Aveda All-Sensitive Moisturizer during the day, and Sampar Lavish Dream Cream at night.<strong><br />
<br />
2.</strong> <strong>Flirt</strong>. "Flirting is one of the greatest beauty tips, because as long as you’re flirting, you’re smiling and the muscles in your face are nice and tight. I’ve been flirting for 36 years, and it’s worked for me." <strong><br />

3. Customize your scent</strong>. "I go between six different scents, and I mix women’s and men’s together. One of my favorites right now is Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. It has that rustic feel of tobacco but yet it’s super-soft and kind of candy-like with the vanilla, which is really like my personality. It’s a combination of rugged with a touch of lady. You’ve always got to have a touch of lady."<br />

<strong>1.</strong> <strong>Don't be scared of makeup.</strong> "Women are too scared of makeup. Makeup is made for women, and we drag queens just borrow it. But drag queens are showing girls that it’s ok to be feminine. My favorite brands are La Femme Cosmetics and M.A.C. The colors are dark and intense and they really show up." <strong><br />
<br />
2. Clean hair</strong>. "It doesn’t matter if your hair is curly or straight or up or down: As long as it’s clean, it’s beautiful. I use Pantene Pro-V Curls to Straight Shampoo. I have curly, frizzy hair, and that shampoo really controls my frizz. Plus it’s cheap!"<br />
<br />
<strong>3.</strong> <strong>A signature fragrance</strong>. "Having one favorite scent just automatically makes you feel pretty. People recognize it, and you’re familiar with it, and it makes you associate certain things with that scent. This is going to sound super-corny, but I love White Diamonds. It reminds me of my mother. Anytime I smell it, it reminds me of love. I wear it all the time. I’m actually wearing it tonight!"sandracBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554377620292314867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032131310643039573.post-9523967075608925722011-04-14T10:17:00.000-07:002011-04-14T10:53:02.018-07:00IMATS NYC 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSMDI17YtiizvWo_xYcXd_wJUUIXiCGBM1kQqRGTO47Gdl5pwT517uIxCCBG-bmkbeZ4m9j4A3j4oOUA_qHcS0ozdpDPRdrvPaCHhn3Hggt8gsQg1cM3As2dEFEbPVZPDBZ89cXLHLazc/s1600/IMATS+NYC+2010+020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSMDI17YtiizvWo_xYcXd_wJUUIXiCGBM1kQqRGTO47Gdl5pwT517uIxCCBG-bmkbeZ4m9j4A3j4oOUA_qHcS0ozdpDPRdrvPaCHhn3Hggt8gsQg1cM3As2dEFEbPVZPDBZ89cXLHLazc/s1600/IMATS+NYC+2010+020.jpg" /></a></div>I can't say enough about this event it was incredible all the vendors and the people that were there were so incredibly nice and helpful!! <br />
Like any event it had it's Pro's and Con's. The site chosen this year was amazing, I really did enjoy the locale, it was definately access friendly for all. The IMATS staff were amazingly sweet and accomadating...thanx you guys!!!!!<br />
<br />
Now... I was pleasantly surprised by most of the vendors especially EYE KANDY and NAKED and dissapointed in 1(one)!! Let's just get to that, INGLOT!! That had to be the most unorganized booth I had ever seen!! The holiday rush at the mall is more organized than that was...yeeeessssh! I was literally on line for two and half hours before I even came close to the booth itself. When I finally got there people were jumping the line and trying to get in and choosing there colors which meant other people couldn't pick there's, it was such a mess!!! :(<br />
<br />
I did manage to meet a couple of my favorite guru's Koren from Enkore Makeup and Julieg713 even though I only got a picture with Koren...lol....I'm such a spazzzz!!! I also got to meet Tate from Face-Off!!!! <br />

