The Juicy Beauty Word

Ooo la la! Look at these gorgeous eye shadow colors!  It's the Too Faced Natural Love Ultimate Neutral Eye Shadow Palette.  A Mother's Day gift from one of my daughters. She knew I would love the colors.💖 The packaging is delicate and beautiful looking and has a nice size mirror inside. This palette is a limited edition 30 shade eye shadow collection. It has has 7 mattes, 13 shimmers and 10 sparkles. Some of the colors are from previous Too Faced palettes: Natural Eyes, Natural Matte, Natural Night, plus new shades. I find if fabulous for creating sexy, soft looking shimmery eyes. It comes with a little booklet that contains a glamour guide with instructions for creating 6 different looks. The colors look very bold in the pictures but are not that bold looking on the skin in reality. I have read some really terrible reviews of this palette. I don't know why they are so terrible. It's true, some of the shadows are soft and create fallout. Also, some colors do...

The weather is warming up. It's time to take good care of your skin while you're outside in the sun so you don't get a nasty sunburn that ends up peeling.  The sun's rays are strong and it's easy to get burnt quickly when you are outside enjoying the weather. There are certain times of day when you need to be extra careful. Hours to Avoid the Strongest Sun The sun's rays are strongest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daylight savings time. I know, it's they're the best hours to be out doing summer thing like going to the beach! You can still do fun things in the sun. You just have to be careful and wear the magic cream. The best way to prevent a sunburn is to apply a good full spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. I call it the magic cream!  Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you go out in the sun to allow the sunscreen to bind with the proteins in your skin.  For more sunburn protection at the beach, look at the shadows.  Go to the be...

From time to time you may find you need to cover up your tattoo. Maybe you are getting married or are in a wedding and you want to hide it. Maybe your family doesn't approve of tattoos and you want to hide it from them. Or perhaps your job requires you to cover any tattoos. Whatever your reason, a good concealer made to cover tattoos will do the job.  My favorite is Tattoo Camo. I've used it to cover tattoos, spider veins, bruises and dermatofibromas.

I recently discovered that many people don't know the answer to that question even some folks who work at Ulta. My daughter stopped in at our local Ulta store to shop for makeup for a vegan friend. She consulted a sales associate to point out the vegan brands. The associate quickly pulled out her list of cruelty free brands as a list for vegan brands. The answer to the question "Are cruelty free products vegan?" is sometimes but not always. Cruelty free means the cosmetic product and it's ingredients have not been tested on laboratory animals. Alternative, highly precise non animal testing methods, such as in-vitro testing, are used to determine product safety instead of torturing caged animals.  Vegan means free from animal ingredients and animal by products. Animal includes insects, too. Carmine, honey, beeswax and milk which are a few animal derived ingredients. A cosmetic may be cruelty free yet contain animal ingredients. For example, Burt's Bees is a...
