How To Tuesday: The Perfect Lip

Valentine's Day is this week, and nothing says sexy like lip stick. It draws the eyes to your lips...and when the eyes are drawn to your lips...well..




Step 1: Line the lip

Lining your lip will help to keep the color longer, but more importantly it will help keep your lipstick from bleeding. No one likes a bleeding lip.

Step 2: Lipstick

Use a lipstick brush. It will help with precision.

Step 3: Blot

Always blot.

Step 4: Lipstick again.

Second layer

That's it. Easy right?

I'd go with red for v-day.

Throwback Thursday

On Instagram they have this tag called Throwback Thursday. It's where you post old photos of yourself, a throwback if you will to your younger days.

I thought it would be fun to do something like that on here every once in a while, but to kick us off...I posting old pictures of celebrities. Because let's be honest. That's really fun.

Kate and Pippa Middleton

Do I even need to say? Just look at those lips. It's Angelina Jolie

Before the Upper East Side got ahold of her: Leighton Meester

Brooke Shields

Way before the adorable pixie: Michelle Williams

Before she started writing songs...Taylor Swift

I couldn't possible leave the Mickey Mouse Club out. Just look at Ryan Gosling there.

Did You Know You Could: Dye Your Eyelashes

I know right? Dye your eyelashes? Why do you really need that. Well, let me tell you why!

Because, hi...it's like wearing mascara all of the time. At the beach. In your bed. At the gym. So obviously you can't really go wrong.

It's a super simple process too. The dye is applied with your eyes closed. You sit for ten minutes, and then you're done. But if you have watery eyes like I do, be careful. The dye can drip down your face. Just tell your esthetician beforehand!

And it's usually a quick, cheap add on service that your salon can throw in while your already there.

Conclusion: dying your eyelashes is cool.
