Lately I've been really into beauty or makeup books. So today I decided to share some tips from Lauren Lukes's looks book. Anyone who knows me knows that I love lauren I talk about her all the time and I can honsetly say she's one of my favorite makeup artist!
So in lauren's book she discusses many different topics including skin care, different makeup techniques and most importantly those top request celebrity looks.
so this week were gonna be talkin about how to get those lusious lips!!
It's not just about having flawless skin or sexy eye makeup you gotta keep those lips
sexy and never down playing your makeup!
First step in the sexy pout is to always matt the lips with some concealer
or foundation powder before apply color.
for that cupid's bow we're all hoping to achieve use your favorite lip liner & draw around the
natural line of the lips.
To make your bottom lip look thicker & fuller than the top draw a line lower
than the natural line of the lower lips.
now you can choose your favorite lip stick & gloss.
don't forget the top key for getting sexy lips is to keep them in
good condition. Lauren suggest using vaseline or lip balm they are great base
for lip sticks and will keep your lips ever so moist!
Now I'M not saying your lips will be a complete replica of Angelina Jolie but
if you follow these steps you will see dramatic results.
Here are some of my favorite lips I think these are so terrific espically on camera, enjoy:

PRODUCTS I'M LOVIN' FOR JUNE!
here are some products I've been using everyday or throughout the month of june that I just
had to post about!!!!
LOTIONS/MOISTURIZERS
these products you can find at your local drug stores or
Target.com
jergens natural glow express
I absoultly love this stuff! Using it everyday and it gives your skin a
natural glow & tan with no streaks...start seeing results in 3 days...
Garnier nutritionsite skin renew: ANTI-SUN DAMANGE MOISTURIZER
EVER WONDER HOW SARAH JESSICA PARKER gets her glowy healthy skin?
GARNIER skin line is how and this moisturizer is just one example of lovely skin!
also try garnier detox makeup remover!
my favorite makeup remover
Expert shine control lotion
this is just something that caught my eye at the store and it was only $5 bucks! SUCH
A GREAT DEAL!!!
I really have a huge problem with all over shine but if I apply this underneath my makeup my skin starts
to look glowy but not shiny or oily...which is an A+ for me.
FRAGRANCE/HAIR
VERA WANG GLAM PRINCESS
FRIZZ STYLIN CREAM
This is a product that I got as a gift from sephora for being a V.I.B.!!!! how special does that sound!!
But I really love this stuff it does'nt have too much fragrance and is not too thick. It just smooths the texture of your hair and gives you no frizz, no fly aways and thats what every girl wants!
MAKEUP!MAKEUP!MAKEUP!
mac mineralize skinfinsh natural
I have been using this for several months I even ran out & had to get
a new one. I really really use this everyday! it's the best face powder and
makes my skin look so natural and healthy.
mac mineralize skinfinsh soft & gentle
when I saw this powder in the mac store I thought it would be too dark
or shimmery for me but I just love it so much. It gives my cheeks this glowly
sun kissed look. you can use this as a blush, bronzer, highlighter or for contouring depending on
your skin tone.
NOW FOR THOSE LIPS!
mac viva la glam lady gaga lipstick
This is a lipstick I love to use its so sexy!
ITS a lustre so IT has that sweet scent reminds me of cupcakes!!
I will have a review on gaga and cindy lipsticks coming up shortly.
so this is most of the products I've been using all month long so hopefully
some of these products become your favorites!

WEDNESDAY BEAUTY TIP! 6/23
hello everyone, sorry I've been all flakey on my wednesday beauty tips and I'm kinda late posting this but I promise I will try to post these early every wedneday!
Todays tip comes from the lovely dulce candy tejeda!
dulce candy says the best beauty tip is to BLEND, BLEND, BLEND!!!!
No lines should be shown when dealing with shadow....also remember less is more.

No lines should be shown when dealing with shadow....also remember less is more.
no matter if your doing colorful dramatic, netural or smokey eyes their are several important things to remember.
always have a great primer to prevent that oh so nasty creasing...unless your going for this look:
my favorite primers are Too Faced shadow insurance and Urban Decay primer potion sold at
sephora.com
and probably the most important thing to know about eye shadows and blending is knowing what
brushes to use.
MY TOP PICKS :
SEPHORA DOUBLE -ENDED COLOR TIPS BRUSHES
The first pink brush gives you the perfect complexion. one side for powders and the second for liquid foundation and concealer.
price: $36.00
The red brush is perfect called the grab n go because its so easy and acceptable to carry in your
purse or car. One side is for your powders and the other is for those lids baby an all over lid brush!
price: $32.00
next brush is the everyday eye brush. with its orange fibers including one side for all over the lids and one
side smaller good for building up color.
price: $18.00
lovely purple my fav!
this brush I use everday...one side is an angle good for lining your brows
& eyes (cat eyes so sexy!)
and the other side is in a pencil form great for smoking up those eyes.
price: 18.00
and lastly a new one I just got is so perfect for that winged eye look!
yellow fibers drawing fine lines on one side and the other side gives you the perfect blend.
price: $18.00
all brushes may be purchased at sephora.com also check out the new IT brushes and
platnium brushes.
for cheaper alternatives go to nyxcosmetics.com or check out sonia kashuk brushes at Target stores.
pretty soon I will give a little mini review on sonia kashuk brushes that I use everyday
so stay tune!
so I hope this helped everyone on what to use for blending your shadows enhancing
those perfect colors!

MY MAC COLLECTION!
HELLO EVERYONE, I am so excited about this next post!
I've been collecting mac products for a while and wanted to show you my collection so maybe you could add a little something to your collection or just to get some ideas on what mac products are good.
So first I wanna start off with my MAC PALETTE.
I just got this palette last week and I love it so so much.
here are the following colors I bought and their descriptions:
is the perfect matte non-shimmery white & is my all time favorite highlight color.
just a very matte white good highlight color aswell.
a good yellow base highlight perfect for any skin tone
a frosty highlight & even great for adding to your favorite blush!
a great matte formula perfect for fair to cool skin tones and great for those hazel eyes.
OMG! this is my all time favorite green. it has an intense green color with shimmer.
a dark brown with duo type of shimmer.
oh so steamy baby!
has a blueish green look with shimmery and grayish undertone.
I also have mac shadows in contrast, carbon, bronze, rule and burnt orange very awesome colors you gotta try!
This is my only mac palette I have so far but no matter how many palettes you have it's always good to remember to organize it well. A good way to organize is to have a netural palette, green palette, yellows/oranges, purple/pinks etc.
each shadow from mac will cost you $11 EACH but you can get a 15 custom made palette for about $179.00
some other palettes and shades I have are:
from the mac hello kitty collection
mac too dolly & lucky tom palette
shades include yogurt, rompling, too dolly, stately black, creme royal, paradisco, stylin' and lucky tom.
I also have a few hello kitty single shadows including humid, silver ring and goldmine.
MAC HELLO KITTY LIPGLOSSES:
my favorite ones are fast friends and nice to be nice.
Hello kitty blush in fun & games
all mac hello kitty products are discontiuned (sad) but you can find these on ebay or ecrater.com
mac bubbles lipstick
mac myth lipstick
mac plush lash mascara
So this is my mac collection I hope this helps with your next mac purchases. This was not everything in my collection I could not do it all or we would be here all day!lol
so get your next mac purchase and enjoy free shipping over $50 at maccosmetics.com
