<span style="color: #4c1130;">We all weren't born with Jennifer Connelly's eyebrows. Or maybe you were, but after getting a little tweeze-happy in the nineties you were be left with thin brows. I get a lot of clients asking me how to make their brows fuller. There are so many products on the market right now to get you the brows you have always dreamed of, and if not, there is always makeup. I have had people tell me that they got their eyebrows to grow by using household products such as olive oil, vaseline, and castor oil. I have also seen the great effects of revitabrow and latisse. It is best to do the research yourself and try out a few products and find what is right for you. If all else fails, I recommend trying the combination of a waxy brow pencil combined with brow powder. The pencil will stick to the skin and the powder will set it while giving it a more natural look. Just fill in the gaps with the pencil and use an angled brush to apply the powder. When you are done, use a spooly and brush out the excess powder and set it with some brow gel. Also, it is important to not tweeze in your hair line in between brow appointments. Leave the shaping to the professionals.</span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-81562513207724412802012-10-29T11:35:00.000-07:002012-11-04T16:19:08.593-08:00BROWS AT STUDIO 68<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04;">I am always searching for different ways to fill in my brows. I use pencil, powder and sometimes both depending on my mood. I recently found a great brow pencil. It is just the right shade for my eyebrows and it's reasonably priced too. It's called Vanitymark by Brett Freedman, a Los Angeles based brow artist. It comes in different colors that match a variety of skin tones. You can buy it online for $16.</span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-63606255562795510302012-09-26T21:03:00.000-07:002012-11-04T16:19:49.062-08:00HOW TO FILL IN YOUR BROWS WITH POWDER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I always feel a little frustrated when I spend more than $20 on a dry shampoo only to go through it in a few weeks. Got2b is less than $6. It has a nice smell and rivals some of the other top label dry shampoos. I highly recommend this one.

I had been on a hunt for a vibrant pink and this is the perfect shade. The La Laque line promises to last up to 8 hours. I am not sure if it has lasted that long on me but it does hold for a long time. La Laque Fever offers many different shades. Another one of my favorites it Iridescent. Iridescent has a lot of shine and looks great over neutral and pink lipsticks. The technology is such that it offers the shine of a lip gloss but the feel of lipstick. I highly recommend checking out these glosses, especially if you hate reapplying throughout the day. They are available at Bloomingdales and anywhere else that carries Lancome for $26.50.</span><br /><br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGZG-v4Sj3D_Y0yBkODBnBP66ZbYnGJ5fKpeTLnQ22IjN9V6rVv7zUmqHo5FwGwIv7-KXS0UuzzkwYsOjhrjUSFHCjdDNP5CN5w5jgBFN1efJnlvVs0rbhCARzhZdJ4yhdPTeF3NFWMoU/s1600/P1020341.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 174px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYGZG-v4Sj3D_Y0yBkODBnBP66ZbYnGJ5fKpeTLnQ22IjN9V6rVv7zUmqHo5FwGwIv7-KXS0UuzzkwYsOjhrjUSFHCjdDNP5CN5w5jgBFN1efJnlvVs0rbhCARzhZdJ4yhdPTeF3NFWMoU/s320/P1020341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582341818868794194" border="0" /></a>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-72908965357019700102011-02-13T21:27:00.000-08:002011-02-13T22:31:48.813-08:00DR.

