Bushy Brows and Lashes!!!

Doesn't everyone want longer fuller lashes/eyebrows?
I know I do!

As time has gone by(when I say time I mean as I get older) I've seen a big difference in my eyebrows. I use to have very full and defined brows and had to get them threaded or waxed regularly. Within the last 2 years I've noticed that I haven't had to get my brows done and  that's because they aren't growing in!  I think brow are a very important feature to your face, and im starting to freak out. So with the thinning of my brows I began to look at my options.

Option 1Eyebrow TattooI've looking into eyebrow tattooing, which can look great as long as it's done right. This is the most extreme of the options because obviously this is a tattoo on your FACE and if they mess up, then you'll have to live with it!! Eeek! Scary!

Option2RapidlashRapidlash has come out with Rapidbrows ! I've heard a few people talk about how Rapidlash worked for them as long as you use it regularly for at least 6 weeks. You could also use Rapidlash on your brows so im not too sure what the difference between the two would be. Well, this product is usualy about $50 and I wasn't sure about spending that on something that may not work!!

Option3L'Oreal Lash Boosting Serum
Let me start off by saying I would never think to try this just because it's a cheaper version of Rapidlash and find it hard to believe that this product would work. A few weeks ago I saw that a blogger posted a review of this product and she absolutely loved the product!! After that I had to do my research!! Surprisingly I found a lot of great reviews on this and of course I had to go out and purchase it. I purchased the product at CVS for $15 and just started using it this week. You just apply to your lashes(brows for me) two times a day (morning,night). And yes I took a before picture to compare it to after a few weeks!! Hope this works!! Yea to bushy brows!!! =)

Leave me a comment with any recommendations or products that you love, I'd love to hear from you!!

Polish & Pearls  <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEDpK-8oAno

Here's a Few Tips:
*The chalk might come off on your shirt-try not to wear white or do this on a rainy day
*Do not brush your hair too much after you chalk, it will come off on your brush and get everywhere.
*Do NOT put any wax, styling creams or anything on the "chalked hair" as it will make a huge, greasy mess!
*Don't forget to condition your hair after you was the chalk out because it is very drying.
*If any chalk comes off on your flat iron or curling iron, it wipes off easily.

End Results!!

For all my Moms out there!

For all the Moms out there

This post is a little bit different then any of my others. Considering 3 of my friends are pregnant and glowing, I decided to do a post aimed towards them and all the other baby bumps out there. 

DIY Baby Wipes

 They are very simple to make and cheap. You need a 3 quart container that has a lid, bounty paper towels, baby oil, baby soap and water. Cut the paper towel roll in half. Remove the cardboard from the center. Put the roll into your container. Mix 1 Tbs. baby oil, 1 tsp. baby soap, and 2 Cups water together. Pour the mixture over the paper towels and you have wipes. They actually work very well. I decided to fancy my container up a little bit because I was bored yesterday and I glued the recipe to the back so that I always know where it is.

DIY Butterfly Mobile

What a great baby shower gift!! Instead of butterflies you can use truck or cars for the boys!!

Top Bronzers

 My Bronzed Goddesses

I know I haven't been blogging in a while and I'm so sorry.If I could blog all day trust me I would,but life gets in the way! I get a lot of questions about what are my favorite bronzers I use. Typically I don't wear foundation because I just don't feel like I need it, so I'll put bronzer on my whole face and contour my cheeks with a darker bronzer. I've never been a fan of shimmery/glittery bronzers but I think as long as they are used in moderation to brighten and lighten then it's ok.

Physician Formula
There's are by far my favorite bronzers! They are so affordable and provide great coverage and color. I love how they have so many different shades and styles, there's one to fit any skin tone!
Here are just a few of my favorites!
$10-$15

Nars-Casino
This bronzer is great because of the color! It's a dark brown with a hint of shimmer which is great in the summer. I use this for contouring year round.
$34

Benefit- Hoola
This powder is like Barbados in a box! Sweep Hoola across the chin, cheeks, and forehead with the accompanying brush for a healthy. Completely Matte!!
$28

Positive Energy

I love sharing things I absolutely love with you guys

 in hopes that you will get as much joy out of it as I have.

