Our Eyes Show Our Age....The Limbal Ring

I recently read a article from Allure Magazine,  What Is Your Face Telling the World? .  The article is about how quickly people judge others and form opinions about them in a matter of seconds. It shows the significance a first impression makes. Is it right that people make these quick judgments? I say no, but apparently, we all do it. Reason enough to visit The Juicy Beauty Word for your beauty tips, right? Anyway, the thing in the article that caught my eye, was the visibility of the limbal ring.  What is the limbal ring? The limbal ring is the dark circle around the colored part (the iris) of the eye. It separates the colored part of the eye from the white part (the sclera) of the eye.  It is said that we unconsciously notice this quickly when we look at someone.  The limbal ring becomes less prominent as we age or when we are in ill health.

Pink Armpit Hair Removal!

First it was Lady Gaga with blue armpit hair. Now we have Miley Cyrus with pink armpit hair. I don't know about you, but I remove armpit hair no matter what color it is! 😆 Waxing in my favorite choice for hair removal. It is quite annoying to let the hair grow to be waxed, but it is well worth it. I can get your underarms super smooth!  See me at Styling Point in Media, Pa.! There is no dark shadow left behind like there is with shaving. There is no stubble. The skin is left super smooth. The more you wax, the finer the hair gets.

Your waxer can trim it for you if the idea of sharp scisso

Spring Bridal Makeup at Normandy Farm

Photo by Danielle Coons http://daniellecoons.com/ Saturday, May 2, was an absolutely beautiful day for a wedding at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, Pa! The color theme was purple. The makeup style w as a dramatic smokey eye with an understated lip. The bride chose a plumy smokey eye and a nude pink lip.  Fiber lash extensions made everyone's lashes long and gorgeous! The bridesmaid's smokey shadow choices were pink and gray or gray green or purple. I did all three shadow combinations and did mostly a pink nude lip. I used a peachy lip on the bridesmaid who chose the gray green smokey eye which complemented her red hair nicely. Blush was soft rosy pink with a touch of luminizer. Bronzer was kept to a minimum on their beautiful light skin.  The bride wore her hair down and softly curled with the front pulled back in a poof. The bridesmaids wore side swept ponytails that were softly curled. They all looked fabulous! Here are a few photos: Photo by
