Not only is it a natural product that helps purge breakouts, it soothes inflammation, redness and tones all skin types. It can be drying so always apply your moisturizer on after removal of a Kaolin based mask.<br />
<br />
Try it as a spot treatment over a pimple to accelerate the healing process.<br />

Their expert makeup artist, Pat McGrath, created these duos to be blend-able allowing users to make their own custom shades just as makeup artists do. <br />
<br />
Pictured on my lips is my favorite, stunner. <br />

<br />
A common woe is the inability to mix darker and lighter hues without getting a muddled look or the dark completely overpowering the creation. These formulas all combine together to create vibrant shades. The ability to blend shades is how we as makeup artists are able to create unique looks.<br />
<br />
I received several shades for review. Not all of the colors were for me but I am stashing them in my makeup bag and have already used them backstage for a dance show. The color I kept for myself and am LOVING is "stunner". The two tones are bright pink and gold shimmer. Perfection. Gold on its on makes me so washed out. I apply a thin layer of the pink and then swipe a few stokes of the gold over the top for my current go to day time shade. <br />
<br />
A fantastic shade of poppy can also be blended using a couple layers of the bright pink over the gold from the stunner flipstick and blending well. Poppy is a choice lip shade this spring. Its got the bold factor of red, the sweetness of pink and the touch of orange that give it a look of its own.<br />
<br />
The blast flipstick is another win for Covergirl. In addition to all the custom looks you can create, the wear alone shades are gorgeous and the formula is more moisturizing then some lip balms on the market. In fact the moisture factor is why I have made stunner my go to shade. Naturally I had to love the shade too but the deciding factor on a lipstick is always how drying and long lasting is. The color stays put without staining my lips or shriveling them up into a chapped mess. I do my <a href="http://amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-off-tuesday-get-luscious-lips-with.html" target="_blank">DIY lip exfoliating</a> treatment at least once a week in the winter, no lip color looks good and dry lips. <br />
<br />
Covergirl released flipstick smack dab in the middle of the Ombre craze. See Sofia Vergara looking stunning with a poppy to copper pout done ombre style in the Covergirl ads. <br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/blastflipstick.jpg?Type=activity&Activity=8685210688&Campaign=1937617816&Uid=1206921&token=d1fd50c05556e1fb1c16fa9949ffc1cd" /><br />
<br />
As ombre starts to fizzle you can try this fun variation using flipstick:<br />
Line your lips with the edge of the lipstick using the darker tone. Fill your lips in with the lighter shade of your dual tone and blend in without completely disrupting the lined edge so that you can see the contrast. The look is fun, bold and high fashion.<br />
<br />
I swatched the three flipsticks I received in both tones plus a swatch of the two tones mixed. <br />

This is a quick step to help keep your cuticles soft and pushed back. Dry, cracking and over grown cuticles can be a problem year round but as the months get colder it gets harder to maintain pretty fingers.<br />
<br />
When you step out of the shower your hands are softened from the steam. Take this oppurtunity to gently push your cutlicles back when you dry off. All you have to do is use your towel to quickly push them away from growing up the nail. Add your moisturizer generously. I make the most of my facial cream in this step, read my method <a href="http://amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2012/01/tip-off-tuesday-use-excess-face-cream.html">here</a>.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607175660613939293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181971009898569927.post-7131424091960233752012-10-10T21:13:00.000-04:002012-10-10T21:13:39.997-04:00How To Lessen the Appearance of Wrinkles with MakeupA common question I get is how to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The quickie makeup fix uses concealer and highlighter. The resulting look softens the lines, especially diminishing their appearance in photos due to the light reflecting pigments found in highlighter.<br />
<br />
1. Even your skin tone as you normally would. Always start with a moisturizer.<br />
<br />
2. Dab a concealer that is not drying along the lines you are targeting. Dry concealer will settle in the lines making them more obvious so choose wisely.<br />
<br />
3. Using a highlighter pencil draw on top of the lines, dab with your finger to soften the edges. Use your pinky finger to apply on top of the lines if your highlighter is not in the pencil form.<br />
<br />

For your moisturizer to penetrate beyond the skin's surface and provide softening, supple moisturization don't forget to exfoliate 2-3 times per week.<br />
<br />
Slough off the old skin cells so all your ingredients and hydration aren't just laying on the top layer of your skin. The benefits of proper and regular exfoliation include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Increased penetration of all your other products.</li>
<li>Toning of the skin.</li>
<li>Brightening of your complexion.</li>
<li>Increased cellular turnover, revealing more youthful and healthy skin.</li>
</ul>
Many exfoliation products are on the market. Choose one that works for your skin type and add it into your regular routine if you are not already doing so.