I believe a lot of things in life are mental in the fact that
they come from within. Your life is all about what you make out of it, what makes some people happy will have no value to others. 

I wanted to share with you a few book I think everyone should read.

 I truly feel as though they can completely change the way you see life, showing you how to change negative energy into positive energy. The more you surround yourself with the positive the more positive things are going to gravitate towards you.

The Secret: The Power 

by Rhonda Byrne

This book will show you the way to an amazing life.

Quotes in the book

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." Epictetus

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice." William Bryan

"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into it" Mother Teresa

The Secret: The Magic

by Rhonda Byrne

This book will take you on a journey for the next 28 days, as you discover how magical our lives  truly can be.

Quotes in the book

 " A thankful person is thankful under any circumstance." Bahaullah

"Turn your wounds into wisdom." Oprah Winfrey

A Simple Act of Gratitude

by John Kralik

How learning to say thank you can change your life.

This book is filled with uplifting stories about how a simple thank you

 note can make  such a huge impact on someones life.

I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down

by Jennifer Hudson

"This is the honest and inspirational story of dreaming big, winning big,
and losing big, by one of today's most-beautiful voices and brightest Hollywood stars."

Quote from the book

"Early on, I remember one of the musical directors from
America Idol telling me that everything about me was too big. 

She said my voice was too big, my size was
 too big, and my personality was to big.    
  "Isn't that was being a star is?" I asked.

 " Stars are larger than life"'

March Favorites!

Hello loves! 

So about a month ago I went on one of my shopping trips to Ulta. I wanted to wait before posting a review on the products to make sure I really love them before recommending them to you. These products have easily become my absolute favorites! 

Lashes Lashes

Ardell Double Lashes in #203

Who doesn't want full long lashes? Yes these are a little bit dramatic but perfect for a night out. I totally recommend there's for a special occasion that you're going to have lots of pictures taken. These will make your eyes look amazing in photos. 

Eos-Honeydew

 Yummmmy! Smells so good I just to eat it! And makes your lips super soft! 

Too Faced Natural Face 

Okay so when I walked into Ulta I went in looking for a concealer palette. I asked around and of course they didn't have any, but she directed me towards a few other concealers they had. I found this and wasn't really sure about it because I figured I'd never use the other products it came with. After playing around with that I totally love it! Make your skin look bright and glowy without all the shimmer. Perfect for any skin tone!

Spring, Im waiting for you!

I'm so excited for spring!

 One of the easiest ways for us to create a look is to change our nails! 

Spring and Summer colors are so much fun! They can instantly put a smile on your face!

I wanted to change things up a bit and add some more life to my nails.

 I wanted something colorful and this is what I came up with!

1.) Your going to want to start with a clear base coat.

2.) Paint your entire nails with a white polish.

3.) Using a long thin design brush polish (like below) 

 Start drawing C's almost like a circle but not connecting two ends

4.) Draw a few more of those "not connected" circles and add a dot to any empty space

5.) Choose some bright colors =) 

6.) Add one dot of any color to the middle of the "not circles" C's then finish with a top clear coat

 

Your look is complete!

I'm also so excited to let you know I will have some videos coming soon!!

I think that the videos will be a lot easier for you guys then just photos!

Leave me some comments on what you'd love to see!!

Giuseppe Zanotti Heel-Less Shoes

Ummmm REALLY??

I love them! I do, I do, I do!!! But the question is can I walk in them?? 

How the hell does anyone walk in them??
So I totally youtubed it and ya people do walk in them but I can't imagine it being easy.

After doing some research on these shoes ( because I'm weird like that I guess) I came across the designer Giuseppe Zanotti. His is the creator of the 70's African inspired shoes pictured above.

I found his story to be very interesting and inspiring because he launched his company in 1993 and not even 10 years later he has boutiques in Milan, New York, Paris, London, and Dubai.

"His creations are true to his initial inspirations, where art and music are essential feelings to be turned into style for our feet… feet that Zanotti does not want to cover with models, but rather to adorn out of regard for a woman’s beauty and for the world revolving around her." 

Read more about him on his website!
