Eyelash Extensions

 Wow I am addicted to lash extensions.  This was my first time getting them put on.  The process took about 2 hours since I wanted them long and full.  They actually feel lighter than strip lashes in my opinion.   In the photos, I am wearing just shadow on my brows and red lipstick.  Isn't that awesome?  No eye makeup whatsoever.  I totally recommend getting lashes.  They make a world of a difference. 

Why did I pay so much for these?  Besides the fact that it is for the New Year, my birthday, and Christmas, I got them for my 9 night cruise to the Caribbeans.  Back in March, on our last cruise, my biggest pet peeve was having to apply lashes after coming back from the islands and having to redo everything.  These extensions are suppose to stay on up to 6 weeks and hopefully I won't need to worry about them.

For my birthday, Christmas, new years, and cruise

Philosophy Turbo Booster C Powder

I have been researching and researching about skincare lately.  If there is an ingredient I found that is said to make "miracles" happen, it would be Vitamin C.  Vitamin C also is know as l-ascorbic acid.  It is an antioxidant.  I learned that Vitamin C, when applied to the skin, has shown to slow down the rate of free-radical damage (sun damage).  It protects the skin from UV and even reverses signs of aging to the skin.  It does this by stimulating collagen, minimize fine lines, scares, and wrinkles, and even gets rid of age spots.  Amazing isn't it?!

Upon my research, I also learned that it Vitamin C goes bad quickly and is highly unstable.  Therefore I learned that it is better to purchase Vitamin C in powder form instead of buying products with Vitamin C already inside the products.  I turned to a trusted company... Philosophy. 

I purchased the Philosophy Turbo Booster C Powder, which contains 0.25 oz of 99.8% high-potency topical Vitamin C powder.  Philosophy states that it protects skin from environmental attacks, brigtens and even skin tone.  The directions say to mix 1/2-1 scoop of powder into your palm with your serum or moisturizer.

I have been using a 1/2 scoop everyday after I wash my face.  I mix it with my sunblock.  I have been using it now for about a week and noticed that the redness on my face has become less.  I also noticed that my skin does look healthier.  I think I am going to continue using this product and will report back.   

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation

My Favorite Foundation


Want flawless, light, even coverage?  This foundation does amazing things.  I genuinely love it.  Make Up For Ever came out with this foundation a couple years ago for people who work in television.  It's made especially for HD and photography.  It's full coverage and looks like natural skin.  I feel that a little goes a long way.  I've used it for about 3 years now and I still love it.  It comes in a convenient pump bottle with 1 oz. for $40.  I get a ton of complements when I use it.  It's money well spent.

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Daily Face Shield

I cannot stress enough how important it is to wear sunblock, especially one that is SPF 30 and above.  Below is a product that I use. 



This Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Daily Face Shield has SPF of 40.  I just finish this product and I loved it because it was an awesome product under makeup.  It was extremely lightweight and did not look oily.  It's texture is a little runny but that is what makes it so light.  It made my skin feel so smooth and I used it instead of a primer.  I always look for a sunblock that would be good under makeup and this sunblock was it.  Laura Mercier advertised it as being oil controlling, sheer, lightweight, and allowing skin to adapt to extreme climates.
