Bare Minerals Manicure

I'm a makeup junkie and experimented a bit today with my plethora of Bare Minerals eyeshadow! If you want a dazzling manicure the next time you sit down to fandangle your filanges, try this:

Step One - paint your nails with two coats of your favorite polish

Step Two - while the paint is still sticky, dip your eye brush into your BareMinerals eyeshadow or any other loose shadow that his shimmer and compliments your nail color. For example, I painted my nails with a goldy beige color from Ulta called "Goddess" and used a glittery gold eyeshadow from BareMinerals called "Captivate". Brush the powder over your nails.

Step Three - coat with your clear top coat, and you now have a sparkling manicure that has a bit more pizzaz than your usual!

CeraVe Cream...Good Stuff!

My family has extremely sensitive skin! So sensitive, that I recently had to take my oldest daughter to the dermatologist for help with her dry skin. Everything I put on it either burned or left her with greasy dry skin (if that's actually possible). He told me to run to my local drugstore (I went to Walgreens) and buy CeraVe cream. Don't get me wrong, it costs more than the cheap lotion I usually buy at Walmart, but it has done wonders for not only my daughter, but for myself, as well. I am a product junkie and will try anything, so naturally I've been giving this product a whirl. After a bath or shower, we put the cream on and it absorbs almost instantly and will create a natural barrier on your skin after repeated use. Never before has my skin been so soft, and my daughter's skin feels like it did when she was a baby. Try it! Especially if you have problem skin and need something that is AWESOME!

Minty-Freshness for Your Scalp

Even though my daughter says my "hair smells like gum," I'm loving the minty fresh smell and tingly sensation of my new Biolage Mint Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner. I bought my set at my mothership, Ulta.
