Just in time!!

Ladies, here is Codi, a fellow makeup artist and dear friend to teach us more about our eyes and the skin surrounding. I love her and I know you do too. So here she is, take it away Code...

When it comes to the eye area, it surprises me that such a small area of the face can hold so many problems for so many women. Whether it's fine lines, deep wrinkles, crow's feet, dark circles, or puffiness.... it seems like the eye area is a small, yet major, pain in the 'keester' for many women.

That is why I am so overjoyed with the latest product from Lancome, and I know you will be too!!
Introducing......
Lancome Renergie Eye Multiple Action Ultimate Eye Care Duo
It is an eye cream and veil in one convenient gorgeous package!! *There's even a mirror in the flip top of the veil.* It's an eye care duo that combines 2 treatments for 6 visible anti-aging actions!

Skin truth
Youthful-looking eyes are the key to a youthful-looking face. The eye area is the most delicate part of the face, so it is the first area to show the signs of aging.

Lancome innovation
Eye care at its peak. Lancome introduces its ultimate eye care system, Renergie Eye Multiple Action, a unique combination of two treatments for six visible anti-aging actions.

  • eyelids are visibly lifted
  • the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is virtually erased
  • the eye contour looks firmer
  • under-eye bags are visibly deflated
  • dark circles appear faded
  • the eye contour looks illuminated
The eye area is visibly revitalized. In just 4 weeks, the whole face looks up to 5 years younger.

Each client that I have shown this new product to has been blown away by the results she has seen with just one application and has snatched this product up without hesitation. I, myself, could hardly believe the difference that it immediately made with some of my clients. Not only does it look amazing but the feel of both products is so light, and so soft. Now to be clear... the veil is not a concealer. It contains Sea Pine Bark Extract, a wonderful antioxidant, to help with puffiness and light-reflecting pigments to help illuminate and brighten the eye.

You apply the cream:
1. Under the eye
2. To the upper eyelid
3. Above the eyebrow
4. And along the crow's feet and temple
All these areas, both day and night.

You lightly apply the veil with your ring finger:
1. To the inner corner of the eye
2. On dark circles
3. And under the outer arch of the eyebrow
All these areas, only in the day after the cream. Then follow with foundation (and concealer if you wish).
The veil comes in Light, Medium, and Dark and the price is $75.00. I know, I know, some of you are thinking this is a little pricey... but I guarantee you it's worth every penny, and a little goes a long way! Also, to make it even better.....

THIS SUNDAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF FREE GIFT TIME!!!!
With any purchase of $32.50 or more you get the free gift! You get to choose which color of bag you would like (blue, green, or pink) and then you get to choose 6 out of 12 free items. There are skin care products (the genefique is an amazing serum), makeup, a bronzer, and the amazing Bifacil eye makeup remover.
This really is an amazing chance to try a remarkable product that will eliminate many eye woes, and get some other fabulous free stuff at the same time!

Happy eye area to all!!!

M.I.A.

So sweet Jenni was kind enough to inform me that I have been M.I.A. for quite some time and that I left you lovely ladies hanging without results of some products I had been testing. So...
First: Let me just say... I apologize for leaving you hanging on the results of the tested products.
Second: I am totally going to give you my good excuses for being gone so long:

1: I was traveling around working for Lancome, doing makeovers and training counter ladies.
2: I'm pregnant, and therefore getting huge and tired, and still chasing after my two little nuggets who are 2 and 4.
3: Every time I watched a video I made, I cringed and felt incredibly stupid (I.E. "Ugh... why did I make a video when I looked so bad?" "Why do I do that weird thing with my mouth when I'm nervous?" "I sound like a man.").
Third: I hope those were good enough excuses, and I hope you forgive me.
Fourth: Here is my long forgotten review on.....
THE OSMOTICS HAIR CARE LINE!!
*Excuse the makeup in this picture. I was tired, swollen, & just not in the mood to do any. Just try to focus on the hair. :) *

So.... I LOVE IT!! I really feel like the Osmotics hair care line really has given my hair more volume, more thickness, and has made it healthier, softer, and shinier.
The shampoo really cleansed my hair and the great thing about it is that it does not contain sodium lauryl sulfates which dry and irritate the scalp.
The conditioner really makes the hair soft and manageable but does not contain heavy oils or waxes that leave the hair limp and dull.
The serum is the nice little cherry on the top, that really gives your hair A+ results!
Basically, for those wanting to help their lack luster fine locks.... these are a great buy!!
As I said in the video ages ago....
You can purchase these products at either your local Dillards (if they carry it), or online at www.dillards.com.
The Shampoo is $24.00, the Conditioner is $26.00, and the Serum is $69.00.
You can also purchase them straight from the company online at www.osmotics.com. Right now they are having a Stock up Sale and if you Buy 3, you get 1 free.
Anyway, that's the review, sorry I neglected you ladies for so long. Have a great day, and great hair to all!!!

Osmotics Hair Care

*Cross your fingers for me that soon I will have full, fabulous locks!!*

Heads UP!!

Hey ladies!
Just wanted to give you a little heads up/review on some of the latest products from MAC. I chose products that would give you a nice coral look for summer, and ones that I feel would work nicely on many different skin tones. I hope you enjoy, and I hope you get some of these great colors before they are gone!


The new MAC line To The Beach will be in stores on May 26th.

Starlet Series Rockin' it like Madonna



After way too many problems with technological difficulties, and retake after retake, it seems as though the third time really is the charm (even if it may cause severe eye rolling):

I hope you like the tutorial, after watching other tutorials I realized I'm quite long-winded and tried to just get straight to the point. If you have any questions or would like me to explain something further just let me know.

*Disclaimer: I realize I say the word "Okay" way too often in this tutorial, I'll work on it.*

Lips Baby

Please help me welcome our first makeup guest tutorialista......what? It's a word!!!! =) Codi is one of my dear friends from me serving a mission for my church out in good old Siberia. She brought you looks like the beautiful butterfly mask for Halloween and the gorgeous fall look with golds!!! She is SO talented and one of the funniest people I know. Without further ado heeeeeeeeere's Cooooodiiiiiiii.....

Hey ladies!!! Just wanted to give you a few tips and pointers on how to get the perfect lip. I'm a true believer that a face is never finished without some color on the lips! Even if you only have 5 minutes for makeup, color on the lip is a must. Hope you enjoy the tutorial and I hope it helps you create your perfect lip!

~Quote of the day.... (from my friend Cynthia)~

" The way you look and dress tells people how you expect to be treated."

So throw on some color and expect some lip action from someone special!!

*P.S. Please ignore the awkward pauses... this was my first movie tutorial. Some of us just aren't as naturally talented as Jenni.*
