A few of my favorite beauty products...

Over time I think most woman gain

some wisdom on what beauty products work for them

and make life a bit better and help you with your confidence.

I've compiled a list of some of my favorite beauty products

that I can't live without anymore, they're that good!

1. Moroccan Oil - this stuff is simply the best. It smells amazing and makes my hair shine.

2. Style Edit Hair Concealer - This stuff sprays out like a hairspray other than it's a color

that comes spraying out to help conceal that nasty regrowth in between my hair color appointments. This stuff comes in all shades, it's my life saver, I love it.

3. Burt's Bees Blemish Stick - I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to those

unpredictable pimples that appear out of nowhere and need some tender loving care. This blemish stick

helps move the process along a lot quicker.

4. Benefits They're Real Mascara - My aunt gave me this mascara this past Christmas. Her and

my cousins raved about how awesome it was and that I'd never go back to another brand. I was skeptical, but I'm now an avid fan. Extends my lashes longer than ever while thickening them.

5. MAC Paint Pots - I love putting this on my lids before applying eye-shadow. It prevents creasing 

on my lid and my eye-shadow stays on all day. 

6. NARS Roman Holiday Lipstick - I discovered this color last year. It's the perfect pop of color. On lazy days I put on this lipstick with mascara and feel like a million bucks.

A new adventure

My good friend and I are about to embark on a new adventure.

We are partnering up our ideas, our love of make-up and hair and putting our efforts towards a new business. I am so excited to see where this takes us. We have been working on this for some time now and hopefully by month's end our business blog will be ready for all of you lovelies to see.

Here's a sneak peak of one of our models.

Red Lips Va-Va-Voom

Bright red lips make a statement-oh yes they do.

Today I walked out the door and felt classy and sexy with my new red lipstick. I must admit, I did not think I could ever pull off red lipstick. In fact I thought to myself, "I will look like a cheap latina!" Now who wants to look cheap? Not I.

There are a few key elements to wearing red lipstick. It's got to be the right shade of red for you or big surprise....

YOU WILL LOOK CHEAP.

So I made sure it was the right shade for me and I must say I love it. It's the perfect acessory for fall and winter. You can play down your other make-up to a mimimum and even your jewelery. Red lips are character enough that you don't have to fuss with the rest.

If you were a scared red lip wearer like I was just make sure you get the right tips from here and here before you go get sexied up with them red lips!
