BeRad Faux Mink eyelashes & Natural Eyelash Adhesive Remover Review

Hi ya Gorgeous!
TGIF! Happy Friyay! Woot woot! Get ready for the weekend!
 Last weekend in June...are you ready? July is almost on us - what have you got planned for Independence Day? Ahh! Nothing in my house! We have a few choices to choose from but we are not on the road like we had planned to be. So hello super hot firework show where it most likely will be 100 degrees or more at 9 pm when the firework show goes on.

I digress... more on fireworks next week. Now, let's talk about these beautiful, light weight, fluffy faux mink lashes from BeRad Cosmetics!  I'm working my way through the samples I received and so far, so good. I like the natural "Boss Babe All Day" set best and will use the bolder pairs for events and parties.

This video is a review of how to use the natural eyelash adhesive remover kit that I also received as a sample. It is a cruelty free vegan product with essential oils at the base of it's formula to clean your lashes.  I always get at least 3-4 wears out of my lashes so I'm thinking with this product, I just may get even more!

I received samples from BeRad for review - thank you BeRad!

I'm loving the fun flirty vegan cruelty free lashes! I've got more pics of the lashes being worn on my Instagram. Enjoy the video!

Wine Wednesday: What Kind of Wine Can You Get at Dollar General?

 Hi ya Gorgeous,
 Woot woot! It's Wednesday! You know what that means this summer on MakeupUniversity ...wine time!
This has been a fun series to do while my son has been away on a road trip and at aviation camp.

 So today's wine review has a funny story to it and I tell it in the video. Now what's coming up next is a review of the BeRad lashes and the cleaner kit that came with them. Stay tuned for that and for now, enjoy the video!




Thank you for joining me today! Welcome to the new visitor and welcome back to those returning. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do!

Today I have a wine review and it just might be the best yet. Why? Is it because it's a super high point fine rare vintage wine. Nope. Better.

Watch the video and enjoy! If you have a recommendation for a great $10 and under - please comment below! I just may review your suggestion!

Road Trip with Makeup University

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday from a road trip through the state of Arizona. Thankfully, Prescott is not as hot as home! It's filled with lots of pine trees, and my son's summer camp and boulders!

(Sunset Separates Tankini)

Today I have a video tour of the beginning of the trip. I highly recommend our lunch spot The Barley Hound and I so wish we would have known ahead of time that there was a bluegrass festival going on! We caught the last two songs of the event and missed out on buying fresh kettle corn!

Thanks for watching today! If you haven't subscribed yet, would you? Thanks!

This summer, MakeupUniversity posts are all over the road. Literally. The fam is traveling and I have a wee report from the road.

Next up - a review of some new eyelashes that just came in. So excited to try BeRad!

Say NO to Single Use Plastic: Summer Travel Update

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

Hello Monday and hello last week in June. Whoa. Weren't we just talking about  how fast the time is going? Ok, for me personally, it feels like I'm on a rocket to August when my son goes back to school and it's just to fast!

We started the day with an amazing hike in Prescott Arizona at Constellation Trail. Whoa is this place perfect for families! The trail head has a big parking lot. There is a porta potty at the first split of trails. Some kind hikers have left walking sticks next to the main map for anyone who may need assistance. The trail is very well marked - just look for the white dots to follow! Now, the real joy is the boulders! They are perfect for climbing for all ages and levels of physical activity. So good!

After that we had a great meal at The Barley Hound - so pics are on Instagram!  Then we ended the day in the hotel pool. I'm enjoying the cool water in my Sunset Separates tankini that is a mix and match set so I can get the size I need on top and on bottom. 

Now, when we got into the room and ready for showers we saw the single use toiletries. I know that there is a time of need when you have to use them, but, with a moment of planning, you can be more efficient in your recycling, teach the next generation about how to care for the oceans and our Earth and get more value from the products you own at home.

Enjoy this video!




First stop has us at a hotel and we need to have a lil' chit chat about single use plastics. Thank you for watching - please subscribe if you have not!

Meet Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Body Wash

Hi ya Gorgeous!
TGIF!
Happy Friyay!

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom comes out today and we are en route to see the film. My son has been a big dinosaur fan since birth - and then came dinosaur LEGO and now, dinosaur movie.  He is happy and I have liked all of the Jurassic franchise films, so today is going to be a fun day.

In blog news, I just received a sample of the new Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Body Wash!
Wow - this stuff is good. Now, it's not a thick rich creamy body wash like you may know from other Dove body wash products. It's not the light foam of the pump Dove body washes - it's in between.

It's got a light texture with easy rinsability. I swear it feels almost like a gel consistency that lathers into a smooth foam. Me likes!
As for anti-stress? I think that's the micellar as an ingredient and maybe if I continue to use regularly it will help me with my stress! I have so many irons in the fire and I'm busy stoking all of 'em!

And, back to Dove Micellar Body Wash. I like that after washing up from a sweaty run, and getting out of the chlorinated pool, when I take a shower with the Dove Micellar Body Wash, my skin feels smooth and hydrated - not tight and dry like the high heat of Arizona has had it lately.

This product is great for sensitive skin. The scent is very light, not perfumey, and maybe a hint floral?

Overall, I'm a big fan and will continue using and watching for "anti-stress" properties. In my photo, you can see my other fave Dove product, the body polish! It's gentle but effective with a hint of luxury in a drugstore product. Both of these can be found on Amazon for fast Prime shipping or at Walmart for about  $6.

Now, a word from Dove's website:

• Micellar water cleanser that gently cleanses sensitive skin

• Soothes the skin against environmental stressors

• Light, hydrating feel and refreshing formula that nourishes skin

• Purifies and cleanses to reveal soft, smooth skin

• NutriumMoisture delivers natural nutrients to the skin pH balanced formula

• Suitable for daily use on body and face 

Wine Wednesday featuring Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Welcome to Wine Wednesday!

Ok, the 4th of July holiday is coming up and this wine is perfect in budget and palate range for a bbq get together!

I found this at the Walmart though it is also available at Total Wine. The Three Thieves brand has 4 varietals and a really unique story to how they got their start!


Hope you enjoy the video and if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet - please do!

Mask Monday with Miss Spa Hydrate sheet mask

Hi ya Gorgeous!
I hope you had an awesome Father's Day celebration. Even for those who do not have a good relationship with a natural father figure, you can always go to Abba God and trust that He is a good good father!

I have really enjoyed blogging as much as I have these past weeks that my son has been road trippin' with his Grandparents across the United States. I'm writing this as he is en route to home!

I do have a the "Wine Wednesday" blogged and scheduled for you - and - I have a special event skincare blog post coming up for you, and there are some product reviews coming up also.

Though, for me, it's back to super summer Mom and Cub time! Oh Moms, especially you young moms with your lil bairns still nursing, listen to me, the time goes by so fast. I know. I know. Everyone says that and you are currently so tired beyond belief and there are so many sleepless nights!

But! Trust that it's just for a season and before you know it, you will have a tween who is planning on his 17th birthday party and how I can just put the birthday cake in a ziploc bag and he will eat it on his way to the Air Force Academy.  Whoa. Where does the time go?  I'm making it a greater priority now more than ever to soak in every moment I can with him because the time is short!

So speaking of short time, today is Monday and for me that means "mask" Monday. I have it scheduled on my Google calendar, synced to my phone, and also written in red ink on the desk calendar that I need to mask my skin. I have a plan to mask a minimum of 2 times a week and preferably 3!

I'm using the Miss Spa hydrate sheet mask and it's a must in the super dry, hot, windy Arizona weather! I sit down to read or watch a show and let the mask set, then pull off the paper and massage any serum left on from the mask into my skin and finish with my moisturizer.

 If you need a great mask, try this, I get mine on Amazon or you can find at Ulta Beauty!  Plus...I have seen a section at Walmart that has a wide assortment of facial masks! No excuses! Take good care of you!

