&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hey Bella's. Last week, I attended the Makeup Show LA and attended a panel discussion on working in LA. I am aware that most of my readers are not in California, but some of the tips will apply in any market(city).

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Tips&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Agency: Go around to agencies and try to get on the assistance list..
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Picture: It is best to have an online portfolio, where an agency can see your work during the call. If you happen to go into the agency, bring three pictures of your best work.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Research: You should research the agency roster before contacting them. For example, if you love A.J. Crimson's work and you want to be an assistant for him, try to get on the assistant list at his agency.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Persistence: Be persistent, but do not stalk the agency or company.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Database: Create a contact database of sorts. In this database you want to keep whom you spoke to and what did they tell you. This make it easy when following up.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Thank You: Sending a thank you note is greatly appreciated according to the panel.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

- Ego: &lt;strong&gt;The biggest tip of all is leave your EGO at home. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-2435164408945647837?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2010/03/working-as-makeup-artist.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zpICpZ3_HVA/S5mdX3Fn4PI/AAAAAAAAAfg/F-EpOQudbOg/s72-c/5934_1187078190809_1043932440_599565_2124753_n.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-3618660502650251817</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-11T20:44:28.464-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Foods that make u gorgeous</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Total Beauty</category><title>Foods That Make You Gorgeous!!!</title><description>&lt;table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="display:block; width:100%; border:none; padding:10px; margin:0; height:auto; background-image:none; line-height:normal;"&gt; &lt;tr style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; height:auto; background-image:none;"&gt; &lt;td valign="top" style="width:100%; border:0; padding:0; margin:0 0 5px 0; height:auto; background-image:none; display:block;"&gt; &lt;p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; height:auto; background-image:none; font-size:200%; font-weight:bold; line-height:normal;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.totalbeauty.com" title="TotalBeauty.com" style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; background-image:none;" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;img src="http://images.totalbeauty.com/img/beautyBits/l_tbBeautyBubble.gif" alt="TotalBeauty.com" border="0" style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/quizzes/health-and-beauty-quiz-florida-citrus?utm_source=Seymone&amp;utm_campaign=Bubbles&amp;cid=1615" title="Quiz: What Foods Make You More Beautiful?

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hey Bella's, so the holiday season is over and I know that indulging in food has taken place. Am I the only one? I have gain a couple of pounds that needs to be shed immediately. Lol. However I hate dieting and I am a little weak(health issues) to do my normal workout routine at this time. There is a product that caught my eye and it is from a company called Sensa. 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
How it works is you sprinkle some of the salt like tastants on your food, which send a signal to your brain that it should stop eating. Sprinkling these tastants on your food speeds the signal to your brain that your full. The basis is that you eat what you like just in smaller portion, which cut back on the calories. You never feel like your deprived because your brain is telling you that you are full.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The tastants in Sensa is sodium- free, sugar-free, calorie free, gluten-free, and there are no stimulants, drugs or MSG. According to the website, the product is safe to use, since it work in tandem with your body. 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The results on the website are astounding. Some people have lost 53 pounds to date. I don't need to lose that much but you get the idea. I am going to take the plunge and try this product within the next few weeks. If you would like to research the site for yourself, click &lt;a href="http://www.trysensa.com/index.cfm?action=shop.dms"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; .. There is an offer on the website, where you can try the product for free. I will also provide a discount code within the next couple of days.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Company Claim&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Ready to reveal your daring side?
Flaunt your gorgeous even skin tone with confidence.  Caress Evenly Gorgeous Beauty Bar, with burnt brown sugar and karite butter, gently exfoliates and lusciously moisturizes to reveal beautifully even-toned skin.  Go ahead, be daring!
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Review&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Diva's I must tell you about this bodywash. I love it. The smell is amazing. I love the smell of burnt sugar. LOL. It must be the west indian in me. When using this product it is really a sensual experience. I love everything that smells good. I am driven by it actually. TMI, I know. Oh well, you guys are family.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I would be remiss, if I did not mention the exfoliation properties of this product. The body wash contains small exfoliation beads. At the end of your shower, your left with baby soft skin and an amazing scent. Who could ask for more!
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I have used this product for about 6 weeks now and I definitely have a glow to my skin. The company claims about evening the skin tone is true. It just may take awhile to see results. 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
My recommendation is to pick this one up ladies.. Let be prepared before summer hits. Owwww.
You can purchase this product at any drugstore for around six bucks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-3026652718576637680?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2010/01/review-caress-evenly-gorgeous.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zpICpZ3_HVA/S1YqKsBSauI/AAAAAAAAAdc/q0Gs9Nr_fNg/s72-c/caress.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-7579938678122050130</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-15T14:40:27.725-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">HALO</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FOTD</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Smashbox</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Lipstick</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">MAC</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">HALO Hydrating Duos</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">NYX</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Prestige Eyeliners</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ardell Eyelashes</category><title>Review/Look:Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Eye Shadow Duos</title><description>&lt;object width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/chcE8hnnEBw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/chcE8hnnEBw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;break&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hey Bella's.. I am back with another review. I have to tell you guys I was really excited to use this product. The product I will be reviewing is Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Eye Shadow Duos. This product ladies is being called the miracle makeup for your eyes. Why you ask? The product offers great anti-aging benefits that minimizes the signs of aging with continued use. 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;break&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pros&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The anti-aging benefits, specifically after 10 minutes of use the eyelids appear smoother
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The ingredients in this product is amazing, such as Goji berries,48 bio-available minerals, silk peptide and the lists goes on
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The color range for this product covers your everyday eye shadow needs(comes in five shades)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The eye shadows are very finely milled so they feel soft to the touch
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The eye shadows are very pigmented so you can do a soft touch of color for work and then kick it up a notch for after work hours
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The packaging has it up and downside. I like the fact that you can shave off the amount of product you use
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;break&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cons&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The packaging when it comes to doing a more dramatic look. Since your shaving the product you get equal amount of lid and crease color. At times, your left with more product than you need for lid or the crease, which can be wasteful.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;break&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Recommendation:&lt;/strong&gt;
I would recommend that you all try this product. It comes in five shades: Petal/Plum; Bisque/Almond; Pewter/Smoke; Buff/Ivy; and Soft Peach/ Cocoa. You can purchase this product at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, and Smashbox.com ..The HALO Hydrating Eye Shadow Duos cost $36 each.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Quick Note:&lt;/strong&gt; For those wanting to do more of a dramatic look. I would highly suggest using a good base.

