Pearly whites : )

With Christmas behind us and New Years approaching, you probably had one too many glasses of red wine.  If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking of new years resolutions (to break) to make you look your best.  One way to look great is to have a clean, white smile.  Here's a very well known tip that really works!   
Take 1 teaspoon of baking soda and put it in a small glass.  Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the baking soda.  Gently brush your teeth.  I wouldn't use an electric toothbrush to do this...because the baking soda is a bit coarser, it's very rough on your gums.  Try this twice a week and see your pearly whites sparkle!

If you can't stand the taste of baking soda, try rubbing a strawberry dipped in baking soda all over your teeth.  The malic acid from the mixture is a natural bleaching agent. 

OCC Lip Tar

Product review: OCC lip tar ($13.00 USD)

This stuff is amazing! I recently put them to the test when I wore them shopping. They look like a gloss however they`re super pigmented and opaque. They last all day and are extremely light weight. These tar`s are great for mixing and can be applied not only on the lips but on the cheeks as blush or the eyes as a cream shadow. The key to this product is that a little goes a long way!

holiday nails

With Christmas just around the corner, not only should your outfit be on point, but your nails should too!
My go to color for Christmas is OPI's DS Reflection.  Flecks of sparkle and that holly berry red make these nails a must for the season! 
To spice it up a little more, try adding one green nail for some extra flare!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!

So now that the holiday's are just around the corner, you're scrambling to buy that perfect gift for your makeup fanatic, whether that be your wife, daughter, girlfriend or just a friend.  One of the products I really love right now is the Too Faced Sweet Dreams Makeup Collection (available at Sephora). 

This beautifully packaged set includes 15 shadows, a full sized primer, 2 blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter.  A full kit for the beauty guru in your life. The best part...it's only $52!
