Daddy Long Legs

One month ago I posted that I was embarking on the Nivea Challenge against cellulite. Well, It has been one month and I want to reveal the results, I am sure you are on the edge of your seat.
I have in conjunction with using the Nivea, changed my diet ( a bit) and did begin running, I truly see a difference in my skin texture.
I am not embarrassed or ashamed about talking about cellulite, 85% of women have it , I don't know why we speak in secret about it. I have hope for the future as my body slowly turns against me with my new found friend, Nivea.

chicken poop

Which day of the week do chickens hate most?
FRY-DAY!


I found this wonderful chap stick in Chicago years ago. It is the silkiest smoothest lip conditioner I had ever placed on my lips. Not only is it a great product, it has an even better name, chicken poop! the name came from Simone's grandfather who always used to say "If ya got dry lips, put chicken poop on 'em so ya wont lick 'em"

Cartoon Hussy

Born into the Hanna Barbara family in 1981, the Smurfette was a very high glam blue little lady. Always sporting a mini dress, stilettos and glam lashes even though she was a forest girl. Too Faced even did a smurfette collection this past winter. I love this little lady of the forest.

Fact or Fiction

True or False:
Daily application of lipstick helps maintain balance and coordination.



TRUE. In France at the University of St. Etienee, Dr. Patricia Pineau, monitored 100 women from the ages of 65-85 and proved that the women who applied make up daily had better balance and posture. So, make up isn't just vanity, it may save you from a future broken hip.

It's Bliss' best stuff ever, Fat Girl Slim. Increasing circulation ( reducing dimples) the rich cream helps smooth the skin, as it firms, trims , tones and energizes. The Sleep PM sister slim, is lavender induced creating a nice "booty"sleep.

Viking Mascara

At first, I was sceptical, the mascara wand isn't a wand, it looks more like a medieval torture tool, or a viking war weapon.
But, despite it's odd aesthetics, I gave it a whirl.
Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Effet Extension.
Results: lovely full, separated,fanned out long lashes.
At first it was a little awkward, for 14 years I have been applying my mascara with a wand and I have established my own routine. The new adjustment was quick and the old routine was quickly forgotten. I now have bat-worthy lashes, fellas watch out.

fat burning lip balm..

Only L.A.

Of course the west coast has developed a lip balm that boosts energy, tells hunger to back off and burns fat!!what?

Pacific Shore Holdings, Inc teamed up with Dr. Allan Kurtz, board certified in Internal Medicine, and created this lip balm, BURNER BALM.

The recipe that makes this balm like no other : Hoodia Extract, Chromium Picolinate and Natural Caffeine. Reducing appetite, restores alertness, and increases energy and metabolism.

As most lip balms do,it has the essential fatty acids, Shea Butter and Safflower Oil, which are absorbed into the skin, creating soft lips. Burner Balm also has SPF 15 and 30 which protects the lips from the harsh effects of the big burning ball in the sky.

Put down the sugar free red bulls, and forget your afternoon starbucks run, reach into your purse and apply to lips for a boost in energy.

These lickables are available in 5 flavors: Original, Acai Berry, Strawberry, Vanilla and Pomegranate.

Hot Lashes

Time to get out of the stone age and get some Hot full lashes.
We use curling irons to curl our hair, why not add some heat to your eyelashes? Curling your eyelashes is an important step before you load on that mascara, the eyelash curler will curve and lift your lashes creating the illusion of longer more luxurious lashes, opening up those peepers.
Talika Heated Eye Lash Curler is a new piece of technology all of us should be using. Creating a soft controlled heat in just 30 seconds, it doubles the the curve of your lashes.

Faking a Tan

If you don't know already, I am not the type of person to get a tan. I don't enjoy laying out, I enjoy having porcelain skin, even though I am Native American and Italian....

I welcome a nice summer glow, to read more

Dr. FeelGood Junkie

I wish we were talking about Motley Crue but, I am writing about Benefit's Dr Feelgood. It is applied under your foundation giving you a matte, velvety complexion. Containing no "junk" it is full of Vitamins C and E and reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores.

Fact or Fiction

True or False:
Sleeping with mascara on can cause you to lose your eye lashes?


TRUE.
Mascara can clog your hair follicles causing them to fall out.
I am not saying if you fall alseep once without washing your face, you will loose all your eyelashes, but overtime you will notice you are making lots more wishes off those fallen eyelashes.

spend or save?

I enjoy spending money on any beauty product from lotions, magic potions, lipsticks and nail polish. So to support those spending habits I have to cut corners on some products to spend the big bucks on the others.....
But there are some items I will spend good money on and others I refuse too.


Shampoo Vs. Conditioner-
$$$ Conditioner wins. All shampoos are meant to clean your hair, so I would rather spend my money on a conditioner that is right for me.
Skin Care-
$$ Very important, SPF is the expensive ingredient, and skin is the only thing you can't change with plastic surgery so, spend.
Mascara-
Nope. I love love love YSL mascara but, all mascaras go bad in 3 months. A short term investment I don't invest in. Most the time I run to CVS and get Maybelline or Loreal. A lady has to treat herself sometimes.....
Lip gloss-
Nope, Women tend to over gloss, re-applying constantly, so you will go through product quickly. I like something with a gloss and soft color, so the inexpensive ones are great.
Lip Stick-
$$ I spend. Longer lasting color, great pigments, smooth application,you can't get that quality for without forking out the dough. I suggest checking out NARS vibrant colors and feels amazing on your lips.
Eyeshadows-
I mix and match. More inexpensive brands have less pigment and more fillers, so you have to apply more product. Affordable and more pricey shadows, will go on smoother and last longer with out having to touch up frequently.
Eye Liners-
Again, I mix and match. Most inexpensive liners have less wax so application is a bit harder so, for a quick smooth application spend a little more. I buy my personal liquid eyeliner at the corner drugstore, but my own pencil liner I get from the department store.
Concealers & Foundations-
$$ spend. Achieving flawless skin and covering those imperfections is important, so your looking for great coverage, that is your correct match. I would rather have a great concealer to cover my yuckies , blending it out well, and pair it up with tinted moisturizer and some powder but, sometimes your face needs more assistance than that, my favorite foundation is Make up Forever's HD full coverage with out looking or feeling cakey.
Blush-
Today I am sporting MAC's Springsheen, and didn't have to break the bank for it, I also enjoy Revlon's colors for my cheeks. So you can decide.

With saving my hard earned dollars on shampoo, lip gloss, mascara and most my eyeliners, I can get all the goodies I want by spending wisely!
