Beautiful Podcast: Dermtv.com

Friday, August 21, 2009






I found the Dermtv.com podcast via iTunes...but you can also watch all the podcasts via video on the website, http://www.dermtv.com/. Dr. Neil Schultz gives great explanations on skin issues and advice on how to treat them. I haven't been to a dermatologist since college, so this is great to watch! Check it out. I posted one of my recent favorites on Dry skin vs. Dandruff...

Review: MAC Sumptous Olive...

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Miss Kim gave me MAC Sumptuous Olive after she bought TWO of them by mistake! lol! I worked it out this morning before taking the boys to school...
I did the Sumptuous Olive in the inner corners to the middle, then worked a black shadow on the outer eyes and finished it off with a vanilla color on the brow bone...Love it!!

Shopping My Stash: MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet....

I swapped for MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet on MUA about a year ago and had yet to really see how it performs...I took a concealor brush and applied Macroviolet like a base then did a purple e/s out of a Santee palette I have. Then I use NYX White e/s as a highlight...

Macroviolet didn't move off my eye all day...Those MAC Fluidlines are great eye shadow bases, even though I only own one. lol!

I took this photo like 6 hrs after putting my makeup on, so excuse my greasy-ness...love that pretty dark lavender...Wonder if I put a black pigment on top of Macroviolet what would happen...hmmmm....

Zoya MatteVelvet Collection and N.O.T.D Zoya Loredana....

I just knew I wasn't going to fall into the Matte Nail Polish trend...I knew it!! I mean, I own one matte nail polish( its a Sinful Colors polish, forgot the name) and it sucks, so I just thought I would try to ignore this Fall Beauty trend...

Then that Zoya 5000 offer rolled around on Twitter and it was too hard to resist!!! So, I picked the three Zoya MatteVelvet in Loredana, Dovima, and Posh....

Today I'm wearing Loredana and I love it!!! It's more of a velvety sheen than pure matte. You still get some gloss but it pulls off the matte look. Its a good breakway from all the tropical colors I've been wearing on my nails this summer and has me wanting Fall to show up....now!! The only negative I will say about the Loredana color is that its THICK. I thought it might be old, how thick and streaky it went on. Make sure ya'll screw tops on good, Zoya. MMMMkkkay?

Shopping My Stash: L'Oreal Colour Riche in Target Red...

Monday, August 17, 2009

Happy Monday!! Hope everyone had a good weekend...I did:) tried out of alot of new recipes( check out Fatback&Sushi in bit:)) and hung out:) and relaxed. This is the first week of school for my boys. They start kindergarten, their birthday is the 18th and I'm excited!!

I dug up L'Oreal Lipstick in Target Red for my Sunday "Best". I've worn this many times but this time seemed like absolute perfection! Really...I put on MAC Currant lip liner, blended it in, then Target Red. It's like I've been waiting ALL MY BEAUTY ADDICTED LIFE for the perfect red lipstick...and I had worn it before! lol!
I have been searching all over the web and I don't know if Target stills sells this. I bought it with the matching liner included back in 2006 0r 2007. I have no idea where the liner is...


***I kept taking my earrings on and off while taking these pictures...I decided to do "me" and not wear any. I felt over accessorized around the head area...ok...proceed***






I also found this hair accessory after my brand new Elasta QP Setting Foam spilled in the bottom of a drawer. Why hadn't worn this? Its so cute!!
