Hello my friends and loves! Here I am all dolled up to go out on a video game host audition. Think G4 produced and done locally-more on that later. For now, it is one of the most asked questions I get "how to apply false eyelashes?"!

So below is a video and in the pictures you can see two versions: 1) just what it looks like with me wearing the brand Robert Reese in the "dangerous" design.

Then 2) a look underneath the lash to see what the pattern of the lashes is.

You can get your Robert Reese lashes at Sephora or by visiting www.robertreese.com Now I must say, it comes with a wee tube of glue that is absolutely lovely!

I mean there is no sting or pull to this stuff and by the time I am writing this the Robert Reese false eyelashes in Dangerous have been on my lids for over four hours!

Seems I can pop these false lashes on in a moment but require several minutes of very gentle removal. I always use a q-tip soaked in eyemakeup remover and I gently rub along the glue line where it is adhered to my eyelid. I also rub along the bottom side of the lashes to soften the bond between the mascara coat I used to tighten the bond to my lashes with the falsies. So on in a flash and off in several steps. I love the look so much that it's worth the extra effort!

Enjoy this short and simple how to video to teach yourself how to apply false eyelashes at home like a pro!

An American in Paris or is it Paris in my American skincare?

Hello gorgeous and thank you for visiting today. May I share with you a bit about the La Roche Posay new line of cleansers called Physiological cleansers?
I'm a fan of their products and they are very french, from France and just visit their website to see the scope and level of dedication they have to skin care.

Why I tease with the title "An American in Paris" versus Paris in my bathroom while I do my skin routine is because there is something different in our skincare when it comes to Europe and the United States.
Many French skincare lines have cleansers that do not require rinsing due to the lack of available water at the time the buildings were made. Hence this is why you see so often the pitcher and basin bowl for washing up in still life artwork.

I just received a sample from LaRoche-Posay called Micellar Solution. It's for extra gentle cleansing without water.  It's a 3-1 cleanser, toner and makeup remover. 

Micelles defined is a process of the cleaning solution micro-encapsulating dirt on the skin surface and lifting it up without rubbing. It's a no need to rinse off, but wipe-off formula. 

It can be used daily to cleanse the skin, tone it, and leavea calm, fresh and pure feeling.
It retails for $18. 

Great. Now that you have the details, may I share my experience? I was having Christian Dior and Chanel skin care flash backs: but I tried it and did like it. Yes, my facial makeup and eyeshadows were removed and yes, my skin felt clean, good squeaky clean but not tight and dry.

Yet, it did not remove my Cover Girl Lash Blast Luxe mascara. After some rubbing and the loss of a lash, I switched back to my normal eye makeup remover from Arbonne International and then gave my face one more quick swipe of a cotton pad loaded with the Micellar solution.

Final answer: does it work? Yes. Worth it? Yes. Especially if you travel, fly, boat, camp, or need a quick change of face makeup between work and going out.  Just know that mascara may need to be left to your specific eye makeup remover or use a non-tar laden brand.

Why Stress is Beauty's Worst Enemy

See the effects stress has on your hair, skin and nails then learn how to prevent it

Is the stress monster starting to rear its ugly head? Well, you'd better make it stop (for your looks' sake). See how -- quick. See tips

Today is so rainy and wonderful and perfect for relaxing fireside and watching the Olympics!
As I have continued to watch and enjoy my favorites: I have started to watch a wee bit of the Ice Dancing when I first noticed Tanith Belbin.

In this photo she is with her skating partner Ben Ogosto. She is from Kingston, Ontario and raised in Kirkland, Quebec. She lived and trained in Canton, Michigan for years, before moving to Aston, Pennsylvania to train at Ice Works.

I think what stands out most about her is her amazing smile.





I was looking along the internet for some information about what she uses for products and came across talkingmakeup.com blog and it had an interview with Tanith sharing that her favorite beauty products are Cover Girl Lash Blast Length mascara and the Outlast lip stain.

Now I'm a L'Oreal Voluminous girl myself though I have been wanting to try the Outlast lip stain for some time now due to my preference in using them on makeup clients and for my own busy lifestyle.

Good luck to you Miss Tanith Belbin, 2010 Winter Olympic Team USA Ice Dancer!