I decided to do some research about the AB face peel online and I found endless raving reviews. I took this as a sign to spend the $75 at Sephora and start my 30 day peel ASAP. I am at week 1 and loving it. The product claims to helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, clear imperfections, eliminate excess oils, minimize pores, calm redness and irritation, and brighten your overall complexion. It is good for all skin types and is recommended for either evening or morning use. Make sure to avoid as much sun exposure as possible and use a high SPF to prevent sunburning. The product contains alpha-hydroxy acid which can cause skin and sun sensitivity. I am starting week two and liking what I see so far. I can't wait to see the difference by the end of the month!</span></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-60300713829071869952011-01-30T15:35:00.000-08:002011-01-30T16:19:41.998-08:00YSL TEINT RESIST FOUNDATION<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-ZrkzdO1_8AWsrU6Rej9ISZxCdHnV52Yilay-Ow2WxnlYl93f5rBRHQsjow2bfu8060LHMEzIityHc4Cw_yk9HrHMtRqrt_qFy00SutcskJR1Cfu57ZJIcBVMY1OtoQxkOcshPKj6jU2/s1600/yves-saint-laurent-teint-resist-foundation-1-17034847.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-ZrkzdO1_8AWsrU6Rej9ISZxCdHnV52Yilay-Ow2WxnlYl93f5rBRHQsjow2bfu8060LHMEzIityHc4Cw_yk9HrHMtRqrt_qFy00SutcskJR1Cfu57ZJIcBVMY1OtoQxkOcshPKj6jU2/s400/yves-saint-laurent-teint-resist-foundation-1-17034847.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568127319717886546" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I got a sample of this oil-free foundation about a couple months ago. I used it on and off for a while. I tested it out during the day and at night. I really started to notice that it held up well whether it be a night out with the girls or working all day in the salon. Depending on how much you use or which type of application, you can achieve medium to full coverage. It has a nice texture that goes on smoothly and dries with a semi-powdery finish. It is water resistant which helps keep the oil/shine I usually get at the end of the day down to a minimum. It is recommended for normal to oily skin types. Using a primer before hand definitely gives it a better look. I wouldn't suggest it for someone who has dry skin because it might look too caked on. I am really glad I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a full size of the YSL Teint resist because I am extremely happy with the results. A 1oz bottle of this foundation is available at Sephora for $55.00.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-30860144906485860052011-01-19T22:14:00.000-08:002011-01-19T22:38:17.515-08:00MY FAVORITE SUNSCREEN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8_JzZ_KNrMwBFy_o_H-xHs5tzTECWpbYqNp1_okNoi48nVrNZnUBSiluExeTenGahlonY3AEcASg40-ap1GitIwgCOvxEF8QZch5qLuP8AzXbIVymfk2RGLKbZw8GbMk1P1DW2qzfz2u/s1600/74260.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8_JzZ_KNrMwBFy_o_H-xHs5tzTECWpbYqNp1_okNoi48nVrNZnUBSiluExeTenGahlonY3AEcASg40-ap1GitIwgCOvxEF8QZch5qLuP8AzXbIVymfk2RGLKbZw8GbMk1P1DW2qzfz2u/s400/74260.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564148866485615234" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >I know adding one more step to your morning regimen is never exciting, but sunscreen is one step I am not willing to forgo. I have tried SO many different facial sunscreens but usually found that they left my skin greasy or weren't strong enough. I also try to use as many natural skincare products as possible, although I don't always succeed. One day at Wholefoods I came across this great product. It's called Mineral Sportblock by Nature's Gate. I was looking for a natural daily sunscreen that was fragrance-free that contained Zinc Oxide. It is light weight and has UVA/UVB protection. You have to make sure to blend it in very well otherwise the Zinc will leave a white layer on your skin. It is great because it lasts for a long time, so that means less re-applications. It has never irritated my eyes or skin like other sunscreens and never feels heavy under my makeup.</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" ><strong style="font-family: georgia;"><br />Nature's Gate - Mineral Sportblock Suntan Lotion Fragrance Free SPF 20 - 4 oz.

