How to Get Perfect, Full Eyelashes

Want long, thick lashes without wearing falsies? See how to get them naturally

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article We've come to terms with our mousy hair color, our pasty skin -- even our ugly toes. But we can't accept our stubby, sparse wisps for eyelashes. That's why we talked to Courtney Akai of Courtney Akai Lash Boutique in New York City to find out what we can do to have long, lust-worthy lashes. See her tips

Hi Gorgeous! The holiday season is officially open! Not the retail rush kind where everything Thanksgiving and Christmas was in the aisles at Costco and other stores during the month of August-but, now that we have had our turkey dinners it's time to look our best for family gatherings and holiday photos or parties!
I've tried several Nads products and have really enjoyed them and this new one is a real treat! It's simple and easy to use-trust me, even I could use it without error.
To give you the instructions from the experts I have posted their video and instructions. Enjoy!


1.Thoroughly clean your eyebrow using Nad's Cleansing Wipes.

Remove wand cap and twist the end until gel appears at wand tip. When first used, this may take up to 20 twists.
2.To ensure the Gel melts with your body heat slowly and firmly apply a thin layer of Gel in the direction of hair growth (hair growth should be at least 3mm long).

Only apply the gel over the hair you wish to remove. Any excess will wash away with water.
3.Immediately place backing strip over the gel and firmly smooth over with your fingertips in the direction of hair growth.

Holding skin taut, quickly pull strip off in opposite direction of hair growth.
4.Remember to hold skin taut with one hand and to pull close to the skin rather than up into the air.

To soothe your skin following hair removal, apply Nad's Depileze Soothing Balm in a circular motion.

Hello Gorgeous!
Nads natural hair removal gel was sent to the blog and I test everything so...here goes!
You don't need heating and it's water rinsable. It's designed for legs, bikini line, arms and underarms. It is dermatologically tested and a natural formula. So here I go waxing my arms.

Note: After the waxing, a few moments later my arms became a bit red and itchy. I really think this is due to my extremely dry skin? I've put some aloe vera gel on it and suspect it will be better real soon!

p.s. Monte Carlo movie coming out soon! Are you a Selena Gomez fan? Come see me on Monday June 13th at Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe. I will be doing a free 'Monte Carlo makeover' for gals of any age from 1-8. I'm keeping the product line a secret so you'll just have to come see who it is for yourself!

p.s.s. Be sure and follow me on Twitter so you don't miss the Tweet with the exact location and makeup brand!

I can't get enough of purple

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article See the reasons why I'm digging purple eye makeup this season and the products I'm using to get this look. See makeup

Well, here's to the week in review:
Starting with a wee pic of Casey and I at the Arizona Bridal Affair last weekend. Wow, I can hardly believe that was last weekend because this week went by in the blink of an eye!
The Arizona Bridal Affair show was action packed with lots of brides getting ready for their weddings and with grooms in tow to the groom room the event just kept an even pace of busy!

Today the beauty bubble is amazing and I love purple eyeshadow too! Now in Arizona the month of October becomes very busy for social engagements and activities because of the great weather. We are currently in a heat snap...yes, Arizona is having an unseasonably hot start to Fall though I am so looking forward to all that is ahead.

In October, both blogs, this one and the http://cherelynn.com/ will be featuring new products, more how to videos teaching makeup lessons for the everyday lady, and some interviews with beauty product inventors!

Stay tuned and come back often. Remember to comment and subscribe because I love hearing from you!

Budget Beauty Special: Secrets to Looking Luxe

Total Beauty editors use drugstore makeup and hair products to recreate celeb looks

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article We each selected a celeb beauty look that we covet and then tried to copy it -- minus a hair and makeup team. How'd we do? See looks

Hello there beautiful readers!! Since Cherelynn is out of town this week she asked if I would mind writing a post for her blog, I am very honoured. My name is Melonie and I've known Cherelynn for many years, however our friendship has really blossomed in the last 6 months or so. I am so blessed to have a friend in Cherelynn, but I'm sure you already know how amazing and wonderful she is since you are here reading this!!

I thought I would give waxing my own legs a whirl, they seem to be the simplest, fastest and most painfree spot I get waxed, so I thought it would be a safe bet!(especially since I am NOT an aesthetician!) I used Nad's body wax strips which contain natural beeswax and come with desensitizing Kava wipes.
These can be purchased either online or at your local Walmart or Target!

*So I tried it on Wednesday eve, I was grooming for my 5th Anniversary date the following eve. I have a feeling that the box sat out in the sun and/or the heat, there was a lot of wax on one end in a little clump. Both sides of every strip were sticky as a result! I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my sniffer, but the smell really reminded me of leather?! Not really strong and over powering but definitely there!! I followed the directions on the box exact. I felt so proud of myself, like I was a pro!! However the end results were less exciting and definitely not that of a pro!! It took about 60% of the hair, so much better then that sandpaper hair remover I've seen around, but who wants little patches of hair here and there?! It looked weird, like I had mange or something!! I would probably try it one more time, just simply because my results may have been skewed because of the melted wax, causing uneven strips?! If I get better results, I would be happy to do it myself, otherwise, I'm gonna stick to my miracle-worker-waxer-lady!!