&lt;div&gt;Hey Bella's.. I know it has been a long time since my last post. There is so much to say, but at the same time, I don't know where to begin. I would rather just jump back into the swing of things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wanted to tell you ladies about a great new product by Iman Cosmetics. It is there new liquid eyeliners. These eyeliners currently come in four shades:
&lt;div&gt;
Onyx: A glimmering black&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Platinum: A sparkling silver&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Sapphire: A rich gem-toned blue&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Copper: A warm molten earth tone &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
These luxury eyeliners are available for purchase at Target for $10.99&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
PRO&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Very easy to use
&lt;div&gt;
Comes in beautiful range of colors
&lt;div&gt;
Long Lasting
&lt;div&gt;
Does not flake after hours of wear
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
CON&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
May be a little pricey to some for an eyeliner
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
These eyeliners are definitely worth checking out. I can see myself using the Copper and Onyx color alot during the holiday.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hana K. Diamond Wood Oval Cushion Hair Brush $9.98
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_1734151"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 154px;" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_1734151" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I love this brush. I use this brush daily to smooth down my edges. What I love most about this brush is that it is not harsh on the hair. It is actually very stimulating to the scalp. This brush is very unique because it has a mixture of natural and nylon bristles.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Brushlab Ceramic Flow Thermal Round Barrel Hair Brush $12.98
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_4352154"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 155px;" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_4352154" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This brush is great reducing frizz.. I use this brush every 2 weeks, when I do my at home blow outs. It works great.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Brushlab Pretty Pink Dual Mirror Brush Combo Hair Brush
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_4980328"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 155px;" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_4980328" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Everyone knows that I love pink, so this brush fit me perfectly. This brush is very dear to me because it is my weave/wig brush. It detangles wig/weave hair perfectly. This is a must have brush.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Brushlab Fresh Style Hair Brush
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_3843596"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 155px;" src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-12635481288323_2067_3843596" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This brush is another one that I use daily. I use this brush to comb through the length of my hair. It does not pull or tug out my hair and it detangles like a dream.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Okay my lovely people, I really recommend these brushes. They are awesome and economical. You can find these brushes online at &lt;a href="http://brushlove.com/index.html"&gt;www.brushlove.com&lt;/a&gt; or at Ulta.. Remember, the key to great hair lies within the products you use and your styling tools.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-4468680350443254049?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/09/review-hair-brushes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-9010414066302327512</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-04T19:50:19.419-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Extra Volume Collagen Mascara</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mascara</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Total Beauty</category><title>Review: L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/223056/300.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/223056/300.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Okay Bella's.. Here's the scoop on the latest L'Oreal mascara.. The L'Oreal Extra Volume Collage mascara is love. I believe I love it so much because the wand is reminiscent to that of the Colossal Volume by Maybelline, which is my all time favorite mascara. Okay, so this mascara claims that it give lashes 12x more impact. I would say more like 4x the impact. This mascara is definitely buildable, so technically it could give more impact if you do more than two application.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
As a contact lenses wear this mascara did not irritate my eyes at the end of the day. There was no flaking, which is great. Who wants to have flakes of mascara on their face at the end of the day.  The greatest of all is that it does not leave your lashes hard.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Overall, I would definitely recommend this mascara. It retails for $7.95 and is available at most drugstores.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-9010414066302327512?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/09/review-loreal-extra-volume-collagen.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-1652680301630338095</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-04T19:13:13.919-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">L'Oreal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Eye Cream</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Deep Wrinkle Repair</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Total Beauty</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">RevitaLift</category><title>Review: L'oreal RevitaLift Deep Set wrinkle Eye Repair</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/221061/300.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugstore.com/prodimg/221061/300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I was recently given the opportunity to test the NEW L'Oreal RevitaLift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream. According to L'Oreal the benefit of using this product is that it provides 24 hour intensive repair for under eye wrinkles. Now that thirty is in my very near future, I went to take preventative measures to minimize wrinkles. Also, I must mention that I am noticing little fine lines around my eyes. You have to imagine my excitement, when I found out the benefits of this product. To find out if this product lives up to its claims; Read on.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pro's&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This product is a duo, so it has a AM/PM side
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The AM formulation has SPF 15
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very lightweight
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Absorbs very quickly
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Con's&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
You do not get a lot of product for your dollars (retails for $19.99)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very drying
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Overall:&lt;/span&gt; I would not buy this product again. I feel this product did the opposite for me. It made my fine line more prominent. I think it may be due to the lack of moisture in the PM side. I want to say that this product is probably for more mature skin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-1652680301630338095?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/09/review-loreal-revitalift-deep-set.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-7531738379881331938</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 06:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-03T03:15:37.882-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Massive Sale</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Pigments</category><title>*CLOSED*SALE TIME</title><description>Hey my lovely people..

