I really like the finish this leaves it helps hold on your makeup so if you are looking for a setting spray or just a refreshing mist to spray on to freshen up your makeup. This would be a great item for you.

I took a canvas and put pictures of makeup,clothes,quotes,men,and just fun stuff. Then I did the crayon melt over the top of it. This isn't the final picture because I am framing it and I went back and melted the crayons a lot more. I have to wait to frame the picture so I was eager to show you!
If you are interested in doing this yourself it's super easy.

1.Buy Canvas whatever size you want :)(Make a collage of all your favorite things,quotes,or a picture)
2.Buy Crayons in your desired color, I bought a 64 pack because it was what they had at the grocery store. If I had thought about it I would have went with the neon,or pastels to be more vibrant. Don't buy cheap ones from the dollar store they are more oil so they won't melt as pretty.
3.I took the wrappers off of the crayons by soaking them in a bowl of water for a few minutes each. You can leave them on if you want that look.
4.I just used craft glue that's called Tacky Glue, and had no problems. You can use a hot glue gun or whatever you prefer to get the crayons to stick. Let them sit for an hour to be sure they don't slide down the canvas.I did it at night and just let it sit overnight and started in the morning.
5.Then take your hair dryer and set it to low speed high heat and melt those crayons. I did it slowly, to get the look above. I went back after and melted certain area's longer to get a more messy look.
6. Allow to dry-then frame if you wish

I will be putting mine up over my makeup area, it's different and fun and has all my favorite things. Let me know if you try it!

Effectively treat and rejuvenate dry or damaged hair
A unique serum produced from the Obliphica (aka Sea Buckthorn, Sallow Thorn) fruit, traditionally known for its wonderful healing effect on hair and skin. 
Rich in many vitamins, carotenoids (alfa and beta-carotene) and with an especially large proportion of vitamin E, Obliphica Serum restores damaged hair, brings back the luster to your hair and makes combing a breeze.

It will protect hair structure from free radicals and fulfill the needs of malnourished, depleted hair and unbalanced scalps.
Recommended daily use, before or after blow-drying, on damp or dry hair. 
The effect of using Obliphica hair serum is proven – and immediate.

Repair and nourishing for very dry and colored hair
Obliphica has an advanced formula for intensive treatment of very dry, colored hair. 
The creamy texture of the mask penetrates hair structure and envelops it in softness. 
Your hair looks shiny and healthy, and has a pleasant fragrance.

The Obliphica plant contains many vitamins (A,E,C,K), and oils (tea tree, olive, rosemary etc.), 18 amino acids, 11 trace minerals and naturally balanced omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids that are crucial for a healthy scalp and hair. It eliminates split ends and prevents graying, making the hair stronger. The mask has been especially adapted for hard water users, being PH balancing. Your hair stays soft, even after shampooing, drying and styling it!
For very dry, colored or damaged hair
A professional and exclusive formula for treating and restoring dry or damaged hair, or hair that has undergone chemical treatment. The shampoo includes softeners and nutrients that envelope the hair in a protective layer, eliminate split ends, soften the hair and give it a brilliant sheen.
Obliphica Shampoo has active ingredients for cleaning hair and scalp, while stabilizing your hair's PH balance and preventing dandruff. It helps maintain your hair's natural color and prevents graying. Obliphica Shampoo contains UV screen, thus keeping your hair from drying out, and maintaining its natural moisture.
This unique formula was developed especially for Diamond Beauty Supply, taking into account difficult (dry, humid) climate and poor water quality to actively tone and invigorate hair. 
The shampoo is made of extracts of the Obliphica fruit for intensive treatment, with added natural vitamin E to keep your hair healthy and shiny.

NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS-Sulfate Free-


My Opinion:
These products are amazing,I loved the shampoo it cleans my hair without leaving a build up and doesn't strip my color. The hair masque was a nice couple times a month treatment for my hair, especially since you know I am a bleach a holic.

The stand out product for me that has changed my hair beyond words is the Hair Serum. I can use this on wet hair or dry and pay attention to my ends. It makes me hair soft,and no fly aways.

