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.

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Tis the season for brides, in fact, it really is ANY season that a bride to be chooses to get married.  However many weddings take place from Spring to Summer.  It must be something about the warm weather coming back, and flowers blooming with that scent in the air...could it be romance?!

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
