DARE TO WEAR:</div>
<br />
<div align="CENTER">
BRIGHT, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL</div>
<br />
Bight and bold colors are a fun and creative way to dress up any look. My favorite palette containing bright bold colors is the COASTAL SCENTS CREATIVE ME #1 Palette. This palette has been out for some time now, however, it remains a must have in any make up collection.<br />
<br />
This palette contains all of your primary colors, which are amazingly pigmented, and have a great consistancy. <br />
<br />
The packaging is wonderful (!) containing a mirror which covers the whole top portion of the palette! I use this mirror all of the time, even when not using the colors in the palette, for mascera, eyebrows, and blending colors.<br />
<br />
The actual pans are magnitized which hold the pots (these things DONT BUDGE), making this palette great to travel with. You may even refill the pans with other coastal scents hot pots as well.<br />
<br />
This palette is made up of COASTAL SCENTS signature 'HOT POTS," (all matte shades) and contains 12 of their collections colors:<br />
<br />
CM02<br />
<br />
CM12<br />
<br />
CM06<br />
<br />
CM07<br />
<br />
CM05<br />
<br />
CM04<br />
<br />
CM03<br />
<br />
CM08<br />
<br />
CM09<br />
<br />
CM10<br />
<br />
CM11<br />
<br />
CM01<br />
<br />
I am absolutely impressed with this palette. Originally I had seen it around youtube with various tutorials and wanted to check it out for myself. <br />
<br />
I ordred this palette from amazon.com, but you may also find it on COASTAL SCENTS website<br />

Re-Accessorizing???</div>
<br />
TIP: A great way to transform those old hoops you've got laying around is to add some beads and seperators to them! This changes the look completely, you can match them with any outfit, and be styling where ever you go!<br />
<br />
These earrings are Basketball Wives inspired:<br />

<br />
My problem is that I DO NOT have a skin care routine. I am just as guilty for going to bed with my make up on as you are....<br />
<br />
With that being said, I am going to try and start a new skin care routine and see how it goes.<br />
<br />
Posted later on when I (figure out what works for me) will be my regimen. <br />
<br />
Stay tuned!Mandz Makeuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11091925084646171657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005033883749833332.post-86586934875560825562012-01-18T14:33:00.001-05:002012-01-18T14:33:24.805-05:00HAIR CARE ROUTINE<span lang=""><strong>Hair Care</strong><br />
<br />
<strong><u>My hair care treatments:</u></strong><br />
<br />
My hair is extremely dry, especially in the winter months, due to this fact, I am not able to wash my hair everyday. In between washings I use Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo to my roots to help eliminate any natural oils from showing in my hair.<br />
<br />
When I do wash my hair I ALWAYS use a hair treatment conditioner first. Believe it or not I always get my treatments from the Dollar Tree! They are cheap and effective. The name of the one I am currently using Healthy Hair Nourishing Essentials Revitalizing Hair Mask.<br />
<br />
First, I wet my hair and put the treatment on, letting it set for 3-5 minutes<br />
<br />
Next I rinse my hair and shampoo. I always use an anti dandruff shampoo to wash my hair as my scalp is so dry. I don't have a set shampoo product that I consistently use, it is usually something I found on sale, clearance, or the Dollar Tree.<br />
<br />
The anti dandruff shampoo I am using now is Garnier Fructis Pyrithione Zinc Anti Dandruff Shampoo<br />
<br />
Clearance $2 @ Kmart<br />
<br />
When washing I really make sure I work the shampoo deep into my scalp and roots to not only cleanse but to treat the dandruff, then I rinse it out.<br />
<br />
Lastly, for conditioning I use any brand heat protecting conditioner, or any dry treatment conditioner, leave in for 1-2 minutes and rinse. Right now I am using Dove Heat Defense Therapy.<br />
<br />
After towel drying my hair I always use a wide toothed comb to brush out any tangles in my hair. It is best to do this because when your hair is wet it can stretch, and brushing it may pull the hairs enough to break them at the ends, or pull them out. <br />
<br />
After combing, I then spray a heat protectant, or leave in conditioner, concentrated on my ends, and then all over my head. The heat protectant I am using now is Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray.<br />
<br />
I like to let my hair 90% air dry, and 10% blow dry. The first day after washing I usually flat iron my hair.<br />
<br />
Other treatments I use frequently are hot oil treatments. These treatments are great to help restore hairs health and not to mention it gives you a great healthy shine!<br />
<br />
These hair treatments can also be found at the dollar tree!<br />
<br />

AVON HAUL!As you already know I am a proud rep for AVON products!<br />
<br />
I have been a rep only since December 22nd and I have only been around for one campaign so far, and have not ordered that much myself. <br />
<br />
Many people do not know that you have a few expenses being a business person for Avon. As a rep you must buy all of your campaign books and any other Avon related books that you may fancy, your Avon bags, order forms, samples, etc, etc, etc. Things are not just given to you for your business, you have to put money into it as well.<br />
<br />
That being said, my first campaign was mostly about me getting situated, and obtaining all my supplies, bags, samples, etc, and I have not bought any of their makeup products to try yet! SHOCKING I KNOW.<br />
<br />
However, I did purchase some jewelry that I cannot wait to share, as its so beautiful! <br />
<br />
So stay tuned for a haul and review on the Avon products I have bought!!! <br />

I believe its all in the brushes, the brushes make the techniques, that place the color, that make the look. <br />
<br />
I have purchased, ELF brushes (which i find for the most part to be GREAT), ECO Tools (also a great pick), ULTA brand brushes (brush hair fell out all over), Target brand brushes (love the blending crease brush, I believe its UP & UP brand), FASH brushes (HATE EM! Love their 120 palette though) and Sonia Kashuk brushes (AMAZING).<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Sonia Kashuk brushes are sold exclusively at TARGET Stores and SoniaKashuk.com </u></strong><br />

