Yesterday morning I applied a new mascara and I was so disappointed, flakes came flying about and I couldn’t get it to layer properly. I had to layer on another tried&true brand over it to achieve the effect I wanted without having to remove it. I was basically running late and was meeting my friendContinue reading “The Perfect Mascara with ELLIS FAAS”

The Health & Beauty Rant
Ladies, taking care of your skin and your health are important, and the younger you are when you start the better off you’re going to be. Listen to me when I tell you this, age is not your friend.

Beauty Tip
I have several beauty tips, but this one I find useful more often than not. I had bangs almost two years ago and I loved them, but they were a job in itself to maintain. I finally started growing them out and ladies I am still growing them out. It used to be that keepingContinue reading “Beauty Tip”
Happy Birthday Coco!
So much has been written about Coco Chanel, after all she is the one that set the rules for style. She created the little black dress, refined the art of wearing trousers, boyfriend sweaters and added pearls and red lipstick. She also started the trend of wearing striped t-shirts etc. It’s almost like style, fashionContinue reading “Happy Birthday Coco!”

You need a milky cleanser for dry skin or for when your skin feels dry, a foaming cleanser for combination to oily skin or for thoseContinue reading “Going Back-to-Basics With 3LAB”
How To Marry A Millionaire
How To Marry A Millionaire is my favorite Lauren Bacall movie. Believe it or not, it’s a movie I put into the DVD player or VHS every few years. It’s just hysterical and I don’t believe that if I were standing inline buying food that a man would cover my tab if I found myselfContinue reading “How To Marry A Millionaire”
Inner Beauty
Just because I haven’t been talking about juicing, organic produce and eating gluten-free carbs doesn’t mean I stopped trying to be healthy. On the contrary, I’ve been actively searching for a Beauty Powder to add into my morning smoothies and so far the only one I am interested in is not available in the states.
