Bottom Line!

I've been dying to get that vintage cat-eye seen on pinup girls decades ago, but unfortunately my liquid liner couldn't get the job done. Here recently I decided I wanted to try out gel eyeliners since my best friend used them and I've seen them all over youtube. Earlier this week I was shopping at CVS and remembered I wanted to try the gel eyeliners. I didn't know much about them so picking one seemed difficult. I picked up a product and was ready to purchase it when I seen the Physicians Formula Gel Creamliners. Without another thought I put down the other product and bought the PF brand. I would say this was a no-brainer seeing how I've never been disappointed with one of their products and I got 3 liners for the price of one from another brand. Like their shadows (also to die for) these liners come in shades to enhance your eye color whether it's brown, green, hazel, or blue. At first I was unaware that the eyeliners contain glitter that also helps enhance yours eyes, which is a plus but it doesn't start to show until half way through. Having blue eyes I tried the blue set first and I've got to say it has left me quite satisfied. The application is so smooth and looks flawless. The set comes attached together but can easily be snapped apart like building blocks; this makes it super cute and fun! However, I wouldn't suggest using the brush that accompanies the product. It's really small and has round bristles, so I'd much rather use an angled eyeliner brush to get the vintage look I've been longing for. I would highly recommend this product or any product from Physicians Formula for that matter. I have no doubt in my mind that its the BEST drugstore brand out there. This specific product costs about $11 at most drugstores.

Butters, Lotions, & Oils, Oh My!

An at home trick to get the flawless silky smooth you've been dreaming of!

I swear I've found the eighth world wonder and it's all natural! About three months ago I started this new lotion regimen, and I have got to say it's answering my prayers. I first heard about this little beauty from a little video I on youtube from the user: TonyaTko. At the time I was searching for at home remedies for removing stretch marks and scars. Natural African Shea Butter and Olive Oil (I use extra virgin) are used to create this genius lotion. Of course this wonder is for sale in stores and online for i hefty price. However, being a college student, I for one don't have the money to purchase it. So while watching the video she tells us to get a great at home dup.  So for this you are going to need a bottle with an opening, african shea butter, and olive oil. First you fill 2/3 of the bottle with the shea butter. Afterward you fill the remaining of the bottle with the olive oil. At first the lotion will be separated but shaking it will allow it to mix nicely. It is best to use a loofa in the shower while exfoliating your skin. After you are all squeaky clean, pat dry and add the lotion on any part of your skin that you wish. It's best to run the lotion under warm water because as it sits, it solidifies. The warm water will help the lotion go on with ease. I've been using this for about three months and I can tell a huge difference in my skin. My scars are much lighter and my skin feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. Whether you are looking for a great organic moisturizer or you are trying to get rid of those unsightly scars this is the product for you.

Howling at the Moon!

 

Beauty lovers just might turn into wolves this spring with these ultra edgy moon manicures spotted everywhere from runways to magazines. I for one couldn't wait to try the look. 

Here's how to get this high fashion look at home. 

-First you will need two colors of your choice, I chose...

Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet

 

and Pure Ice Free Fall

I decided to go with these colors because they are fun and create a nice contrast.

You will also need some reinforcement labels; these will be used to achieve the half moon. Any brand will do.

First you want to start off with fresh clean nails, the you want to apply the color you want your moon to be. I choose to use the Mint Sorbet as my base. 

Then you apply the labels where you wish to have your moon, like below.

Now it's time to get down to business, you want to proceed to paint below the labels this will give you the moon look. Also I suggest doing multiple coats seeing how the second shade of nail polish will be lighter or darker due to the base coat. 

After you achieve the hue you want, you can remove the labels and Voila! You have your moon manicure.

Feel free to do touch ups to get the look just right.