I can't believe how much they have grown in the last 2 months! I don't even need to curl my lashes anymore. They have gotten so much longer especially in the past couple weeks. I can still see some shorter ones that need to catch up but I am really excited with the results. I put a picture of my lashes below so you can see how they looked prior to using the serum. It is a picture from February 2010 and wow were my brows thinner! My one complaint is that I have encountered a new problem that I have never experienced before. Now that my lashes are so long, the mascara rubs off on my upper lids. The result is that I now get black smudges bellow my eyebrows. But I have to say, I will definitely put up with it to have my long lashes. I will never go without LiLash now that I know the results. On a separate note, I have the YSL Mascara Volume Effet on in the picture above. I went back to my tried and true mascara after my Makeup Forever Smoky Lash mysteriously disappeared. I am bummed and will probably buy another one after I finish my YSL.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcexGj6kyH1B8iJFuP1CKkyxTKTn-8mqYoIiKssdVX8F9LS8ijt3n23YouxvwtThYHIO3QWwNrs0p0YiDPj0ckcXO5ZdMY7ifbIerHZM87NTwEkZ406a1n5-7PiSNLnugoL89xCOlpmGz/s1600/P1010368.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcexGj6kyH1B8iJFuP1CKkyxTKTn-8mqYoIiKssdVX8F9LS8ijt3n23YouxvwtThYHIO3QWwNrs0p0YiDPj0ckcXO5ZdMY7ifbIerHZM87NTwEkZ406a1n5-7PiSNLnugoL89xCOlpmGz/s320/P1010368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542135444330236674" border="0" /></a>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-86518691404501555362010-11-01T19:12:00.000-07:002010-11-01T20:02:05.769-07:00LAURA MERCIER MINERAL ILLUMINATING POWDER<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjit6xC45epdUJU8irbxbOmQgoQPa13OUJR-U1Uq-8TMtR6EVf2O52QvLXtuxy_9ikBGYgOV4uKR4eTtNRNcVaYb1HescvZJQahWLuBclbDYk22yCnfBQ7mjQMnu_5-Zqp3tTWJn35QLF_U/s1600/07704824702.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjit6xC45epdUJU8irbxbOmQgoQPa13OUJR-U1Uq-8TMtR6EVf2O52QvLXtuxy_9ikBGYgOV4uKR4eTtNRNcVaYb1HescvZJQahWLuBclbDYk22yCnfBQ7mjQMnu_5-Zqp3tTWJn35QLF_U/s400/07704824702.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534770295672349458" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I love this Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder! I bought it a few weeks ago and I am really enjoying it. It is a loose mineral powder that provides sheer coverage. It gives your skin an instant glow with a radiant shimmer rather than an overdone sparkly look. You can use it all over your skin or just as a highlighter on your cheeks, brow bone, or decollate. I like to use it over my Laura Mercier tinted foundation. Either way it makes your skin look luminescent. Make sure to check and see how it looks in the natural light because it's easy to go overboard. Nighttime application can definitely be more forgiving. It is available in 2 colors. "Candlelight" for a rose nude radiance and "Starlight" for a golden nude radiance. It's available at Sephora for $32.oo for 0.34oz. </span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span><span style="font-size:130%;">I applied a bit of the Starlight on my hand so you can get an idea of effect.<br /></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDihV4LcmpVLmJZwloJpCzLkpfa9cwXMklLabzLMiba_yqpaEtLkcYvtnZupKPG3Su5gNxquAT1JkDuyVpZ6YHX_CngE7O94rVcdmCOtfP4-AAYEquGoPaXwMwgNJS1IBd6Wjq0-xpHbD/s1600/P1020230.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDihV4LcmpVLmJZwloJpCzLkpfa9cwXMklLabzLMiba_yqpaEtLkcYvtnZupKPG3Su5gNxquAT1JkDuyVpZ6YHX_CngE7O94rVcdmCOtfP4-AAYEquGoPaXwMwgNJS1IBd6Wjq0-xpHbD/s320/P1020230.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534781306402453602" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-3787479456399695722010-10-20T18:15:00.001-07:002010-10-20T18:33:16.339-07:00MAKEUP FOREVER SMOKY LASH MASCARA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTcMQcKKqLTD6UOFj7N3ZoHk4RWZVFuY0JuSGdUWb7txCM7NJ8Jzfc2r8y0xq268mOuVXMyIFj3baR5xI_KMpq_cuKwhdPD8hCuimxD62xigG0Rbl_hEW7ZQSog3iDm4kET1y2KaXmTYK/s1600/P217907_hero.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRTcMQcKKqLTD6UOFj7N3ZoHk4RWZVFuY0JuSGdUWb7txCM7NJ8Jzfc2r8y0xq268mOuVXMyIFj3baR5xI_KMpq_cuKwhdPD8hCuimxD62xigG0Rbl_hEW7ZQSog3iDm4kET1y2KaXmTYK/s400/P217907_hero.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530305103386108562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">I have been dying to try Makeup Forever's Smoky Lash Mascara after hearing rave reviews.

