Why You should Clean Your Makeup Brush

three makeup brushes we can't live without


You've probably done this before curvy divas, borrowed a friend's makeup brush to put on your makeup, or to correct a makeup flaw...or even to cover a pimple?  I had a bit of a shock when I read that for one woman, doing the latter caused her to be paralyzed!  Why?  Because the makeup brush she used to cover a pimple was not clean.  I can't tell you how often I've told my own daughters to be careful of using other friends makeup and even their makeup tools because it may not be safe.


Gone are the days when I would borrow my friend's lip-gloss or eye pencil.  It seems as if there are more risks involved in the least things you do these days.  I never worried about stuff like that back-in-the day. However today it is different and it pays to be really careful.


I just recently washed my makeup brushes two months ago.  Did you know you're supposed to wash them weekly?  Yes, weekly!  I don't, do you?  I usually don't worry about it because I'm the only one who uses them....until I remember that my daughter likes to raid my makeup and sometimes her friends are also putting makeup on at our house, so this is a information I will be sharing with her.


Please do read the story I am linking below and do share with your daughters and girlfriends.  We love to dress up and wear makeup, doing so safely is very important.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

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...
