Sunday Funday!!

On a typical day I sit home making jewelry in my sweatpants and hoodies (they might double as pj's) It's not unusual for a week to go by without me seeing or talking to anyone besides my husband. It's easy to slack in the makeup and grown up clothes department but lately I have been wanting to put in a little more effort in my day to day look. So today's Sunday Funday challenge was to try this 4 minute make up post on my favorite blog www.maskcara.com . Cara makes it look SO easy! Although I might have gone over the 4 minutes it was definetly under 10 and do-able for a typical day! Check out the post with video here.

Why yes, that is a hoodie!

Changed into my fancy aqua T Shirt, this little bit of effort got a double take from my husband and a "You sure are pretty!" Worth it!

Silky, Silky...

Every once in  awhile I come across a combination of hair products that make my over processed, color abused hair feel like silk and when I do I want to shout it from the rooftops for all to hear. Please keep in mind all hair types are different but this combo worked miracles on my hair and makes it feel like I had a keratin treatment. (no joke!) I washed it (it felt a little strawish after the washing, never fear!) conditioned, towel dried, oil (about the size of a pea, rub your hands together and apply) and about 5 pumps of the leave in. Here is the combo for you to try:

Terax Hydrating Shampoo. A little pricey but so much cheaper than a keratin treatment! If you are in the Richmond,Va area get it at Look salon in Carytown. (same with the conditioner)

Terax Crema plus Keratin Conditioner

The Ranch Dressing of Leave in Conditioners!

Added to anything and it makes it better! Get it

at Bombshell Brazilian Waxing and Beauty Salon or on Amazon

Crazy, Sexy Lips!

Remember back in the 90's  when Cindy/Naomi/Christie would over draw their lips with dark lip liner and fill them in with lighter lipstick? This is a tweak on that technique that I've been using ever since I saw it in Vogue. After experimenting with different liners I tried this taupe eyeliner. I have tried every lip plumper out there and have not found one to beat this combination. Cover Girl in Smokey Taupe and Sexy Motherpucker Lipgloss I like Candy Gloss but they all go on super sheer so you can't go wrong.

Lightly outline your lips with the pencil, you can go right outside you lip line for the illusion of poutier, pout, and use the smudger to blend the line in towards the center of your lips. Add a layer of gloss (and a dab of something sparkly in the middle of your bottom lip) and you have your perfect lip without the injections!

Instant Face Lift!

I thought I should start out my brand new blog by posting about my absolute, hands down FAVORITE beauty mask. I have been doing face mask since I was a little girl in Wyandotte, Michigan when I found an old paperback book about natural beauty recipes. Egg white masks were  may favorite then and this new fancy mask kinda works the same way. I give you....The Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firm Face Tightner (say that 3 times fast!)

At $48.00 per tube it's a little on the pricey side, I do about 2 masks a week and it lasts me about 3 months. If you aren't a crazy obsessive like I am you could probably it once every 2 weeks or so. 

Before, no makeup, clean skin

If you keep making that face it's going to freeze like that!! 

After, shiny and happy!
