Makeup: Lipstick as Concealer

The beauty product that I use the most is a concealer because of the dark circles under my eyes. When I have had a good night's rest, work out regularly and my eating habits focuses on the healthier side, there are no dark circles to worry about. Unfortunately, 90% of the time, I can't do that as often as I would like. Because as a mom, wife, full-time employee and everything else in between, life happens!

  I usually use a regular under eye concealer, natural or sometimes dark beige.  The concealer doesn't always give a smooth finish, because it shows up, or doesn't give good coverage if I don't use a lot, and most times by the end of the day, it's gone, along with most of my makeup, because I wear light makeup when I go to work.  

Good news!  I've found an even better way to cover those dark circles. By using red or pink lipstick, blending well, then applying loose powder, the dark circles disappear!  What?  Yes, it works, and that's the new makeup hack I've been using. I created a photo Vlog showing you how I do it. If using a concealer is a part of your beauty routine, try my suggestion and let me know what you think.  If your complexion is lighter than mine, I recommend using a coral or light pink lipstick instead of red or bright pink. 


See the photo vlog I posted to You Tube. If it goes too fast just use the pause button to read my instructions. Let me know if you would try it. If not, what tricks do you use when you apply your makeup?

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...

Society's Never-ending Debate - Who is Plus Sized?

The debate continues about women who are curvier, heavier, plus sized...whatever your favorite terminology is for women who are not Size 0-14, or in the fashion world, Sizes X0-4! In 2014 I wrote about Designers who were confused about what plus size is and who also didn't want to dress women who were larger than a size 0. Once again in 2016, this debate that constantly has us, full-figured, curvy women, being pitted against the woman who is a size zero or regular size is still an issue today because of the Fashion Models being used by Designers in their fashion shows, the looks of these women being deemed as Plus Size are just not plus size. These days most Designers are also refusing to dress actresses ( Melissa McCarthy , and most recently Leslie Jones ) who are not a size zero is such a thoughtless thing, this kind of insensitivity must end.
