Concealer conceals!

Hey everyone! I know that sometimes when we don’t get enough sleep it shows under our eyes. So that is why concealer was invented and thank goodness it was. Make sure when you are shopping for a good concealer that it is the same color or a shade lighter than your skin tone. Do not go too light or too dark. If you go too light then it doesn’t look natural and if you go too dark than it looks like you’ve been in a fight. So really take the time to find the right color for you. Some great concealers are from Cle de Peau (http://www. cledepeau-beaute.com) or the infamous touche eclat from YSL (http://www.YSLBeautyUS.com).  What I love about the touche eclat from YSL is that it comes in a tube that is really easy to use. It also is small enough to keep in your purse for touch-ups. Both of these products are on the expensive side, but are worth it. Let me also say that a good eye cream can also help with those dark areas under the eye. Be patient because you have to use the eye cream on a daily basis to get the results you are looking for. So don’t forget that eye cream at night and in the morning and drink lots of water and get lots of sleep.  Drink up and sleep tight!

Valentine’s Day means sexy lipgloss!!!

Well it is that time of year again. The time where you and that special someone enjoys a Valentine’s dinner or event together. I know that the first thing on our minds is looking sexy and hot for your Valentine. So here is a tip! Don’t worry so much with over doing your makeup. Sometimes just a simple red sheer lipgloss can do the trick. So next time you are at the makeup counter or even at the drugstore grab a simple red lipgloss and you are ready for your sweetheart! But be careful! You don’t want a very thick or matte lipstick or lipgloss. These usually are too heavy and can be too much for this soft natural look. Have fun and Happy Valentine’s Day.

Bedtime is no time for Makeup!

Okay ladies I know that sometimes when it is the end of the day and all you want to do is jump into bed without taking that makeup off STOP!!!! It takes two seconds and it will make all the difference in the world. Even if you take a damp washcloth and get all of your makeup off it will be worth it in the end. Just imagine all of the dirt and worn down makeup from the day sitting on your face while you are sleeping comfortably. You might be having a good night’s sleep but your poor skin is getting attacked from all of that grim and build up of your makeup. It needs its rest as well so do both of you a favor and take that extra time to wash your face before going to bed. And don’t forget that moisturizer as well. Your skin needs that extra moisture because most soaps and facial cleansers pull out all of the moisture your skin holds dear. So wash every night and moisturize you will be glad you did.
