Eye Spy

/

So, other than Ke$ha, most of us don't wear neon eye shadow on a daily basis or EVER. I must say though, colorful eyeshadow is SOOO pretty when I see it in fashion shows and makeup ads. It makes me want to rush over to M.A.C. and have them paint my eyelids cobalt blue, and reminds me that makeup application is truly an art form!!!

Fuzzy vs. Frizzy

/

Yes, there is a difference between fuzzy and frizzy, and being a curly haired brunette that used to live in 100% humidity in Houston, Texas and now living in Phoenix, Arizona, I DEFINITELY know the difference between fuzzy and frizzy. Below, is the perfect example of the difference. Frizzy on the left, fuzzy on the right.

AND I WANT FUZZY!!!

In the next couple of weeks Miss Promise and I are doing a fun little photo shoot where WE will actually be the models, and we're going for some major FUZZY hair. Our hair stylist, Kim Cornwell, did a test style on my hair and I'm SOOO pumped to add the makeup and fashion.

To me, fuzzy just looks natural and free. For the first time I feel like it's actually fashionable to have billions of fly-aways considering for the past five years anti-frizz serums have been the number one product salons have pushed for me to purchase. haha!

So, embrace the fuzz right now before long, sleek hair comes back in style and check out some inspiration below.

Foundation

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a nice long week in Vieques, Puerto Rico this past week. Even though I got sick while I was there, I was able to really relax and spend quality time with friends.

Of course, when you head to an island or a beach you don't really pack much other than comfortable clothes and bathing-suits. So, my husband and I did the whole carry-on thing to make travel easier. BUT it sure did make the whole 3 oz liquid thing hard because I couldn't bring all of the makeup I usually wear.

So, in preparation for the trip I decided to buy a drugstore foundation that wouldn't clog my pores, that fit the 3 oz. requirement, that had a decent SPF and was cheap. Almay's Smart Shade Anti-Aging Makeup was my choice and boy did I choose a winner. Forget Makeup Forever and Lorac! This is now my foundation of choice. It has an SPF of 20, it changed color as my skin tanned slightly and didn't clog my pores.

I HIGHLY recommend it if you're looking to save money and if you want a GREAT foundation. You can buy it at any Walgreens or CVS.

I'm a blush girl. Other than well defined eye brows, blush is that item that I never walk out of the house without. There are many days when I don't put a thing on my lips, but I can't think of a day when I didn't brush on some blush.

I'm not talking scary doll face like above.

I'm talking the "it's cold outside cheeks just pinched look." Anyone else with me? NARS and Benefit have been my brand of choice for the past two years. Does anyone out there have a favorite blush they recommend?