Collagen and Elastin play a large role in keeping our skin's youthful appearance. Collagen gives our skin strength. Collagen fibers bind and attract water to keep the skin hydrated. Elastin gives our skin flexibility, it keeps it bouncing back and looking toned. <br />
<br />
Aging decreases both collagen and elastin production causing skin to sag and wrinkles to form. Proper skin care is crucial for the preservation of your facial appearance. To keep that production up, stimulate the fibers often by massaging in your creams and giving brief pressure point massage (Shitasu) to the common areas of concern.<br />

How to minimize the appearance of wide set eyes. <br />
<ul>
<li>Apply a darker shade of eye shadow from the inner corner of the eye toward your nose. </li>
<li>Blend a lighter shadow from the middle toward the outer corner.</li>
<li>Apply mascara with inward strokes. </li>
</ul>
That is the basic makeup correction for wide set eyes. Dark colors have a minimizing effect so using this technique draws the space together.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607175660613939293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181971009898569927.post-42284216719488497782012-08-21T00:00:00.000-04:002012-08-21T09:58:58.150-04:00Arm Party | Handmade Accessorizing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Earrings used to be my must have, do not go without accessory but that changed to bracelets some time ago. I especially love custom and hand made jewelry so when I heard about the Arm Party I was all over it.<br />
<br />
The hosts of the fabulous exchange are:<br />
Leonora of Yellow Heart Art and Ilene of Much Love, Illy<br />

I usually just make things on a whim, I dig around in my supplies, searching for things that I find to meet the crazy vision that has randomly popped into my head. This usually steers me way off coarse and leads to under production of things that should happen but to the production of fabulous jewelry.<br />
<br />
To design my Arm Party bracelet for Janeen <i>my exchange partner</i> I did not veer to far of my usual creative course. I did check her blog out to troll for ideas and thanks to the Arm Parties handy, dandy, little google doc, I had an email telling me what colors she was in to. I made her two bracelets, one using vintage buttons and the other using tee shirt scraps. Go check <a href="http://wildvanilladesigns.com/2012/08/its-time-for-an-arm-party/" target="_blank">Wild Vanilla Designs</a> to see her <a href="http://wildvanilladesigns.com/2012/08/its-time-for-an-arm-party/" target="_blank">reveal of the goods</a> I mailed for the Arm Party.<br />
<br />
The bracelet I received from Janeen was crafted for me with thought. She went through my blog and totally "got me". She inclosed a sweet note card and my bracelet was tucked in a pretty little bag. The clasp is my favorite part and I am obsessed with it. The purple wire is killer. Her work is very detailed and done flawlessly. Here it is...<br />

Anyone have a favorite, unconventional, material they like to use when creating jewelry?

One of the easiest and most overlooked ways to keep your skin hydrated is by drinking enough water. By keeping your body system running optimally with plenty of water you do your skin a huge favor. Great skin is about more than what you put on it, what goes in your body matters most. <br />
<br />
When your body isn't getting enough water it pulls the hydration from every available source it can leaving your pretty skin dull, depleted and dehydrated. <br />
<br />

I am not much of hair do'er. I give myself a nice blow out and smooth it with the flat iron to wear it down for about twenty minutes before pulling it up ASAP. It works and I like the method to my madness but its not exactly polished.<br />
<br />
I now have a go to, quick do, that can be formal, casual or business that takes no longer than pinning up a messy bun but is more refined. It is the Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip. It is a seemingly simple design with a patented pin and beaded wire design. <br />
<br />
Once my clip arrived, I thought to myself, no way is this clip going to flex around hair. It seemed to stiff. Well, it's not stiff. Somehow while being ultra durable it is also flexible enough to work around hair with ease. <br />
<br />
It took me no more than sixty seconds to have my hair up and looking fantastic, in the french roll none the less.<br />
<br />
They have simplistic designs as well as full on glitz clips. I choose the gold Celtic Knot design. The quality of the clip is well made. The ease of use is unbelievable. <b>It is a hair game changer ladies</b>. With the Flexi-Clip bad hair days are null. Bobby pins used to be my hair rescuer of choice, and I still love them, but if time is of the essence I pick up the Flexi-Clip. No fuss, no muss and it is done. <br />
<br />
Watching the Lilla Rose sizing and styling video is a helpful and important tool in choosing the right size clip. It is important to order the correct size to be completely satisfied with your Flexi-Clip. If you so happen to choose the wrong size Lilla Rose will glady exchange your clip for free within 90 days. There is also a 1 year guarantee for defective items. <br />

