Well we've made it past Monday right? For today's "Fast Tip Tuesday" I wanted to talk about Blush. Sometimes it's hard to know where to start and stop it and what kind to use. As far as the type (cream or powder) it's very much personal preference. I use both. For my complexion I like a very pink blush because it looks better with my very blonde hair. I apply powder and then a very small amount of a stick on the very top of where I apply the blush. So the Fast Tip is when you apply, allow two fingers from your nose and then start your application. For today pearl studs, pink suit, pink cheeks, and messy pony!
Cinco De Avocado
Recently one of my fabulous followers asked me to do more "Fast Tips" and I am delighted to do so! Even though I only do hair and make up by request I love doing it and learning as much as I can. An extra bonus is getting to share it with you. So I give you "Fast Tip Tuesday"!
Happy Cinco De Mayo! It's no secret an avocado is basically my favorite thing to eat. I always have them at the ready. Today I give you two different ways to use that avocado.
Before you get the tequila shots and guacamole ready here is an awesome hair mask:
Peel an avocado and get rid of the seed, mash well, you can even use a blender. Add one egg yoke and a 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Throw it on from root to tip and let it sit for about 30 minutes. After that wash it really well with shampoo and conditioner. It leaves your mane so silky and smooth!
Next, this is my favorite guacamole recipe. It's easy and quick and I will absolutely be eating it tonight!
- 2 avocados
- 1 small red onion
- 1 (or more) garlic clove..I like mine very garlicky
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1 juiced lime
Mash those bad boys up in a bowl and toss in everything else. Then, do a shot of tequila because it's Cinco De Mayo damnit! Cheers!
Glossy Review Number Two
So I may have not done a whole lot this week due to having my gallbladder taken out Tuesday. But I was going to get this beauty review done if it killed me! As I said before this is my favorite box yet!
I'll start with the best first, this scent by Aerin called Waterlilly Sun is amazing and will now always be in whatever handbag I'm carring. It's perfect for spring, perfect floral notes. A little "Fast Tip" is to spray a little into your hairbrush midday when you freshen up.
Next up, Lip Tar Stained Gloss by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I love a fresh new lip color and the cool thing about a lip stain is that you can use basically any liner in the same family under it and apply it with a brush. Another cool part is that this product is vegan and gluten-free. This color is so bright and fun!
I use black so often that sometimes I forget how much fun a different color eye pencil can be. In this box, I got an olive color. Normally on green eyes; the best color to put on them is purple and even though I do this on occasion I have always loved green colors on my green eyes. It blends more than pops but I love the look. This gel pencil is by Julep and dries in 30 seconds.
Marrakesh Endz: Split End Mender & Preventer smells great and for sure makes a big difference on split ends. However mending them is a little far of a stretch. Sadly no product does that. I would still absolutely buy this product.
Last but not least Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum, I don't really have a problem with dark spots but I feel like it did to a little somethin' somethin' and I might consider using a night serum in the future.
BONUS! Look at this adorable little lips makeup bag! Its so cute and I will certainly be using this! I also just loved the 60's feel of the pop art. Last but not least there was even a "mystery gift card" for www.ThuFri.com. I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet but if I do I'll keep you posted!
