10 Rules for Beauty

1. Always Wash Your Face Before Putting on Makeup A clean canvas is best for creating art. Don’t give yourself a disadvantage and start out with dirty skin.

Some of the most beautiful women in history (and Hollywood, politics, the modeling industry, Sears catalogs…) have had distinctive features that they probably hated about themselves at one point or another. Take that as a cue to love yourself — not just in spite of your “flaws” but because of them. Besides… If we all looked exactly the same, there wouldn’t be anything beautiful...

Stay Fresh After a Flight

If you’re flying, keep an airplane safe container with you containing a few drops of your favorite facial-moisturizer with a few sprays of Fix+ spray mixed in. After your flight, splash your face with water, and then use that blend to revitalize your skin! Check out my post on What to Wear for a Flight - the 5 Essentials for Flying here.

How to Get That Adhesive Gunk Off Anything

Today’s Tip isn’t so much makeup related as it is house-hold-items/problems related… but it does make use of a makeup-related item! You know when you’re peeling a sticker off of an item, and 90% of the sticker is stuck on there? And no matter what you do, only the top layer will come off…? The solution? EYE MAKEUP REMOVER! I had a sticker that would not get off...

Half-Moon Manicure

The Half-Moon Manicure is my absolute favorite. Evidently, this classy nail trend is a throwback to the 20’s through the 40’s, where the base/part closest to the cuticle of the nail was left bare, and the remainder was painted a deep red. Above: Dita Von Teese w/ the half-moon mani. Image via Glamour.com Today, Dita Von Teese rocks this look regularly, and in the last few years...

NAKED - Look Une

If you haven’t already, check out my review of the Urban Decay NAKED palette here (cliffs: AWESOME palette, buy it). One of my favorite looks to create using the Naked palette is shown below. I wanted to keep it neutral but glamorous, and smoke out the outer-corners. I wanted really lush-looking pretty eyes that seemed natural. How to Create it: First prime your lids with the mini UDPP...

Get NAKED - My Review of the Urban Decay Naked...

Remember that time I prematurely called the Urban Decay Naked palette one of my favorites for the month… even though I didn’t have it yet? My logic was, I didn’t even have to use it to know I would love it. Well it just came in a few days ago… so now I can assess it with the aid of experience… And OHMIGOD — it is amazing. The outside is a soft, smooth...

The Purpose of Make-up →

Excerpt from an article on learningtomakefaces.com A Roman philosopher once wrote, “A woman without paint is like food without salt.” Make-up has been around since ancient history. Originally it was mainly used as decoration for both males and females along with other purposes such as warding off spirits or as a symbol of status. Link directs you to the post.

"Would You Rather" Tag!

Makeup-related Tag from le midge Questions: 1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up? Nice hair, no make-up.

Neither sounds appealing, but falling-lashes sounds like a...

la-di-dah-di-dah asked: Hey!

Thanks for following me :)

I like reading your product reviews, especially the one about the contacts. They look so natural! I am jealous...... Were they very expensive? I'm Asian and so I don't think they would look natural at all on me, but would it be worth it to buy a pair 'just for fun' for costume parties and such?