Just wanted to share one of my dupe finds for YSL Radiant Touch Touche Éclat Concealer Pen which you can find at any drugstore that sells the Milani products. I also found the weight on the product and your definately getting more with the YSL but it still doesn't justify spending $40.00 on a concealer when I can get a similar product for $6.99!!!! Hope you like!! :) <br />
<br />
The description of the products are very similar;<br />

Just wanted to share my buys and thoughts on the new Wonder Woman Collection from MAC!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I was so excited to go to the store and finally get some of the stuff. I knew what I wanted and unfortunately the only thing I didn't get that I wanted was the colored mascaras!! :(<br />
<br />
I didn't get any of the eyeshadows, I just felt that they weren't unique enough to splurge the money on them and the lipglasses were just way to big. Don't get me wrong your getting a great deal for the amount of product, but I would never use all that lipgloss, it would take me a couple of years...LOL....but I did get some great pieces!!! <br />
<br />
What I did get.....<br />
<br />

<strong><span id="fb_title">Bigger, Sexier Eyes</span></strong><br />
First, reach for liner. Skip black — like an LBD, it narrows your shape — and use a colored one to define your top lash line, says celebrity makeup artist Carmindy. (Blues and greens not your thing? Reach for slate, which looks awesome on everyone.) Now, swipe a shimmery white shadow onto your inner corners in a sideways V shape to catch light, which widens eyes. Finally, make your eyelash curler your BFF. Crimping the top lash line angles hairs so tips are closer to your brows, expanding the entire eye area. Immediately lock in the curve with two coats of lengthening mascara. Try: <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/catalog/Eyeshadow/Idol-eyes-Creme-Shadow-Pencil/ID=prod5479139&navCount=1&navAction=push-product?V=G&ec=frgl_516833&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku5478004" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wet n Wild Idol Eyes,</a> $2 each<br />
<br />
<span id="fb_title"><br />
<strong>Plush, Pillowy Lips</strong></span><br />
Grab a colorless lip balm with shimmer, and apply it to the skin just above your cupid's bow — the area below your nose and between the peaks of your top lip. Adding light to that area creates the illusion of larger lips, explains Carmindy. Then apply a moisturizing lipstick. Hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, bind pout-plumping water to your mouth. Make sure it has a high-shine finish; matte versions don't reflect light. Finish with a swipe of the shimmery balm on the center of your bottom lip. Try: <a href="http://www.sallyhansen.com/product.cfm?product=10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sally Hansen Full and Radiant Lip Definer,</a> $9.95<br />
<br />
<strong>Perfect-Looking Skin</strong><br />
Using a concealer brush, apply cover-up to any pimples, making short, quick motions, like you're spackling. Why a brush? The tapered bristles can get into the crevices of a blemish better than your fingers can, says Mally Roncal, celeb makeup artist in NYC. Be sure your concealer is made with zit-zapping salicylic acid; two separate formulas (zit cream and cover-up) layered won't stick to skin. Set everything in place with a skin-tone matching powder. Try: <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446216416&afsrc=1&site_refer=GGLBASE001&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=3348900779679" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dior Concealer Brush,</a> $22 <span id="fb_title"><br />
</span><strong><br />
</strong><span id="fb_title"><strong>Killer Cheekbones</strong></span><br />
To make round cheeks look more chiseled, you'll need a highlighting powder and a bronzer that's two shades darker than your skin tone. (Get both in a multicolor palette, like the one at left.) Make a fish face, and dust the bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks. Smile, then brush the highlighter from the apples of your cheeks to your temples. "The contrasting tones define and shape cheekbones," says Los Angeles makeup artist Joanna Schlip.

