CG Smoothes Hydrating Makeup in 705 Ivory

I am not a big fan of most fountains, being pale but not having a pink skin tone makes it hard to find a color that is right for my skin and works well. I usually use Mac SatinFinish in NC15 because I love how it matches my skin perfectly and isn't heavy. I ran out earlier this week though and had to get a quick replacement and ended up with CG Smoothers. I use my Mac Studio Finish Concealer under it and I really love the result. It makes my skin look flawless, it is actually a close second to my mac foundation.

Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing System

In the last few months I have been trying to get my hair back to brown from being bright red for well over a year which has been harder than I had thought it would be. Having hair that is more naturally frizzy than curly it has killed my hair. My birthday was Friday and my friend who works at Aveda gave me an amazing gift, the dry remedy shampoo, conditioner and mask. I am not going to lie when I say this is the best shampoo and conditioner I have ever used, it is great. My hair feels perfect. P.S... It smells great. Thanks Leah!

Every Man Jack Face Lotion

This is going to sound weird but I use a men's facial moisturizer. About six months ago I saw skin care kit at Target and bought it for my boyfriend. He loved the lotion so much I had to try it. I have used it ever since. It is so light and really helps dry skin, it is also scentles so it wont clog pores. This lotion reminds me of Bigelow's Deluxe Facial Moisturizer but it is so much cheaper at $5 a bottle and Target even carries a travel size version for a dollar.

Loving Lately: Heeled Oxfords

I never gotten into oxford heels/granny shoes, I really liked how they look but it never occurred to me to buy a pair. Well, I was doing a fashion shoot the other day and when I saw the heeled Dolce & Gabbana oxfords an other model was wearing I fell in love. After searching high and low I found a couple that I liked at a good price.

Jelly Birkin

I know it is played out and in bad taste but I just bought a Jelly Birkin. I will never be able to afford a real Birkin and I have an obsession with the color peachy pink, plus I think it is sort of funny.

Beauty Note: Carrie Nations' Look

Teenage rock superstars, their lives were that of a dream but that dream turned into a nightmare. Through it all though, they always looked like true vixens.

I love Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, it is one of my favorite movies. I love everything about Beyond the Valley but most of I love it for the look of the Carrie Nations. The big hair and fab makeup, you can't help but root for Kelly, Pet and Casey even when they toke, deceive and cheat. 

Here is what you need to be a doll without the drugs, sex and crazy partying.
