Ok as it is, I have no “extra” time!  But, when this idea was passed on to me from my friend Jenn at Klean I new I had to make time!  I have only done this for two days and it has already been a stress reliever.  I find myself going to bed at night thinking of things I can do or give anonomously as it makes me feel so much better.

 
I think by the end of this whole 29 day ordeal I am going to sign up again! Or maybe I wont have to sign up, maybe by then I will just give freely and daily without even having to think about it…….

That Sunny Glow
Say goodbye to dry, dull winter skin. Literally!

The tools:
- baby oil
- bar of Ivory soap
- loofah mitt

I got this tip from Lola Red about shedding drab skin and revealing your inner glow. Hollywood starlets have been doing it for years, and here I am to share the secret. (DISCLAIMER: This may be a cheap trick, but it can be incredibly messy!)

I have never done this but, when my kids and husband are out of the house for awhile I will break out the Loofah and maybe go for the shower instead of the tub.  I dont want to have to scrub the tub for hours afterwards as it brings back to many memories of taking a bath after my mom soaked in Baby Oil.  I was 12 at the time and jumped in the tub when she was finished to wash my hair, unfortunately when I went to dry it,  all of the left over baby oil was stuck to my hair.  I had to hurry as we were going to a wedding and didn’t have time to rewash it, my mom said it looked fined.  But, when I looked in the bathroom mirror at the reception it looked like I had not washed my hair for weeks. It was devastating and I refused to take baths for 3 years after that.  I stuck to showers and rinsed multiply times!  Today, I just stay away from oil period in any form in my tub!  Not just because of the hair thing but I now fear slipping and killing my self in the tub!

The trick:
1. Fill your bathtub with hot water.
2. Place a towel on the floor next to the tub.
3. Strip down and load your body with baby oil.
4. Dip the Ivory soap and loofah into the water, then rub together to coat the loofah with the soap.
5. Standing or sitting on the towel, start at your feet and scrub every inch of your hot bod until your skin is pink. (You will obviously want to load up the loofah with Ivory numerous times during the process.)
6. Once you have scrubbed to the max, slide into the warm tub and watch the dull, drab skin slip off! (Note: The bath water will be disgusting. You, on the other hand, will be a stunner!)
7. Slather yourself with fab self-tanner for some faux glow!

My Niece was married this month and I was lucky enough to be asked to do her makeup.  I love chatting with all of you that visit our website and creating colors and products can be so much fun but, one of my favorite things to do is apply Makeup.

 

I love watching the transformation take place on someones face.  My Niece is a beautiful girl without a stitch of makeup, but to see her on her wedding day with her hair up, makeup done and her wedding gown on was a breathtaking transformation. 

 

Speaking of transformations, how did this little girl go from walking down
the aisle 19 years ago  with her cousin (my stepson) on my wedding day turn into
the beautiful Bride Below? 
 
Where does time go?
 

  I have added some photos for you to view and wish all of you a “beautiful day every day”!


 The Makeup Artist Table

Applying Eye Shadow

Close up of Eyes before False lashes are applied.
 
Foundation, Finishing Silk, Color Booster, Eyes and now a small amount of lip liner.
Gloss will be added once the dress is on!

The Bride is Ready and isn’t she beautiful!

Here’s a Close Up!

Foundation - Mixture of Natural Buff, Radiance and I added some Cherub Dust for a glow.
Afterglow on the Cheeks, Chin, and Nose
Highlighting layer of Cherub Dust on the upper cheeks
On the eye - I added a layer of Oyster from lid to below brow, then added Amethyst with a hint of Medallion in the crease.  Then Highlighted with Oyster below the brow bone again and in the corners of the eye. I then added a wet liner of Amethyst after she drew in a line with her waterproof liner to show me how thick she wanted the line.  A few lashes on the corners a little liner on the lips, mascara and some gloss make for a lovely bride.

 

 

Also in honor of Nicole’s Wedding I am creating a Mineral Makeup Bridal Kit with the colors that were used on her for the wedding.  You will be able to choose your own foundation but the rest of the kit will be pre-made and ready to go!