The other amazing thing about this brand is that celebrity hairstylist John Blaine is the official spokesperson for this product. He has a celebrity clientele that includes the likes of Paris Hilton,Dita Von Teese,Kendra Wilkinson,Mariah Carey, and Pam Anderson to name a few.

The texture of my hair has changed, it dries faster,it has a shine it didn't use to have. I have not been using any other products since the first of Dec since I got these items. I do still use my everyday conditioner but I have used it off and on for 6 months so I know that these products are the reason for my beautiful hair.

To find out more about these products please go to http://www.obliphica.com
They are worth every penny and I if you want beautiful hair, then what are you waiting for?

The hubby and I went out for a day of wasting time and somehow we ended up at CVS. Nothing was tagged for their beauty sale items I just checked on the price machine. Everything but the Wet and Wild and Nail polish were 75% off which was exciting. The Carmindy creme blush is probably one of the most beautiful shades I have. There was only this one or I would go back and buy more of them.
So here is my less than $20 haul from CVS, now that's a drugstore haul :)

(click for bigger image)
All items except wet and wild were 75% off
Milani Mineral Blush in Luminous 
Milani Mineral Blush in Mai Tai
2 Milani HD concealers in Light
Milani Bronzer in Medium
Sally Hansen inspired by Carmindy Cream Blush in Beaming
 New Wet and Wild Eye Pack Shimmer Single in Stagedive and black liner



If you want specific swatches or reviews let me know, I will of course update you as I use them.

I went through some makeup that I hadn't used in some time and got rid of the old. I had a eye makeup such as liners and mascaras that were not pretty. I had 9 mascaras that were old that I had to toss. Then I had 8,  yes 8 gel liners or cream base/shadows that were dried out. I remember reading a long time ago that you could use several different methods to get them revived again.
image from maybelline.com

I had NYC,Tarte,Maybelline,Sonia Kashuk,Wet and Wild,Jane and Estee Lauder brands in different shades from brown,black,plum and bronze. 

The method I used which worked great for me was 

1.Take eye drops I used this brand for redness relief which I have in my professional kit and I use for myself. When you have early wake up calls you need these plus clients don't want red eyes either.
Anyways, take the eye drops and put 3-4 drops into the liner
2.Take a small object like a Popsicle stick or I used the end of a makeup brush to blend the liner together with the drops.
3.After you get it back to a blend able consistency you can take the end of the brush and mold it back into the jar.
4.Start with 3-4 drops then add as you need, if you go a lot of drops to start with it may become too runny to repair.

This method worked for all of my liners and shadows except the Tarte. I don't know if it's because they are natural and when it's done that's it. I waited 4 days to do this post to make sure it wasn't just beginners luck.


*Please note that none of these shadows or liners were old or expired they had just dried out. If your product has an odor or is beyond it's good by date please toss it.

*I did not use contact lens cleaner I used eye drops, if you Google or you tube different methods there are a lot of questionable ideas. Please be careful of what you use to do this, you don't want those chemicals in your eyes.

What method works for you?

Miracle Skin Transformer Treat and Conceal Eye & Face $36
You can buy these items at Sephora,Sephora.com and http://www.miracleskintransformer.com/

About This Product:
Comes in 3 shades
Free of Parabens
Not tested on animals
Made in the USA
Helps treat and conceal skin issues

My personal opinion:
I have mentioned before that I suffer with acne and combo skin. So I used this product on my dark spots and under my eyes. If you are fortunate enough to just suffer from an occasional breakout you can use this alone. I use it before hand as my primer and then I apply my foundation over top of this. This is a great product for anyone who has dark circles or redness around the nose. 


Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20 $48
Sephora Stores,Sephora.com and miracleskintransformer.com

They claim that this is a 5-1 skin enhancer to Hydrate,Prime,Enhance,Protect, and Mattify your skin.
I did find this to be true for me, but again someone who has great skin this is your one stop shop. I have problem areas that I need full coverage. This is a great tinted primer I got the shade Light and it is perfect for me. It doesn't make my oily skin worse, and it really helps hold on my makeup. It does give you a glow to your skin it is a beautiful finish on its own. 

This is available in 6 shades so you will be able to use this as your tinted moisturizer,primer and sunblock!

