The 10 Beauty Mistakes That Add 10 Years
So its been awhile. I am back now. Here is some tips and tricks to avoid looking older than you should look. I was reading Allure Magazine and saw this and thought I'd share it with you. Enjoy!!
1. Thick Foundation:
Choose a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer (such as Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20), and after you apply it, press a damp makeup sponge into areas where you have wrinkles to soak up any excess.
2. Base that's too light:
Foundation that's paler than your natural skin tone exaggerates fine lines. As you get older if you have olive skin for instance you should go a bit warmer. Switch to a hue that's one or two shades darker and has luminescent particles, such as Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk.
3. Heavy Concealer on dark circles:
The skin under the eyes gets thinner as we age, making thick cover-up look like concrete. Keep it light ( like Lancôme Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer), and apply it with a brush. The brush distributes the color more evenly. And put it only on dark areas, not under the entire eye.
4. Face powder on top of lines:
Powder is fine for reducing shine on the nose and the chin, but on other parts of the face it exaggerates wrinkles and can make skin look too dry. Avoid the eye area completely.
5. Blush on the apples of the cheeks:
It draws attention to sagging skin. Instead, apply color on the highest point on your cheekbones, not too close to the nose, and lift it upward with a brush that's large enough to cover the whole cheekbone. Skip the drama queen shades, too. A neutral rose color flatters all skin tones and really brightens things up. (Like Nars Blush in Mata Hari.)
6. Lipstick that migrates:
Your natural lip line can begin to fade as you age, which makes lipstick more prone to bleeding and feathering. Tracing it with one of the new clear lip liners can help the color stay put.
7. Major lipstick:
Bright colors, dark shades, and anything metallic or iridescent are too heavy for thinning lips. Instead, choose a neutral rose shade. And consider switching from a lipstick to a sheer gloss—it will give you more fullness.
8. Mascara in the lower lashes:
It highlights crow's-feet. And dark circles. Coat your top lashes with the blackest black mascara you can find—it will make the whites of your eyes look clearer and whiter. It's also best to avoid superthick formulas that don't separate easily. Lashes get dryer as we age, making mascara more likely to clump and fall onto your face. (Try Cover Girl LashExact Mascara or Lancôme High Définicils High Definition Mascara.) And don't forget your curler. Curling your lashes is the easiest thing you can do to make your eyes look bigger—and therefore younger.
9. Eyeliner on the lower lashes:
All that does is make your eyes look smaller and draw attention to dark circles. Stick to the upper lids—and make the line thicker toward the outer corners, where eyes have a tendency to droop as we age.
10. Sparkly shadow on the outer corners:
A little shimmer is flattering and keeps eye makeup from looking too stark, but at the outer corners, it magnifies every fine line. Restrict sparkle and shimmer to the inner corners, the centers of the lids, and just on the brow bones.
Hope this helps some of you out there as we age...Take care!

Favourite Beauty Products for March
So the end of March is right around the corner, and I wanted to share with you my favourite products that I am loving! No paticular order.
4. Hempz Herbal Moisturizer
This is a herbal moisturizer is made to hydrate skin using Natural Hemp Seed Extract and pure vitamin E. It also says it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines ad wrinkles, provides up to12 hours of miniaturization and he skin will appear softer and smoother instantly. Now with all those statements I cant help but say its all true. This lotion lasts all day. Usually other lotions I have to reapply. But not with this. The smell is also amazing. Its so refreshing. I rate this product a 5!!

5. Amazing Grace by Philosophy
And for my last item, is this perfume by Philosophy. I think this perfume is so refreshing and clean. This perfume isn't too strong which makes it the perfect day perfume. I think this is the best summer perfume after a long day at the beach. I rate this a 5.

So chicas, here it is. I hope this helps in your next day of some retail therapy or just to shop!
Until next time!

1. Its a 10

My number 3 pick is the China Glaze polish in Make an Entrance. I just made a trip to Sallys and went on a nail polish buying binge. I bought about 5 different colors, and dont get me wrong i LOVE all the colors, but I am really into this color. It such a beautiful purple, just perfect for spring/summer. So ladies, for the spring/summer go for the bright and pastel colors. I rate this product a 5.

This shampoo I just have been using for about a month or so, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Ive used the leave in conditioner before and the last time I got my hair done, my stylist mentioned the shampoo, and of course I had to try this. So lets talk product. At first when I used it, it didn't lather well and I was a little disappointed. Then after using it more and more I realized that my hair had to be SOAKING wet. So now I am noticing my hair to be full soft and easier for me to manage my curls. They say the product is nutrition for your hair. With Vitamin C Sunflower Seed Extract Acai Extract Ginger Pomegranate Tahitian Noni Oil Moringa Extract. I really would recommend this product. I rate this product a 4.5, only cause of the lathering can take a little longer than your typical shampoo but result wise its a great shampoo.

2. Kajal Eye Liner by Stila
So this eyeliner is my all time favourite! I think its my favourite for the whole year!! LOL. This eyeliner is the best and darkest liner I've ever had. They way it applies on my waterline is amazing. Not like other liners where you have to keep on applying over and working up the color, this one is a one swiper! I wouldnt recommend this too much for the lashine or lower. It is really smudgy so you can get bleeding look. But for the waterline I truly truly love. I rate this product also a 4.5.
