    Kim Kardashian Beauty Tips and Secrets

    Posted in: Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Make up Tips

    I was reading an online magazine and came across a few of Kim Kardashian’s favorite beauty secrets and thought I’d share. Had some good tips in it. Enjoy!

    1. You’re known for having lashes so long and thick, they practically create a breeze when you blink! Are they real?
    Yes my lashes are real! It runs in my family, my brother has the longest lashes. But I’m also a big fan of wearing fake lashes for shoots and big events. The key to making your own lashes look super long is to apply different mascaras and take your time. My favorites are Lancome Hypnose andMAC Zoom Lash.

    2. Do you have any fun getting ready beauty rituals?
    I love getting ready, it’s so much fun! I always style my hair first then pin it back while I do my makeup. Before I apply my foundation I sprinkle Bare Escentuals shimmer powder on my face to get a pretty glow.

    3. What beauty tip changed your life?
    Using make up wipes to take off my makeup. Best invention ever!

    4. What’s your all time favorite hair and makeup look?
    I love when my hair is slicked back in a bun and my make up shows off the lashes. Pure glamour!

    5. What products are in your shower right now?
    I use Finesse shampoo and Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash, which has burnt brown sugar and karite butter—it smells so good you’ll want to eat it. ”

    6. What are your top 5 favorite beauty products?
    1. MAC Zoom Lash Mascara
    2. Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash
    3. Givenchy Lady Pulp Lip Gloss in Lady Beige
    4. Benefit Lemon Aid (an eyelid primer)
    5. Givenchy Luminous Cheek Powder in Pink/Orange

    Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation- BEST Ever!

    Posted in: BEST Of..., Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Girly things I love!, Make up Tips, Skin Care

    Girls, meet your new best friend… Estee Lauder! Out with MAC foundation, and in with grandma’s favorite Estee Lauder’s Double Wear fountation. I know, I know, you’re skeptical but it’s true! Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is wayyyy, wayyyy, WAY better than MAC’s foundation. My friend Lindsay told me about this secret switch and after trying it out, I really love it 239,231,454 times better! It wears so much better than MAC, with little to no touch ups needed the entire day. I don’t know about you, but with MAC I had to touch up through out the day and by 4pm always looked like my face was melting off. Not a good look. Anyway, it is about $32 bucks and I got mine at Nordstrom. You can get it at any Estee Lauder counter, or online here.

    I get TAWNY color if that helps anyone :)

    • Worry-free, long-wearing makeup that stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity, nonstop activity.
    • Won’t change color, smudge or come off on clothes.

    • It does not make me look orange like MAC’s foundations do, and covers even better.