The Sonia Kashuk brushes seem to be the most professional "drug store" makeup brushes on the market. I had always been curious as to try them but never wanted to shell out the $8-$15 per brush, that was until I came across the brush sets. <br />
<br />
These brush sets will run you anywhere from $12.99-$19.99 and it is not a "you get what you pay for" situation. Each set comes with no less then three brushes, usually a large brush like a blush or face brush, a blending brush, and a few eyeshadow brushes.<br />
<br />
These brushes are so soft, the hairs NEVER fell out, and all brushes density depend on exactly what they are meant to do. I absolutely love these brushes.<br />
<br />
Even after cleanings the bristles remained soft and smooth and never dried out, something that concerned me when I was cleaning them.<br />
<br />
I give these brushes an A+<br />

I have even been hired at a new job, I needed to add some more work appropriate clothing in my wardrobe so I went on a spree for the perfect outfits!<br />
<br />
Here is what I found:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UmERnUL1Iww/TxIgfTo6S9I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/99VbJNykj00/s1600/BLACK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UmERnUL1Iww/TxIgfTo6S9I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/99VbJNykj00/s320/BLACK.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<br />
Its hard to tell, however, the sleeves on this black shirt are ruched and poofy, this shirt is also a turtle neck. I think this will go great with a white vest over top.<br />
<br />
$12.99 @ RAINBOW<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><strong><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TUTORIAL TIME!</span></strong></u></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div align="CENTER">
<strong><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barbie Pinks</span></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 1-FILLING IN BROWS: I always start off by priming my eyebrows, using a spool to brush the hairs in place, then fill in the bottom with a pencil. Next, I fill in the top portion with a dark shade powder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 2-PRIME EYELIDS: For this look I used Ruby Kisses Magic Eyeshadow primer, found at my local beauty supply store</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 3-NYX JUMBO EYE PENCIL IN MILK(WHITE BASE): Place all over lids, pack in to lids for an opaque color, this helps the color to stick and be more vibrant</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 4-LIGHT PINK ON INNER LID: Instead of brushing color on, pack with a fluffy brush</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 5-MEDIUM PINK IN MIDDLE LID:Pack on middle of lid, and blend into the lighter pink, you may need to bush the colors together for blending purposes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 6-DARK PINK ON OUTER CORNERS:Place darker pink on the outer cornors patting color on and brushing into medium pink to blend</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 7-BLEND OUT HARSH LINES: Using a blending crease brush I used a flesh toned color to blend out any harsh lines from the pinks on the lids. We do not want a crease color, just color on our lids. Take the flesh tone to just a little bit under the brow bone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 8-HIGHLIGH BROW BONE: Taking a shimmery color, as we just used all mattes on our lid, highlight the brow bone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 9-LIQUID LINER (THIN LINE!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 10-LASH LINE COLOR (PURPLE): Taking a medium shade of purple line your lower lash line for a pop of color</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 11-WHITE LINER ON WATER LINE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Step 12-MASCERA: I used falsies mascera by maybelline</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Designer Clothing</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div align="CENTER">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a BUDGET</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little something I would like to share with you:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something that I vividly remember all throughout my school days was the huge emphasis on brand names, the logos, and style. As a kid I was brought up to wear Kmart clothes and shoes, never seeing a name brand in my closet until my junior year of high school! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My style did not evolve until damn near 21 when I started putting outfits together, accessorizing, and getting into makeup, this is when i started to become brand conscious. EVERYTHING i owned at this time had a logo, and an expensive price tag! I thought it was the only way to have anything stylish because someone else designed it for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> While short on cash, I started selling my old designer clothing and started shopping online, off the clearance racks, and even looking at places which I would have never considered in my designer days: Kmart, Sears, Kohl’s, JCPenney, all of which have great plain clothing that you can dress up or down with accessories, shoes, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Great alternatives to brand name shopping:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plato's Closet: Of course you knew I was going to bring up Plato’s. Plato’s closet is a resale shop where you can buy used clothing or sell your gently used clothing. Plato’s seems to only accept clothing from the affordable mall stores: Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, and Forever 21 etc. This is a great place to look however, sometimes I feel as though the price I am paying for used clothing is more then I would pay for new threads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shopping out of season/Off the clearance racks: If you have the money to do this i would advise doing so. Styles don’t change THAT much within the year and with that being said, coats, sweaters, tank tops, and tees are all going to be in style no matter what. Shopping out of season means you will have it for the next year, at a clearance price.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Designing your own clothing: You know how much that pair of distressed jeans cost at Hollister? You can do that yourself. Buy some used jeans, or some off the clearance rack take a razor, some bleach, a cheese grater, whatever, and go to town. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">EBay: EBay is a great alternative to buying brand new full retail priced designer clothing. Juicy Couture, BEBE, Guess, and all other brands are being bid on and sold on EBay every day. Just search for the brand you’re looking for and I can almost guarantee you can find what you’re looking for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Online Prices/Clearance: Online prices vary from the actual store price, I suggest signing up for different stores emails which sometimes offer 50% off select items and even sometimes free shipping. Items online also differ from what is being sold in the store so you may find merchandise you like better on the website. The clearances deals seem to be better to will extra percentages off or buy one get ones. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5.99fashion.com: This site is literally what it says; everything is $5.99 or less! It sells jewelry, hosiery, hand bags, dresses, tops, and pants. Everything is from close out clearance of different brands and is all brand new clothing. Shipping is standard on all items I believe its $6.99, but everything else is way beyond worth the price. I guarantee everyone can find SOMETHING they like on this site.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed this article and will try some of my suggestions! </span><br />
