Go Out With Some Glitter!

/

Whether you are ringing out the old or bringing in the new, they isn't a better way to do it than with a little - say Glitter. That is what Tarte Cosmetics had in mind when they created this great Glitterati Eye Kit, an exclusive to Sephora.

To get Tarte's "Glitterati Eye" look, simply stroke Glitterati over your Lights, Camera, Lashes!and be sure to concentrate on the ends to get the real WOW factor. The eye liner can be used on it's own or over a darker liner to really intensify the look. The Glitterati mascara is great to run highlights through your hair to give it a bit of silver sparkle too.

Like I said, this is a Sephora exclusive, so be sure to get over there right away or order online. It is a $48 value for just $30.

And if you are a Tarte girl and think you have what it takes to strut you stuff along side Tarte's creator Maureen Kelly on QVC, be sure to visit this link to find out how you could have the chance to win this once in a lifetime opportunity! 

Happy New Year!

Sheer + Blonde = One Happy Lady!

I have seen it, tried it, and now I bought it. I am sure you have seen it on the drugstore shelves too - John Freida's Sheer Blonde Hair Care line.

sheer_blonde_shampoo.jpgI received a sample of the Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo and Glistening Perfection Conditioner for Platinum to Champagne Blondes in the mail last week, and gave it a try when I ran out of my regular shampoo. If I had picked the formula myself, I probably would have picked the Honey to Caramel Blonde colors, as I am a "strawberry" blonde. But I liked this shade on me.

Eyebrows.

/

Many say that the eyes are the window to your soul. And your eyebrows are their perfect frame.

As I am trying to perfect my frame, I am first growing in my eyebrows. And I. Hate. It. 

You see, in a few weeks I have an appointment with one of the eyebrow queens. And I was told that I should not wax, pluck, tweeze - do anything to them until the appointment. I hate the straggly hairs. They are growing every which way - ugh! I am filling them in as much as I can with eyebrow pencil, but they are a mess.

I wondered if there were any way possible to get them to grow in faster, so they look at least a little more uniform. In doing my research, I found a product called appropriately enough, Eye Grow Brows! from Ramy Beauty Therapy. Packed into a mascara like tube is a clear gel enriched with Aloe Vera, Wheat Protein, and Yeast Extract.

Hmmm. I have been applying it nightly before bed, and my eyebrows are really beginning to fill in. I honestly do not know if it is the formula working it's magic or not , as I have not grown in my eyebrows like for in years. But if it is making me think that they are growing in faster, then that is good enough for me.

Eye Grow Brows! is $25. Ramy has some other innovative products on his website as well, so be sure to check it out.
