Perfect Autumn Eyes

Now you guys know that when it comes to Autumn and fall, I AM YOUR GAL!  I have done everything from hair styles to shoes!  SO this look hit me!

First you take a nice golden shade and sweep it on your entire lid.  Then add some creme to your tear ducts.  Then add some orangey- red to your crease.  Then line your waterline with brown eyeliner.  And apply Mascara and you finished, you should come up with something like this-

SKINY BROWS!!! HELPPP!!!

Dear Beauty Detective,
I have recently tweezed my eyebrows for the first time and they are way to skin and short!!! Help me!  I don't know where to start.  My parents won't let me wear makeup and I wish I had my old out of control eyebrows back.  HELPP!!!   -Skinny Brows

Dear Skinny Brows,
I have had the same thing happen to me.  What you need to do is grow your eyebrows back to they're original size and shape.  Since you are not allowed to wear makeup, try and ask you mom to purchase you an eye brow pencil.  It is not technically considered a makeup product because they are used for emergencies!  I made this chart for you to show you how you should tweeze your brows again!
  A should be lined up with the outer corner of you nose
If it isn't your tweezing to far away.  You want your eyebrows to be thicker in this area.  Fill in the
A section with an eyebrow pencil to re-create the natural shape of your brows!  
Section B should have a slight arch, so tweeze thinner in this area to create a beautiful arch.  The arch should be in line with where your eyes become more round. 
C section should be the ending section.  If you look at the graph you can see that it is a perfect angle to the end of your eye and the tip of your nostral.  So this needs to be tweezed to a thin ending point.

I hope this chart worked for you!

My July Favorites- Part 2

Now for the first cosmetic:

The glimmersticks in Avon.  It smoothes out really well, it doesn't smear or wrinkle, or crease.  It stays in place with light or dark coverage.

2nd Favorite Cosmetic is the Ultra Color Avon "Country Rose" lip stick.  It gives a nice light coverage, it has a bit of pigmented stain in it so it does stain lips, and it just works wonders!

3rd Favorite Cosmetic is the Avon Mascara Wash off Waterproof Mascara in Black!  It has always been a favorite of mine for SUCH a long time.  It washes off but it is water proof.  It is great!

4th Cosmetic is the Avon Natural Eye Shadow Quad!  It is Awesome the color last SUPER long it is shimmery and glittery but not over done.  Great coverage.  FANTASTIC!

That is the end of my July Favorites!  Love writing!  Bye!

P.S. This was in Dedication to my friend (who shall be nameless for safety reasons)  She is awesome and we e-mail so much!  Love ya **** ****** (her name is in those little *s').

BYE!

My July Favorites!

Hey Guys!  I know I haven't blogged in such a long time, and I know that it is a little late to make my July Favorites but why not?

Okay! Here we go starting with body products!

My first body product is the "Country Apple body lotion/moisturizer" from Bath and Body Works, because it is so rich in moister and it still is non greasy and easy to layer underneath powder or scented perfume.

2nd other body lotion from Bath and Body works is the "Coco Cabana" body lotion, it is enriched with aloe vera and shea butter!  Yeah!  Soaking for the skin!

3rd favorite body lotion is the "Secret Wonderland" Body lotion from Bath and Body Works!  It smells like vanilla and cookies.  It also was inspired by Alice and Wonderland the movie! Yeah!

Okay now let's move onto the Facial Products!!!

First Product!  Is theeeee..... *drum role*!.......   It is crazy how this stuff works.  When I get breakouts I over lap products to reduce it and then my skin gets dry and itchy, so this was perfect to use in the morning, because it isn't greasy it smells nice it doesn't clog pores! Perfecto!

2nd Products in the facial area!...  STRIDEX PADS! Yeah! I know you usually hear from me saying "Skin ID works good!"  which is true but my skin underwent a MAJOR breakout, and I didn't know what I could do to prevent it with Skin Id so when I used Skin ID it only reduced redness, not swelling or blemishes.  So I took a break from Skin ID and started to use Stridex and it made a remarkable change.

3rd Facial product...  The CVS After Sun Aloe Vera.  I use it every night and I wake up with my skin feeling cooled and refreshed and moisturized.  It smells good too!

4th product is the Clean and Clear Persa Gel.  It doesn't exactly get rid of acne over night but it reduces it quite a lot!

Next are my shampoos!  OKAYYY!

Skin Advice

 I know I seem more like a makeup person, but I am more of a skin person.  I am a skin care freak.  I love learning how I can keep my skin looking beautiful and clean all day long.  I have given out so many tips to my readers, my friends, my family, pretty much everyone, on skin care.

Recently I gave out an 8 or 9 page book to a boy who needed desperate help with his skin.  My Grandma gave his name out to me and told me to put in some of my time into writing a small book on how to keep skin clean with easy steps and ingredients you can easily find at home.

I wrote about so many natural ingredients, such as- Honey, Oatmeal, Milk, Avocado, Baking Soda, Grapes.  I loved that I can just sort of, vent out all of what I know about some natural ingredients that are easily mistaken as just "Cooking Needs".  Which is not true at all.  I am glad about the followers I have, and I am glad that I have the small amount of time that I do, to give out my advice to the world.

This is not really a tutorial but just sort of a thanks, to Blog Spot viewers on Blogger.com who are reading. I appreciate it!

P.S. If the kid who I made that book for is reading this,  I hope you liked it! :)

The Most Used Hair Mask!

I know some of you have already tried this one, but I have never tried it, but I am going to try it very soon.
This Hair Mask helps rejuvenate hair cells to multiply, so if you have thin or brittle hair this is the one for you!  If you have Thick hair, you shouldn't do this mask because it will make your hair greasy and too thick!

Let's jump into it!

You will first need to go to the grocery store and pick up some of these ingredients:

1 Ripe Avocado
1 Table spoon of Honey
1 Table spoon of Extra virgin Olive Oil
1 bowl to mix everything in
1 tablespoon

Okay so first you want to split the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the inside.  Now mash the avocado in a bowl until paste.  Then take the honey, and Extra Virgin Olive oil and mix it into the avocado.  Mix this paste into damp hair. Keep on for about 10 to 15 minutes then wash it out of your hair.  It may take a while for your hair to get fully clean because the avocado can build up and create nots.

  Hope this works for you!

The Best Eye Makeup Remover Ever Used!

According to my personal taste, I don't like taking off my eye makeup with soap and water.  I use heavy waterproof makeup so it is a little harder to take it off!  So I decided to google what I can use as an alternative to an expensive professional eye makeup remover.

I found 2 FANTASTIC ingredients that are much better than using Makeup removers, or soap, because it thickens your eyelashes, and it is safe on almost everything!

What are these ingredients?  EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, and PETROLEUM JELLY!

Olive Oil helps build up natural oils on your eyelashes, and Petroleum Jelly build fibers to contain those natural oils, plus both these ingredients have a greasy texture so it takes eye shadows, eye primers, mascaras, and eyeliners right off.

Depending on your skin type, I wouldn't use petroleum jelly or olive oil of your entire face. Your foundation, powder, concealer, ect. should come off easily with soap and warm water, If not, your using to much!

Petroleum Jelly you can find at a drug store, and Olive oil you can find at Walmart, Target, pretty much any grocery store!
