EYEBROWS

You have seen what difference a great frame can make to a painting. It is the eyebrows that form a frame for your eyes. Beautifully groomed eyebrows make a huge difference. It is possible to transform a face with just tweezers, shadow, a brow brush, and brow gel. A professional will help you find your ideal shape. Once the brows have been groomed, it is easy to do your own upkeep.

Here i put some pictures (find on Google.com) how to shape your eyebrows.

 

 

And here you can find the best shape of brows for your face shape.

 

And when it comes to makeup…

Fist define brows using shadow or pencil in the color of your eyebrows and hair. When you applying the shadow begin at the inner corner of the brow, and follow its natural shape using light, feathery strokes. Next just set unruly brows in place with a brow shaper. Fill in sparse areas or holes in the brow with an eye pencil. For the most natural look, layer powder shadow on top. Soften too-harsh brow color by pressing loose powder onto the brows with a powder puff.

 

And more tips…

To make eyebrow plucking less painful, place a warm flannel on your brows to open up the hair follicles and make it easier to pull out any stray hairs. When you have finished, hold ice cubes on your brows to close the pores and soothe them.

To get the perfect arch, spray a little hairspray onto your fingers and quickly apply to your eyebrows. Brush them into shape using a dry toothbrush and leave to set. You can also do this by drawing a rough guideline on your brow using an eyebrow pencil for the shape and then pluck the unwanted hairs away from your penciled lines.

Always pluck from underneath and never above. And never pluck in the opposite direction to which the hair grows. Not only will it feel more painful but if you pluck in the direction of growth, it will grow back flat.

 

STENCILS

For helping you with shaping your eyebrows, its a best solution to buy stencils, or make your own (printable stencils.)

Printable stencils: You can print these and cut out the shape with an exactor knife. Of course these stencils are for single use, but they’re great for trying a new look without having to invest in a set just to find out you don’t absolutely love it. For get them-click here !

1. I love my Coach purse.

It is kind-of like this one – the Coach Zoe, but mine has a braided black leather handle… It really is wonderful as I can stick all I need in it and it looks incredibly nice with my suits and work stilettos – while easy to dress down for going out with PBF or with my ladies!!

2. I love my Coca-Cola!

I am a huge fan of soda, regardless of the fact that it is incredibly bad for me and my heart, but I really monitor my sugar input daily just so I can enjoy this wonderful delicious syrup full of bad awful things!!! I think it all traces back to being in boarding school and the fact that in the basement of one of the dorms, they still had a glass-bottle Coca-Cola dispenser!!

3. I love my Pearls!

[picture from: Finksjewelers.com]
I was the only girl throughout my boarding school years that didn't have pearls... I was the only one in my class (of the preppier girls at least) during graduation who it seemed like was without. I had my Tiffany and Co. Elsa Peretti jewelry but not my pearls - which I felt looked so much better with our white dresses we had to wear for Lantern Ceremony anyway. I had grown up with a gorgeous pearl bracelet - but I had outgrown it and never asked for a replacement. And I wanted a set – but because of the unanticipated expense of my education (asking to get out of my hellish public school and be in boarding school like my brother - an unplanned expense for me), I never EVER asked for a set, so I wore my mother's own set that she entrusted to me. Well, when I graduated, on graduation day, right before the ceremony, she handed me a box from Finks. Inside, was my own set of 7.5 mm pearls! She and my Aunt had handpicked each pearl to be strung on my necklace – made with love from my Mom with my Aunt's blessing! (my Aunt used to work at a Finks store).
Here is a picture of my sister and me after the ceremony – she wore a gold silk shift in honor of my "team" (purple versus gold) at school. Fabulous!:




4. I love my hometown – Lex Vegas.
It is so beautiful and I loved the area I grew up in. I couldn't have done without a lot of the people there but I really had a wonderful, blessed childhood with all of the comforts a parent would love to provide. We had a big farm and I had lots of fun parties at the Country Club or at home. Most of my family lived nearby and my Mom was really strong when it came to the significance of God being in our lives. Here are some favorite images of home:

