So for the past week I have been wanting to paint my nails, but I had no clue as to what color I wanted! I went to the professional Beauty Supply store with all intentions on finally purchasing an Essie nail polish!!! Then as usual I started to walk around and ran into this <b>OPI</b> value pack. ( since I purchased this at a professional store the value pack was no more than $7 total ... I am not sure if it is sold at non professional stores) Now when I saw the color I was like ooook this is totally not what I came into the store for ..... However when I saw what the free gift was I had to purchase it!!! OPI has a product called <b>Drip Dry</b> this has to be one of my favorite finds this year!!! No Really I am so serious! I do have Solar falsies on my nails, but I get tired of never having an actual color on my nails and I am one to get bored easy .... so it was time to change it up! <br />
<br />
<i><b>How it works: </b></i><br />
1st - Apply your Base Coat<br />
2nd - Two Coats of you Nail Polish of choice ( the product states that it works with all brands of Nail Polish this is definitely a plus )<br />
3rd - Take 2-3 drops of the Drip Dry and well drip them over each nail<br />
4th - Give it 5 minutes and you will be dry ( This Really Works I was so AMAZED ) <br />
<br />
Side note: If you are from Louisiana you probably would agree with my coworker who said the nail polish color reminded her of K&B! lol It really does though!<br />

<b>Description on Website:</b><br />
<br />
<b>COVERGIRL</b> <b><i>Queen Collection</i> Lipcolor</b> provides as much rich, true color as the leading department store lipstick. Our silk moisturizing formula helps maintain moisture levels so lips feel smooth and look gorgeous. The more you wear it, the more gorgeous your lips become! <br />
<br />
<b>My Story:</b> <br />
<br />
I have been wanting to try the new formula and colors since I heard Queen was coming out with 24 new shades!I can say I was glad I did!!! I purchased 7 out of the 24 from WalMart (prices vary depending on location) I definitely do recommend to get the product from there because it's cheaper than buying it from a drugstore. Now if your at a drugstore and see them on sale Buy 1 get 1 %50 of if you are wanting to buy more than one than you can go that route. When I did the math in my own research on where to purchase from you are basically paying the same amount. lol <br />
<br />

I do like this product. The texture is nice and has a light feeling to it. The only drawback I found was the more intense darker shades stained my lips and by me having lighter lips I wasn't trying to walk around with purple stained lips just for the fun of it ... lol <br />
<br />
<i>(L-R)</i><br />
<b>The Shades I purchased: </b><br />
<br />
<i>South Beach Sand</i> - pink with gold flecks <br />
<i>Spicy Seduction</i> - looks like 14 karat gold<br />
<i>Cool Khaki </i>- more of a nude pearl like color <br />
<i>Nude Attitude</i> - brownish brick color with a little shimmer <br />
<i>Girly Pink</i> - reminds me of SBS but with purple in it and kind of iridescent <br />
<i>Berry Bling </i>- a medium shade of Bright Purple with little sliver flecks(stains lips)<br />
<i>Powderpuff Pink</i> - a medium shade Bright Pink (more on the matte side (stains lips) <br />
<br />

<b>My Story:</b><br />
<br />
I was in Target and had to stop by the Beauty area! It wouldn't be right if I didn't Right??? lol I saw this quad and was like hmmmm let me try it. It retailed for $9.99. It has 4 basic eyebrow colors allowing you to use alone or mix together to create your custom shade. However, it's not a powder like I thought its more of a gel texture. I am in the process of growing my eyebrows back from the damage I did when I was younger from over waxing and tweezing. So for me the product didn't allow me to fill in my brows fully I still have to use a pencil or a powder if not both. I am still gonna try and play with it because I rather only have to use 1 product and not 3 .... that takes way to much time for a girl on the go like me! lol<br />

