Soft in 60 Seconds

So everyone has been yelling at me to do new posts and I am so sorry! :S I have been super busy last week I had to go to a funeral and was all over the place and hardly had any access to a computer. I also have been working lots this week since well duh it is Christmas on Friday! :D This post will be short and sweet. But I promise that on Wednesday I will have a makeup tutorial :)

Living in Vegas and especially since it is winter. My hands are so dryer than the desert! :p But thankfully my sister recommended this amazing treatment, from one of my favorite stores! :) Crabtree and Evelyn :) My sister works there actually :) But anyways onto blogging.

Feel your hands as they are right now, just to keep a mental record of how different they will feel ;)

Everything you need is inside this tiny box. (Right) First of course take off your rings and bracelets so you don't any lotion on them. I always forgot to take mine off and always had a bunch of lotion stuck inside where the rinestone is! -.- hahaha

Now first use the La Source skin therapy hand recovery scrub. Squeeze about a dime sized amount into the palm of your hand and rub all over your hands. Do not

add water yet. Make sure you rub it in really good and even rub it into your cuticles to soften them up. Pay attention to rough edges or cracked skin to soften them up. Do this for about 10 seconds. Then add water and continue to rub it in for about 5 seconds. Next rinse your hands really well and get all of the scrub off your hands. After you rinsed it all off you want to pat your hands dry with a towel. Make sure they are completely dry before you move onto the next step. And finally you want to use the Las Source Hand Therapy lotion (Pictured left above). Take a dime sized amount and rub it into your hands. A little goes a long way, trust me ;) And Viola! You are finished! :D Piece of cake huh? ;D Notice how soft your hands feel dramatically softer! :) I would suggest doing this at least once a week. However I do this almost daily since my hands get dry frequently. But the choice is up to you.

You can purchase this quick fix at Crabtree & Evelyn for $24 :)

Emerald City

So sorry guys it has taken me so long to write this :S I have been so busy with my new job. And I have been so tired because of my screwy hours :S haha So well here it is! as promised ;)
How to create this green eyeshadow look:


First of all, start off with a clean face. Foundation, concealer, eyebrows filled in, and powder. With powder you want to pour the loose powder into the cap and use a kabuki brush. (Pictured at the left) Move the brush in circular motion to catch all the powder into the brush. Then start with your forehead and move all around your face in circular motion. I use the lightest of the light liquid foundation, but I go a little darker with my powder so I don't look so ghostly white. It adds a little color to my face, but also doesn't make me look like I have a fake tan. It just looks natural ;)

All you need are three colors:

So first what you want to do is take a darkish green color. (First picture) And using your fingers apply it on your lids not passing your crease. You be the judge of how dark and dramatic you want it. I choose to use my fingers rather than my eyeshadow brushes because you can get more control using your fingers. Make sure you apply it evenly on both eyes. Next what you want to do is take a lighter green color. (Second picture) and apply it slightly above your crease, do not pass the brow bone though. Make sure you blend blend blend. You want to make the colors have no beginning and no end. They should look like one color fading out. If you want it to be more blended you can always use a blending brush to fade the colors to your liking. The last color is pearl shimmery white for the inner corners of your eyes and the brow bone. This is to highlight and brighten your eyes and make them appear larger. The next step is to line your eyes. Take a good eyeliner and line your water line. And I blink a couple times so my upper lash line will catch the eyeliner. Then I put another coat on my lash line and repeat the process. With this particular look I never really put eyeliner on my eyelids over my eyeshadow because I feel that it makes it too dramatic. And with this look you want to keep the eyeshadow the dramatic part. Plus it makes my eyes look smaller.

The finished product:
