Secret Saturday!

Here is my secret for super smooth , soft, hydrated skin!
I highly recommend this for brides as it will have your skin in top shape come wedding day!
You can use this on your face and all over your body as it is the cheapest and best way to exfoliate.

In a small bowl use 1 tsp baking soda and add approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use light circular motions. If you have extra dry skin allow to sit for up to 10 min. Use a mild cleanser to rinse off.

For the brides: I recommend starting this the moment he pops the question! Don't start if your getting married next week as you don't want to do ANYTHING new that close to your day!


Now I have major combination skin. It can range from normal/dry - normal/oily- dry/oily!
And this works every time for me!

Photoshoot

Hey long time no write!
I've been busy and also enjoying this unusual awesome spring weather we've been having here in the 'burgh!
I wanted to share real quick a few pictures from an amazing shoot I did a couple weeks back. I did the makeup and body painting. The body painting was a shared task between me and the hairstylist. We used a liquid latex and boy was it fun! The whole look was a LOT of work but I truly had so much fun! It really was like I was back painting on canvas again.
The model was a trooper! From nearly fainting with the heat and fumes of the paint to practically getting frost bite on large parts of her body (from the 300 lb. block of ice), she was amazing!
Let me know what you think!

Foodie Friday!

Food and fashion! What a glorious combination! That's what I thought when I heard that Karl Lagerfeld would have a salad named after him! Now if your lucky enough to head to Paris or St. Tropez where the original salad was born then you have a chance of actually tasting the real thing! However I've come to the realization that it will be a few years before the thought of heading to France will appear on my radar.
Next best option? To try to create my own version of what this salad might be like. With only a few ingredients that were shared in various publications this is what I came up with.

Green leaf lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Drizzle with olive oil, champagne vinegar, salt & pepper
Top with lump crab meat and croutons
Finish off a squeeze of lemon.

I fell in love with my version, now I wonder how it stacks up to the original? Probably the fact that I'm eating it in Pittsburgh and not Paris or the south of France already knocks some points off mine. But till then I will just close my eyes and dream!

I would love to hear if any of you try it and how it turned out!

Frugal Friday!

Who says great makeup has always be expensive? When you can save $7 on this product or $15 on that, it really adds up! Here are some of my favorite products that tend to compete with my professional products for a "place on the face"!!!

This concealer really holds it's own against expensive top brands.
L'Oreal Visible Lift spf 20.
An spf for the eye area? SOLD!





Revlon Colorstay lipliner in Nude
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze in Continuous Pink #525.
I'm loving these lips at the moment! I can wear with my "bare"
face or glam with my smokey eye!

Have a great weekend!
