Make Up For Ever

Found some pretty cool eye lashes from sephora.com. Make Up For Ever has many creative faux designed lashes. Some of these are great for halloween, parties, photo shoots, etc. I want to try them all but that could get pricey.

My advice for today is to get out of your comfort zone and try something new.

Order In The Closet

How would you like your closet to look like a department store display? Ever wonder how they fold their shirts, sweaters, knits, and even towels so perfectly? Thanks to the 
FlipFOLD Laundry Folder, now you can!

We don’t have a Container Store around here so I ordered it online. This thing is so handy I should have bought it a long time ago! I even used this handy laundry folder on my skirts and some of my dresses. My closet looks professional – I absolutely love it! My brother even wants one.

Pigments are so IN Right Now

What’s IN right now in the makeup world is mixing pigments, pressing them, and then behold… a new eyeshadow coloure is born! This whole thing is inspired by one of my favorite makeup artists, Mathieu Francis – and it’s catching the attention of makeup artists around the world!!

MAC Pigments (you can use Loreal Hip Pigments as well) are fabulous. Sky is not the limit with pigments.

Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System

Yesterday I upgraded my Skin-Care products from Nutregena to Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System and I am loving it! I should have converted a long while ago!

Clinique has four different sets: very dry, dry, oily, and very oily. You could also buy the products separately in different combinations. For example, you could buy the oily cleanser with the very oily exfoliate, and gel moisturizer for the very oily face. It’s a pretty nice deal. The products are unscented and it gives a light feel to the face once applied. Clinique’s customer service is superb – after a week they will phone you to inquire about product satisfaction. They will make it work for you. (Follow-ups are always good in the business sense). If you don’t want associates to follow-up with you, you could deny them – no obligations.

The 3-Step Skin Care System is a great buy and I highly recommend it. Try it out for yourself and get a free facial.

February’s Top 10

Below are my Top 10 Favorite Products of February 2008. Actually, these are also my favorite products of all time.

	1. Mac Pro – Lip Erase This product is a lip balm primer to neutralize the color of the lips.The effect is to erase the lip’s natural color so to maximize the true pigment of any lipstick. Mac Lip Erase works wonders for the nude lip look.
	2. Urban Decay – Eyeshadow Primer This primer is well known to be the number one product of its kind. No longer will you worry about shadow creasing, smudging, or caking. Place on your eyelids before applying eyeshadow. Available online at urbandecay.com or in a local dealer.
	3. Acrylic 24-Lipstick Holder Brilliant way to organize your lipstick collection. Fun ways to organize is to uncap every lipstick, place them in the slots, take a digital picture, and then use that to find coloures. This eliminates uncapping the lipstick to view its shade.
	4. Bed Head – After Party Want to get rid of fly aways and smooth out your hair after straightening or curling? Bed Head’s, After Party does the job. It has a light scent.
	5. Model In A Bottle Model In A Bottle is comparable to MAC’s Fix-It Spray. Model in a Bottle is basically a matte finishing spray to hold your makeup in place for long lasting effects. You can purchase a scented or an unscented version.
	6. Prestige Cosmetics – Lipsticks These lipsticks are awesome and inexpensive (approx: $4 at your local drug store), and easy to organize. Just pop the lipstick upside down in an Acrylic lipstick holder and viola! you can see the color without opening the lipstick or memorizing its shade.
	7. Empty Tin Cans These empty tin cans can be purchased at starsmakeuphaven.com. Coincidentally, they fit perfectly in MAC Pallets. The only drawback is that you’ll have to stick magnets at the bottom of the tin – which isn’t too bad. These tins are very helpful for pressing pigments, eyeshadows, and for melting lipstick. Learn how to press pigments by watching EnKoreMakeup’s Video tutorial: click here.
	8. MAC – Vanilla Pigment This is a must have for any makeup lover. $20 is all worth it for the possibilities of what the Vanilla Pigment (or any pigment) can do: highlighter, lip balm, body glitter, pressed eyeshadow, mix it with hairspray, etc. Watch PurseBuzz’s, Joys of Vanilla Pigment tutorial.
	9. Salvatore Ferragamo – Incanto Dream – or – Incanto Charm Ever since I purchased Salvatore Ferragamo sunglasses, I was hooked on the designer. I was especially excited to smell his purfume line. My favorite is the Incanto collection: Dream or Charm. If you like Escada, then you will love SF’s Incanto series.
	10. Sonia Kashuk – Brushes If you don’t want to shell out $$$ for MAC Brushes, Sonia Kashuk has decent, quality brushes. Available at any Target stores. I personally love them all! Her cosmetic products aren’t bad either.
