The DUPE: L'Oreal vs Charlotte Tilbury | Pillow talk

Hi ya Gorgeous! 
Happy middle of September. Wow. That happened fast? How did that happen so fast? You know what else is happening fast? The fourth quarter retail season is upon us and that means holiday celebrations. My local big box stores already have the halloween stuff out mixed with Thanksgiving decorations. 
 
This means a time to switch up your makeup and wardrobe. Oh to have boot weather! I was looking for a Fall nude lip to wear and came across the most perfect dupe in my opinion for my favorite yet costly lipstick, Pillow talk from Charlotte Tilbury.
 
 
Think - family photos, Thanksgiving, the quick slide into Christmas and then New Years eve. If you love Charlotte Tilbury's lipstick trio, Pillow Talk, like I do - then you know the cost. I love the look of all three products together, liner then lipstick and top off with gloss.
 

 
 
I was looking for a Fall season nude tone lipstick and came across this L'Oreal #171 or Les Nus by Colour Riche Lipstick, Bold & Intense Nudes, Rich Saturated Color with Pure Caring Oils, Nu Confident (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3kclmL6 )  It's easier on the budget at $5.24 plus tax.
 

 
One more reason to get a new lipstick, in any shade you love, is because it can boost your mood and lift your spirits. 
 
If life has you down, get a new lipstick! It's an easily affordable treat to help you, help yourself! Thank you for watching - and please subscribe and share! Muah! 
 
 *note* Amazon links are affiliates and I get a penny when you use it - thanks!

Throwback Thursday- Besame Cosmetics First Impression

Hi ya Gorgeous! 
 
It's Thursday and today I have a "throwback" video for you. Though before I get in to that, I want to share that I find it hard to believe that it's coming up on a year of the beginning of the end of the world as we, or I, know it. 
 
 
This time, last year, life was a form of normal with school for my family and work for me. Trips were planned and in person convention emcee work was booked and then, everything changed. Hence the Patrick photo. Many days, I feel like I look like the expression on his face! 

After a year at home my body looks like Patrick as well. I know that some chose to seriously double down on fitness. Not me. I seriously doubled down on boxed wine, binge watching shows and lamenting fireside from the couch. Ce` la vie. So goes life. Now, let's talk Besame Cosmetics and the very beautiful Mary Poppins shade of red!
 
This was actually made a few weeks ago as I had just finished interviewing Gabriela at the flagship store for Besame Cosmetics in Burbank. Oh how I love this color and the history behind it! 
 
I also really like the wear and feel of the lipstick. You can get your Besame Cosmetics online via Amazon with your Prime account! https://amzn.to/30a31Dw

Owner and makeup historian, Gabriela Hernandez has a license with Disney to recreate the colors and looks of loved characters in Disney movies such as Mary Poppins. 

The collection includes a lipstick shade that matches actress Julie Andrews lip color in the film as she played Mary Poppins. A matching compact in the Mary Poppins collection with a beautiful silhouette of the skyline from the movie is overlaid on the mirror. There is a lipstick and nail polish set in honor of Mrs. Banks in a light peach shimmer tone. This short interview is from a visit I paid to the Burbank store and a quick visit with Ms Gabriela herself! 

 


 

The store is adhering to all covid safety protocols and practicing social distancing and high levels of sanitation. Masks are worn and ours were removed for taping only. It's a fun and beautiful destination to shop in this Burbank store. 

There is a lovely coffee shop across the street and on the corner is a luncheonette with vegan options that you can dine safely outdoors at. Parking is on the street and one of the best things about Burbank, is that parking is free! 

City wide, you can park on any streets and not have to pay a meter. Besame Cosmetics is located at: 3505 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505

3 new lip products to take you from the Oscars red carpet to the prom or spring break vacation


Hi ya Gorgeous!
Sunday. This day is many things.
1. The Walking Dead is on tonight and I can hardly wait to find out what happens.
2. I'm en route to Vegas for my flight to Atlanta. Have I ever mentioned I'm not exactly fond of flying?
3. The Oscars are on tonight.

So with all of that said, let's talk about how March is packed with so many events and activities and stuff!

 Like prom, spring break, Easter and a whole lot more.

