Trick 1: Show off Those Brows Defining and highlighting brows is a quick way to bump your look up a notch. Nyx makes a really cool pencil that has both products in one! Use the light pink on your brow bone (blend with your finger!), and then sketch in your brow lightly with the other end. Defined brows will instantly make you look more put together and polished.

I was lucky enough to recieve some goodies from Zoeva a couple of weeks ago, and I can finally share them with you beacuse they’re officially for sale on the website as we speak! You all know I LOVE Zoeva brushes, so I was very excited to get my hands on the new Pink Elements Brush Collection. Just look at them…*drool* Zoeva have yet to fail to impress me with their offerings. Their brushes are exceptional value for money, the lipsticks are some of the creamiest butteriest textures around, and as for those eyeliners … *swoon* . If you’re looking to build up your own brush collection or treat yourself or a loved one (Christmas isn’t too far away after all),  I don’t think you can do much better than Zoeva. The Pink Elements Collection is a set of 8 makeup brushes for both face and eyes. First of all the brushes come in this snazzy gunmetal grey bag made of super soft faux leather. Very nice detail. The 104 Buffer  is a flat topped, very densely packed synthe...

There are a certain set of looks every girl needs to have down pat by the time she’s 20-years-old or so. The red lip, the perfect “no makeup” makeup look, and the smokey eye are three of the key techniques we all need to know. While the red lip just takes finding the proper shade for you, and the “no makeup” makeup look can be nailed in under 10 minutes, the smokey eye requires some real time — and some real practice. Just about once a weekend (if not more) we break out the smokey eye makeup look, and after enough smudges, smears, and straight up disasters, we’ve gotten the smokey eye down to a few easy techniques. Because we know you’ll benefit from an easy smokey eye, too, we’re breaking it down for you with three simple tutorials, below! Imaxtree Cross-Hatched Technique All you need for this smokey eye is brown eyeliner and a Q-tip, or anything else that can do some serious smudging. Begin by applying the liner along your top lash line the way you would any other da...

Do you like to indulge in a good eyeliner? Yes? Then look no further, Glad Lash has their  Eyeliner for Eyelash Extensions ! The cool piece about this product is that it's not just for the extension wearer...but also for the everyday lady (or gentleman) who likes to spice things up with a solid, richly rimmed eye makeup look. The Glad Lash eyeliner is waterproof, glides on with ease and wears all day! This liner is super similar to the Chanel waterproof liner but is a 1/3 of the cost ! It also comes in 3 shades...Rich Black, Caramel Brown and Starry Night.  Even those names scream..."Yes, a night out....I will take it!" By the way, my fave is Starry Night...a deep blue hue to swoon over. These eyeliners are great for those who want the intensity without the hassle. Oh, did I mention it comes with a handy pencil sharpener? It's not my personal favorite but still co...

Beauty is an inside job. No seriously, science says so. You may have found your favorite eyelash extensions and mastered the dewy glow, but these beauty tricks are only superficial fix-its without the secret ingredient—happiness.  Researchers at University College London discovered that perhaps the most potent beauty and anti-aging weapon is actually a very popular emotion! Results of the study showed that middle-aged men and women from the United Kingdom who reported being happy with their lives on a day-to-day basis exhibited healthier levels of chemicals and hormones than adults who reported feeling fewer positive emotions. Apparently, the happier you are, the lower your cortisol levels. Cortisol is known as “the stress hormone” and chronically elevated levels are associated with virtually every modern chronic disease, from heart disease to cancer! Not to mention, too much cortisol leads to premature aging. No thank you!  Unfortunately, life can be difficult, and happiness ...

An ancient elixir that’s enjoyed a surge of popularity, argan oil hails from Morocco and has been dubbed “liquid gold.” So, what’s the scoop? Is argan oil really a beauty buff’s best friend?  While you may not be able to enjoy the latest gossip with it, argan oil will do you a steady solid when it comes to priming your skin, nails and hair for radiance. The oil is extracted from the nuts of the argan fruit tree. Even better, it’s sourced from female-run cooperatives, so purchasing the oil is lending a hand to sisterhood.  Hydrate and Balance Don’t be offended by the “oil” in argan oil. A few drops of argan oil massaged gently into the skin absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy film behind. Compounds called sterolins help seal in moisture, while unsaturated fatty acids leave skin silky smooth. Argan oil is an oil-balancer, meaning it takes care of dryness, flakiness and itchiness by stimulating just the right amount of sebum (oil) and trimming away the excess oil in oily skin. Y...

Chanel Amour Glossimer  ($29.50) is a vibrant coral pink with fine multi-colored shimmer. This color in my eyes is the definition of Spring/Summer, and is a fabulous shade to rock all season long. Much like  Chanel Sourire Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick  (in my previous post), it's a great color for those with warm, golden undertones and will brighten the face instantly. The coverage is light but buildable, and pairs really well on top of any pink, peach or coral lipstick and it also looks great all on it's own. Chanel Glossimers is one of my favorite formulas of lipgloss (alongside NARS and Bobbi Brown). The formula isn't thick and pasty, nor is it thin and watery. It's perfectly in the middle where you'd want it to be. It's thick enough to where it will adhere to your lips and last for several hours, and when you rub your lips together they will feel silky smooth and glossy - no stickiness what-so-ever. They are also packed with shine as most of the shades contai...
