Mia Adora 3D Lashes Mascara

 
Not all are blessed with long, thick & flutter worthy eyelashes so thank goodness for mascara. I am loving this mascara that makes you look like you are wearing falsies.
 
Mia Adora 3D does an incredible job when it comes to mascara, it works.

 
Step one: Once your ready grab that long tube aka the step one magnifying gel and apply 10-15 strokes to the lash making sure it’s evenly covered. Be sure to work on one eye at a time, this is very important. This will help separate the lashes and get them ready to apply the Natural Fibers.
 
Step Two: This is the part where you apply the natural fibers to your lashes, make sure you do this while the magnifying gel is still wet. Be really careful not to apply natural fibers close to your eyeball, I find placing a card under my eye for guidance helps quite a bit. 10-15 strokes of the natural fibers is all that’s needed, must wait 20 seconds for fibers to dry.
 
Step Three: Reapply Magnifying Gel 10-15 strokes, this will help lock in the natural fibers in place.
 
Yay! and you are done!
 
Honestly, I think Mia Adora 3D Fiber Lash Mascara truly delivers an amazing result when you follow the instructions. Mia Adora also goes above and beyond by providing an eBook and following up with you to show you how to make the most of it, that’s great customer service.

Alon Rewind Serum for Redness and Anti Aging Skin




This product comes in two glass bottles, one is a powder, and the other one is an activating liquid. You are instructed to pour the liquid into the power and to shake well before each use. Once the liquid and powder are combined, the product is good for 30 days.

Changes in my skin: I have been using this serum for exactly two weeks now, too recent to see maximum results, but for a minimal results my face is much more brighter. Less red I would say. But, I must say, so far I’m impressed.

Plus, it is all natural and cruelty-free!

Where to buy: You can purchase and/or learn more here on Alon’s website.

IT Superstars Collection Releasing November 20, 2015 on QVC

 
Totally worth buying this makeup line. It works and you will not be disappointed.  Check them out on QVC on November 20, 2015


I absolutely love this pencil! It's a super-flattering shade , even with my multitude of hair colors! I was using brown eyeshadow previously to fill in my brows but this is way more precise and natural looking.

 
Cruelty Free means NO ANIMAL TESTING

 
Celebration Foundation is a pressed-powder foundation that IT Cosmetics claims has a variety of anti-aging properties courtesy of ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, antioxidants, and "hyaluronic filling spheres." I  use a primer under this, and lightly brush this powder over it.

 
Goes on very smooth, has a nice touch of color and lasts all day. In addition it's super hydrating and makes my lips look and feel great. The all-natural formula pampers lips on four different levels: It goes on creamy like a moisturizing lipstick, stays put like a lip stain, deeply hydrates, and delivers potent antiaging ingredients to treat and prevent those itty-bitty lip wrinkles.

 
 
Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Treatment Mascara. Some admirers have asked if I was wearing eyelash extensions! So it works! Unfortunately, this mascara is on the pricy side, but if you regularly purchase false lashes ($5 to $25) this product could potentially save you money in the end.
It dries quickly, doesn't flake or smudge, and is water-resistant. Other than the excellent formula, Hello Lashes mascara also stands out amongst similar products because of its unique brush design: The two-sided tapered brush coats and separates outside lashes, while a small bulb at the end effortlessly reaches inner corner and lower lashes.

10 Behaviors of Genuine People Today





I stumbled across this article on Entrepreneur.com that detailed the 10 behaviors of genuine people today, and I love reading it so much I had to share with you all.

Full credit to the author Steve. I am soaking this all in! Being genuine and surrounding myself with genuine people are what I’m about these days. Hope y’all are doing the same! XOXO
“Whether you’re building a business, a network, or friendships, you always want to look for people who are genuine. After all, nobody wants to work or hang out with a phony. On the flipside, that goes for you, as well. Bet you never considered that.
In case you’re wondering, genuine means actual, real, sincere, honest. Genuine people are more or less the same on the inside as their behavior is on the outside. Unfortunately, it’s a tough quality to discern. The problem is that all human interactions are relative. They’re all a function of how we perceive each other through our own subjective lenses.
Being genuine is also a rare quality. In a world full of phony fads, media hype, virtual personas, positive thinkers, and personal brands – where everyone wants what they don’t have, nobody’s content to be who they are, and, more importantly, nobody’s willing to admit to any of that – it’s becoming more and more rare all the time.
To help you identify this rare breed — in yourself, as well — this is how genuine people behave. 
They don’t seek attention. They don’t need constant reinforcement of their own ego. Where attention seekers have a hole that constantly needs to be filled, genuine people are already filled with self-confidence and self-awareness.
They’re not concerned with being liked. The need to be liked is born of insecurity and narcissism. It creates a need to manipulate your own and other’s emotions. Confident and authentic people are simply themselves. If you like them, fine. If not, that’s fine, too.
They can tell when others are full of it. Perhaps naïve folks can be easily fooled, but genuine people are not naïve. They’re grounded in reality and that gives them a baseline from which they can tell when things don’t add up. There’s a big difference.
They are comfortable in their own skin. In his late 70s, actor Leonard Nimoy said he was closer than ever to being as comfortable with himself as Spock appeared to be. Most of us struggle with that. As Henry David Thoreau observed, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
They do what they say and say what they mean. They don’t tend to overreach or exaggerate. They meet their commitments. And they don’t parse their words or sugarcoat the truth. If you need to hear it, they’ll tell you … even if it’s tough for them to say and for you to hear.
They don’t need a lot of stuff. When you’re comfortable with whom you are, you don’t need a lot of external stuff to be happy. You know where to find happiness – inside yourself, your loved ones, and your work. You find happiness in the simple things.
They’re not thin-skinned. They don’t take themselves too seriously so they don’t take offense when none is intended.
They’re not overly modest or boastful. Since they’re confident of their strengths, they don’t need to brag about them. Likewise, they don’t exhibit false modesty. Humility is a positive trait but it’s even better to just be straightforward.
They’re consistent. You might describe genuine people as being weighty, solid, or substantial. Since they know themselves well and are in touch with their genuine emotions, they’re more or less predictable … in a good way.
They practice what they preach. They’re not likely to advise people to do something they wouldn’t do themselves. After all, genuine people know they’re no better than anyone else so it’s not in their nature to be self-righteous.
All those seemingly different behaviors have the same thing at their core: self-awareness that’s consistent with reality. Genuine people see themselves as others would if they were objective observers. There’s not a lot of processing, manipulating, or controlling going on between what’s in their head and what people see and hear.
Once you get to know them, genuine people turn out to be more or less consistent with the way they initially hold themselves out to be. What you see is what you get. It’s sad that, in today’s world, such a positive quality is at risk of becoming endangered. Not only is it harder to find in others, it’s becoming harder to be genuine ourselves.”

