CITY FOLKS


Get ready for the drama to ensue as MTV’s reality show the City returns Tuesday night at 10:30.   I recently worked with some of the ladies for this season’s promos.  I nearly died from cardiac arrest swooning over the fashions that were wheeled in for the shoot!!!  Ladies, if any of those Louboutins need a babysitter, they can come stay with me anytime!!!

 

 

Check out the lovely ladies working it!!!

FIELD TRIP


Today I had the chance to go on a grown up field trip!!!! I made my way over to OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS, and sampled all of their goodies.  It’s such a fun cosmetics line with vivid, bold colors that other lines wouldn’t dare produce.  The color names are a riot!! I can’t wait until someone asks me what shade I’m wearing on my lips and I can blurt out HOOCHIE!! You think I’ll get punched in the face? Here are a few shots that I took from my excursion!!

WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY


I recently reconnected with a client of mine who is a fantastic dancer!!  I worked with Sue and her husband on a commercial, that featured the couple showing off their dancing skills.  One thing I can say about this couple is that they can really move!! The other day, Sue posted a beauty question on my facebook page about a product that she doesn’t want moving!!!

 

Question: How can I stop my lipstick from running?

 

Answer: Matte lipstick formulas aren’t as likely to run as quickly as those lipsticks that contain a a lot of emollient. Grabbing a matte lipstick is your first option!!  However,  If your absolute favorite lip color isn’t matte, there are a couple of options that you can try:  Pick up a lipstick primer.  Lipstick primers were developed to make your lipstick behave!!  They’ll grab a hold of your lipstick and won’t let go!!  Another option is using a plain old Chapstick– apply it to your lips making sure to go outside of your lip line a smidge. The waxy substance will fill in any fine lines that your lipstick might settle into.

Quick tip: Wearing lip pencil as lipstick is also an option.  Fill in your entire lip with the pencil, dab a tiny bit of gloss to the center of your lip.  Talk about staying power!!!

 

Here’s a lipstick primer from Too Faced,

If you have any beauty questions of your own feel free to drop me a line, and I’ll have answers for you every Wednesday!!!