I was tagged by the awesome, Aziajs of &lt;a href="http://facesfromaziajs.blogspot.com/"&gt;Faces of Aziajs&lt;/a&gt; to do a photo tag..
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Here are the rules:
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    * Open your first photo folder.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    * Scroll down to the 10th photo.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    * Post that photo and story on your blog.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    * Tag five others (or more) friends to do the same.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
This picture is from a photo shoot, I did sometime ago.. Nothing special just a basic smokey eye with a nude lip. I take every photo shoot as a learning experience. On this particular shoot, I should have went heavier on the blush for it to show up more. I am proud of myself as far as the foundation because she had quite a few sores.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey Bella's... I was recently sent a sample of the New Isadora Crystal Gloss in 80Taffeta Pink to try. I was intrigued by this product because I never tried a lipgloss stick before. Upon initial application I could immediately sense that the texture was not along the lines of a lipgloss. In my opinion, it is more of a light finish lipstick with a sort of wet feel to it. On to the good stuff...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pro's&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Moisturizing due to the addition of Shea Butter and Vitamin E
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Wide range of colors
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Sheer upon initial application but definitely buildable
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Even after lipgloss disappears the lips still feel moist
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Con's&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Requires a touch up after eating or drinking
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Overall:&lt;/strong&gt; I would recommend this product. It is great for summer because it is hot enough; no need for heavy lipstick/lipgloss. Plus, I love multi use products. It's a lipgloss and chapstick all in one. Loves it. Check it out and let me know your thoughts..
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Product Availability:&lt;/strong&gt;

Well ladies it is time to get fit. Those extra pounds that we have on has to come off because once you ignore it, you will keep adding more and more. We are in a recession and like Tyra said we need to become a recessionista in this time. I am not in the position to waste money at the gym. Yes, I said wasting money because I learned I can get a better work out at home. Let me tell you about one of the workouts I do at home. It is called the Masala Bhangra workout. Wow, what a true workout you get with this dvd. When I first saw the Masala Bhangra, it was on FitTv.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
What is Masala Bhangra? The Masala Bhangra Workout is an Indian-dance based fitness program, designed for people of all ages and fitness levels who love to stay physically active through dance and want to learn about Indian culture. The Masala Bhangra Workout is certified by American Fitness Boards, including the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). Specifically, it introduces high energy Bhangra and Bollywood dance movements in an easy-to-follow fitness format, and is a mechanism by which thousands of people have lost weight and become physically active. With the dance choreography directly influenced by the music and dance of modern Bhangra and Bollywood styles, The Masala Bhangra Workout is a fresh and exciting addition to the world of fitness and dance.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I was so cocky about it. I told my mom and sister that this was a total waste. It will do nothing for me because it look so simple. The first 5 minutes into the Masala warm up, I was sweating hard. By the time I was 15 minutes into the actual workout, I was drenched and I was in so much pain. The lead fitness instructor Sarina Jain instructs you not to stop. No pain, No gain! When I finally completed the workout, I could hardly move and it was the best pain I have ever felt.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Sarina Jain guarantees you burn at least 500 calories in an hour. Can you imagine if you do this twice a day? In the first week, I lost 9 pounds and I was so happy! The DVD costs $19.95 on Masaladance.com and if you want you can catch a preview on FitTv as well. Yes it is going to hurt, but you will have a beautiful physique. I am always trying to find a way to be healthy and still keep my curves. This is one way you can do it! Try it out and let me know how it works for you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-317585891174813182?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/08/burn-500-calories-in-hour.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Crystyles)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4nJZmGwrMQc/Snda9szXOBI/AAAAAAAAAA4/xvFNjmiO-vg/s72-c/Vol1_thumb.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-6517272756215482265</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-03T09:30:00.932-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">controversial beauty products</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">beauty bubbles</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Total Beauty</category><title>What???

