BEST Primer EVER!! No More Pores!!

I just bought L'Oreal Studio Secrets Face Primer after reading on  http://spoiledpretty.blogspot.com/ how much she loved it. I was skeptical bc I am somewhat of a beauty product snob..I cant lie but I am :( I usually think it has to be the most expensive to work the best...and now I am totally proven wrong!

I had pretty much given up, after having tried virtually every primer & pore concealor out there. My pores were huge and I thought, I'll just have to get used to it. I actually wound up purchasing L'Oreal Studio Secrets Face Primer by accident.
I was looking at it at CVS, absent mindedly put in in my cart and forget about it until the cashier rang it up. By then I was too tired/embarrassed to ask her to take it off, like I usually would do.

But what a happy accident! I put on this primer and then some powder on top and OMG! Perfect Skin! No More Pores!! I want to cry Im so happy! ( this lal just happened a few minutes ago lol ) I dont even need my usual slab of foundation first to try and erase the pores..this product does it!!

You guys have to try it ~ I hope it works so good for all of you :D

And I havent even tried the conditioner yet ~ Do any of you guys use this shampoo? What are your experiences?

Raquel Welsh Get Gorgeous Guide


I just purchased Raquel Welch's New Book "Beyond the Cleavage" & I LOVE it! Raquel is so gorgeous & inspiring at 70 years old, I had to know some of her beauty secrets! She generously shares many of them in this book. One product she highly recommended is Frownies



She says virtually every actress & actor in Hollywood uses them. I purchased a box at Amazon.com and OMG YES They really do work!



I honestly could not believe my eyes! Wrinkles and lines truly disappeared after I removed the Frownies & stayed gone! I'm completely addicted now. I recommend also purchasing the rose water hydrator that you use to wet the Frownies before you apply them to your face.

You can pick up Raquel's book also at Amazon. She gives so many tips, from how to apply makeup, her favorite products, her diet and what supplements she  takes. Definitely worth every penny

At Home Salon Hair Color


Did you know you can get salon gorgeous hair color easily at home? And for a fraction of the cost? I had been paying upwards of $100 for a single process in the salon and am now spending only $11.00 to get the same exact results easily at home!

With websites like http://www.worldsbesthaircare.com/ you can now purchase the same exact Redken colors salons use and do it yourself at home.

First, You will need to purchase your desired shade,  the processing solution, applicator bottle and plastic gloves. Before coloring, brush your hair to remove any tangles.
Pour 2 oz of processing solution into the applicator bottle (it is marked like a measuring cup to show you where 2 oz is), then pour  the bottle of your color into the applicator bottle and shake them together. Apply this to your hair for 40 minutes and viola! Gorgeous Salon at home Color!


I also like to take a fine tooth comb and comb the color thru my roots to distribute evenly. The Redken color is very thick so it generally it will not splash about and make a mess of your bathroom, another bonus of using a high quality hair color. I do not recommend trying anything drastic yourself though..I would only go this route if you are refreshing the color you have already.

 Try it yourself.. You'll absolutely love the results!

Best Buy Beauty Product


I am so in love with Alba Coconut Milk Facial Wash. It feels so good on my skin, leaves not a trace of makeup behind and doesnt make my senstive skin break out. Around $11.00, it is hands down my favorite cleanser ever. It feels so good, I actually leave it on for a few moments before I wash it off. It somehow makes your skin feel super soft and squeaky clean at the same time.
Hope you'll try it out
 XOXO

Kanye's Favorite Model's Beauty Tips

Sarah Stage is one of Kanye West's Favorite models and she was kind enough to share on her blog some of her Must Have Beauty Products

We've all heard of the wonders of Cle du Peau concealer but Sarah says she also loves their foundation.

Most surprisely on her list is a product I had never heard of.... Sally Beauty Supplies Beyond Relief Vita C Day & Nite cream.


I most confess, as a total beauty addict/snob, I was skeptical. At $5.99 how good could it be ?


After purchasing and using this cream I am in LOVE. The results were immediate... Seriously Glowing, Absolutely Supple skin!

