Rock Your Hair Leave-In Conditioner- REVIEW!

A few weeks ago when I was at Beauty Con LA, I came across an amazing booth and this booth was for the brand called Rock Your Hair by Michael O'Rourke.  The first thing that drew me in was the fact that he was doing hair styling and trimming while the Con was going on, I just found that absolutely fascinating and amazing.  To learn more about one of the products that I've bought that I've been testing, keep on reading!

Eyelash Curlers, Torture Chambers or Objects of Brilliance?

Earlier today I was asked by one of my friends what the best eyelash curlers are and that got me thinking, besides answering just her question why not also calm the nerves of those just entering into makeup and trying one of them for the first time?  They look like 'torture chambers' as my boyfriend calls them but they truly aren't.  They do require a bit of finesse but once you've got it down, you're golden. So let's get started with some of the best curlers out there and then I'll explain, to the best of my ability, on how to use them.  Shall we begin?

My Top 5 Lotions

Lotions can be a fickle thing, can't they? So I narrowed mine down to my top 5 for my "You're the Top" series.

The Planner Life: Organization and Decoration

So, it happened, I am now the proud owner of an Erin Condren Life Planner.  Specifically the one with the saying "Believe You Can And You Will".  I was gifted that and a few Etsy giftcards for my birthday, so I figured what better way to jump in feet first than to do a post on my blog about it?

Studio 35 Beauty Detoxifying Mask: REVIEW

The other day while picking things up for my upcoming giveaway, I decided to pick myself up a mask and I was in Wallgreens so I got the Studio 35 Beauty Detoxifying Mask packet.  I liked that they had little packets of the masks so you could try them before deciding to by the whole bottle/container of the product.  The main ingredients in this mask were Lotus Flower and Ginseng, which I had never used on my face before- at least that I am aware of.  The mask itself went on very smoothly and had a very nice application.  Yet, unlike the other masks I use, this did not leave my skin feeling nice afterwards.  It didn't feel smoother, it didn't pull anything to the surface, I didn't see any difference at all which really disappointed me.  So I am glad that I tried the little packet sachet before getting the full product because it. Have you tried this mask? What did you think of it? XOXO

I get asked this question a lot as a certified makeup artist, do I need a primer? What does it even do? How do I use it?  Well folks, I'm here to answer your questions and calm your fears about the magnificent world of primers, so let's get this party started!!

Beauty for Women of a Certain Age

Now before this post starts I am in no way calling anyone 'old', I see that as a compliment anyway but I understand how people take it wrong.  The images I used are from the internet of some of my 'older' heroines, being an actress myself, they are actresses.  Dame Judi Dench put it best:

Top 5 Series: Palettes (Video)

Here is my latest video from my YouTube Channel under the playlist "You're the Top".  I have decided I really like doing series so instead of doing a whole month with posts just dedicated to one series (i.e. June Jubilee, Makeup Mayhem, etc.) I'll be posting top 5's or 10's here and there through July and August so you can get to know what I love to reach for when either I'm in a rush or getting ready in the morning or afternoon or evening to go out.  If you like this video please be sure to click my YouTube link in this paragraph and subscribe! It would really mean the world to me if you were to be so moved to do so. These shadows range from high end prices to drugstore prices, so there is something in there for everyone.  I hope you enjoy this video! XOXO

Ivation Curling Wand: First Time Review!!

 For my 22nd birthday, I really wanted a curling wand and I got one! My aunts and uncle are absolutely amazing.  This is the Ivation 3 in 1 Tourmaline curling wand.  The barrels snap on and off really easily but not so easily that it is unsteady or unsafe.  Keep reading to see what I thought of my first attempt at using a curling wand!