So for all my Beauties getting ready to take a trip or attend a big event, if you want to have a fresh lip look while respecting the budget, then consider these 3 different types of lippies from essence cosmetics!

A lip gloss, a highly pigmented liquid lipstick and of course, a good ol' fashion hydrating lipstick.

You can find essence cosmetics at Target and these are in the $5 range. Not too shabby for a fresh look for your vacation, prom, Easter brunch or just a need to scratch your makeup itch!

Mineral Fusion: lovely!

Most Tatted Cities in the U.S.

Find out which zip codes house peeps with the most ink


Most Tatted Cities in the U.S.

This is a TotalBeauty.com body article

We did the nerdy research to see which cities have the most tattoo parlors, expos, etc.

See cities

Hello hello! It's me! I'm back from a long week of traveling! I was so blessed and surprised to get back and find boxes of goodies to sample and write about; including this box of Mineral Fusion: minerals on a mission makeup! I tried everything on and have been playing with different looks but settled on a basic day look and took a photo.

So this photo is everything I used:

On clean skin, serum, moisturizer and eye creme note: no primer! I applied the mineral pressed powder foundation. I used a kabuki brush for the application all over my face and then a small shadow brush for the nooks and crannies of the face. I did two light coats and got good coverage and a balancing of my complexion.
Next, I ined my eyes with the Azure deep blue eyeliner pencil.

I used the Diversity eye shadow trio which does not have a high pigment load so for you ladies who are new to makeup, don't like intense color or are trying a new shade this is a perfect product for you.

I highlighted the brow bone with the pink shimmer, applied the nude tone along the tear duct area of my eye and then brushed a thick line of the deep plum shade along the lashes over the Azure blue liner and finished with a wee smudge on the edge of my eye for lift. If it looks subtle, it is.


I finished my lips with the Gleam lipgloss. It comes with a doe foot applicator and has a smooth moisturizing feel on the mouth; it's a bit tacky yet also has high shine.

There is a beautiful cool toned red called Flashy in the makeup that came and I didn't apply it for the photo because I was going from here to do errands and felt the bold red lips too much for Target.

Yeah, in this photo I have closed my eye but I don't think it's making much of a difference in how the shadows are wearing.

I did try the lipstick later and it's so buttery-very similiar to a Lorac lipstick.

Now to get some: visit Whole Foods (in Arizona that means Tempe, Chandler and Paradise Valley), or visit their website to find a location near you: www.mineralfusion.com

Stay tuned this week, I have new videos and giveaways for you! Stay gorgeous!

If you want to get some and try it and tell me how it performs in your area, comment how you love it! You can find stores on the main website www.lumesh.com

This is perfect for on the go moms, business women, students and brides to busy celebrating the wedding to keep touching up the lips!

Bloom Mineral Plus Lip Butters! Amazing!

See which plumpers gave readers full, kissable lips (and which ones did absolutely nothing)
Lip Plumpers: The Good and The Bad
Jealous of Angelina Jolie's lips? Our loyal readers share the lip plumpers that gave them just the right amount of plumping, shine and color, as well as the ones that gave them red, swollen, bee-stung lips. Ouch.



You know for quite some time now I have been a stain lover and have held true to my most favorite brand and rosy color.  Though recently a sample of Bloom Cosmetics made it's way to me in the form of the Cinnamon lip stain pen and a nude and pink shaded Minerals plus Lip Butter.
Let me be one of many to say, the easy of use and control of pigment in the marker like lip stain is awesome! The pigment load is rich, there is no scent or smell, and the wear of the color is a solid four hours with out losing tone/color! I love it! I think I am most impressed by the accuracy of the application.  So that's the first love of Bloom quickly followed by the rich pots of sheer color butter balms for lips! Each mini pot has a wee mirror on the inside of the lid. You can use your finger or a brush to apply and what I like best is that it feels silky smooth on my lips and the moisturizing effect lasted for hours.
But don't take my word for it! Find out more for yourself by visiting the website, and now is the perfect time to stock up on some so you have them on hand for gift giving, your desk, gym bag, purse and console of your car. The lip stain can we worn alone, with lipstick or lip gloss. The Minerals plus lip butter can be worn alone or over stain, liner, lipstick; you name it! 

