Lise Watier Satellite Soleil Intense Bronzer

2011-09-14T07:20:00.021-05:00

These four shades of bronzing powder that you can blend together and create a lovely subtle and natural finish are positively out of this world. Hence the name: Satellite Bronzing Powder.And yes, love, its Paraben-free.

Love it so far,It's a soft bronzer nothing to crazy.I wouldn't say it's going to
replace my Benefit Hoola but it's right up there..
The shades when all mixed together is a Terracotta,You can also use the the shades individually if you like..The Packaging is nice,Love that there is a mirror!
I like to apply with a MAC 138 brush,but I'm sure any large powder brush will do just fine.
you can purchase at Naimies.com
There are 3 colors to choose from but i believe this one is the most pigmented..

DIY Cell phone bling

2011-09-14T05:17:00.014-05:00

It's really very easy anyone can do this!

What you'll need..

1.Cellphone cover (I prefer a clear of any color)
2.Go to Etsy.com search Decoden OR you can use any old jewelry,pendants you have laying around just make sure that they're flatbacks..
3.Craft glue such as(e6000)(Gemtac)I Recommend the Gemtac,It doesn't have the awful smell most craft glues have..DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE..
4.A Toothpick,Rhinestone Tweezers or a Chinese marker
5.Rhinestones,Pearls just anykind of space fillers of your liking

And you can find most of the above at a craft store...

TIPS

Always place your Decoden first & then add the stones around the edges of the cellphone cover.It comes out SO nice this way every time!
Also when searching Etsy for Decoden you may want to see where the seller lives otherwise it might take a couple weeks to recieve your items..I'm very impatient.lol
If i can think of anything else i'll add it later..

Be creative you can do whatever!The hardest thing about blinging a case is NOTHING..It looks like it would be super stressful but it's really very easy fun & like i said anyone can do this!It is time consuming but SOOOO worth it in the end!

Have fun & hope you get to blinging!

Rainbow Cupcakes

2011-09-12T22:11:00.022-05:00

We had so much fun making & eating them!!!
These are super easy to make a bit messy but so worth it!
Below is the recipe i used..You can also search Youtube for step by step..

Ingredients
White cake mix (we used an 18-1/4-ounce box)
Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
Baking cups
Whipped cream (optional)
X

Instructions
1.Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Following the chart below, dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color.

RAINBOW COLOR DROPS OF FOOD COLORING
Purple 9 red and 6 blue drops
Blue 12 drops
Green 12 drops
Yellow 12 drops
Orange 12 yellow and 4 red drops
Red 18 drops

2.Line 16 muffin pan wells with baking cups. Evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups, then the blue, and so on, following the order shown. As you go, gently spread each layer of batter with the back of a spoon to cover the color underneath.

3.Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions. Before serving, remove the paper wrapping, and if you like, top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush

2011-09-01T21:17:00.011-05:00

Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush
What it is:
A long-wearing, solar-baked blush that lasts up to 12 hours.

This blush features the following Skinvigorating™ ingredients:
- Vitamins A and E, two natural preservatives that act as anti-inflammatory emollients and protect against free radical damage
- Vitamin C, an antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents oxidative stress and premature signs of aging, while brightening the skin
- Amazonian clay, a nutrient-rich, multitasking, skin-balancing clay that reduces dryness and flakiness, improves skin clarity, elasticity, firmness, and texture while removing oil from the skin's surface for smooth application and wear

From Sephora.com

My opinion is that the blushes do give a good wear!..I applied with the Nars yachiyo brush,went on evenly & a little goes a long way!
My only complaint is the Blissful & Tipsy look exactly the same on me,I'm Nc20/25 with MAC..But other than that I'd definitely recommend you try them out if you've been lemming them!..

Retails for$25

Blissful
a warm peach with a slight sheen

Exposed

Ombré hair

2011-04-13T19:14:00.014-05:00

This is the look I'm going for!

••Ombre hair••
Ombre hair refers to hair color fading from dark to light, or vice versa. Instead of the color starting from the roots, it gradually becomes lighter, or darker, towards the ends. The word "ombre" in French means shadow or shade. Think Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, Rachel Bilson,Whitney Port.

& for me is the best way to transition my hair into summer hair! I have wanted Highlights for a while now but just dread getting it done,It's costly & then also the maintenance,Overall just a pain to deal with....So after watching a few YouTube videos I was inspired & thought,This is something I can do!..So went to Sally's beauty supply & bought what I needed,which was everything right down to the mixing bowl..The only thing I forgot was an actual hair color just incase I don't like the blonde,going back tomorrow to pick that up..For everything I purchased I only paid $32 with tax!!!*Happy Dance!

For more images of ombre hair just google:)

Till next time with my new hair!!xo