If you want your lipstick to last make sure to <u><i>Exfoliate</i> Them</u>! Yes your can buy a lip scrub made with sugar and all that or you can just brush your lips with your Toothbrush while you brush your teeth! This will allow your lip products to last<i> Longer</i> and <i>Look Smoother</i> and who wouldn't want that! <br />
<br />
<b>SN: Get your man to do it also minus the lipstick, but some good ol <i>Chapstick</i> isn't bad! Keep them Kissable Ladies and Gents! lol </b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Shaveworks - The Cool Fix</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2oz - $11 or 5.3oz - $25</b></div><br />
At last, a solution to bumps, ingrown, and other shaving and waxing side effects. Bonus: it soothes as it works.<br />
<br />
<i><b>My Story:</b></i><br />
I can say it had a refreshing feel to the product. I haven't seen any ingrowns or any other reactions. I believe that this is a product that you have to definitely try more than once and see if it works for you. However, when it comes to me I definitely have sensitive skin and are will get an ingrown like it's nothing. So I am big on exfoliating my skin ( face and body). <br />

<i><b>My Story:</b></i><br />
I have used this in the past and when I did I loved it well I loved the texture that is .... The only thing is that I get really oily in my forehead and nose area and this product for me didn't help enough our how I would have liked it to in those areas.By the middle of the day I was shiny and having to use blotting sheets and apply more setting powder. I am just one who doesn't want to keep having to apply powder throughout the day.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>NARS - Sheer Matte Foundation</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>1oz - $42</b></i></div><br />
<b>My Story:</b> <br />
<br />
So far I do like this foundation. However I don't really see a difference in longevity between the NARS Sheer Matte Foundation in Stromboli and MAC Studio Fix foundation. What I can say is that I feel like the NARS foundation matched my color perfectly for the right now and I like the Matte finish for the summertime! This was a definitely a plus for me. I rather use a translucent setting powder instead of a colored one any day!I am just trying to figure out if I really want to spend $42 on bottle of foundation! lol That is just crazy to me, but since it does match this would allow me to actually x out a product that I am currently using ... therefore maybe coming out to maybe be the same price! lol<br />

Bridal Beauty!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rhzk_Uy3ktA/TlM0Oeu2HoI/AAAAAAAAAdw/S2FkYLKzaj4/s1600/247955_616811488476_80500967_33210049_5759263_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rhzk_Uy3ktA/TlM0Oeu2HoI/AAAAAAAAAdw/S2FkYLKzaj4/s320/247955_616811488476_80500967_33210049_5759263_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When choosing a Makeup Artist for your Wedding her are a few questions you may want to ask ...</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>What products do you use?</b></i></span><br />
- This can be a very important questions to ask especially if you or anyone in your Bridal Party is allergic to specifics that may be found in certain makeup products.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Can I have a Makeup Trial and is it Included in the Price?</b></i></span><br />
- Most Bridal cost do include a trial run ... but normally this is just for the Bride. If someone in your Bridal Party would like this service also mention it to your Makeup Artist.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Will you be able do my Bridal Party at the same time?</b></i></span><br />
- Depending on the size and time limit of the Bridal Party will determine if the artist may have to bring another Makeup Artist with her. <br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Do you provide powder,lipstick and blush so I can retouch during the night?</b></i></span><br />
- This is a good question to ask, but for a fee you may be able to have your makeup artist at whatever location you like for touch ups. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>How long will it take? </b></i></span><br />
- Normally a makeup application can take at the least 30 min but the time depends on the artist.<br />
- If time is an issue make sure to inform your Makeup Artist when the contract is being signed. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Should I be getting dressed before or after the makeup session?</b></i></span><br />
- I think it is best to get your makeup done before you put on your dress you don't want to chance anything getting on your gorgeous dress!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Do you charge traveling costs?</b></i></span><br />
- Some Artist to charge for traveling cost over a certain millage. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>What products should I use to remove the makeup at the end of the day?</b></i></span><br />
- Majority of the time you can use a regular makeup remover, but if your makeup artist is using a special makeup then it may require a special remover.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Do I need to pay a deposit to secure my booking?</b></i></span><br />
- Majority of the time you would need to pay a deposit to secure your date and if not the Makeup Artist may book someone on the same date who is ready to pay their deposit.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>What will it cost?</b></i></span><br />
- Well this is a no brainier unless the person is your Best Friend you will more than likely have to pay for your Makeup Artist services.<br />
<br />
- All I am saying is .... If you aren't going low budget on your dress don't go low budget on your makeup! Even then sometimes you can get away with a non expensive dress and pay the money to be Glammed by the Face and it can make your whole look even more Glamorous! <br />