The product claims to add volume, length and curl. I am pretty happy with it. It does a good job at separating and looks very dark. You can find MF Smoky Lash at Sephora for $22.00.</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKEyji6ZafcMwDEr4kAO-vUauQAIt5FJ2j7LCuVPqJ7NzSzwS4sevCQhTOLiYTOBBJvc0lrE1JYpycHYaHofkrbt_DxdMizCcHhTnLEQ8vD9SbJefMFcsy9-xYVcf-pE2HfMsdp6i0ZsOv/s1600/P1020179.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 383px; height: 172px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKEyji6ZafcMwDEr4kAO-vUauQAIt5FJ2j7LCuVPqJ7NzSzwS4sevCQhTOLiYTOBBJvc0lrE1JYpycHYaHofkrbt_DxdMizCcHhTnLEQ8vD9SbJefMFcsy9-xYVcf-pE2HfMsdp6i0ZsOv/s320/P1020179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530301828569015890" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="font-size:180%;">BEFORE</span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMgNyuhfVeeAzweMdBpK8DkWSf69Zf2d9k8y_2XIKG55at5_xLRMM_LDK-99ZHPjsDbhs2omPZh71Im-SSzYERSOYOBxKBbTrVveBmyp-awCz7oTPAM779opl5L_pKSHlX-IzeX70JxRwk/s1600/P1020185.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 384px; height: 155px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMgNyuhfVeeAzweMdBpK8DkWSf69Zf2d9k8y_2XIKG55at5_xLRMM_LDK-99ZHPjsDbhs2omPZh71Im-SSzYERSOYOBxKBbTrVveBmyp-awCz7oTPAM779opl5L_pKSHlX-IzeX70JxRwk/s320/P1020185.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530301986925208594" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"> <span style="font-size:180%;"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">AFTER</span></span></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-1904610973236958312010-10-19T23:21:00.000-07:002010-10-19T23:48:04.916-07:00LILASH 1 MONTH UPDATE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQlUHZ4N9Icrp2vAvt3pEBL4tl31fwXQcvYNcqQbbkn1PJe0L31GwMN-hD84ecO44KHyVBvPi3s_Nn4btRw1GldbkCcewKiJCQzjZqaIpUqG4bekQ5VgQw8EjE66ypULtU7CJtQzk2Fwc/s1600/lilash.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRQlUHZ4N9Icrp2vAvt3pEBL4tl31fwXQcvYNcqQbbkn1PJe0L31GwMN-hD84ecO44KHyVBvPi3s_Nn4btRw1GldbkCcewKiJCQzjZqaIpUqG4bekQ5VgQw8EjE66ypULtU7CJtQzk2Fwc/s400/lilash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530010426814879714" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">So....it's been about a month since I started using Lilash and I am beginning to notice some changes. My lashes are getting a bit fuller and longer. Just when I was about ready to give up due to the slow start, something happened. I washed my makeup off as I do every night and I saw something that I usually don't notice, my lashes! They are usually straight and barely noticeable without the help of mascara or a curler. So sadly enough, noticing anything at all is impressive. The full effect of the serum is supposed to happen by the 6th week. I'll keep my fingers crossed. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">*The one con I have noticed is that my eyes get a bit irritated and red.

I have always had puny sad lashes that have needed the assistance of lash curlers and mascara to make them look somewhat decent. I have owned a Shu Uemura lash curler ever since I was in junior high and I am pretty sure I have used it almost every day since. When I first heard of lash growth serums I was a little skeptical of the results and possible side effects. However, the temptation lingered until I purchased my first tube of LiLash a couple weeks ago. </span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I had heard about it from a few people and I decided I could no longer wait to have a set of amazingly full lashes.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> I was on the internet researching LiLash and I noticed they were selling it on Amazon.com for $60.00. The price usually runs for about $140.00. What a score?!? That means I saved $80.00! It was a deal to good to resist. I started it about a week ago but I am supposed to see the results in 4-6 weeks. I checked out some of my concerns online and the company says if you follow instructions there should be no problems. Instead of applying it directly to your lashes you apply it as if your were putting on liquid liner. So now I wait patiently for the lashes I have always dreamed of. I will give an update in a month. Hopefully by then I can throw out my false eyelashes and go o'naturale.</span></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-5957936622745036422010-08-04T14:37:00.000-07:002010-08-04T15:33:15.436-07:00MAKEUP AND GO!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-WrI5xbi3ia-pA5zkhe46mo7icl4qeAcPrmwlN3tCiHOLWML8Uje6z7HLJ3mJKca4mU8GJugIBgfUP7C3mtvPSYRBNo39YGTxWQdU3Wn0vYjhS1lZhOyt1xUlMbKqg-tRkBnot0oyX0G/s1600/4638470847_b9b35c7433.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt-WrI5xbi3ia-pA5zkhe46mo7icl4qeAcPrmwlN3tCiHOLWML8Uje6z7HLJ3mJKca4mU8GJugIBgfUP7C3mtvPSYRBNo39YGTxWQdU3Wn0vYjhS1lZhOyt1xUlMbKqg-tRkBnot0oyX0G/s400/4638470847_b9b35c7433.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501673752269178098" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Makeup and Go! is a walk in studio that has professional makeup artists that help make ladies look their best for any occasion.