Kim Kardashian & Girls Next Door Makeup Artist Shares His Secrets


Stephen Moleski, makeup artist to Girls Next Door Kendra, Holly & Bridgette and Kim Kardashian, recently shared his makeup secrets on his blog~ I've compiled some of my favorite tips below.. Enjoy!

From Steven's Myspace Blog Check it Out~
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=31444544

"Once or twice a week you can use a hydrating mask�."Baby Calm Down" by INTUIT Beauty is super hydrating and feels amazing� With these steps you're bound to get back your fresh face glow during dry winter months."

"What to do with your makeup?
Use less Powder and more cr�me blushes and silicone products. You will get the results you desire, I promise."


"On set" I use this technique. I line the eye with a Kohl eye liner� they are typically soft and will smudge easily but I then take a eye shadow that is the color of your choice(black or brown) and pack into the pencil(using an angle brush)"

"Everyone comments on the smoky eyes I do on Kendra, Bridget and Kim�. I would suggest that you start basic in your color choices. Start with a two matte eye shadow colors. One for your Highlight (lightest) and the other being your darker color� Don't use BLACK�.. Your dark color should be a deep rich color. So that when you blend it with the highlight it does not get muddy�.

The most important thing with perfect smoky eyes� is practice, practice, practice and tools! Your tools or brushes will make the application come to life. Using a blending brush to combine the colors is key�. Sponge applicators just won't do the job�. use your fingers if you have to, but a good brush is best!"


"My favorite eye shadows (Shadowy Lady, Contrast and Sketch and Embark) to use have to be from MAC cosmetics of course. They are very dark and rich but when you blend them out they keep a vibrancy and richness that pops!" "It just takes a couple of steps and some practice.
I start off with a neutral base (MAC paint), then use a rich color (MAC Embark or Shadowy Lady) and a kohl pencil to rim the eyes. Then blend!"

"Everyone should have a good set of brushes. A large powder brush, angle brush, and a couple of other eye shadow brushes are a must. Photoshoot by Intuit Beauty is a must for makeup prepping and an assortment of MAC eye shadows"


"I have to say that I have a new product that I think every Makeup Artist and Makeup Lover should have! The new highlighting powders from MAC Pro are amazing� You only can get them at MAC Pro Stores and online but they Rock�. Something that really makes a world of difference when you are finishing your look! Try them out I promiss you will fall in love when you see pictures!"

"This product is a "must have" before you start any makeup session. "Photoshoot" by INTUITBeauty (http://www.angief.intuitbeautydiva.com/). It makes skin appear airbrushed; makeup stays twice as long without touch up. Also it feels amazing!"

Kim Kardashian Makeup Lesson
















The Following is From Kim herself!!

Thank you so much GlamYourUS at http://www.specktra.net/ for being the first to post this!!

Kim Kardashian official web site – photos, blog, news, bio

"Okay, this is going to be a long post because I absolutely love makeup! And I mix so many different kinds.

Here we go... Just so everyone knows, my make up artist Stephen Moleski has pretty much taught me everything I know.Remember that everyone's color is different so please ask someone at the store where you purchase your makeup what works for you. Even if you think we have the same skin coloring, our tones can be different and I don't want anyone to waste money on concealer or foundation colors that aren't absolutely perfect!

Step 1: I always start with a clean face. Then I put on Intuit 'Photo Shoot.' Intuit is a great company and I love the names of their products. Photo Shoot is a make up primer. I put it on after my moisturizer, which basically is like a moisturizer that will fill the pours on your face which will help set the foundation so it will last longer.

STEP 2: I use Cle De Peau concealer stick (it's super expensive, but works for me). It comes in two colors, I use Ocre, which is the darker of the two. I also use M.A.C. concealer (which comes in a little pot) if I run out of Cle de Peau. Everyone's color is different but I use NW25. I put the concealer under my eyes because I absolutely hate dark circles! I also use concealer to cover up blemishes!

STEP 3: After I put the concealer on I put on Make Up Forever liquid foundation. I mix one pump of No. 5 and two pumps of No. 4. I also have No. 3 for the winter time when I am really pale. I mix the foundations to get the perfect color. I blend them with the coolest make up brush. Its the M.A.C. brush No. 180.

