HALLOWEEN MAKE UP

I LOOVE REAL SIMPLE Magazine!
I thought I'd share some fun tips for Halloween Make Up I found.

Before applying Halloween face paint, apply a thin coat of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to clean skin: The balm will keep it from soaking up the paint’s dyes.

For Stay-Put (but Temporary) Tattoos

Sketch designs near the eyes, on cheeks, and down the neck with a waterproof eyeliner such as Maybelline Unstoppable Smudge-Proof Waterproof Eyeliner. It's available in six shades and won't budge until you sweep it off with remover

For Dark Nails

Black polish is traditional for Halloween vamps, but jade, navy, or plum will look sophisticated, not scary, the next day. Lacquer nails with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Navy Baby this year.

For Fierce-Looking Eyes

Hard Candy Eye Tattoo Press-On Eye Shadow in Animal helps you achieve catlike cheetah and tiger effects in an instant. The intricate appliqué designs are made of 100 percent hypoallergenic, crease-proof mineral shadows and come with a brush and setting powder.

For Sophisticated Paints

Nix those thick, goopy clown greasepaints that leave skin feeling suffocated. Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Color Case contains an array of bold pigments that can be blended together and used on eyes, cheeks, and lips. It’s an investment, but it will last for many Halloweens to come.

To buy: $95, sephora.com.

BENEFITS OF DRINKING WATER

“I bought some instant water one time but I didn't know what to add to it.”

- Stephen Wright

Enhanced health

Increased Energy

Bright clear eyes

Radiant Complexion

In addition, bloating and puffiness often disappear.

 How does this liquid work its magic?

Behind the scenes, water...

Carries nutrients to every cell in your body

Flushes out nasty toxins

(toxins which are not metabolized throughout the body

through water consumption sometimes leads to acne breakouts or yellowed blemished skin)

Improves circulation and blood flow

Lubricates your joints.

How do you know if you're consuming enough water?

Answer these questions:

Is your thirst quenched?

Is your urine clear or pale yellow?

Do you feel good?

When your body is well hydrated you will look and feel better. Hydration in skin

also combats wrinkles and keeps skin supple!

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU CONSUME?

The general rule is 8x8. Eight glasses of water, each 8 oz.

 

  “Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our heads - at the extreme opposite end of our bodies.”

Tonight is a perfect night for ...

Back to Reality...

After a long gorgeous weekend it's back to reality!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend!!

weather proof your skin

The cold weather is coming which means there is not better time to winterize your skin.

Some key steps to keep your skin safe from the environmental changes as the weather gets colder:

STAY PROTECTED

Although the sun may not seem like its blazing like it was this summer the sun is still as harsh on your skin in cooler weather. Protection with an SPF moisturizer or make up is essential. If you wear mineral make up chances are you're protected!

MOISTURIZE

Moisturizing avoids chapped skin, dry skin and irritation. Moisturize from head to toe as soon as your get out of the shower ( still wet ) and rehydrate your skin including your hands and feet as the day goes on. Olive oil is a great moiturizer for spots of dryness and its a wonderful antioxidant too!

EXFOLIATE

Dry skin is flaky and the best way to smooth it out is to exfoliate. If the outer layer is dry often it will prevent moisture from getting into the skin and being absorbed.

HYDRATE!

Water is essential to keeping your skin hydrated from the inside! Also, humidifiers keep the air in your home moist as well!

With these steps your skin will be soft and healthy all season long!!

LC & REVIEW

I recieved the Z PALLETE in the mail today.. Not so impressed..
It was HEAVY & NO MAGNET therefore,  the shadows and or blush/bronzer I put in there are sliding around. The magnetic closure is secure (may be the cause of the bulk and heaviness ) but I still worry that the shadows would spill inside a make up bag.

On a happier note..:) I recieved Lauren Conrad's new Books: SO excited to read! Ive read the rest of the book in her series and can't wait to read whats next!! HAPPY THURSDAY!

& STYLE...

Have you read any of her books? What do you think?

I've already spotted some great make up looks in STYLE!

I have been looking for a solution to storage for all of my MAC single eyeshadows and random eyeshadows that I could depot and store easily. Z PALETTE had been all over internet and I was at first a little hesitant to try it because of the cardboard look of the outside and how well it will stand up in my ON THE GO lifestyle.. But I found it on BEAUTY.COM / DRUGSTORE.COM and purchased the small one for 14.99 (19.99 with shipping). I was impressed with the sleekness of the palette and it claims to hold 9 shadows. I was looking into the larger one ($20.00) but read in reviews it was heavier and not practical for traveling. It came in four design options..

I chose the palette in BLACK

Have you tried Z PALETTE?? What do you think? Would you repurchase? I will let you know what I think...
