Hair... Hair... Hair...

As a stylist I love to change up my looks, and HAIR is key to that change sometimes. I absolutely trip on how a certain hairstyle will pull an outfit together to make it look either BLAH or BAM!!! I am a huge fan of big hair.. I love big curly locks, and once in a while sleek and straight is the jam too. I have been very fortunate to get away with almost any hair-do I choose... *whew* Here are a few tips on helping you select a new look-wig, or hair do. Always take into consideration what you DO like about your hair as it is now... Maybe the length, color, etc... What you DO NOT like about your current hairdo, and also what you DO NOT want your new hair to look like. Beware of stylists who push what they want you to wear- on you- opposed to what you WANT. Granted you must take into consideration a stylist may very well have an eye to tell you what is and is not going to look good, but if it is so far off from what you really want- ensure that it is not what you want and EXPRESS that to them as well. I do not like stylists who do not listen! I don't like bangs- so I better not have any a side swoop is fine, but full out bangs?- NO. Just pay attention to what truly looks good on you and you'll be able to get just about any hairstyle you like on you as well. It's about doing what works- not what we want all the time. What's your favorite looks on you? what looks do you not like?

Out Of The Loop & 1 Item Beauty...

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit folks... but I am back. As you see the title says out of the loop, and I did want to go over a small but important factor in daily rituals of beauty. It is okay to be out of the loop sometimes when it comes to a routine- especially if it's almost daily. Now that may vary when it comes to dieting/excercise and things of that nature- you know your habits when it comes to those things, but I am speaking beauty regimen. Don't be ashamed of your natural beauty, and be too into the makeup bag to allow for a day or two to be out of the loop. I recall a period where I thought almost everyday was somewhat like I HAD to wear some kind of makeup, but even there still never allow yourself to get so used to looking like your "madeup" self that you forget what you do REALLY look like, and be able to love it just as much. I have actually gotten some alter-ego mentality going when I have some "off" days... Granted the "other me" doesn't have a different name, it's just when I see people out and about they look like- Wow, she does exist...lol As much as I love to get made up, and change up my looks, there are days I am plain too lazy to put in the time to apply everything, or anything at all. And I smile in the mirror because I look fine without it. It also allows my skin re-coup to get gunk out my pores, and skin a good breath of unbothered air... One trick that I do have up my sleeve that makes you "look" made up without much of anything. Are you ready for it? You only need 3 things... Please tell me you're really ready... OK... here goes: A pair of lovely lashes (they do not have to be dramamtic at all), lash glue and some tweezers (to apply)! Believe it or not, on a day when I do not feel like applying makeup, but i want a 'feminine' touch... I slap on a pair of falsies, and look all made up simply because my lashes are all prim and lucious... The best part it is takes all of 2 minutes. Don't believe me? Try it... WITH NO MAKEUP- only lashes and you'll have your almost favorite makeup look: None... I call it the Just Lashes look!!! People will be so drawn to looking at your lashes they do not recall you had NOTHING else on... Hmmmm...

If you could only take one makeup item with you for a month long trip, which/what would you take? Mine would definitely be a pair of Lashes.. NO DOUBT.

Until Next Time...

Does Your Inner Beauty Match The Outer???

There has been a thought that I have had often times, and I am now going to pose it. How many times have you seen someone male or female and said to your self, "She's really pretty, but her attitude makes her not so cute..." or "He's ok looking but he has a great personality"? Now generally this type of comment sits with a female being cute, but a nasty attitude can put a dimmer on her beauty. However, I have noticed a woman that may not be over the top beautiful "looks wise" but has an outstanding personality and a great aura about herself outshines plain pretty any day. Does your inner attitude match your outer beauty? There have been many time where I have been nasty acting with an attitude, and noticed it didn't get me anywhere. Of course this is when I was younger, but now that I have grown up, I realize that we must project the energy we want in return. Granted this energy is not 100% fool-proof, because there will be some unwanted attention, or whatnot, but the woman in you will definitely know which battles to let be, and nasty attitude battles are one of them. Allowing yourself to see the sunshine in almost any situation and remaining positive in a bunch of negativity... Show the world your beauty, confidence and talent in a humble manner... That is when true beauty shines. Again I ask, does your inner beauty shine as much as your outer?

Until next time...

Kissable Lips...

We all love lucious lips.. well most of us do anyway. What are some of you favorite lip products? As for myself M.A.C's lipglass will alwys have the numbr one spot. Wuth items like Lipglass & Dazzleglass you simply cannot go wrong. Of course the original Lipglass is sticky, but jeeze do you get any glossier? To keep lips supple ensure you drink plenty of water, and also renenber that a slight exfoliation on the lips with a "toothbrush or "scrub style" cloth in gentle circular motion remoed dried lips, helping them maintain a unchapped look. What are some of you favortie lip products?