I think the stain/lip butter combo is perfect for a day at the beach, a cruise or a destination wedding. Plus, this is a perfect pairing for Prom lips!


Here's a little detail from the website...now enjoy the beauty bubble and then click over to Bloom!
Bloom Cosmetics Mineral Plus Lip Butter

Style# MLB
Part# BB141

We have fused glamour and goodness with these gorgeous Mineral Plus Lip Butters, combining the deep moisturising benefits of a balm with the sheer natural colour of a subtle mineral tint. Each shade comes in a stylish compact pot with a handy built in mirror for easy application and is named after one of our favourite heart stirring songs. Price: $22.00

Happy Valentines Day! I love you!

What's appropriate (and not!) when it comes to grooming, makeup and more
We Solve Your Biggest Beauty Etiquette Dilemmas
Never know when to tip the bathroom attendant or tell a friend she's making a huge fashion faux pas? Here you'll find the answers to the etiquette questions that have long confounded you.

Wee! Was I first to tell you that you are so loved today? If not, it's nice to be in the company of your loved ones that did remind you of how totally awesomely loved you are!
Now, I am guessing that by now you have a pulse on what you are wearing for your Valentines look though below is some info on lead, lipstick and your health. So read, and proceed with caution!
***
Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth'

Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.  Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR

LANCÔME

CLINIQUE

Y.S.L

ESTEE LAUDER

SHISEIDO

RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
The higher the lead content the greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick  contained the most amount of lead..

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1.. Put some lipstick on your hand.

2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.

3... If the lipstick color changes to black,

Then you know the lipstick contains lead.
###
Did you notice that the big three warhorses of the cosmetic industry are included? Now is a good time to experiment with brands like:
Arbonne, Bloom, Larenim, Burt's Bees makes lipsticks/glosses and try browsing Whole Foods and Sprouts. There are more choices than you may know about. Enjoy!

How to apply red lipstick for Valentine's day soirees

See how to rock their straight styles with these how-tos
Best Celebrity Hairstyles for Straight Hair
Are you tired of your straight hair just hangin' there? All you need are some tips and celebrity inspiration to bring your flat hair to life.

Ladies: with the upcoming celebration of love day racing toward us, you may be considering wearing red lipstick.
WAIT! There are a few things we need to talk about first: such as:
What type of lip products you are going to need?
1.Stain
2.Liner
3.Lipstick
4. Gloss

Also, will you be dining, drinking, kissing and so forth?  I ask this because you need the right products and technique to get the effect you dream of and want to have a lasting impression.  I say this to help you avoid the red feathering lipstick crawling quickly towards your nostril effect of highly pigmented lip products, such as red.

If we were together and I was doing your lips for this big night: I would recommend this routine for a lasting lip look:
1. When you brush your teeth, brush your lips so they are exfoliated and the dry spots and flakes are gently rubbed off
2. Stain your lips! My fave is Benefit Cosmetics Benetint, though Sephora's house brand, Urban Decay, Tarte, Lorac, Vincent Longo even Cover Girl make a lipstain! Use it!  Let it dry, apply another coat, and let it dry completely before moving on.
3. Line your lips: I would use a nude shade (Such as Chanel's Nude liner or N.Y.C. nude) and blend it into the stain with a dry lip brush
4. I would apply a full layer or your red lipstick. My all time favorite is the Satine lip color from the movie Moulin Rouge made by Lorac called Explore. Blot your mouth on a tissue and reapply again.  Your mouth should feel dry to the touch, and be tinted red. If you want more color, apply again and blot again.
5. Finish with your favorite gloss. Here's the fun part: choose the tone/shade/finish you want. Put clear over it, or a red tone, or pink even brown to tailor the shade of red to your outfit and level of drama you want to convey.

If all of this is too much work for your lips: use a red gloss. The H.I.P. line from L'Oreal has a good deep red with lots of color, or a sheer red from Neutrogena lip sheers works too.  Enjoy it ladies!