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hey Bella's... I had the opportunity to review the Revlon Runway Collection. As a first timer user of press on nails, I am impressed. I have used these products on two different occasions. Both occasions, I left the nails on for a week with no adverse reactions. They look very natural and everyone that saw my nails were intrigued that I actually had on press on nails. I would definitely recommend these nails. Go out and purchase a box. On to the review. 
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pro's&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very easy to apply
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
There is no longer a need to be a slave to the nail salon
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Wide variety of nail sizes (I have wide nail beds and I was able to find a size to fit perfectly)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Looks just like a full set
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Adjustable (I don't like long nails, so I was able to file down to a size that I was comfortable with)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Long lasting
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Con's&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
It is possible to weaken your natural nails
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
With strenuous activity it is possible for nail to pop off
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Here is a picture of me modeling the nails

When my cousin offered me the chance to write about my experiences with beauty, I jumped at the chance. I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am a 29 year old, single mother of two. I am very active person that can't afford to have a "bad anything" day. I have modeled in the past and I am a veteran tennis player. I played tennis when I was in my teens and I modeled in my early twenties. My beauty has always been quick and glam, but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Seymone&lt;/span&gt; showed me how I can maintain my beauty even with my "on the go" lifestyle. Besides the make up area, I have always been into fitness. I enjoy all different types of exercising. I am not one of those fitness buffs that is able to crack a walnut with my index finger, but I have curves and enjoy maintaining them. If you do the right fitness plans, you can use them in other areas of your life. I am an event planner and I am an airport operations specialist for a certain airline as well. I have to be able to present myself in the best fashion to keep my income coming. I keep myself very busy, but I maintain my hair, clothes, make up, body, &amp;amp; spirit. I would love to give you tips on maintaining your look as well. I will be posting something new very soon. If you want to ask any questions, I am here and I am happy to help. Talk to you soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-9089880790751396285?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/08/hello-everyone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Crystyles)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-4923246473133674254</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-29T11:55:31.401-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">crystal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">new addition</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">family</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">welcome</category><title>New Addition</title><description>Hey Bella's..

I thought this was a cute list. I wanted to give you reasons why I have been MIA..
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
1. Work: I have a day job.. Yes, I have to work. I cannot blog all day, which I would love to. If you know a way I can blog and make money. Send me an email.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
2. Makeup Artistry: I have been getting so many gigs lately.. I did a movie. Can you believe it. I was so excited about that.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
3. Family/Friends: My family and friends.. It is summer time and I am out and about during the summer.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Winner will be announced soon for the last contest. Prizes will be sent soon.. I have so many reviews to crank out..

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
Hey beauties.. I am here to tell you about a new spin to a product we all know and love. Chapstick! Yes I said, Chapstick; something we all have in our purses. Recently, Chapstick added a new line called True Shimmer. Let's get to it.
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Pro's&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very moisturizing
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Lips feel moisturized for some time
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very pleasing scent (I actually adore the scents)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Easily attainable ( You can find it in most drugstores)
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Very affordable. Price range from $2.99 - $3.99
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Con's&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
For women of color, it may have a slight ashy tone to the lips if you use too much
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Some colors are too frosty
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Overall:&lt;/strong&gt; I would definitely recommend this product. I keep one on me at all times. One on the bathroom sink, in the purse, and in my pants I wear around the house often. LOL. I know crazy but I like to keep my lips moist.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2481800926764676784-8343657288520766680?l=www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.reflectionsofyourbeauty.com/2009/07/chapstick-true-shimmers.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Seymone)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481800926764676784.post-8137935446539766151</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 23:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-08T20:03:48.092-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Reader Appreciation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Giveaway</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seymone</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">weekly giveaway</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">customized</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">unique look</category><title>This Week's Giveaway: Surprise</title><description>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zpICpZ3_HVA/SlUygNXU_xI/AAAAAAAAAcg/PQtlprh6DvE/s1600-h/DSCN0569.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356242860751781650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zpICpZ3_HVA/SlUygNXU_xI/AAAAAAAAAcg/PQtlprh6DvE/s200/DSCN0569.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
