H&M Fall/ Winter Preview

I have to admit sometimes H&M can be a drag from time to time and some stuff can be rather cheaply made, but lately I've noticed H&M has stepped up some of thier lines, especially the dusty pink label line I have fallen for alot of those pieces. H&M offers great fashions at reasonably and affordable prices that you can't pass up. Maybe its just me but it also seems as if they make less quantity of things of certain pieces. One day its there and the next it's gone lollll! So now I know to get things that catch my eye rite away and if there's second thoughts simply return it!...Here are some pics for F/W 09

How-To: High Waisted skirt from Day to Night

Day to Night by Glamour Buzz featuring Prada shoes

Going from day wear to night can be easy and quick. On the left shoes a basic cropped jacket and flats to go anywhere during the day school, brunch some shopping. Just by changing the shoes, jacket and bag can give your look complete sophistication with a simple high waisted skirt from F21 ($17.80) with details. To add final touches on the night look add bangles to one arm, a chunky ring and some studs.

Review: MAC 224 Brush

The 224 brush from MAC is a great for blending eyeshadows together or alone, it's also great to use for one quick wash of color on the lid. For smaller eyes or smaller lid space it can be a littler harder to use this brush just for applying color straight to the lid, but for blending it is great. The 224 is tapered to form a dome like shape which makes it perfect for blending in circular motions.

Now I'am quiet the beauty enthusiast and my makeup skills are ummmm basic lol Other then that I'am also the one my friends come asking for help or for me to experiment on them and I found this book to be very helpful along with the great pictures that resemble art in makeup form. Bottom Line the book is worth every cent and I love it and find myself lookin back in the pages every so often.

It retails for $32 but being cost savy as I'am....found it for $19.96 at overstock.com and shipping is only $2.95 ...it'll save you a few bucks!

Brush Review: MAC 217

I'm a huge committed fan of good makeup brushes and mac is no exception. When it comes to applying eyeshadow the MAC 217 brush does a great job of applying eyeshadow and blending all in once. You can also apply cream colors with brush. Now brand isn't really everything I occasionally shop around for good makeup brushes from other inexpensive brands like e.l.f and craft store kinds ...(lowell cornell artist brushes) The 217 has fine, densely packed white goat hair fibers which picks up a good amount of color. If you not into spending bucks on a brush you can definitly buy a similar one from e.l.f, lowell cornell , sonia kashuk or can get this mac brush at your local CCO ( company cosmetics store) for $20.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Sally Hansen natural beauty inspired by carmindy spray airbrush foundation

Sally Hansen's spray foundation retails for $13.99 you can find it in your local drugstore for about the same price. It's available in 6 shades: light medium, light medium, medium deep, dark and deep.
Overall....
This foundation is great it's free of parabens, good for all skin types, has olive oil extract, chamomile, and vitamin a ...A WHOLE lot of good stuff for the skin!
The foundation gives a medium coverage, goes on smooth and light feels as if your not wearing makeup at all. It also gives you skin a beautiful healthy glow . For reference I wear MAC NC 42 to NC 44 and it matches great without a tan. If i were to tan definitly get a shade up

Best Way to Apply: You can use a makeup applicator sponge the cheap ones or the more egg shapped pricier sponge. For best effect slightly damp the sponge and spray the foundation on it and apply in a dabbing motion. Then set with translucent powder of your choice.
OR
You can apply with a skunk brush (MAC 187) by spraying the foundation directly on the brush and stipple (dabb with slight pressure) then move the brush in circular motions around the face and set with translucent powder.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
