The new RED Stick look

June 24th 2008 20:19

Do all of you remember the retro-60,70,80’s look? Madonna, Goldie Hawn and a few other’s use to sport this trendy look. Well, it quickly went out of style, with the turn of the decade: 90’s is here!!! I grew up in the 80’s and at the time, loved the style. But who doesn’t love and try to ride the trend tide in their decade? We all do.

The blue eye shadow, the poofy hair, the curly perms, the leather w/zipper jackets, the whole nine yards. You’ve probably seen that some aspect of this past trendy style is back and a big hit in Hollywood. Lipstick, especially. I personally, really use to hate RED lip color. I felt it made people look like vampires or zombies. But Hollywood has been incorporating the color red, very nicely, I must say, in movies and on celebrities. I like the new, up to date, red lip color, especially with the opaque face.

I brings back the whole Eva Gardner and Audrey Hepburn. Eva Gardner and Audrey Hepburn as that timeless look of the early 50’s. CLASSIC….one might say! The flowing waved/curled hair, clean matte complexion, red or other color of lip tent. Audrey Hepburn and Eva Gardner were truely trendsetters of their day and they continue to be style and trendsetters of this day. Kate Hudson, Eva Longoria, Julia Roberts and more has sported these looks recently at award shows and while on outings.(paparazzi gets all the good shots!!).

Guys, I just love the look so much, I had to write about its beauty!!!!

Stay GORGEOUS!!

PUFF be Gone!

June 19th 2008 03:53

Puff Be Gone

I am a full-time mom, student and wife and my life is SO hectic, 24 hours a day. Sometime’s, I barely get the minimum amount of sleep. The evolution of my world, pretty much, keeps me routinely busy. Sometime’s when I’ve pulled a late nighter, you know, surfing the web, blogging, research, myspace, that whole deal, I wake up the next morning and my eyes are so big and puffy, it’s looks as if I’d been crying my heart out all night before.

There’s a lot of stuff on the market today for eye puffiness. I’ve tried Avon-Eye Renewal for puffiness, Neutrogena, Olay and others. At the start of my usage or regime, these products felt so good to my face and skin, there was a tingling feeling, you know, the feeling that it’s REALLY WORKING. To me, all worked pretty fine, considering, but with routine use, it could pretty darn expensive, and aren’t we all on some kind of budget nowadays? So, I scratched that and began my own search for a cheaper solution to my problem that I could also use consistently. I was speaking with my great-grandma, bless her heart( 90 years old) one day regarding this issue and she let me on, what I thought was an outdated old-wives tale treatment for puffiness, Of course, I thought I did have to used something that was at least within this DECADE (LOL). But told me that she and her sisters use to use fresh, under-rip CUCUMBERS. I said cucumbers, “I think I might have heard that from somewhere previously.” I definitely did give it a try and truthfully, it superseded my expectations you guys. Cucumbers really do work to prevent and treat puffiness under the eyes. Just wanted to put such a great tip out there for you guys, it worked for me and I believe you’ll enjoy also.
