How to Apply Loose Eyeshadow...

When applying loose eyeshadow (bare minerals eyeshadow to name) the type of brush you use can make a difference of how the eyeshadow appears on the eyelid. Regardless of what brush you use ALWAYS use a eyelid primer, a primer minimalizes creases, helps the longevity, and and you get the true color of the eyeshadow. Along with the primer use a firmer brush. A firmer brush compacts the loose eyeshadow and ensures smooth application on the eyelid.

Salvage that Expensive Lipstick!!!

There has been plenty of times where my lipstick has reached the point where I can no longer twist it to use it and clearly there is enough left to be used in the tube. And for $20 I am definitely going to try to get ALL the use of that lipstick as possible!!! So here is what you can do.

1. Buy a lip container from either Wal-Mart, Target and I believe even Ulta. These little containers are like $1 to $5 depending on how many are in a package.

2. Get a butter knife from the kitchen and scrap the the lipstick that is left in the lipstick tube.

3. You can add your favorite moisturizing lip balm to it as well to prolong that lipstick as well if you like.

That's it, its pretty simple and super expensive, and you also get a longer wear out of your favorite lipstick as well.

Much Love,

#Curlconfession

So Paul Mitchell decided to dedicate a whole line to curly girls and has invited us curly girls to a #curlconfession. Basically if your on Twitter (I am @BriRose26) or on instagram (BriRose26) hashtag #curlconfessions so that you can have the possibility of winning some free samples. Or you can go to www.truthaboutcurls.com and follow the directions there as well. I've already done hashtag #curlconfession on Twitter and I am about to do the same on instagram and go to their website as well. I did not see a deadline, but that could be due to lack of reading everything, so the sooner the better essentially!!!

Much Love,
