HOW TO WEAR MAKEUP WITHOUT LOOKING EMBALMED! & LOOKING NATURAL WITHOUT LOOKING HAGGARD

Hi Everyone!

After writing my blog on money management last night I was pondering on the part about makeup.... That there are many ways to wear it....Some people think there is only one way to wear it, and they mistake that for ”CAKEY!!!!!!”..... Wearing foundation, concealer, powder, blush, and highlighter can seem like packing or “caking” it on... But you are mistaken! Theres a way to wear it.... If you don't know already lemme refresh your memory! Cuz if your a girl I know you've worn makeup at least once in your lifetime.. As you probably already know:

Foundation and moisturizer work to hold everything else you put on your face in place... and it evens out your skin tone.. Concealer gets rid of shadows and that tired look underneath your eyes, it also covers up zits, the powder gets rid of the shine from the foundation and concealer... Blush gives ya some color so you don't look like your dying.... and thats the basic makeup application.. the rest like eye stuff, and lip stuff, and highlighter is just there to accent features if you'd like to..But those basics of makeup I just mentioned make a HUGE difference in looking dead or alive for the rest of the day ha.

NATURAL BEAUTY
#1.) Keep your hair and your skin tone natural!!! If your olive stay olive don't try to turn your beautiful olive skin into orange skin, if your pale stay pale!! If your a darker skin tone stay that way!! part of being beautiful is having your natural beauty mushed in while wearing makeup... part of whats wrong with the way Snookie looks is that she turned her skin pigment orange and her hair is Purple black....Its too extreme to look at during the day. Part of whats wrong with the way Joan rivers looks is that shes had 5 or 10 new noses within the past 2 years!!!... Just keep your hair, skin and facial features the way God gave em to ya... NATURAL!!!!!!!

Here Katie Holmes is wearing a gorgeous natural daytime look. This is a perfect example of looking natural without looking haggard or cakey.

In this pic Lindsay Lohan shows us her natural beauty before she dyed her hair blonde... If I'm not mistaken I do believe that is her NATURAL Hair color with a few highlights.You know like I know she shoulda stayed a red head/strawberry blonde... OH WELL!

2.)ACCENT YOUR PRETTIEST FEATURES!!!!!
I know it sounds so cliché.... But lemme break it down so that it makes sense... Cuz I know when I heard that saying I rolled my eyes and said yea right...lol.. This goes for your body too.... We all have a certain something that makes us attractive! For me its my ebony eyes that bounce off my pale skin...Its a great combination.. and I go out of my way to show it off... I do smokey eyes with a pretty pale pink blush and pale lip...I love the nude lipstick colors cuz it makes my eyes look even darker! If your Olive buy bronzer damnet! and wear it!! lollz. I wish I could wear bronzer without looking nuts but I know because I'm so pale its not going to work.. : (...Red lipstick goes if your pale also... If your olive the pastel and dark neutral eyeshadow colors look really good on you...Take light blue for example.. I look like an 80's chick in light blue shadow lol. But If your darker it looks so much prettier!..

Kate Middelton accents her best features on her wedding day! Gorgeous!









HEIGHT: I'm 5” 10” I didn't realize the value of being tall till recently so if your tall wear heels!

CURVES: If your naturally busty take advantage damnet! If your busty you don't have to buy the bras with layers and layers of padding! ha You can buy the little lacey ones and still be busty....and corsets look good on the busty girls too!

BIG EYES: If you have big brown eyes or big blue eyes, Green, etc Smoke them out!! Smokey eyes look so gorgeous and nobody wears it! Snookie is a bad example of a smokey eye...... Not that she looks bad but it scares a lot of women off who wanna give the look a try...If your eyes are blue line them in white underneath and in the tear duct...White liner looks so pretty on blue eyes!

Here Christina shows us a smokey eye and accents her curves. I'd love ta look like that minus the piercings... I feel the tan works better if your a blonde rather than a brunette..



SCENT: Part of an attraction we have to someone is their scent!!! Like makeup, Fragrance is among one of the misconstrued beauty products out there... First off NO... YOU WILL NOT SMELL LIKE YOUR GRANDMOTHER IF YOU WEAR PERFUME!!!!!.....2.) If your man complains about the way your perfume smells get rid of him! Perfume is there to make YOURSELF feel beautiful! And there are men out there who appreciate it.. Their just few and far between... : (

Chanel 5 has a negative stigma... I like Chanel 5! It was my first perfume I ever owned and I used up the whole bottle numerous times!! Yes Chanel is a floral fragrance but I wouldn't say it smells old lady.. But I wouldn't suggest a 15 yr old buying it either.. Kids wanna smell like kids...Apples, pears, bubblegum, and tropical.. For whatever reason Young girls wanna smell like a tropical Island and like the inside of a Hollister store... Its not a bad thing, its just an acquired taste the way Chanel 5 is an acquired taste....If your in your early to mid 20's like me...You start to develop an appreciation for fine fragrances.