STEP 4: Since I hate dark circles, after the foundation, I put on a little more concealer just under my eyes since the foundation makes it darker under my eyes. I use a lighter concealer from M.A.C. NW30 in a little lipstick tube-looking container and I select 'moisture cover.'

STEP 5: To set the foundation I lightly brush on with a big powder brush M.A.C. Select Sheer Pressed Powder NC 30, then to make me a little tanner I lightly brush on M.A.C. Powder NW 45.

STEP 6: Now its blush time! I'm obsessed with blush! I use a color called Gingerly to warm me up and give me a little color and then add a pink color called Cheek to give me rosey cheeks. I just started getting into cream blush and find it works a lot better and lasts a lost longer.

STEP 7: Time for the eyes! My favorite part! I first put down a M.A.C. Paint pot in a light color that matches my skin called Painterly. I just use my finder and put enough onto cover the lid. This creamy shadow makes it so that the powder eye shadow does not crease. Like, if you wear make up all day you will see that the eye shadow begins to crease and get oily, but if you put this paint color down first it won't! I love cream shadow and use the color cream pots too! I love colored shadow; so it depends on the color depend of shadow I plan to wear: If it's black smokey I use Carbon by M.A.C.; if its grey smokey I use Knight Divine or Print; if it's bown smokey I use Embark by M.A.C. I love a fresh shimmery look as well and use M.A.C. Pigment called Tan. Its so pretty! I love bright colors for eye make up! I absolutely love Make Up Forever and don't think anyone does pigment colors better than them. So again, depending on what color you feel like wearing, go look at Make Up Forever's colors to choose from.

STEP 8: I always use black pencil eyeliner. My favorite is Stila black pencil.

STEP 9: Now its mascara time! Putting on mascara completes the look, but I have it when I mess up and get it on my eye lid and mess up the eye shadow. I used to use Lancome Hypnose, and still do, but I recently started to use M.A.C. Zoom mascara -- which is amazing! I take my time and put coat after coat. I love to layer mascaras so I will probably start with the M.A.C. Zoom and then put Lancome Hypnose on top. I always use a seperator brush to seperate my lashes. I am completely clueless on how to put false lashes on, so I only wear them for photo shoots sometimes.

STEP 10: The final touch is putting on lipstick! I usually use M.A.C. Lipliner called Stripdown (I use it very lightly) and a lipstick called Angel and put Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss on top. Or for my very nude matte lip I wear Nars Belle De Jour and I line my lips first with M.A.C. Subculture lipliner.
That completes the Kim Kardashian make up lesson! By the way, the inspiration for this post came from the many makeup questions I've read in the comments areas of this site!... including this one...!XOXO, Kim P.S. Stay tuned because I'm planning to do a video blog of me actually putting my makeup on -- to show you all of my helpful tips in action."

Lindsey Lohan; Fab Hair Day & Botox



Lindsey Lohan is looking amazing these days. Love her hair here, definitely saving this pic for the hairdresser!

On another note, Jezebel is reporting that La Lohan has started indulging in Botox.. her recently frozen forehead being the the most tell tale of signs...I personally wouldnt be surprised. You have to counter the effects of past drug abuse somehow.

Beauty


According to Kim, she loves MAC cosmetics, especially the Mineralize Skinfinish bronzer/powder. Both she & sister Kourtney claim this is a product they cannot be without!


Another absolute must have is NARS Turkish Delite Lipgloss, paired with MAC Angel Lipstick & MAC Stripdown Liner.

Faux lashes are applied to both upper & lower lashes.


Kim recieves regular facials & says she works hard on her figure. She makes sure to "break a sweat". She does not drink alcohol & reguarly applies the famed Creme La Mer before bed.


Style

A former stylist, Kim knows exactly what to wear to showcase her killer curves.
She especially loves Herve Leger dresses & satin body hugging gowns, like the stunning blue Nicole Miller creation she was recently seen wearing.


Kim is often photographed carrying Louis Vuitton's Limited Editon Bags, although her taste seems to have shifted lately to the effortless chic of Chanel.

Some of Kim's favorite purses seem to be her Louis Vuitton Limited Edition Gold Suhali le Aimable & her Chanel Baby Cabas. She carries her makeup in the Vuitton Pouchette Compact ($265.00 at http://www.louisvuitton.com/)