Say no to Octomom lips! Dr. Jason Michaels explains

Hello! Now, I'm curious and a fan of all things skincare, makeup and the procedures that help produce results. Enjoy this wee bit of info from our friend Dr. Jason Michaels of Aspire Med Center in Las Vegas NV. Now, that may not be your zip code or mine, but it's always worth the trip! Enjoy!

a letter from dr. michaels

Sadly, when most people think of cosmetic enhancements for fuller lips, they immediately have a visual that they’ll end up looking like Octomom!

But because Aspire is exclusively skin and you’re treated by the only board-certified dermatologist focusing solely on cosmetic procedures, lips are never distracting or unnatural.

I customize the treatment to make narrow lips slightly broader. I can give fuller shape to flat lips. And our goal is to make the treatment look beautiful but not extreme. It is subtle artistry.

Here’s an example of very natural lips: 
After!


FROM FEBRUARY 1 – MARCH 30, you can enjoy a $50 manufacturer’s rebate* on every syringe of Restylane, the product I use for lip treatments. While this promotion can be used on any area, like eyes, eyebrow lift and more, we thought you might want to use it right away to have kissable lips for Valentine’s Day.

I think sexy means beauty in moderation.

Regards,

Jason Michaels, MD

P.S. - Please give yourself a week after treatment before a big event in case there’s some slight bruising, which is common with filler treatments. So if you’re shooting for a Valentine’s date night, please schedule the first week in February.


* Rebate good for up to six syringes, or $300 in savings.

Eyes Lips Face...for a dollar! Holla!

Holla back girlfriends! If you haven't discovered this amazing beauty bargain gem...then let me introduce you!


Visit http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ or E.L.F. for short and start shopping, get some free shipping, enjoy the beauty tips that are included and be prepared to find great quality makeup tools for the most affordable price!


I got some brushes ( I find that most women have alot of makeup, but not alot of tools!) and was curious about the quality for the price, and to my delight and surprise, they are great.


The foundation brush is soft to the touch yet firm in the handle and runs well over the face. I also have a couple of the eyeshadow brushes and they are comparable to the other major lines of brushes that I have in my professional roll.


Even though the media is still saying we are not in a recession, and gas has come down four cents, if your budget needs to stretch a wee bit further to get your Fall Beauty Trend look for 2008, I recommend E.L.F. as a place to shop for great deals and product.

Enjoy!

Bridal Makeup DIY Style: How To Take Control of Your Wedding Day Beauty for brides who would rather spend the money on cake!

Kimiko Beauty helps a destination bride stay kiss & photo ready!

Beauty alert for "elopers" and destination weddings...a lip stain is one of the ways that I create a wedding day mouth that will last through kissing, toasts, cakes and more kissing!

A new brand for you to try is Kimiko sheer lip tint and plumper duo. I tried the Pomegranate color, which is the red color. The lip plumper end has an even consistency and it's not a stinging or "tingling" sensation like other lip plumpers. The stain has a sweet taste to it and the consistency of honey meaning it won't run out of your lip line before you have a chance to blend it. It's very smooth on the mouth and hugs your lips nicely. It will be a pleasant experience for your groom!

It's a subtle stain that leaves a natural looking mouth, then apply the plumper over it for a fuller mouth that is wedding day ready and casual enough for beachside or cruise ship vows.

For more beauty choices from Kimiko, visit their website at http://www.kimikobeauty.com/ and there is free standard shipping on all orders over $95.00.

Here's some news about the lip stain from them directly:

"Sheer Tint and Lip Plumper
Dehydrated collagen molecules re-hydrate to instantly plump and smooth lips
Berry and pomegranate extracts give color and antioxidant protection
Hydrates lips and helps increase elasticity, smoothness and production of collagenChannel your inner vixen with this natural and effective lip enhancer! This unique tinted treatment creates sheer, buildable color with berry and pomegranate extracts that have added antioxidant protection. Hydra-FirmaLift™helps reduce lip lines and increase overall hydration. The reverse end holds an advanced Plumper containing patented dehydrated collagen molecules that expand with the lip's natural moisture to instantly increase lip volume, reduce fine lines and give lips a fuller, smoother look. This non-irritating Plumper has a cool refreshing feel."

I love a new product and this one held up under Arizona heat and monsoon humidity, a taco plate and a toddler. Give Kimiko a try!
