Happy Thanksgiving Corney but Cute

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes 'n' gravey
have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs.

Told ya corney but cute! I saw this on a friends facebook status.
I serve a wonderful God who has giving me so much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Five Ways To Update Your Fall/ Winter Makeup Without Spending a Dime!

Even though it may have been 79 degrees here a few days ago, Winter is a mere 30 days away. And since buying makeup isn't on the top of my priority list during the holiday season...here are a few money saving ways to freshen up your Winter makeup slump!

1. Apply moisturizer to your face directly after washing it while it is still slightly damp! Seriously, if you're not doing this it will change your good moisturizer to a great moisturizer.

2. Leave off the powder! Nothing worse than a chalky face, am I right? If you are extremely oily apply powder only in the T-zone. You will look younger and more fresh faced, trust me!

3. Use a cream blush AND if you don't have one go a little "old school" and use a peachy/ pink lipstick. Just dab it on your finger tips and gently tap upwards right below the cheek bone. Your fingers can be a great makeup applicator!

4. Change things up, line your upper and lower water line. You'd be amazed how something so simple can really give you a different look!

5. Get back out that bronzer from Summer, use a big fluffy brush and apply it around your hair line and down your nose lightly to add dimension to your face.

Happy Fall!

Drug Store Cleansers

A while back I had a comment asking what was a good Drug Store cleanser.... and my answer may have taken forever but here's what I think...
When I was a teen my face was super sensitive and my Dermotologist recommended Neutrogena cleansers to me. They worked great on my oily, sensitive skin! I always love answering your questions even if it takes me a while to get the answer to you!

Here is an updated picture of the five sweet reasons why it takes me a while to get your questions answered! Haha!

Whats in My Makeup Bag

So here it is....the perfectionist in me wanted to wipe down all my makeup before showing it but I wanted this to be the real deal, well minus two old q-tips I used to blend my eyeliner (I didn't think y'all would mind not seeing those.)

I took one of the bags off my Mary Kay travel roll up bag because its clear and I like to see what I'm digging for. Here's whats in my bag, my must have's that travel with me, even to the grocery store! haha!

Blushing Bride Keris

I had the honor of doing beautiful Keris' wedding day makeup along with many of her brides maids and her wonderful Mom for her wedding 2 years ago. Since I didn't have a blog then I thought I would share them now! Keris and Jeremy had an absolutely gorgeous wedding! Enjoy!

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down...a product review

If you have read any of my previous post you know I love eyelashes and that
mascara is by far my favorite makeup. I am extremely picky about mascara. I recently tried Too Faced Lash Injection Pinpoint(Extreme Defining & Lengthening)Mascara.
Lets first start off with the things I did like.
The brush is very tiny which I think is great for younger girls or someone who is just learning to apply mascara.
Yep thats really all I liked about it....
Ready? Here's what I didn't like.
This mascara is seriously stinky! I like a very black mascara, this mascara although it says it is black hardly showed up on my lashes. It gave me some length and seperation but the look was far too natural for what I want! Maybe someone with a very fair complection or a young girl just starting to wear makeup but this product is definitely NOT for me! This product was a THUMBS DOWN for sure!

I'd love to know what your favorite mascara is?