Gisell's Top 5 Steps to Remove Makeup Easily



Do you want to look older than you are? NO? Well then always take off your makeup at night.  It is the single most important part of your daily skincare routine. Cut corners on other things but don’t skip this one.  If you don’t your skin can’t rest and renew while you sleep.

Having said this it is of course important to remove your makeup in the right way.  It certainly shouldn’t take longer to take your makeup off that it does to put it on. I have created my top 5 steps to remove makeup easily.

Gisell's top 5 steps to remove makeup easily are:

Step 1 – Pull your hair back
This takes literally seconds but if you don’t tie your hair off your face you can’t get to all of your face and your hairline.  Makeup and dirt can build up around your hairline. I use a headband and it holds even the baby hairs back and out my way.

Step 2 – Be gentle around your eyes
Easy ways to remove eyeliner and mascara are essential techniques as they are the hardest to get off. Especially if they are water proof makeup. You need to do this gently as the skin around the eyes is sensitive. I use a cotton pad and an oil based eye make-up remover and hold the pad over your lids and lashes for about 10 seconds to allow the remover to dissolve the products gently, before wiping.  For any stubborn bits dip a cotton bud into the remover and dab on the eyelid as needed.

Step 3 – Cleanse and tone
Your daily cleanser should take off any makeup on your face.  Rub the cleanser over your face ensuring you go to the hairline and under your chin, and let it soak in for a few seconds before removing with a flannel or a cotton pad soaked in warm water.  Then put your daily toner onto a cotton pad and rub gently over your face.

Step 4 – Don’t use too much product
Keep the amount of remover, moisturiser or toner on your makeup pads to a minimum.  There is no need to use tons of product to remove the makeup easily… it is easier on your skin to use less and will save you money in the long run. I a all about money savings.

Step 5 – Mask is your friend
If your skin is in need of a quick boost use a good mask. It will do a deeper cleanse from inside the pores. I use masks once a week.

There! Its easy fast and your skin will thank you in the long run.

Detoxifying White Clay Body Cleanser by Murad


 
I am close to enter my 40's, I 'll be 39 soon and Murad has just launched their body care line which is supposed reduce the appearance of aging. Happy Birthday to ME! Ha!
The Detoxifying White Clay Body Cleanser is a cleansing clay that is supposed to richly lather while using Ginger Root Extract to encourage circulation, and Safflower and Sunflower Oils to moisturize. It is scented lightly with lemongrass and vetiver.

This body cleanser had a consistency between a lotion and a cream and lathered quite well. It washed off easy and my body had that residual moisturized feel. I can't tell if it's actually increasing my circulation but the instructions suggest lathering in circular motions from your legs on up.
The clay body cleanser contains ginger root extract to help stimulate circulation while safflower and sunflower oils moisturize the skin to leave it soft and hydrated. The Kaolin Clay gently absorbs oil and draws out toxins from the skin without leaving it horribly dry.
 
Yes it’s rich and thick, but it’s creamy rather than chalky and gloopy, which makes it much more pleasant to apply to your skin.
 
You only need a tiny amount because it lathers up beautifully to create a frothy and luxurious shower experience.
 
It has a delicate, citrusy scent which leaves your skin smelling fresh and clean and it does a great job of leaving your skin feeling soft.

It really did leave my skin feeling soft and nourished and I felt a bit like I was having a spa experience when using it.
 
It’s a very clever little product if you ask me!
Murad Detoxifying White Clay Body Cleanser has to be one of the most fabulous shower products I’ve ever used.

Montenegro Lipstick by Amrezy



Who is one of the best known makeup artist in Instagram? Amrezy  is. She is amazing and talented. I have been following her for years when she lived in NYC. Now she resides in LA and she came out with 3 new lipsticks with LipLand Cosmetics.

I bought the Montenegro and the Rezy. Rezy is a nude color and Montenegro is shown above. I love this color. Feels velvety on my lips and it is a dry lipstick. As she mentions it is important to wear lip balm underneath. I didn't do that so it was a bit difficult to take off. This will be my color for the moment. I will do another look and post wearing Rezy. Stay tuned.
Have you tried them? How do you feel comment below.
Thank You
