Show Me Your Closet

We have discovered that something as easy and simple as a blowout to our hair is a great way to give ourselves a mental boost that not only makes us feel good, but also boost our self esteem.  What other simple things can we do to continue these waves of good feelings?  I often like to wear eye colors, whether it is using eye makeup powder, or eye liner pencils.  I am particular fond of blues and pinks.  Are you?  I find that using makeup to enhance your looks is definitely a way to give yourself a self-esteem boost. I love mixing hues of eye liner pencils, this is Turquoise and Dark Blue However, not everyone likes to wear makeup, or even eye makeup.  Although for some, usually just lip gloss or lip balm will do.  Why not go bold and dare to wear a hint of lip color too?

If you had to have only one makeup for the rest of your life.  Or say you had to leave everything you own except take just one makeup item with you, what would it be? Lipstick? Lip gloss?  Facial Powder?  According to Megan Cahn, the writer of the article I read on Elle.com  who believes that most women makeup of choice would be the mascara.  So she has, with the help of beauty editors and staff from Elle Magazine, put together the 10 best mascaras there is out there for us women. How nice of her curvy divas! Of the ten selections she has made. I have chosen my three (3) favorite.  I haven't used any of these before and will definitely put the ones I like on my want list for this year! The mascara that looks so fake (but your lashes are real)! "The 'They're Rea' mascara is so good, it looks like you're wearing fake eyelashes"! This according to Leah Chernikoff.  Hmmm, no you see why this is one of my three favorites?! Who wouldn't ...

I've always wanted to wear fake eye lashes , after all, I see so many women on the big and small screen, and now so often in real life, do wear them.   Some that are naturally looking do make the wearer look really pretty.  I purchased a pair and the adhesive to hold them; but didn't wear them right away.  They have been sitting in my makeup box for quite a few months.   Then I decided to try them.  It was the weekend, and I was not in the mood to dress up because I had a cold.   However, I decided wearing those lashes would be great to enhance my looks.   That shouldn't be a problem, right?  After putting on some make up, I realized that putting the lashes on was easier said than done.   I couldn't line them up right.  They kept falling off and I was so afraid to stick myself in the eye!  One of them was so much better than the other, one fitted great, the other, not so much !           ...

When it comes to us curvy divas , you know the world is looking at you wherever you go. Am I right, or am I right?  What, they don't do that to you?  Hmmm, that means you might need to amp it up a bit so that you can be remembered wherever you go! What is the first thing that someone will notice about you when they meet you?  No, besides that gorgeous outfit that you're rocking!  The next thing they will remember is not whether you have fresh breath or not, it is how beautiful your skin is!  At any age, having great skin is one of the best thing any of us can do for ourselves.  The one thing I've always read is that if they do nothing else, most people will spend money, lots of it, on their skin!   Guess where I was on Saturday morning?  At a hotel attending a Mary Kay event!  My daughters, Jessica and Amanda and I went over to the Holiday Inn Express in our neck of the woods where Jessica was invited to a morning of pampering by t...
