My go to Mascara
Dior
DiorShow Mascara in waterproof & DiorShow Primer




For those of you who are lucky to be born with a plush set of lashes or prefer a natural look you may not be interested in this review. For my fellow volume seekers I have found the perfect mascara! Now I have to start off with my dissapproval of Chanel discontinuing my favorite mascara of all time Drama Lash in waterproof. I have yet to find anything that meets the same standard drama lash had but DiorShow does hold a candle to it. I love glam and I want my eyes to pop, this mascara and primer makes that happen without fake lashes. I'm not gonna lie to you, no mascara can beat fake lashes or come close enough to advertise that they compare, but this mascara gives volume and oomph. Go green and spend some moola! This mascara duo sold separately is an ouch factor in the finance department, But again soooo worth it. Imagine the cost for daily use of quality fake lashes not to mention the time it takes to put them on ( time is money). And if you went the route of eyelash extensions you would be forking out way more than $50 which is what the pair of DioShow Primer and DiorShow Mascara will run you. 5 kisses for this duo.

EmerginC
-Red Carpet Primer

This is hands down the BEST foundation primer I have ever used. My skin looks flawless when applied under foundation. It has even kept my face from breaking out when using MAC foundation. I am confident in recommending this product to everyone. It is an investment at $44.00 a tube. Another splurge I can vouch for. This gets 5 kisses out of 5. One of my new favs. for 2012.



EmerginC
-multi-vitamin + retinol serum

This stuff is A-M-A-Z-A-B-A-L-L-S!! I purchased this product in Carmel, Ca. (you can purchase online and select spas)and I love it. It's rumored to be a favored product of Jennifer Aniston's. I don't know if that is true but this celebrity right here can tell you this is grade A stuff. My skin seems smooth and glows. It isn't cheap, at $79 it's a splurge but so worth it. This product gets 4.5 kisses out of 5. It would have gotten a 5 if it was cheaper :) $$$
 I'm going to try more of the product line. pics and reviews coming soon!

How to live like a princess when your the help........word to remember is AMBIANCE!
It is all about how you feel and your atmosphere. I know I'm not a kid anymore but when I'm at Disneyland I feel like one. Design your living space to make you feel like you live in a palace. It can be done little by little and alot of it can be done yourself. I will keep adding to this post with before and afters. If you have any of your own ideas please share.

Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin Viva Glam 2012


Nicki Minaj & Ricky Martin for Viva Glam





Maybelline's Baby Lips
 

Viva Glam Nicki
Love this color. It is very matte and can be drying but the color is absolutely fabulous! I suggest applying Maybellines Baby lips before applying Viva Glam Nicki. The color is soft but bold. It's what I imagine Barbie wears. So you know I love it! I recommend to all Mac Limited Edition collectors to swoop up this one. This product gets 4.5 kisses out of 5. I would have given it a 5 but knocked it down due to the dryness.

Yes, they're real- by Benefit Coming Soon!

As promised here is my review on Benefit-They're Real mascara....

As always, I purchased with intent to like. Sadly, I do not like. It is too watery and I am not a fan of the plastic short bristles. I feel like I'm putting my mascara on with a foxtail weed. I prefer the classic brush. I did not get the volume that was promised or the length or curl. It made my lashes glop together and made them look sparse. I should have known when the sales girl said she was wearing it and she looked like she only had four lashes. This is a fail by Benefit, I'm not sure where the hype came from but I suggest you stick to Badgal Lash if choosing a Benefit mascara. This product gets 1 kiss out of 5. If you like the natural look then save yourself the extra $10.00 and go to Target and select a Covergirl mascara.