It is easy to use and does a great job of covering your imperfections without looking too caked on. It evens out your skin tone while giving it a luminescent glow. You can apply it in a few different ways. You can spray on your hand and apply it with your fingers, use a sponge, or by spraying it directly on your face. I have tried it all 3 ways. You use less by applying it with your fingers and you can still get great coverage. If you apply it with a sponge you can get the same effect but you end up using more of it. I was a little apprehensive about spraying it directly on my skin. But I closed my eyes and held my breath and sprayed it from my forehead to my chin. I was nervous to see the outcome but when I took a look in the mirror I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. So my final assessment of the product is that it is easy to use and has great coverage. I use it sparingly because I know it will go fast. It was worth the $60.00 but I will make sure to use it on special occasions so that I can hold on to it as long as possible.</span></span></span></span><br /><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">*Available at Sephora-$60.00 for 2.3oz</span></span></span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-57987234021761551752010-06-24T14:42:00.000-07:002010-06-25T19:46:55.833-07:00MOROCCANOIL RESTORATIVE HAIR MASK<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrFoOnAbq8-3MUVpKIwHo6sN6zpdZzChNj1ABC0xHjEM7c9wisNHtK0SmTwIXS1Bzvz_IjvvkQT4tB1ozp9s_dezpw176uTp7eD84WOZne27yNvtOm-pBLJvhn2niocwDk0-TukSh3ejwP/s1600/restorative-hairmask-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrFoOnAbq8-3MUVpKIwHo6sN6zpdZzChNj1ABC0xHjEM7c9wisNHtK0SmTwIXS1Bzvz_IjvvkQT4tB1ozp9s_dezpw176uTp7eD84WOZne27yNvtOm-pBLJvhn2niocwDk0-TukSh3ejwP/s400/restorative-hairmask-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486462201226199714" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >As you may have read before I have been battling my damaged hair for quite a few months now. Obviously when you change your hair color so frequently there are going to be some consequences. I have heard many good things about Moroccanoil treatments but have yet to purchase any. So on an extremely bad hair day and a moment of disparity and frustration, I went to my local beauty supply. I asked for the best treatment I could use for over processed hair. The lady recommended that I try Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask. She said that it was a protein treatment and that it would be a good way to rebuild the strength of my hair. Well, I have been using it for almost a few weeks now and I have noticed a considerable difference in the texture of my hair. I can air dry it with minimal styling products and it curls on its own. This was something that would have been impossible a few weeks ago. I love it! It has practically saved my hair. I am also back to using my tride and true Frederic Fekkai Glossing shampoo and conditioner. It can be pricey, but it is worth having healthy hair that I don't have to fuss over. </span></span>Amanda Gibbonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03323426142407951839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196548947675272409.post-15238208873151915232010-06-18T19:37:00.000-07:002010-06-18T20:02:36.347-07:0015 FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZMgNlZb-VYnzerbeDcCq97YBkb4IKnQJLJjyAUT77cAP92AHmjoZ9Xy30kPShjeu5H7MoDFYTLC7f6pcIsEAP9F-Y3qIxy_8dZTNU3qGXCXmk3w9RF_uoaZb4woMKzbF-EK94RDCejsOU/s1600/best-beauty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZMgNlZb-VYnzerbeDcCq97YBkb4IKnQJLJjyAUT77cAP92AHmjoZ9Xy30kPShjeu5H7MoDFYTLC7f6pcIsEAP9F-Y3qIxy_8dZTNU3qGXCXmk3w9RF_uoaZb4woMKzbF-EK94RDCejsOU/s400/best-beauty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484308871179181842" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br />We all have those few friends that we turn to when we are on the hunt for a new mascara or the best curling iron that causes the least amount of damage.