This was my favorite of the 3 products that I reviewed and I think everyone will enjoy this no matter the skin type.


Miracle Skin Transformer-Body Spf20 $34
Miracle Skin Transformer Body SPF20 contains the M3 Complex designed to improve the look and feel of skin – all over:
  • Tone: Streak-free and easy to apply, the transfer resistant formula lasts all day and night.
  • Dryness: Dry, rough skin on legs, arms, and décolleté feels incredibly softer, smoother and hydrated.
  • Sun damage: Age spots, sun damage and discolorations look minimized.
  • Contouring: Works to revive skin’s natural optimal collagen and elastin levels so skin looks firmer,  tightened and toned.
  • Texture: Goes beyond retexturizing to cover minor scars, stretch marks and dimpled skin with intensive moisture and color mineral pigments.
  • Radiance: Color mineral pigments leave skin looking younger, brighter, and totally luminous.
That is what their claims are for this product!

I unfortunately have only tried this product a few times because the weather has gotten so cold that I am covered from head to toe in clothing hehe. I did get to wear this out to dinner with my husband on my neck,decolletage,shoulders and arms before it got too cold. I got this in Glow Enhancer which was a beautiful luminous finish. It's a healthy glow without looking like you have glitter or sparkles on you like a lot of body powders or lotions come with.

This is offered in 3 shades sheer,glow and bronze enhancer. I can imagine that the Bronze enhancer will be amazing in the summer when you can wear skirts,and bathing suits and you want to enhance your nice new tan :)

In case you haven't heard of the Kardashian's (tell me how you managed) they have several reality shows.A clothing line at Sears,Books,Nail polish line,Dash Stores,Diet Pills, and recently released the information about their own Barbie.

As a makeup artist I get asked for the Kim Kardashian smokey eye more than any other look EVER. It's interesting because I also get asked by a specific event they attended or something people saw on their show. Women ask me to make them look like the Kardashian sisters more than any other celebrity. Unless it's Halloween then everyone and their mom is Lady Gaga hehe. They are beautiful girls and have amazing style. I like to waste 30 minutes of my life watching them just to see their outfits. Kim Kardashian is reportedly worth 35million dollars,while her other 2 sisters are worth around 4 million each. They on average make $40,000 an episode for their E! reality shows. 

Whether you love them or hate them I am intrigued by them, and I love how glamorous they always look. So here are a few of my favorite pictures of them.




My sister says she is a Kourtney and I am a Khloe but we secretly both wanna be a Kim hehe

I should never go on Sephora's website when I have downtime. I had made a new years resolution to try and not waste money on buying makeup just to try it out. However, there are some new things that I saw that I am curious to try out. Let me know what you want to try and if you have tried any of these items.

Too Faced Natural at Night-$36

Too Faced Natural Radiance Face Palette-$39
includes
Bronzing Veil,Creme Blush,Powder Blush,Concealer,Luminizer and Brightener

Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Palette-$34
I am not a fan of Kat Von D and I own a few palettes that are decent enough I just don't reach for them. I am intrigued by these colors and the liner.

Laura Mercier Lingerie Eye and Cheek Palette-$60
I love Laura Mercier products and I think just by looking at this that its something I will have to have!
6 eye shadows and 2 blushes

Bobbi Brown Ultra Nude Eye Palette-$45
I think this will be something nice to get to add to my professional kit.


So tell me what are you excited about?

This is something I got in my stocking at Christmas so I just wanted to tell everyone how much I love it. Urban Decay is an amazing company and I usually love anything they do. So I had high hopes for their nail polish and if you are a nail polish addict don't skip out on.

I don't believe this particular set is still available on their website but they do have a Holiday set that I am ordering because I loved these so much. 
Here are the names of the colors (L to R)
Fame, Superfreak, Xanadu, Miss T, Woodstock, Love Train
For swatches of each color you can see the post on Temptalia's page she has amazing swatches.

The formula is smooth and you can do 2 coats and it doesn't look thick or clumpy.
The colors are true to what they appear in the bottle you don't get a surprise.
I am trying to not buy so much nail polish because I end up tossing or giving away more because I just don't use up an entire bottle of anything. These are the perfect size for me I have a feeling that Miss T and Woodstock (the pretty pinks) will be worn out during Spring/Summer.