Drooping or low eyelids can be visually lifted using makeup to correct the look. Obviously this is no miracle, we won't be picking up a scalpel or anything just using a little cosmetic correction technique. <br />
<ul>
<li>Keep the under area of the outer brow tweezed to provide a better arch.</li>
<li>Use eyeshadow to shade along the eyelid fold, blend and smudge outward.</li>
<li>Place highlighter directly under and along the eyebrow arch.</li>
<li>Eyeliner should be applied very thin and thickened slightly at the outside corner in a point to provide a lifted look.</li>
</ul>
The RIGHT eye pictured marked R has the eyebrows tweezed less and no highlighter added.<br />
The LEFT eye pictured marked L was tweezed using the method described above and the highlighter was added along the arch.<br />
<br />
In doing the outlined steps above you keep the attention from drawing downward and away from the lowering eyelid.<br />
<ul>
</ul>
Highlighter on the arch of the brow is a nice way to showcase any eye type. Keep those eyebrows looking precise and held in place using this <a href="http://www.amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2011/09/tip-off-tuesday-brow-gel-bargain.html">DIY brow gel</a>.<br />

Keep your favorite polish looking good longer. Instead of shaking it before polishing your nails roll it between the palms of your hands for thirty seconds, give or take a few ;) It mixes as evenly, creates less air bubbles and keeps the polish running smooth longer. <br />

Next wipe clean and apply a good quality lip product to moisturize.</span><br />

1. Apply your base all over color, allow to dry for a minute between coats and before starting art.<br />
<br />
2. Make the trunk by using your brush to make to small lines next to each other. Each line slightly curves away from the other.<br />
<br />
3. Add a leaf using a thin brush stoke that tapers off at the end. Fill in with two more leaves on each side and one just off center.<br />
<br />
4. Slightly overlap the dark green with a lighter shade near the center of the leaves, not entirely, just to give the leaves two tones.<br />
<br />
5. Brush on a coat of glitter at the base of the tree for your sand and you are done.<br />

I have posted about enhancing your eye color using complimentary colors to your own eyes using eyeshadow but how about doing the
same with <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">glasses</a>. That will make your eye color pop right through the lenses even with a bare face. I have green eyes so I tried some fun purple Miss Sixty frames. <br />
<br />
<br />
Eyebrows are the frame of our faces but when we need to wear <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> they tend to take center stage. Choosing frames that compliment your face, don't steal all the beauty and coordinate with your makeup palette can be tough to accommodate and shopping can be an indecisive nightmare.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">GlassesUSA.com</a> is simplifying the process with the virtual try on feature which allows you to upload a photo of yourself and virtually try on pairs in your own home. Buying things online always leaves a slight element of the unknown. Here you have the added insurance that you chose the right frames because they offer a 100% money back guarantee. <br />
<br />
The price guarantee and virtual try on make shopping for <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">eye glasses online</a> less stressful.<br />
<br />
There is something for everyone. My favorite is the tortoise frame, I want them for everything! The online store carries affordable <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">multifocal glasses</a> and has a huge selection of favorites in the designer boutique. I am also loving the vintage style section they have. It has more unique and definitive styles that many of us are after. <br />

Don't forget to play with the virtual try on feature, I was surprised at the pairs I choose that I never would of picked up in the store that looked great. Use code Blog10 for 10% off any prescription pair. <br />

Make sure your lips are well moisturized and not chapped or both the powder and the lip color will soak in. <br />

Use a "magic" eraser to remove mascara or eyeliner smears. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
Take a qtip and lightly coat it in foundation. </div>

Use it as you would a pencil eraser and clean up the smears without wrecking your finished makeup.</div>

<br />
Most frizz fighting products are designed for thick hair but Frizz Ease Sheer Solutions is formulated to work on fine to medium hair. <br />
<br />
I have thin hair that also tends to get oily quick so any serum is usually a no-no for me. I was able to get nice shine without the weighted down greasy look with the Sheer Solution. They suggest using 10 drops and used about half that amount, using more made it look like I had product in and not just smooth hair.<br />
<br />
*Light and clean smell.<br />
*Soft and silky texture.<br />
*Lightweight, doesn't make hair stringy.<br />
*Eliminates the frizz entirely.<br />
<br />
John Frieda has several products for frizz but Sheer Solutions was revolutionized just for fine hair. The dual formula works by combining a light weight serum and smoothing elixir. They actually separate in the bottle, you just shake to activate and combine before applying. <br />
<br />
I recently made <a href="http://www.amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-sea-salt-spray-for-beachy-hair.html">DIY beach wave hair spray</a> and used some Sheer Solution in the recipe.<br />
<br />
