Olive oil anyone?

It's no secret that olive oil has been said to be a great for you, inside and out.  Here's a great beauty secret for you using olive oil.  Smear a dab of olive oil under your eyes before bed to get rid of dark circles.  It's better than your eye cream!  Olive oil is an excellent moisturizer and amazing for your hair but try it under your eyes in place of your eye cream for a week and see the difference! 

Extra tip: it's also great to remove your water proof mascara.

Bat those lashes ; )

Looking for the perfect pair of false lashes?  My faves are MAC 21 lash. 
They add just the right amound of length and thickness while still looking fairly natural...as natural as fake lashes can look.  Perfect for brides!

New hair dryer!!!

Ok so my hair dryer recently decided to give up so I was on the market for a new one.  I tend not to buy super expensive hair dryers because I typically don't take the best care of my styling tools.  So my hunt for a good and affordable hair dryer began.  The first attempt was at a Conair hair dryer.  It was not good!  I found that it just didn't push enough heat to thoroughly dry my hair.  I ended up having to pass the flat iron through once I was done.  So I decided to check out Sally's Beauty Supply for a better dryer and ended up finding the perfect one!!  The Ion Travel Hair Dryer.  It only has two speed settings; high and low, and a cool shot trigger.  The only downside to this dryer is that it doesn't have any heat settings and if you have very fine fragile hair, it might be too hot for you.  I have very curly hair and found the heat to be perfect!! It's also very affordable. I paid about $50.
I would definitely recommend this dryer, it works!!!  *doing my happy dance*

Don't forget to scrub!

Beauty tip: Are you exfoliating? Exfoliating at least once a week is the key to flawless skin and a flawless makeup application. Simply put a dime sized amount of product in your hands, rub together and rub your face. Remember, there's no need to put too much pressure when exfoliating, just let the product do the work for you. I recommend St. Ives apricot scrub for a low end option or Lancome Exfoliance Clarte for a higher end option.