<span id="fb_title"><br />
</span><span id="fb_title"><strong>Uniform Brows</strong></span><br />
If you've tried filling in a brow scar without much luck, check this out. "The skin on a scar is smoother and has fewer pores, so pencils and fine powders just don't adhere," says Carmindy. Tinted waxes or creams are a better-sticking option. Choose one in a shade that matches your brows, and make short, light strokes in the direction of hair growth. Finish by blending color through the entire brow (not just the bald spot) for an even, believable shape. Try: <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/catalog/Brows/ColorStay-Brow-Enhancer/ID=prod5428894&navCount=1&navAction=push-product?V=G&ec=frgl_521169&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku5427758" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer Tinted Wax,</a> $9<br />
<br />
<span id="fb_title"><strong>A Tinier Forehead</strong></span><br />
Bangs will instantly fill the gap between your brows and hairline. But if you'd rather not make the cut, reach for a matte bronzer (shimmer will spotlight the area's size) and a big powder brush. "Bronzer creates a shadow, helping a too-large area appear smaller," says Schlip. Swirl bristles into the bronzer, and tap off any excess to keep the shade light and natural. Sweep the brush along your hairline from temple to temple several times then in circles to blend.

<span id="fb_title"><strong></strong></span></div><div class="post-body cls"><span><strong>A Slimmer Nose</strong></span><br />
Shrink a larger or wider nose with this two-pronged attack: Apply your usual foundation to your nose, then swipe a streak of highlighter down the center of its bridge and back up in a straight line. "The paler color sandwiched between the foundation-coated skin will make the sides of your nose appear darker and slimmer in seconds," says Carmindy. Set with translucent powder, which won't darken the illusion.Try: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Avon-mark-Bright-Hook-Highlighter/dp/B001UA8J4I" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mark Hook Up Highlighter in Natural,</a> $6</div>sandracBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554377620292314867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032131310643039573.post-309407160109901302011-02-22T11:17:00.000-08:002011-02-22T11:21:35.015-08:00Loving These New Trends!!!!!!<div id="canvas"><div id="hdr_holder"><div id="hdr"><div id="hdr_inner"><div id="hdr_bg"><div id="logo_png"></div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/" id="logo_link">Style.com</a> <br />

