I know…it’s so ugly that it’s beautiful. When I saw this post by the girls at ShopTalk, I knew I HAD to HAVE it. I’ve yet to try the polishes by the legendary Rescue Beauty Lounge…but this polish aptly named, “No More War” ($18) is sooo for me!!!!
Hmm…sounds like a great stocking stuffer too!
Be Beautiful Ya’ll….
Hello my beauties!!! I had a photo shoot last week with a model that had particularly UN-cooperative eyebrows….you know, the kind that grow DIRECTLY downwards? Ugh!!!! Brow gel and hairspray just didn’t cut the mustard and I found myself fixating on her brows the entire shoot….talk about annoying ( luckily she was a doll and perfect in every other way…lol)!!!
Well, as I was perusing Sally Beauty’s latest mineral makeup line named Femme Couture I came upon this….Femme Couture Brow Couture Grooming Wax ($<7). It looks awesome….wax is heavy enough to weigh down the crazy brow hairs that gels and sprays can’t….plus it adds bulk if your brows could use extra volume (first use the wax and then add shadow w/ an angle brush for a natural look)…. And since this wax is clear it looks as if you could just literally slick those puppies into place………..
We’ll see…..looks like I’ll be picking one up next visit. I’ll let you know how it works out!
Be Beautiful Ya’ll!
Hola my beauties! So I have been LUSTING after THE original Mason Pearson brush for as long as I can remember…..especially since I started working on my book a few years back and started (had to in the Dallas market) doing A LOT of hair…..
And you all know how I am all about anything “O.G”…… Well the Mason Pearson is THE original boar-bristle brush….the brush was invented in 1885 and is so darn good that they haven’t changed the design one bit!!! (except to make the handle faux tortishell)….
Why is this brush so damn great? Because nothing distributes oil from the scalp like a natural boar-bristle…and as it spreads the shine the bristles help to close the cuticle…..creating THE most beautiful, shining hair from even the nappiest mess…It’s how the stars get those “movie star” waves I just lust after… I use a boar-bristle brush at ALL my photoshoots to finish off EVERY hairstyle…..including at home on my own hair after each blowout…
Tip: This is how I bring back life to MY own hair after I blow it out…. I take a PEA-size amount of (you guessed it the “original” ) Biosilk SILK and apply it to my hair…concentrating it on the middle to ends of the hair shaft…then I take my good ol boar bristle and brush away from the root to tip….it takes like two seconds and it’s SO worth it!!! I get loads of smoothness and shine and (BIG PLUS) never have to flat iron my poor bleached mane. Try it sometime!
Someday I’ll splurge and get a “REAL” Mason Pearson……I used the sell them at Nordstrom back in the day and thought they were “allright”…what a youngster I was. A full-size Mason Pearson will run you about $150 at Drugstore.com but you’ll have it for life.
It’s good to have dreams……..
Brush Beautifully Y’all!
Uggghh…SO I got my weekly Ulta catalog in the mail, along with my coupon for my FREE nail polish and $3.50 off…..all excited to get this AWESOME deal from Stila….a $90 value for only $40 bucks!!!! I needed mascara anyways…and well Lip Glazes are always in need…the colors are extremely wearable for EVERYONE , so I needed it (well need is a relative term) for a bunch of photo shoots I have coming up next week.
….So I searched a bit to no avail, until I finally asked the checker and she said they won’t be out until NEXT week. DOH!
Don’t ya’ just HATE that.…….
Be Beautiful (and check your dates) Ya’ll…
Have you seen this? I stumbled upon this little beauty in the new issue of Instyle magazine (yeah, I’m a magazine junkie too)….I want it! The new Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara ($27) comes with a MAGIC WAND…short and round so really helps you get into the base of each lash…giving eyes SUPER definition….and it looks like since it’s so small and perfectly shaped that you wouldn’t end up getting mascara all over the rest of your face…(I HATE that when you are done spending all the time to put on fancy eye makeup and then you go to put your mascara on and mess it all up….).
This crop of newly designed mascara wands on the market are really amazing me y’all…..Looks like I will just have to make a trip to Sephora to purchase me some.
Be Beautiful!
