‘Tis the season…to feel tired! Between work, shopping, class, parties and a whole other host of obligations, the days seem longer and longer and sleep can be at a premium. When that’s the case, there is no need to trudge through the holidays season looking anything less than bright and shiny. All you have to do is add one simple step to your makeup routine: Grab a shimmering eye shadow in a light color and get dusting!
Yes, it’s true. The difference a facial highlighter can make (even a makeshift one) is astronomical. Here’s the scoop:

Use a …read more

Regardless of your age, at one time or another, you will be subjected to the beauty woe that is fine lines. Wrinkles. Crow’s feet. You know what I’m talking about.
But what if I gave you a very simple way to keep fine lines at bay? Because I’m about to do just that…
Use an eye makeup remover! Every day.
There – simple plan, isn’t it? But oh so effective. Because each night as I shower, I find myself literally scrubbing my eyelids to remove all traces of mascara and eyeliner. Then I hop out, look in the mirror, discover I haven’t gotten …read more

All Things Glamorous Collection, $40
I just love the holidays, don’t you? I’m the kind of person who starts playing Christmas music in October (yes, ahem, I’ve already started) and begins planning my holiday look well in advance. I also like snagging gifts early on, too.
Thankfully, this little ditty by Mary Kay seems to fit the bill all around.
This is the All Things Glamorous limited edition set, a new holiday collection by Mary Kay. Included in the set is a Mineral Shimmer Powder in Canary Diamond, a Lip Gloss in Gold Sequins and your choice of Creme Lipstick in either Berry …read more

Cover Girl WetSlicks AmazeMint Lip Gloss, at major retailers
Lip glosses are a dime a dozen, right? So many of them turn your lips into overly-shiny, slippery messes and the color lasts all of twenty minutes. Plus, you’ve spent about $8-$20 on them. Hmph.
Not so with the Cover Girl WetSlicks line. I’ve always been a fan of WetSlicks, but now they’ve gone and added Crest Peppermint Oil to the formula to freshen your grin (and your mid-day dog breath.) This stuff is so fab. Check out the bennies:

It’s a 3-in-1 gloss which gives you a high shine, a boost of breath …read more

Max Factor Eyelash Curler, $4.29
Ready for one of the coolest beauty tips I’ve heard in ages? Thought so.
Pump your lashes up to the next level by warming your eyelash curler with your hair dryer for a few seconds before you use it (just be careful not to touch the hot metal to the skin of your eyelid! Doh!) Heating up your curler instantly turns your simple $4 eyelash curler into a mini curling iron. Genius!
Also remember to curl as close to the base of your lashes as comfortably possible, then curl again in the middle. Bam! Instant notice-me eyes!
And this, …read more

Nothing is more lovely than a complexion that is positively glowing. But since the stress of finals, relationships, and all that other good stuff can take a major toll on your skin, you may have to fake that dewy look more often than not.
How to? Easy! Think backwards.
That’s right. Instead of applying your blush as the last step of your facial makeup routine, try smoothing on a cheek stain first, allowing it to sink into the skin for about a minute or so, then applying a sheer foundation over top. What you’ll get is a natural, rosy color shining through.