</b></i><br />
<i><b>Descrption on Website:</b></i><br />
<br />
Protein Rx Reparative Treatment Mask is ideal for brittle, broken hair that has been weakened from coloring, relaxing, or heat styling. An exclusive soy and milk protein complex restores and reinforces hair preventing future breakage, leaving hair stronger and more manageable.<br />
<br />
<i><b>My Story:</b></i><br />
<br />
This is kind of a funny post because as we speak I am under the dryer right now allowing it to deeply penetrate my hair follicles! lol I have used this product so many times in the past, but now I am deciding to do a review on it. I love this deep conditioner! It helps restore the health and shine back to my hair when I feel I have lost all hope! lol It's not the cheepest product in the world ... it would definitely be a splurge to a woman on a budget! However, if you can ..... definitly invest. A little bit goes a long way so don't think you will run through it fast then wonder where your money went! lol<br />
<br />
<i><b>My Steps:</b></i><br />
<br />
After shampooing I apply Protein Rx Anti-breakage Treatment Mask and then comb through my hair with a wide tooth comb. Next I put on a plastic deep conditioning cap and sit under the dryer that is positioned on High at the least 15min if I am on a time crunch, but normally I will try and do at least 30min. Then I rinse out the water with lukewarm water and then style whichever way I am deciding to wear my hair that day.<br />

<b>What their website says:</b><br />
<br />
This bronzer creates a beautiful, glowing tanned complexion and has the added benefit of sun protection. Simply buff Faux Tan SPF 15 All-Over Face Color onto those areas of the face the sun would naturally touch (like the bridge of your nose, eyes, cheeks, and forehead) using the Buff & Go Brush and enjoy a natural, sun-kissed look without ever stepping foot in the sun. With one gorgeous swipe of 100% Natural SPF 15 Lipgloss, you'll be fabulously faux-tanned and foxy.<br />
<br />
<b>My Story:</b><br />
<br />
I think I have a complex. lol I like to be tanned and well that requires products! I have been playing around with this kit for a few months now and I absolutely love it! The color is a deep golden bronze. If I want a deeper color application I will use the brush it comes with, but if I want a lighter application then I will use my BM Flawless Brush. The brush it comes with is a great and it's retractable so it makes a great travel brush! This kit retails for $34. <br />
<br />
<i>Deeper Application:</i><br />
I swirl the bush in the container, tap off the excess, then use the side of brush to sweep the color wherever I want it at, next I buff in circular motions where I just swept the color. <br />
<br />
<i>Lighter Application:</i><br />
I use my BE Flawless Application brush, swirl the brush in the container, tap of the excess, then sweep across my forehead, cheeks, jawline and nose.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-2366436233498704293?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-74827850440694190552011-07-28T22:09:00.000-05:002011-07-28T22:09:00.499-05:002011-07-28T22:09:00.499-05:00Green Tea Eau de Parfum<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_u0YEg4KZo/ThUjT7f0gQI/AAAAAAAAAWE/wakHQifJkE4/s1600/CIMG5923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_u0YEg4KZo/ThUjT7f0gQI/AAAAAAAAAWE/wakHQifJkE4/s320/CIMG5923.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