<br />
Like beauty editors, celebrities get sent tons of makeup, hair, and skin products—after all, which beauty company wouldn't want A-lister X or teen star Y talking up their stuff? So, of everything they try, which do they go back to again and again? We got the scoop on the beauty goods these seven leading ladies keep in stock.<strong><br />
</strong><strong>Amy Adams:</strong> She played a tough girl in <em>The Fighter</em>, but in real life, Adams has a girly side: She loves pink lip gloss—in particular, <a href="http://www.jouercosmetics.com/products/2/list.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jouer Lipgloss in Mirage</a>. According to her makeup artist, Steve Sollito, she orders it by the dozens.<br />
<br />
<strong>Natalie Portman:</strong> Despite her insane schedule over the past year (what film <em>hasn’t</em> she been in?), Portman’s skin always looks flawless. Her secret weapon? According to makeup artist Jeanine Lobell, Portman is loyal to <a href="http://www.joelle-ciocco.com/english/fiche.php?reference=10981O" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joelle Ciocco Sensitive Cleansing Milk</a>.<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
Kelly Ripa:</strong> When you tape a daily, live TV show, your hair takes a beating (think intense blow-drying, curling, and flatironing). Ripa has her hairstylist, Oscar Blandi, apply a few drops of his <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P57300" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jasmine Oil</a> to her damp hair before styling to prevent fuzz and enhance shine.<strong><br />
<br />
Kim Kardashian:</strong> At the SAG Awards, Kardashian tweeted that she left her false lashes at home and was batting her real ones on the red carpet. So what mascara tube does she always have on hand? “I love <a href="http://www.anastasia.net/product.php?productid=16173&cat=250&page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia’s [Lash Lifting] Mascara</a>. When you use it, it kind of creates these little tubes that go over your lashes. It doesn’t clump up,” Kardashian has told us. P.S. She’s a fan of <a href="http://www.anastasia.net/product.php?productid=16196&cat=249&page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia’s brow kit</a>, too.<br />
<strong><br />
Gwyneth Paltrow:</strong> Some celebrities slather on luxe face creams to keep their skin dewy and radiant. But Paltrow prefers something of a different texture: <a href="http://www.oliolusso.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rodin Olio Lusso</a>, a golden-colored oil. “I have really dry skin, and I like using this oil on my face—it smells amazing. Your skin gets that really hydrated glow,” she has told us.<br />
<br />
<strong>Olivia Wilde:</strong> Not only does Wilde’s hair undergo dramatic dye jobs for different movie roles (sometimes bleach blonde; sometimes jet black), but the sun takes its toll, too. “I live at the beach, so I coat my hair in <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/products/face/100-organic-argan-oil" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Josie Maran Argan Oil</a> year-round; it keeps my hair healthy despite the harshness of the sun and the sea,” Wilde has told us.<br />
<br />
<strong>Blake Lively:</strong> The uptown Gossip Girl doesn't scrimp when it comes to beauty. She told us she wears <a href="http://www.yslbeautyus.com/lipstick/makeup-lipstick,default,sc.html" rel="nofollow">Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks</a> ("In matte neon colors") and <a href="http://www.cremedelamer.com/templates/products/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5778&PRODUCT_ID=PROD2459" rel="nofollow">Crème de la Mer moisturizer.</a><br />
<br />
<strong>Victoria Beckham:</strong> The budding designer (and cover girl of the March issue of Allure) doesn't leave home without her lip gloss. "Wherever I go, I've always got my <a href="http://www.lancome-usa.com/Juicy-Tubes/1000398,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow">Lancôme Juicy Tubes</a>," she told us.sandracBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554377620292314867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032131310643039573.post-48494342015226944962011-02-17T09:39:00.001-08:002011-02-17T10:51:54.250-08:00Purchase your Urban Decay Naked Palette Today!!!!<a href="http://e2ma.net/go/6966702780/208470065/219683432/1405718/goto:http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/NakedPalettewithBrush.cfm?LID=NEW2817" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img alt="Naked Palette with Brush" border="0" height="285" src="http://www.urbandecay.com/img/email/17022011/naked1.5_2011email_3_02.jpg" width="400" /></a>sandracBGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554377620292314867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032131310643039573.post-35624868779314726362011-02-14T11:20:00.000-08:002011-02-14T11:20:55.858-08:00Best Makeup for Your Valentine's Day Look<h1> </h1><div class="attr cls"><div class="badge partner"><span></span></div><div><ul><li class="last">by <a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/blog/HYAM5FQUFGIUMSKWOGFOCJYUWI/"><span class="author">Good Housekeeping</span></a>, </li>

Read on to find out which makeup products she thinks are key to creating a romantic look.<br />
<br />
<strong>A Great Eyeliner</strong><br />
Liquid liner, which makes your eyes look dramatic, is perfect for a date. I use it on my upper lash line to make it look thicker. My fave: <a href="http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=726&dept=2&cat=7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Stila Stay All Day Eyeliner">Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner</a>, which came out tops in our <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-testing/reviews-tests/health-beauty/waterproof-eyeliners?link=emb&dom=yah_life&src=syn&con=blog_goodhousekeeping&mag=ghk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">waterproof eyeliner test</a>. The felt-tip pen-like applicator is so easy to use, it's hard to mess up! Plus, it really will stay on all night. If you're not into trying liquid liner, my other recommendation is Lancome Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner. This product goes on so smoothly you'd think there's no way it won't smudge, but you'll be surprised. It stays exactly where you put it. <strong><br />

A Flirty Lipgloss</strong><br />

I've been using <a href="http://www.djv-beautenizer.com/usa/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="djv beautenizer">d.j.v. beautenizer</a> Volume Lash for the past few weeks and have become a big fan of its "3-D Film Coating Formula" that thickens the lashes while also making them look longer. Best of all, it's never clumpy. <strong><br />
