Who Doesn’t Love A Good Highlight?

Apr10

highlighter tube 2You know the difference between having your makeup done by a professional and doing it yourself? The highlighting and contouring! It seems like everywhere I look recently there’s someone showing you how to use different color foundations or concealers to paint your face up to contour it. The people in the pictures look crazy, and I don’t know about you, but it looks a little bit difficult to master at home on your own.

Now, in studying makeup artistry, I have learned how to do the crazy looking concealer contouring too, or as my friends like to call it my clown makeup. I do it when I have somewhere important to go, or if I’m having photos taken, and I definitely do it when I am doing someone else’s makeup for photos or events. However, for everyday life and work I don’t need, nor do I have time to do all the crazy concealer contouring tricks.

But I do have one that I do even for my natural look that just gives you that little extra glow. I use a little bit of highlighter above my eye and along my upper cheek bone and it makes a big difference.

I have tons of makeup, I mean it’s out of hand, so when I was looking through my Sephora Birthday gift I found a great Benefit highlighter that came in a tube like a lipstick, and it was a gold color. I like it especially because it was free, but I think a pink tone is better for this highlight. So, I went looking and found a fabulously-affordable dupe for Benefit High Beams ($26) in ELF Cosmetic’s Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal. Ready for this…it costs $1! Does it get any better than that?

You only need a small pearl sized amount each time for both eyes. I make three dots; one in the middle above the eye, one right beside the eye, and one below in the center of your eye on top of your cheek bone and then I rub them together in a “C” shape until it fades to perfect glow. (See pics below)

You have the perfect easy highlight for on the go that will make you glow. This trick will make you instantly look and feel better. Buh-Bye tired looking eyes. Slap on the face make up, your 3D mascara, this highlighter, and some lip gloss and you will look amaze-balls on the go in less than 5 minutes flat. No one will ever know you’re a crazy busy, tired, mom on the go!

Hot Tots!

Apr3

My husband and I religiously watch the Shark Tank; it’s one of our very favorite shows. We also constantly order various products off the show.

hot tots 4I always wanted to have a little boy so I could spike his hair into a mohawk. I think there are few things cuter than a little guy with spikey hair. So when I was pregnant with my son and had serious heartburn, I figured he was going to be born with hair, so I ordered my Hot Tots infant hair gel.

Hot Tots is an all-natural organic, hypoallergenic, soy and gluten free hair care line designed by a regular mom for infants and toddlers. I felt confident in using this product for this reason. So I ordered it and sure enough my son came out with hair and as soon as I thought he was old enough I spiked it. I would say he was about 3 months old when we gave him his first Mohawk. It was adorable.

I really love the Hot Tots Sweet Pea Serum. It’s easy to use, gives great hold, and smells fantastic. I know it’s safe for my sweet baby’s skin, hair, and eyes if he sweats and it dripped. My little man was “The Bird Man” for Halloween, if any of you follow basketball specifically the Miami Heat; you know who I am talking about. He had his awesome mohawk and fake tattoos and he was the talk of the neighborhood.

If you have girls or boys look into this line for your little ones. Not only is it a great product, but your supporting another mom and her small business.

Hot Tots has several other products in its line, so check them all out.

The Longest Lashes Ever With Mascara! No Falsies Needed!

Apr1
My all natural eyelashes and my lashes with 3D mascara!

My all natural eyelashes and my lashes with 3D mascara!

So you might be wondering what you are going to do until your own lashes reach epic length. I found the perfect mascara to make it look like you have eye lash extensions; you get the length and fullness of false lashes without the obviously fake look. It’s by a brand new natural company called Younique and they have awesome 3D Fiber mascara. It goes on in 3 easy steps, gel, fiber, gel and it washes off easily with soap and water. You can repeat the various steps to make your lashes as long as you want, one coat for a quick trip to the grocery store, or 3 coats for a night out on the town.
My lashes are naturally longer plus I use the Grande Lash MD, and then the 3D mascara to create outrageous lashes! Not only do they look longer, but they look fuller too! People stop me on the street constantly to ask me about my lashes and always think I have extensions. Even my mom asked me if I was wearing false lashes the other day, but no, they are all mine!!!!
I was so impressed with the mascara and other makeup because of their natural ingredients that I decided to get involved. I figured I was selling so much walking down the street, that it made sense for me to benefit when others bought this amazing mascara.
Since I placed my order and having been using the 3D mascara, they came out with a new formula that is even better. The one coat of the new formula is equivalent to three coats of the old formula! I put up a picture of my natural lashes and then my lashes on “lash crack” with the old 3D mascara and the other picture shows one eye with the old formula and one eye with the new formula. It’s unbelievable.

Left side is the old formula and the right side is the new!!!! All orders from this blog will get the new formula!

My model has regular mascara on the left side and one coat of the old formula on the right side. When I use a demo mascara with disposable wands you don't get the full results, but you can definitely see the difference!

I admit I have a problem…

Mar10

photoHi my name is Jenna and I’m a junkie. I’m a beauty product, procedure, make-up, anything beauty related junkie. I have a seriously problem… I instantly want to try anything new and exciting! If you tell me about a new product to make me look better, a facial procedure that entails scraping, exfoliating, perming, dying, lightening, brightening, peeling, etc. I will try it.

Needless to say the loss of money on my husband’s credit card bill will be your gain because I will tell the truth. If something rocks, I’ll tell you, if something sucks, I will tell you. If you have something you want reviewed tell me, or if you promote a product and want it reviewed, send it to me and I’ll try it out and write all about it.

I have a line, it’s a procedure where you have blood taken spun and re- injected back into your face, short of that you will probably read about something I tried or am going to try.  My main goal with all of this is to find ways to look and feel great in the least amount of time possible.

Stay tuned, subscribe, and enjoy!

As always your questions and comments are welcomed!

The Dreaded Stretch Marks!

Mar2

It only seems fitting to have my inaugural blog post start the same way my journey as a mom startetummy butterd with a casualty of pregnancy…the dreaded stretch mark! I have to be honest, I was not a big fan of the idea of gaining weight and getting bigger during pregnancy. I was the girl in the gym the day before my due date squatting furiously in an effort to get the party started. I was in the gym my whole pregnancy, we are talking doing push-ups from the floor at 9 months pregnant! I know I am a nut case! 🙂

So having stretch marks was not an option! I had read about a product that guarded against stretch marks and even helped the ones you already had. I figured let’s give it a shot, and at least I tried something. I gotta tell ya, I made it out with NO STRETCH MARKS!!!!!!! I was religious in my application and started early, like before anyone knew I was pregnant(maybe 10 weeks), and used two products every time I showered, morning, night, and anytime in-between. oil

Now, The Spoiled Mama products are a little on the pricey side, but I tell you they are worth every red cent! Plus, they do have a rewards program so they hook you up with a discount when you re-order plus a sample of their other products with each order.

I used both the Bump Gloss and Tummy Butter from my knee up to my neck! I’m telling you, NO STRETCH MARKS! The stretch marks I had on my outer thighs from puberty started to disappear too! I couldn’t ask for anything more. We are talking scars more than 15 years old fading away.

I think the trick is that you need to start early, and keep using after you give birth while your skin is shrinking back to its original size! These are the keys to success! Definitely give these products a try.
