The Juicy Beauty Word

One of my clients raves over It Cosmetics. She loves many of their products, one being Hello Lashes Mascara. It's a cute name for a mascara!  So I decided to give it a go.  It Cosmetic Hello Lashes Details & Review The mascara comes in blackest black. It is not a waterproof mascara. It Cosmetics claims it quadruples the volume of your lashes and you get the look of false lashes. They also say it is a five in one mascara meaning it does the jobs of five different products in one mascara.  It stand for Innovative Technologies by the way. 5-in-1 1. It is a volumizing mascara. 2. It is a primer. 3. It is a peptide based lash conditioner. 4. It is a "tint". (They use the word tint but it doesn't actually tint the lashes. It adds temporary color to your lashes like any other mascara does.) 5. It has Lash Retention Technology so you "never need to use a curler or a comb" and your lashes will stay curled all day.

I have returned from another fabulous trip to my favorite vacation spot....Jamaica! It's a beautiful island full of warm wonderful people and lovable characters you meet on the beach like Fireman and his lobsters.... and Rasta Ralphie on the Catamaran singing a tune and sailing the sea.  The weather is warm, sometimes a little rainy. Liquid Sunshine. There are the lovely tropical flowers, the sounds of the tree frogs and that magnificent clear Caribbean water in shades of aqua, cerulean and turquoise that I have been obsessed with forever!

We had a super fun day at the salon for our Halloween Party! Our theme was the months of the year. I work with a bunch of very creative people. It was interesting to see how each person interpreted their month. The Months of the Year Costumes January wore a tutu and snow flakes. February was decorated in red and hearts with a candy box hat. March was was decked out for St. Patrick's Day. I was April, April Showers. I used blue eye shadow to create my blue lips. I started with an opaque nude pink lipstick. Then, I used a blue eyeliner to line the lips and smudge it onto the lips to blend the line. Next, a smudged on some blue eye shadow. It looked shimmery and iridescent. It stayed on great. May was May Flowers. June was, of course, a June bride..... Halloween style! She used toilet paper and tacky glue to create her zombie torn flesh. July celebrated the 4th of July in red, white and blue. August was soooo creative. Can you guess what she is? She is the ...

Q. Does the nail polish on my fingernails have to match the polish on my toenails? A. Back in the day, the style was, the fingernail polish had to match the toenail polish, but not anymore. The trend now is to coordinate colors but not necessarily match. Many people like to put a bright bold color on their toes and a more subdued coordinating shade on their fingers. Maybe blue toes with silver fingers. Red toes with french fingers. Neon orange toes with coral fingers. Dark purple toes with gray fingers.  The chic monochromatic look is great look too. Let's say all red. Red fingers and red toes to go with a red dress with red shoes and a red bag. Also, the fingernails are often blinged out with nails designs with lots of colors. It's easy to pick out a color from the design to wear on your toes. Most people have a manicure done weekly and toes done monthly. Have a quick polish change done on your toes on your just manicure weeks to keep your fingernail and toe...

It's wedding season! I had the pleasure of doing some makeup for the mother of the groom on Saturday. As a future Mother of the Bride, I know we mother's want to look beautiful, fresh and young looking on wedding day. She had the most gorgeous tan glowy skin. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup normally and didn't want to look over done, but wanted to look a little glitzy to compliment to her fabulous muted gold dress.  My plan was to keep her skin looking dewy, define her brows and eyes, give her eyes a bit of nice metallic shimmer and give her lips a natural but lightly shimmery look. I'll give all the tips and some Amazon Affiliate link to find the best products. Here she is. I think she looks absolutely beautiful! Mother of Groom/ Mother of Bride Makeup Tips A makeup problem with older skin is creasing. The skin needs coverage, but too much foundation and concealer can settle into the natural creases in the skin.  The other issue is the use of powder. To...
