Victorian Shoe

Wow, what a beauty! I found this on La
Dolce Diva's blog. Since I absolutely love
Victorian things, this shoe really appeals
to me. Isn't it gorgeous?!

Foundation Brush

I've always heard that applying foundation with a brush was the best way, but I never had occasion to try it. Well, that's changed, I splurged on a brush so I could try this technique. All I can say is Wow, What an improvement! My application, as well as the finished look is way better. I'm glad I tried this. If you haven't tried this yet, do. You won't be disappointed!

(Note: This probably sounds wierd, but I love using my concealer brush to apply my "touch pad" liquid blush. It's less messy for someone like me (who's a big time cluts, btw). I just tap the brush on to the "touch pad" to pick up some color. Then, I gently pat it on my cheeks & blend, blend, blend! Looks nice.)

Carnivale de Couture - Pants Silhouettes

Yup, I'm jumpin' on the "Carnivale
de Couture" bandwagon. The
question I'm throwing out to you,
the fashion bloggers is what's your
favorite pants silhouette? Bootcut,
skinny legged, gaucho, capri, etc?

I'm too chunky & short to get away
with the skinny silhouette myself. I
generally favor bootcut or strait leg.
The "stuffed sausage" look isn't very
appealing. Lol!

So, what's your pantaloon delight?
Tell me!

period. Does it really work?

L'Oreal's Volume Shocking Mascara

I just recently purchased L'Oreal's Volume Shocking
Mascara & I must say I'm impressed! I've tried several
volume mascaras, but none of 'em worked quite so well
as this does. I have very sparse lashes, but this makes
my lashes look full! I give this 5 stars.

Are you a beauty junkie?

Take this quiz at handbag.com

The following was my results:

"The 'no make-up, make-up' devotee
You're a little on the conservative side, but
the boys probably think you are naturally
gorgeous thanks to your subtle improvements
on nature. Perhaps introduce a few pastels into
your soft brown with everything ensemble."
