Bio Oil


Has anyone out there ever heard of Bio Oil. The oil is supposed to remove scars. I bought this product a few months back to get rid of some scars on my legs but I was not very good with keeping up with applying it morning and night. I think that I am going to start using this product again. If I recall correctly it was not cheap. Let me know if any of you have used this product and how it worked for you.

Lancome Le Crayon Khol review

This review will be short, sweet, and to the point. I HATE this eye liner. I think that this eyeliner looks messy and not even half way through the day gives you that raccoon look. I am sorry if this post upsets anyone who may happen to like this eyeliner but I simply hate it. I was just think about the fact that I have not been able to find this liner lately and I am actually HAPPY about it. I am never happy about losing anything, however, losing this eye liner makes me happy because if I knew where it was I just might be tempted to use it again simply because I personally have a problem with using a product just because it is there and ignoring what it does to me. Do not buy this eye liner!

p.s. I was suprised that I did not like this eye liner because I like most of Lancome's products, just not this liner...and their brushes, (but that is another story.)

Don't all girls like to play dress up?


Weekend before last a good friend of mine had a birthday dinner. I loooovvvee going out to dinner with my friends and I especially love small dinner parties. I enjoy getting all dolled up to go out and just talk and have fun. I just thought that I would share this picture of me that I took before I left for the party. I wore my favorite pair of brown boots and a really cute sweater blouse (that you can not see because I am wearing my white Pea Coat, silly me!). I had on my favorite pair of dark blue jeans and my hair looked really cute. I wish that I would have gotten a close up picture of my eyes because this is the day that I went to Sephora and I used all of my new product this night. Tell me if you like the outfit.

Finally a Kajal eyeliner review!


A while ago I told you all about the Kajal eyeliner by Stila that I got at Sephora. I used it for about two days and then I somehow lost it in Patty's car. lol. Today, a week later, I figured that it was most likely still in her car and that I should go look, and low and behold there it was in between the car seats. I was so happy to be reunited with it. I will start using this liner pencil again tomorrow.

So far I really like this liner and I like how it is easy to smudge right after you apply it so that it does not leave a harsh line, but it it also does not run underneath my eyes through out the day. I got it in Smokey Quartz which is a deep gray and I really like it. I have always used black and this is a little softer and I believe it creates a smokier look. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and since I go to Catholic school we will have a liturgy. Liturgies are fun because everyone gets dressed up and secretly tries to out do the next person. Liturgy days are like a big fashion show, and I have my make-up look for tomorrow's walk down the run-way all planned out. haha.

I will have to use the liner for a few more days before I can do a comparative review but that is definitely coming!

Just wondering...

I washed my hair tonight and I was just thinking about how my hair can really get on my nerves sometimes. I am thankful for my hair. I know that there are so many amazing women out there who suffer from cancer and end up loosing their hair in chemo treatments who wish that they had their hair back. In this world with all of its problems hair is so trivial but I can not help but get so angry over my own. I have extremely thick and curly hair and the one thing that I hate about it is that by the end of the day it is completely frizzed out. I do not like putting a lot of product in my hair because I do not like for it feel heavy. I love my natural curls but I am looking for a way to have my hair lay down flat without ever having to use gel. I am trying a few different things but if anyone knows the trick to handling frizz PLEASE let me know.

Here are the pictures.





Here are the pictures from the last post, my computer keeps messing up so I could not get the pictures and the written post all in one. Sorry.

It's crafts time again!

I did another cute little crafts project today. After washing my brushes I decided to paint the tops of the handles. A lot of free-lance make-up artist do this so that their brushes do not get confused with other people's brushes. I do not do free-lance work but it just seemed like a fun project to do this evening before the OSCARS. I took pictures every step of the way to show how I did this. What you will need for this project is nail polish, your brushes, and scotch tape.
Here are the steps:

1. Tape your brushes about an inch down from the top of the handle.

2. Paint from the top of the tape up to the tip.

3. Let paint dry.

4. Remove the tape.

You can use whatever nail polish you like. Whatever color you use make sure that it is one that you can remember so that you can easily identify yours. Like I said before you do not need a reason to do this other than you want to. I also have friends with brush sets and I do not want for mine to get confused with theirs.
