Soak The Day Away

Sunday's are for long baths...

What a perfect way to spend this snowy Sunday! Since I was young one of my favorite things in the whole world was to take a bath. Well that hasn't changed. To me there is nothing better than grabbing a bottle of champagne and soaking the day away. So when I find a way to further improve this moment to relax I jump on it.  

To make your next bath even more amazing, just add these three things for the best detox ever:

Handful of Epsom salts

1/2 baking soda

10 drops essential oil

 

Here are some great choices for oils and the affect they have:

Lavender & Eucalyptus - Calming
Peppermint- Will wake you up!
Chamomile & Rosemary- For a headache

 

Now go enjoy your Sunday!  

Pucker Up!

Happy National Lipstick Day! 

Not only is today a day for celebrating lipstick and all its wonders, today also marks eight years that my sweet Husband and I have been together. Seems like yesterday I was so excited to be on a date at the zoo when MK asked me to be his girlfriend. Eight years sure has flown by.

Back to lipstick. By now you know me, I'm all about red lips. In honor of this fabulous holiday I'm sharing my go-to lip color. It's Rouge Coco by Chanel 440 Arthur. I am completely in love with this shade as it's my bright red. It lasts long too which is an extra bonus.

Let's talk tips and tricks shall we?

  • Before applying, use a toothbrush to gently exfoliate lips to remove any dead skin
  • When I put my foundation on I include my lips in the application too. It will keep the lip color from feathering. 
  • Line all of your lips with liner before putting it on. This is the most important tip.
  • Always make sure you won't get lipstick on your teeth. Wrap your lips around your pointer finger and pull it out. 
  • Translucent powder can be your best friend. Once you are done applying, hold a Kleenex over your lips and dust some of that powder and it will make your lipstick stay so much longer. 
  • So let's say it's the end of the day and you dash into your house and basically rip off your shirt accidentally getting bright red lipstick on your favorite shirt. Have no fear, as long as it's not dry clean only, spray some hairspray on the stain, let it sit, and then toss it in the washer. Simple as that.

Even though it's only the middle of the week I say we all have some champagne in honor of the beloved "Lipstick Day"!

Cheers!

Blend It Like Beckham

Victoria Beckham that is...

This past weekend was a very busy one! We shot weddings on Friday and Saturday. For our Saturday wedding I did hair and make up all morning with wonderful group of ladies! They were all so lovely and the wedding was beautiful!

Fast Tip Tuesday

When it comes to makeup I am a huge believer in primer. Always, always prime your face before applying your foundation. Make sure to not leave out your eyelids and lips. Also when applying foundation sweep it over your lips too. Doing this, will prevent your lipstick from feathering.  

Now, here is, in my opinion the biggest tip when it comes to foundation. Be it airbrush, liquid, or powder: blend, blend, blend!

Here is my favorite blending tool of all time:
