Grammys Nominations Concert: wearing a Pure Ice manicure

Happy Saturday Beautiful!

 Did you watch the Grammys Nomination Concert last night? I did. It was pretty good. I liked seeing Taylor Swift perform her set in Australia and then Katy Perry also. Those are concerts that I would like to see though most likely won't. So it was a nice sneak peak.

Here is the pretty Miss Perry doing her song Roar from Toronto Canada but was simulcast to the Grammys Nomination concert.

I like the cleaned up classy look on her more than the wild stuff. It just shows off her talent more.

Hello Gorgeous!
The American Music Awards-or AMA's for short were on and the looks were interesting, but nobody stood out until Katy Perry took the stage in a dress that was vintage in design pattern but neoprene like a wetsuit mixed with pleathery pink bodice and rhinestone studded spandex-or so it looked to me.
I love the dress design minus the big cleavage spot-too distracting.
Her hair and makeup is perfect-and so retro, and so gorgeous!
Now-I've done a makeup tutorial, and though I know how to roll my own hair, I suggest you watch a You Tube tutorial on how to do your own.
Enjoy this short video-and the products used in it are:
Foundation: Murad Skin Perfecting Primer in dewy finish

TEEN WEEK is here! Proactiv kicks it off!

This is a TotalBeauty.com haircut article With the weather heating up, now's the best time to get a shorter 'do. Our mentality here at Total Beauty? Go bold or go home. Take a look at these hot new cuts and get inspired. See cuts

It's TEEN WEEK on the blog and YouTube channel!
Get ready because all week long I am celebrating teens!
This week the blog is focusing on teen:
skin, makeup, hair, style and health!

So I am happy to be jump starting TEEN WEEK with Proactiv! The 3 step system is amazing for clearing up
blemishes and acne fussy skin.
It's working right now for celebrities Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, plus my model in these photos!

Acne can be caused by a hormonal imbalance and that goes for both girls and guys.

That's why around your T.O.M. (time of the month) your skin breaks out more than normal.

In the first picture-Ms. Model has a few breakouts and begins using the 3 Step System by Proactive.
In the second picture, it's only been one day and already the redness is fading and the swelling has gone down considerably.
I was so impressed by the product! Here's a little bit more about Proactive from their website on how Proactiv® works

"The acne cycle starts invisibly, below the skin's surface, weeks before a blemish breaks out. That's why Proactiv is designed to attack acne "proactively"—delivering the right combination of medicines and skin-care agents, in the right order and concentrations, to help control the acne cycle before breakouts occur. If you have acne, Proactiv is the key to a clear complexion."
You can order the products online from their website, they are regularly featured on QVC (http://www.qvc.com/) and I've seen mall kiosks that sell it. So, get started today and feel better about your skin and yourself!

Well, as you know I try everything that comes into the blog.
I also love Katy Perry's eyebrows, so when the market was touted as being able to give my brows a look like hers I said 'sign me up!'!

The pen looks just like a marker, and has a smooth even flow of color. There is virtually no smell to it at all. I am using the medium brown, and followed along the natural hairline of my eyebrows before venturing out into coloring more of the area for a bolder brow.

I like the effect and it lasted a good eight hours. Now in Arizona we are passed the super sweaty days of summer so for winter use, or brides who want a strong brow look that lasts through the ceremony and into the reception I think the TouchBack would make a great beauty asset in your arsenal of cosmetics. NOTE: right now it's only available on the website!
And now, a word from the Touchback website...
TouchBack BrowMarker is New Technology for EyebrowsEasier, more precise application for all brows, plus…
Longer-lasting coverage for brows that are sparse or thin
Covers stray grays
Shades coordinate perfectly with TouchBack colors for the hair
Patented formula
How it WorksUse short, quick upward strokes to fill in sparseness in the direction hair grows. Use the marker to blend away grays, ensuring uniform color. When finished, use an eyebrow brush to blend color for a natural, even finish.
TouchBack BrowMarker delivers the perfect amount of long-lasting color in four shades that coordinate with TouchBack colors for the hair:
Dark Brown (for black/dark brown hair),
Medium Brown (for light/medium brown hair)
Blonde (for ash blonde/golden blonde hair)
Auburn (for light/dark auburn hair)