Have you bought any nail polishes from Urban Decay? What was your opinion?

I bought this wand over the holidays and let me tell you it was a really hard to get my hands on. My sister and I were shopping fools and we searched online to see if it was in any stores and they were sold out within 100 miles of me. Not only sold out of this curling wand but any curling wand at all even the $100 and above wands.

So I checked Target.com because the 2 Target stores we had been too did not have anything at all. They showed that about 20 minutes away at a Super Target they had a few different selections in stock. So we just  made a day of it and went shopping out in that area of town. I was lucky because they not only had 1 style but like 5 styles. I went with this one

Image from waybeyonghair.com

It cost me $24.99 and it included the hot glove which is a nice addition. It goes up to 410 degrees which heats up super fast and there really is no waiting around. I watched a few you tube videos on How To Curl Your Hair with a Curling Wand, but what really worked for me was just playing around with it. I had to find my groove and what worked for me because my hair is medium length and does not like to hold a curl.

I am in absolute love with this item and it gives me hair the pretty Victoria's Secret waves or beach waves whatever I want. The other products that I have been using that seem to be working great are..

Dove Damage Therapy Extra Hold Aerosol Spray $3.99 or less
This holds my curls even for my hard to curl hair, and the curls are still there in second day hair. It holds without the crunchy hair, or making your hair stiff and it doesn't flake off. It also has a nice smell and you don't feel like your brain cells are dying every time you spray it.

Aussie Anti-frizz cream $3.99 
 or
Aussie Split-End Protector $3.99 or less

I just take either of these products usually whichever one I grab first and smooth over my curls especially on the ends. It just keeps flyaway's and split ends smooth and gives you a finished look. 


So tell me have you given in to the curling wand craze or are you a curling iron user through and through?
Tell me what your tips are for using the curling wand...

ELF Gotta Glow (which is also a great dupe for Albatross by Nars),Candid Coral,Pink Passion,Elf Bronzer Duo,Berry Merry

Hungry Heart Duo I,Orgasm,Desire,Casino, Super Orgasm, Sin

ELF above and Nars below




Nars DanMari Cheek Palette is an amazing palette and I am in love with Nars products in general. However, I get a lot of questions about cheaper dupes for Nars. So as you know I am a huge fan of ELF and I am always looking for great cheaper products. Are these blushes exact dupes? No, they are not but if you have $18 not $65.00 to spend on 6 blushes go for these.

Sorry for the terrible swatches it's late and my lightening is off for pictures. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you have found any Nars blush Dupes!

You may have seen the commercials for Hydroxatone, or if you are a Home Shopping Network addict like myself then you definitely have seen these products on there.  I enjoyed everything about these products down to the beautiful packaging.

These are the 4 products I have been using since November.
AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex 
The Claims: 
-Erases the appearance fine lines/crows feet around the eyes
-Improves skin radiance
-Increases skin hydration


Intensive Youth Serum
The Claims:
-Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-Reduce the appearance of new and existing sun damage

Instant Lift Pads
The Claims:
-Works in 20minutes to deliver anti-aging results

Liftalyze-Eye-Lifting Serum
The Claims:
-Safe to use under brow bone to promote immediate appearance of lifting and tightening effect
-24hr skin hydration

My honest review:

I have been using these anti-aging products since November, and only these products. Before using these products I had noticed that when I wake up my crows feet are more apparent. They usually disappear after a few hours being awake, but I never had them before. I also have some dark spots from my years of battling acne and living in South Florida for a few years I have some unwanted darkening in my skin. 

So, I started using the products religiously and praying for the best. It has been 6 weeks and I have noticed that my skin is much nicer than before. I don't have the crows feet when I wake up which is amazing. My skin  is not dry and with the weather being so cold and windy that is a miracle. I personally feel like I look better without makeup because of the fading of my scaring from acne.

I truly enjoyed every product that I tried, however I must say I think the am/pm anti wrinkle complex is amazing I want a lifetime supply of it. I also really enjoyed the instant lift pads, and I feel like they made the biggest difference in the moisture around my eyes.
