I ate too much.......

 Thanksgiving is almost here!!! Whether you are braving jeans this year ,or sticking with an elastic waist band here are some tips for the morning after when you are looking like you ate too much, and slept too little.

Exfoliate: Get all the dead yuckies off .

Tinted Moisturizer: Not only is it moisturizer, but it gives you the glow you are missing.

Eye Lash Curler: This will help your eyes appear larger, which will make you look less sleepy. No one would ever guess you were waiting in line at Target at 11pm.

 Blush: No, it is not just something your mom wore in the 90s. Peach tones actually brighten your skin, and take the focus off your puffy eyes.

 From Your Grandmothers box of remedies.... YAMS.  When you lay down to digest put a slice of yam on  each eye. Best Puffy eye treatment around. Regular potatoes will work if that's all you have, but yams are packed with an arsenal of nutritional fortitude.

 Happy ThanksGiving, and have a safe Happy "Pink Friday"

Fall 2012 Trends

    Well my darlings lets get our fashion on for the fall.   Whether  you like to stay on the curve of whats hot, or you like to use the information to go against the grain. You still  need to know what the trends are for the upcoming season. 

 Hair 
 Color : According to behind the chair Its going to be a Honey kind of Fall. Even Blondes are adding  some warmth this season.

 Style:  Hair styles are being kept casual this fall. Maybe a very loose side braid. making hair a little unkept, but still looking as if you styled it is key. Sorry rolling out of bed, and heading to work  to find your pixie cut standing in nine different directions does not constitute as casual.

  The word elegant is being thrown around a lot. From pony tails to simple pin styles.

 Feathers are still around, but it is looking like we are moving into  more of an accessory, rather than an extension.

Head wraps are the newest accesory that you should be adding to your arsenal.

 Curly haired girls you will be happy to know that your go to hair style the messy bun is definitely in.

 Nails:
 Shatter is OUT! I have to tell you I am a wee bit excited that shatter is heading out the window. Lets not hold on to this one ladies. just let it go.

 Earth and Water colors are In.  As are the unconventional french ( two toned mani that is not the basic pink and white), and abstract nail art.

  *Keep a look out for the Muppet collection by OPI due to come out this November. No it is not very earthy, but it is awesome.

 Acrylic and other nail enhancements are still out. Natural nails look like they are here to stay.


 Makeup:
  metallic, old Hollywood glam, and lush lashes.
 Invest in some great mascara, red lip stick and mix up your bronze, silver and gold shadows with your champagne, copper and gunmetal liners, and you are headed in the right direction.

BROWS!!!!!!!!
 stop over plucking and then drawing on your eye brows.... please.  Brows are full this season. the way they should be every season.  For the most part I will tell you fashion is a personal statement. You do not have to follow the trends, but not when it comes to brows. Allow me to replace your personal judgment for my own on this matter. Drawn on eyebrows are RIDICULOUS STOP IT! Have a little more respect for the frames of your face.
