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?

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

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! ...
