Cosmetic Organizing "Kardashian Style"

 Okay ladies here is the scoop. Cosmetic organizing is something you don't realize you need until you visit someones house and your mouth drops and your just like what do I have to do to make this happen.

 #1 This loathed organizer is the "Kardashian" organizer on the left. All of my clients are like I need that where do I get it? Now that it is in such high demand it is kinda pricey. But totally worth it.



 #2 Brush holders is a must. Let's face it ladies we love making our girlfriends secretly jealous and if everyone had a cosmetic boutique at their house no one would leave. True!!
 #3 The classic organizer. Just a basic organizer. A lot of these organizers you can find in the office supply section like Walmart, Target etc. Sometimes you pay a little more just because it says for cosmetics. When in all actuality it's a paper clip organizer. lol. Just saying.

Sexy Valentines Day Makeup!

 Okay Ladies, lets talk about Valentines day makeup for 2012. This year less is more. Trending right now is more natural makeup with a soft natural nude to nothing eye. It's great to be creative and have all these crazy colors on our eyes but I think we need to save all the special effects for Halloween. Besides our men don't care how well we blend our eye shadow.

Concentrate on your skin and get a facial so your makeup glides on nice and smooth. Make sure it a good match for your skin color. Having a foundation that's off in color can totally throw off this look. I always recommend to have at least three different colors of foundation to use through out the year.  Also never forget your eyebrow maintenance to polish your look. You want to look just as good with your makeup on as your look with it off. Visit MAC to find your Perfect shade foundation and lipstick.

Best Self Tanner

 I don't know about you but I'm getting really sick of winter. I feel white, pasty....and just plan washed out. I came across this totally amazing spray tan by So Bronze. I have tried at home spray tans in the past and while the color of one in particular was nice it was SO messy. I mean stain your ceiling and wall's kind of messy. This other unnamed spray tan (*cough* it has the word love in it) would spray out streaky and I'd have to use my hands to even it out. So Bronze is seriously SO easy especially for the face and neck. It takes me 20 seconds of going in a back and forth motion and volia...healthy, glowy, bronzed skin! The color that comes out looks like a natural color tan and not at all orange. This is really a no fuss no muss tanner. It's quick and easy and you don't have to use your hands!

When you first spray it you will see a slight color but the color will deepen in 4-6 hours. I recommend spraying it on at night and taking a shower in the morning. When you wake up you will have a nice warm looking tan. This tanner dries in 2-3 minutes... which is not bad in my opinion. This spray tan does have a scent but it's not one of those gross tanning scents. It smells pretty nice. I would have to say it lasts 5-7 days on the body but I like to refresh my face and neck every 3-4 days.

Like with ANY self tanner exfoliating is a must! If you don't exfoliate your arms or body then you will have dry patchy tanned skin. That's what happened to me the first time on my arms. That was my fault though because I didn't get off my dead/dry skin.
(SO BRONZE Skin-healthy ingredients include aloe vera, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.)

Recommended application technique:

#1 Exfoliate in the shower with a scrub and get rid of all that dead skin.
#2 Moisturize from head to toe.
#3  Put a towel on the floor and spray all over in up and down strokes. (If you have someone to help that's a plus.)
#4 Let dry for 5 minutes then reapply.
#5 A fabulous tan in 3 hours. This is great for last minute events. MUST HAVE!!