The Farm where I grew up:


View from my parents' new house (which they built in 2000):

5. I love my Golden Retriever, Lovely Lady of Lexington.
She is too cute for words!!




6. I love... The Greenbrier!
The Greenbrier is a bittersweet place to mention as it recently filed for Chapter 11. I have spent a week there every other year for the past SEVERAL years. I cannot remember how many times [This isn't including the day trips that we did when I was small for Easter, etc, when we opted out of going to The Homestead]. Here are some pictures from those amazing trips...
My cousin goofing off in the pink (because of Thanksgiving/Christmas – AND GREEN!!) ballroom:


My cousin and I always share a room. This was our Deluxe corner suite we had on a holiday visit. I LOVE TULIPS!!! (many apologies for the un-made bed):


Some of the family gathered for tea in one of the library rooms off of the Main Lobby level...:


Yes, those of you who have been to the Greenbrier know this is one of the "ladies lounges" – I LOVE this room:

It screams sultry boudoir to me – the vintage Vogue covers, the royal purple velveteen chairs with black tassels, the brushed pink wallpaper and the crystal chandeliers. LOVE IT TO PIECES. I would often grab a flute of champagne and "hang out" in here just to get away from the crowds during post-dinner music receptions, etc.

I'm going to miss this place for a lot of reasons - not be be rude - but I can only imagine how messed up the place will be if it gets bought out by some big hotel conglomerate chain company, which means less pay for the deserving workers in the unions at The Greenbrier, and lower-quality goods, etc.


7. I love lingerie! Now, to those who don't know me well, that seems weird. Lingerie? Why not just fashion? Well, I used to sell lingerie on my year off from school (thank you Nordstrom), and then kept with it when I went back to school – Belk, far less glamorous clientele, but still fun! So I have TONS OF LINGERIE. I hope I can go back to working in lingerie again soon.

And what boudoir would be complete without a crystal chandelier (thank you Greenbrier!):

MAJOR NEWS! Big Update

HELLO LADIES!

I was incredibly excited when Jennifer told me I was to review a beauty product! I recieved from Jennifer this handful of deluxe samples of Kate Somerville Deep Tissue Repair with Peptide K8. Let me just say, I loved the product. It normally comes in a pump dispenser which I think may help with distributing the product evenly. I applied it in the AM and PM after washing my face. I made sure to use a small amount, about a teaspoon, total. I used only the tips of my fingers to apply it all over my face. Within days I noticed that it helps with my wintertime combination skin - keeping the area around my eyes tight and soft, and the T-zone moisturized. I felt my skin texture change from before being kinda flaky to after being VERY springy. A coworker noticed my face had a hydrated glow to it - and thought I had gotten a facial! I know I am young, but that doesn't mean my face never shows stress - and this product helped alleviate that problem! Fabulous up and down!!!

AUGH

So, while working on Christmas Cards... I have come to a conclusion. I need a new Address Book. The one I have I got while shopping at Harrod's in 6th grade. Yes, it is that old. BUT, I have held onto it because it is Kate Spade, and is Kelly Green, and is Ostrich skin. However, the inserts no longer exist. Does anyone know where I can find UBER-cute three-ring (about 8"-10" tall) inserts? Target failed miserably for me and it was my biggest hope. Anyone have any input?

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway!! I will have it open until the end of this week!

Lastly, Muffy asked me what I was coveting today... here are my mad-dash results....


1. Patagonia Stretch Velocity Hoodie:

I would love this for morning walks-runs. And for jogging to and from my car at Gold's Gym!

2. Elizabeth Arden Good Morning skin Serum:

After my spa day at Red Door, they gave me a makeup consultation - which included placing this amazing serum on my face. L-O-V-E it!


3. Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss:

They put this on my lips and it was SOOO flattering. I normally go for more plum-toned things, but this was really flattering! I was surprised!!
