One pump or two of the costly serum? Is a dime-sized amount of moisturizer enough or should we aim for a quarter? Turns out most women use too much (or too little) product on a regular basis. Find out the correct application amounts for all your beauty products with this vlog.
Hello Gorgeous !
The amazing Christmas season is winding down and now it’s time to prepare for a New Year’s Eve celebration to bring in the 2012 year!
This photo of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge is taken of her on Christmas. I love her wearing the berry tone instead of a traditional red.
The former Kate Middleton who is now the Mrs. Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge always steps out in style-so I am looking forward to seeing what she wears for a New Year’s Eve party.
Enjoy this short how to video using the Water for Elephants collection from Avon for Reese Witherspoon’s character Marlena.
Products used:
Avon Ever Lasting foundation
Avon Nocturnal Quad eye shadow
Avon Glimmer Sticks in G07
Avon Smokifier eyeliner in Black
Avon Extra lengthening mascara in Black
Avon Super Shock lipgloss in melon
Cheeks are Borghese Spectra bronzer
*Special note-normally I would pop on some false eyelashes-but I never see Kate wearing any! Not even on her wedding day!
Happy New Year’s 2012 to you! May it be your best year ever!

Hello Gorgeous!
Happy Hanukkah continues and Merry Christmas is almost here!
I’ve got a short how to video to get the look of the lead character Marlena played by Reese Witherspoon.
I think the look lends wonderfully to a candlelight service for Christmas! And stay tuned because there is a New Year’s Eve look coming up shortly using more Avon products.
Products used:
Foundation: Avon Everlasting
Blush: Borghese Spectra
Eyeshadow: Avon Textured Teal quad
Eyeliner: Avon Glimmer Stick in G07 black ice
Eyeliner: Avon Professional Eye Smokifier in very black *whoa-you need to get this!
Mascara: Avon Super Extend mascara in black
Lips: Avon super shock lipgloss in melon *whoa-you really need to get this!
I do like the shadows, but find they are not high pigmented so you may need to layer a few applications to get a deeper tone on the eye.
The 2 stand out favorites of all the products I tried are the Smokifier-wow, that’s a new and good product, and the huge lip gloss called super shock. Get it!
Special thanks to Avon for sharing these beautiful cosmetics with me-and farewell and thank you to Avon CEO Andrea Jung for all the years of service to a cosmetic company that helps build up women based business!

The American Music Awards-or AMA’s for short were on and the looks were interesting, but nobody stood out until Katy Perry took the stage in a dress that was vintage in design pattern but neoprene like a wetsuit mixed with pleathery pink bodice and rhinestone studded spandex-or so it looked to me.
I love the dress design minus the big cleavage spot-too distracting.
Her hair and makeup is perfect-and so retro, and so gorgeous!
Now-I’ve done a makeup tutorial, and though I know how to roll my own hair, I suggest you watch a You Tube tutorial on how to do your own.

Hello Gorgeous!
I’ve got a short tutorial video for you to show you how simple it is to use a makeup finishing spray-like Skindinavia.
A makeup finishing spray is not just for professional makeup artists-in fact; it’s perfect for busy moms, brides and beginners because all of us are so busy that once we get our makeup on in the morning-touching up isn’t always possible.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned for the ‘part 2′ in the series to show the results several hours later as well as a more dramatic makeup look.
I would also like to introduce you to a new mineral makeup line I just tried called Everyday Minerals. You can see the starter kit in the photo along with the Everyday Minerals smudger shadow brush. The tubes are actually a roll on mineral makeup for use anywhere on the face. It’s a perfect time to create a costume party look using the Everyday Minerals makeup and setting them in place for your costume party events at the end of the October month.
Makeup products used in video:
Skin prep: Tara Walker’s Dream moisturizer for day
Foundation: Becca Cosmetics Stick Foundation in Cashew
Eyeshadow: Everyday Minerals-Floating Feathers, Mystic Night roll ons, Bollywood on lid
Eyebrows: Everyday Minerals-Black
Blush: Everyday Minerals Pink Ribbon
Finishing Spray: Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finishing Spray
