So Thanksgiving turkeys aren't the only things getting golden brown this week!

Oh you will love this system! P.S. that is the secret, it's a system!

I know, you and I both have tried nearly every product out there but until I got a tanning system
I only had so-so results!
The best thing about FAKE BAKE is that the color comes out a golden brown! I put a wide stripe on my ever so white belly and it cured with in minutes of applying and showed up a dark golden brown.

If you are going to school reunions, Thanksgiving dinners, holiday parties or just need to get a fresh look to boost your self confidence in this very busy holiday season, I recommend getting the FAKE BAKE tanning system. You will need:

Body Polish-this smooths the skin prio to self tanning and is moisturizing too!

Oil Free Moisturizer-before applying your FAKE BAKE self tanner get superb hydration and smoothing of the skin

Self Tanning Lotion-technolody that delivers a deeper darker long lasting tan. The color guide of the creme makes it easy to know where you have applied and it literally is streak free. I would tell you if I had a stripey belly but I don't!

For easy shopping for yourself, a stocking stuffer or the ultimate office party gift get the self tanning tri-pak for best results! www.fakebake.com

Hello, my name is Cherelynn and I am a fragrance junkie! I love parfums! Perfumes!
Eau De Toilettes and occasionally a cologne.

I always layer my scent with body wash and lotions so that my thick cloud of perfume similiar to the cloud of dirt that accompanies the Peanuts Gang character Pig Pen lasts for as long as possible.

This is a new fragrance just in time for the holidays! Perfume is always a great stocking
stuffer in my opinion! Or hide a bottle on the tree like an ornament!

Now the name is Seductive, so I put my housecoat on so no one would get any funny ideas...

alas, it's a lovely spicey aroma and dries down to a subtle orange scent. I enjoy it and know you will too! Keep your eyes out for the Ulta mailer and Sephora too because come black Friday you know the fragrance sets will be at their best prices.

Note to you: the two best times of the year to buy your parfums is Christmas and Mother's Day because they have lower prices and always come with a gift with purchase such as a pair of bath gel and lotion! Enjoy the Seductive fragrance by Guess and get your own whiff at your local fragrance bar!

Night Elf: limited edition color icon palette by Wet'n'Wild

Fresh, Fun and Funky Halloween Makeup and Costume Ideas

Get inspired by our 2010 costume ideas

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article For each Halloween look, we'll give you the steps for completing your makeup, hairstyle and outfit. See ideas

Hello! It's that time to begin the celebrations! For some of you the halloween party is around the corner, and for others it's time to get ready planning Thanksgiving travel, what to do for the office party this year and family Christmas photos.
Something for you to consider that is affordable and easy access is the new limited edition color icon palette from Wet ' n' Wild cosmetics.

You can find these at any Walmart, Target or drugstore near you and the suggested retail is $4.99

It comes with both a brush and sponge applicator and includes a free black sparkle eyeliner pencil. So it's definately got some bang for the buck!

I'm demonstrating the Night Elf color kit and find

it's versatile enough to do eyeshadows from day to night-which means perfect to go from work to party! There is a color that will work for brows and that gorgeous red is a shadow or a blush.

So this inexpensive wee palette is a great gift or necessity for your purse this season.

I'm testing this before I leave to get the Mancub and try not to show up at his school wearing a full

face of evening styled makeup. So I apply the
white highlight on my brow bone.

Then the medium brown over the lid and use the rich red for a contour.

I line with the black sparkly eyeliner on top and a quarter inch on the bottom corners.

I use the red also as a blush, then finish with the dark grey in my eyebrows. Woo hoo! Time to carpool!
Now I happen to have some of the summer season high impact pigment matte but buttery feeling MegaLast lipsticks from Wet n Wild so I complete my look with that in a rich blue red matte lipstick.

I wore the makeup for the rest of the day and it stayed true in tone and pigment. I did not notice any significant creasing or fading of the shadows so I'm thinking all around this is a great buy and
a good look!

You can find Wet n Wild products at your local Walmart,Target and drugstores. To see more about the brand visit their website at
