Dear Dawn...

Dear Dawn of Making the Band 3, ( second from the right)

Congrats, girl on making that band! I'm pretty sure you girls are going to be awesome however I have a issue at hand with you. Your skin is shiny mess. First of all don't let any producer,director, or makeup artist EVER let you go on camera looking like crisco exploded on your face. You are to pretty for that ish! And I know oily skin is no one's fault and I'm not a dermatologist or anything. But I do know something about shine control.here are a few suggestions on keeping your t-zone from being that more than the price of oil:

Wash with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple.

Tone with Molton Brown's Skinbalance Toning Lotion

Mask with mark.Healthy Shots Lemon Purifying Mask

Prep before applying foundation with Smashbox Photo Finish

Apply foundation by Maybelline called Pure Makeup

And Blot ALL DAY with Boscia Blotting Linens

I hope that these work for you. You have to keep up with your face since you are now a celebrity.Good Luck,ma!


Love

Buried Treasures!

Everyone who knows me good knows that oragnization is not my strongest point. Not even close! I'm a complete mess but I have gotten alot better since having two babes. The boys' things are in order because if not, I'll be that flustered, frantic mom I always see in the mall or bookstore who needs two nannies. Her diaper bag, well its her purse, her shirt is stained from juice, she's sweating and one of her children is acting is if he/she is possessed by demons. I pray each day not become her. so I have three different diaper bag and one in the trunk. The boys clothes are seperated in outfits so it's easy to pick something out, they have bed times and have a calender of things they do for the week. Now, why can't I get myself together like this?

My disorganiztion also has to do with my shopping obssession. I buy things and forget I have them or by them, use them once, and off they go into a basket, closet, box, floor,etc. Yesterday I was on miss julia's page, and she mentioned in a post about MAC Love Nectar and I thought,"I have that, somewhere...". So pulled out my many plastic shoe boxes full of makeup, perfume, and body products and there it was with other wonderful things I haven't seen or used in awhile.

MAC Love Nectar Lusterglass-I think i forgot about it because I had NARS orgasm l/g but I forgot about that too.

MAC Morning Glory Lustreglass-I wore it yesterday and it going to the everyday makeup box.

Becca Glossy Lip tint in Granita- This made me think,"oh how I miss Potion", a great indie makeup store in Charlotte who sold Becca, Chantecaille, Pretty Pretty, and a whole lot of other great non Sephora lines.

Cover Girl Queen Collection Eye Shadow Quads in Violet Vibes-never opened. but totally pretty

Tarte Cheek gloss in Tipsy- a wonderful peachy color that looks good on my cheekbones and helpes with my dry patches on my cheeks also.

Wet n. Wild Mega Glo Face Illuminator in Rosy- I so forgot how wonderful and money saving this is and it stretches to the cheek,lips, eyes.

Maybelline Dream Mousse in Suede Sensation- never used til yesteday when i blended it on my eyes with Rimmel eyeliner in Jungle Green.

I'm still finding stuff so I think it will be a part two of the post. :)

The Monday Fashion Fly By

After a three month hiatus of EBay, I'm back Ebaying. I was looking for my boys some Stride Rite sandals when all of sudden I was bidding on three Vera scarves. Vera Neumann was accessories and home linens designer who incorporated a signature logo. I already have about seven of her scarves that mainly wear on my hair but I haven't seen them in two years because they are packed away in my storage. But anyway, I won them! Never found the boys shoes though. Still Ebaying.:)

Whirl o'Week

Hey!

I know I have posted in a minute but I have been thinking about my whole fan base of three maybe four people.:) I've had again one of the worst week. I but somehow I'm still here still pressing on. But on to other and fun things!

I love wearing white. It's one of my favorite colors but some people treat wearing white like its beige.

Summer white Rule #1- If's its dingy white don't wear it.

I've been seeing that alot down here.

You know when you have been living in the country too long when the first fashionable person you come in contact with you excites you. There's a girl that I went to high school with that is an attorney here in hometown that has one of the best sense of style in this town. Now she comes in library in check out Cosmo,Us Weekly and Glamour. She look is very california-relaxed-glam- casual-still-a-little-white girl sorority chic. She looks as if she wears $150 jeans but their really Mossimo.We dish about Target,good sushi, Fresh Market,Rachael Ray,and Anthropoligie.She always gives me compliments. She's my fashion ray of light in sea of Wal-Mart flip flops and matching outfits from It's Fashion.

I do have a list yummy things that I have made me week passable. Soem of are things that I have had or new things that just caught wind of.

Booth's Original Bath and Body Oil- I put i on dry for a sexy glow and I also put it in the bath on days a shave to soften the hair on my legs.

Neutrogena Lip Nutrition Honey Rescue Balm-Smooth not sticky with a yummy smell and no taste( which is a plus for me).

L'oreal Blush in Front Page Peach-Talked about on some makeup message boards as a dupe of Nars Orgasm,it actually is step intenser and looks better on me than Orgasm.

L'Oreal HIP eyeshadow in Lively-My favorite duo of their fab line and own all of eyeshadows.

Neutrogena lip gloss in Dizzy-Buy it. It's so pretty!

Tune Traveler Portable Speaker System by It.-I ordered this with a gift card I received for Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Makes my mix of music on my Zen Nano portable.Especially in my car, where there is no CD player.

Armani Mania for Women-I wore this to church this morning.

The Devil Wears Prada, the book-I can't wait til this movie comes out!It will be my own special treat to my self.

I splurged on a professional pedicure at one of local Asian nail spots in hometown.She did a good job but the customer service was horrible. They didn't speak when I walked in only ask what was a getting and "pic a cala". Plus they speak their language when servicing you to each other.I personally think that's rude because they could be talking about you.I used to go to this place in Rock Hill Galleria Mall that were Asian but spoke only English around the customers. Ugh,I'm going to start treking to da'Burg for better service. I tell ya,you never know what you got til its gone. I used to could sprint to mall if I needed to look for clothes or to bookstore for magazine. But 30-40 miles for a decent pedicure and oh, to get my eyebrows waxed can depress a beauty and fashion obesessed girl!And you asked how I made it before I moved away. That's why it's called the country.

I getting sick waiting on that new Corrine Bailey Rae to come out. So I purchased her first CD on Amazon and downloaded some her new tracks from Rhapsody.I found through looking at listmanias on Amazon a chick named Aya who's awesome.

Have a great week!
