How to get your face on in 5 minutes

Your Go-To Five-Minute Makeup Routine

How to look fabulous even when you’re pressed for time

Just because you only have five minutes to get ready in the morning doesn’t mean you should run out the door looking like it. (Unless you’re going for the bedhead, just-woke-up look. In that case, heave ho!) This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to get a gorgeous makeup look in under five minutes. See tutorial

Hello gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by today! Before you click through the beauty bubble today for a "how to" on the five minute face, may I share mine with you?
1. All quick makeup is based upon great skin. So the first secret to getting ready fast is taking the time to prepare your skin with a daily cleansing and moisturizing routine.  Always wearing a sunscreen helps the anti-aging fight so make sure it's in your moisturizer and foundation. With that out of the way, first makeup step is to put foundation on all over, whether you prefer minerals, compacts, cremes or liquids but make sure to get it through the center of your face primarily and leave it thinner on the outer edges. ( this makes for less chance of a jawline streak since you are in a hurry to begin with)

2. Stain lips and cheeks! I'm so into Bloom Cosmetics right now with their lip marker in Cinnamon

3. Light toned bronzer all over the face in the places you get a sunburn, and include your eyelids!

4. Put a highlighter on the brow bone: creme or powder just add a light shimmer

5. Thick full swoop of mascara, like the new LashFood conditioning mascara

6. Finish with a Bloom lipbutter, or a Burt's Bees tinted stick, or Neutrogena Lip Sheers in spf 20
Since you stained your lips, now it's about adding moisture.

Enjoy your beautiful self on this glorious day! Now go peek at the beauty bubble and see what they say!

LASHFOOD! Lovely! Long!

Start Prepping for Summer -- Now! These Tips Will Help

Look your best all spring and summer long with these quick hair and makeup tricks

If you’ve been waiting in anticipation for spring (heck, even summer!) to come and free you from your winter-long hibernation, it’s time to celebrate! But even with the cheerful change in weather, your schedule still might not be so pretty. Learn what quick, easy beauty tips you can incorporate to shave time off your routine. See tricks

I am excited to share with you a bit more about LashFood! I highly recommend using some form, any form of eyelash enhancer. Mascara is hard on our lashes! So why not add a simple step to your beauty routine and use an eyelash conditioner?

Better yet, what if you could use a trio of eyelash conditioners?

If you have weak, brittle, short, thin or even great lashes, please consider using the LashFood trio of eyelash conditioners: the conditioner, eyeliner and mascara.

I just tried the new eyeliner and mascara and love 'em! I have used the conditioner before and the results were worth the small extra step in my beauty routine. The eyeliner went on smooth, good pigment, and lasted through out the day without running or flaking. The mascara: I speak on behalf of all mascara lovers - this has a smooth slip, full brush for thickness and length in application and a great build on the lashes.

It came off with my regular facial cleanser and throughout the day, the LashFood mascara wore with out flaking and my eyelashes did not stick together from top to bottom as with other brands.

It's easy to treat and take care of your lashes while feeding them natural ingredients to strengthen them!

If Only Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe Could Have Known…

www.LashFood.com – Retail Value: $129.00

Move over full lips. Eyelashes are the next beauty must-have for 2009. From the pages of magazines to Hollywood’s red carpet, batting full, luxurious lashes is the latest “It” accessory. No matter how many coats of mascara or layers of extensions we apply, it seems like we can never achieve the look without getting the “Tammy Faye Baker” effect. Mascaras and lash extensions are unforgiving on eyelashes, leaving you with dry, brittle, and damaged lashes. LashFood is a new natural conditioning stimulant for thicker, stronger and more beautiful lashes in just 2 to 4 weeks!



“Many women denote their eyes as their best feature,” says Jane Kim, President and Founder of LashFood. “Long, full eyelashes have always symbolized femininity and exudes Hollywood glamour.

At LashFood, we provide consumers with the best eyelash care products to enhance their natural beauty.”


LashFood’s breakthrough natural ingredients, including Biotin an essential vitamin, Arginine a natural amino acid, and herbal extracts, helps promote the natural growth and strength of eyelashes and eyebrows. The result: your lashes become thicker, darker, and longer with this revolutionary conditioner.
How to Use LashFood?

The LashFood applicator is very similar to a liquid eyeliner applicator. One should apply the stimulating serum nightly along the root of the lashes. For faster results, apply the serum in the morning and in the evening. LashFood does not disrupt the daily application of make-up or other skincare routines.

What is in LashFood?

LashFood is formulated with the highest grade all natural ingredients available, and is designed to condition, repair, restore, and create longer healthier and more beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows. LashFood retails for $129.00 and will last up to 5 months.

Can LashFood be Used with Eyelash Extensions?