Because you are worth it!

Pickle slush from Sonic Drive In - First Impression!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh girl - it is so hot here. Like Arizona went from luke warm to 113 over night! I've been in Burbank and it was warm and humid, but doable. Then I went down to Oceanside and it was 68! Cloudy! I was in love!  I swear, I have such a fascination with the weather, I just may start a second career and call the days weather because it's just so dang interesting!

Now, lately, MakeupUniversity has taken a summer stroll from the normal makeup, how to, review, hair and skincare with some fragrance posts to a Wine Wednesday format and some First Impressions - this video and blog post are about my first impression of the new flavor at Sonic Drive In. Pickle!

Wine Wednesday with Guenoc from Gelson's in Hollywood

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Wednesday! Before I get started on the wine review, a very deep and heartfelt thank you to the men who fought in the battle of Normandy on this day, freedom is not free! Thank you veterans!

I am home for a few days before launching out again - and this wine and photo is from the recent trip to Burbank. Before I got started to work, after a long but easy drive from Arizona to Burbank, I went for a 6 mile uphill hike to the Hollywood sign.

 Oh such a good time! As nerdy as it sounds, I was so overcome by the beauty, the flora, fauna, foliage, animals and people I met a long the trail. I hiked 2 of 3 legs of the Hollyridge trail and oh if only I had more time I would have completed the Mt. Ada and Bronson caves trails too!

Now for the video, this wine, Guenoc was a delightful find to kick off a short Shabbat and rest my aching self from the hike. I really need to work on my fitness more!

Mally Beauty and JustJudyHB - the musings of an actress

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Tuesday! There is a large part of me that can hardly believe that the month is June.

So the weekend was very busy and productive and though I primarily worked on my tv series, Finding Chupa, I also squeezed in a few beauty blogger videos with some samples that MakeupUniversity recently received from Mally Beauty.

I had the pleasure of working with the multi talented actress, host and model, Judy Deaton. She plays Betty Bonfire in Finding Chupa, recounting the time at camp when she knows she encountered the chupacabra.

You can find out more about Finding Chupa at the Facebook page:
http://facebook.com/findingchupa

Today's video I am demonstrating some samples I received from Mally Beauty - when the PR originally reached out about Mallywood, they didn't have any samples so they sent me a mascara which I did not like and is covered in a previous video, then a highlight palette and concealer instead.

 Follow the acting journey of Judy on her socials  @JustJudyHB





Finally, in sad news, today the wonderful, talented, mother, daughter, icon, fashion trend setter Kate Spade died today of suicide by hanging. This is heartbreaking.

There is always hope, even in the darkest of dark places. Please, if you are hurting - reach out now - don't wait - call now.

Guize Face FX and I the Movie featuring Allergy Actress Mary Beth Eversole

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Oh Monday - you are so awesome! Today's blog post features the Guize Face FX palette in Moonlight that I received as a sample. I took it with me to Burbank for an event with AT&T for SHAPE.

It was such a delight to spend time with Mary Beth and here her story of how trauma entered her life and how she began the healing process. Then, she took it a step further to help others who are living and dealing with pain and trauma in their lives by writing a screenplay about her personal experience. Now she is telling the stories of those who have wrote in with their testimony of how trauma entered their lives and looking for solutions to heal.

Wait - before we get into that - if you are new, welcome, if not, welcome back and if you haven't subscribed yet to Makeup University or subscribed to our newsletter, please do!

This video features Allergy Actress, Mary Beth Eversole who was generous with her time and sat for an interview, and a makeup review while I test the palette, which is amazing and worth $40!

Then, to add to the fun - the camera is being run by NerdSoul - your one stop spot on the internet for all hip hop geek culture and trends.



Mary Beth and I talk about her film, I the movie, which is a journey into healing trauma in self and soul. It's currently in it's fundraising stage, so please click this link and donate - every dollar matters and will get this project produced so the healing can begin for those who see it!