....I personally like to smell like a sophisticated woman... .I'm getting into the musks now ha... Chanel 5 is a great perfume cuz it lasts!!! I've bought too many perfumes that you spritz half the bottle on and you can't smell a thing.... For a while I was debating wearing mens cologne... Cologne is awesome!!! It all smells so good!!! Especially that Axe Cologne!!! I'd love a perfume to come out that smelled like Mens Axe deodorant spray!! haa.... If I made my own perfume thats what it'd smell like. It'd be Mens Axe deodorant spray in a perfume bottle basically. ha

I will talk to you later!! A vlog will be posted soon! I want you all to get to know me better! : )

SHOP-AHOLIC REHAB!!!!! Tips for Money Management when all ya really wanna do is spend it

Hi Everyone!

Happy post fourth of July to you! Hope you had an awesome holiday weekend. I guess my heads been in the clouds lately. Especially in the realm of shopping! Shopping is tough isn't it?? Well scratch that...If your a multi billionaire shopping is probably heaven on earth haa. But me? I try as hard as I can to budget, but I gotta tell ya, I hate it! lolz If budgeting were so simple everyone would be doing it. Right? heres a list of my theories on how I spend $$!

1.) ITS NOT WHAT YOU MAKE ITS WHAT YOU KEEP! !!: Save 10 or even 20 bucks a week and in 5 weeks you'll have $50.00 if you put away $20.00 for 5 weeks thats 100.00! Spend half, save half, and when shopping leave your credit cards at home, that way if you feel like buying impulsively you'll be doing yourself a favor by having no cards in your wallet. Except debit cards(cuz thats cash)... But I'm talkin about Amex here!! The evil credit cards!! Truly being broke is better than borrowing money you don't have!!!! Save a pile of cash and borrow from that..

2.) EMBRACE THE KNOCKOFFS!! The Burberry coat is a perfect example of this.... A typical Burberry coat is over $1,000.00 I was going to get one but I checked out some of their coats and found none that caught my eye this season... Plus my ultimate dream is to travel Europe within the next year, and go ta Hawaii for 3 weeks in 2013. I think I'd rather blast a few G's on Europe and Hawaii then spend $1000.00 on a lousy coat!.I'd be better off spending $100.00 on a coat that LOOKS like a Burberry coat. Bottom line is all because its a big brand name doesn't mean its not a huge waste of money...

3.)WHATS IMPORTANT TO YOU??? I ask myself this question all the time before spending money. Whether its on shoes, investments for my business, or a new shirt to wear...Will I use this product over and over again? How will it benefit my life? etc, etc. Now don't get the wrong idea. I love luxury and lavishness as much as Warren Buffet does!! But in real life money does not grow on trees!! Its a discipline we all learn some time.. I guess my thing is saving up a pile of cash then blasting it on a lavish vacation : ) and..... I tend ta blast money on makeup and jewelry too!
: D Why???
Because its the one affordable product that can make you look great even if your wearing rags. You could be wearing sweatpants with a plain white t-shirt, and look stunning so long as your hair and your face look great.. Thats the Glory of makeup and hair stuff!... Plus you get a ton of use out of it every day so that its not a waste of money, and you feel pretty and like a movie star on a tight budget!. To me that alone is worth the money I spend on cosmetics.
My personal theory is.. Keep your face and your hair looking good and it doesn't matter what your wearing.. The first thing people see when they look at you is your face! remember that!

As Marilyn Monroe said in her autobiography the minute she applied mascara and the red lipstick was as though she put on a dazzling evening gown for the first time. and shes right! : D

Those are my tips! Their religious actually... ha.. I 'm not going to sugar coat it though.. Its not easy at all.... Its one hell of a time saving cash! ZEROO FUNN and huge sacrifice!!: ( but the bottom line is that its real $$$$$$!!! and that its yours.... I suppose having real money is a thing of the past... Maybe I'm just an old fashioned girl from another life....ha... I mean yea sure its good ta have a credit card or two for those emergency times when you really need ta gas up your car if you have no cash.. But as far as the rest of life goes ya don't wanna be up shits creek without a paddle! And living off credit is just that.....