As I am going through the sale bins I come across this Green Tea Parfum. My eyebrow raised and I thought huh that is different. I asked one of the sales associates what she thought about the scent. She said she loves it and recently bought a few bottles since it is being discontinued. I smelled it and loved it. I had been looking for a few new fragrances lately.<br />
<br />
It has a light clean fragrance with hints of Jasmine, Green Tea, and Citrus. It really reminds me of Summer, but can definitely be worn year round. A little will definitely go a long way so don't over do it and with the size of this bottle it will definitely last a long time.<br />
<br />
When I first get a fragrance I like to get others opinion on it and so far it's a 10 out of 10 to others! The normal response is "That's different but I like it".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-7482785044069419055?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-15880520641034604662011-07-26T17:30:00.001-05:002011-08-19T00:02:55.526-05:002011-08-19T00:02:55.526-05:00I got my July BIRCHBOX in!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wyVuR21dD6E/TiSFoJyy75I/AAAAAAAAAYM/pORCFRRiluk/s1600/CIMG5940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wyVuR21dD6E/TiSFoJyy75I/AAAAAAAAAYM/pORCFRRiluk/s320/CIMG5940.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

<b>KIND Almond & Apricot</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Price - Varies on Location</div><br />
<i>This was a little something Extra I was sent! </i><br />

<i>A must for all Cynthia's runway shows, this weightless spray gives hair a brilliant finish.</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I can actually say I do like this product. It has a aerosol sprayer. It doesn't leave the hair oily but with a very shiny and healthy look. I spray it all over my hair then work it through my fingers. It also has a nice light hold perfect for me since I have been wearing my hair more natural this summer. I doooo suggest that you keep your bathroom door open while spraying I had my door closed and almost choked! lol<br />
<br />

<b>My Story:</b> <br />
<br />
While Shopping I found a few concealer brushes and a fan brush ..... hmmmmm my verdict on the concealer brush is it's synthetic, and thick, applies product a little heavier than I would like so I just use less product which is a good thing lol ... now the fan brush it frays a lot so its just not my favorite and I have it tucked away in my drawer ... I will find a use for it one day. <br />
<br />
I also picked up a few eyebrow pencils they are great and just as good as the MAC eyebrow pencils but cheaper. I have a set for myself also. Now the Jane mascara was on sale. So I decided to try it .... verdict don't care for it. Since it was on sale it doesn't hurt to bad! lol<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-6167355196763023126?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-69795741405080928702011-07-21T13:00:00.001-05:002011-07-21T13:00:03.293-05:002011-07-21T13:00:03.293-05:00Sears Shoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZUWcE81-8M/ThUkfkLdBcI/AAAAAAAAAXE/u9iaEHcGgxM/s1600/CIMG5931.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZUWcE81-8M/ThUkfkLdBcI/AAAAAAAAAXE/u9iaEHcGgxM/s320/CIMG5931.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
My story:<br />
<br />
I was in Sears with my mom and well she was making me buy a dress for my grandfathers funeral. I can say the dress was cute and well I was cute in it! lol We are alike in some ways that we both had to take a stroll through the shoe isles lol Anyone that knows me knows I love me a good wedge. I tried them on but thought they look really cute on my feet but $40+ uhhh let me think about this for a sec. The sale associate walked passed and really liked them also. She said let me go check the price for you. She came back and said they were on sale for $11. I was to excited! lol In person they are probably a shade darker.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-6979574140508092870?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-21015279564438562192011-07-19T13:57:00.001-05:002011-07-19T13:57:01.038-05:002011-07-19T13:57:01.038-05:00Decent Products at a Decent Price ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l9jgNSePhLE/ThNenwLpxhI/AAAAAAAAATQ/P-AyZnGIdo8/s1600/Big%2BLots%2Band%2BDollar%2BStore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l9jgNSePhLE/ThNenwLpxhI/AAAAAAAAATQ/P-AyZnGIdo8/s320/Big%2BLots%2Band%2BDollar%2BStore.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Not exactly sure what I was looking for but I guess whatever would catch my eye. lol I had a wedding coming up in a few days and I was out and about just making sure I had whatever I needed for my clients.

<b><i>The description on their website:</i></b><br />
The innovative hydrating glaze of our Pretty Amazing Lipcolor cocoons your lips in opaque high-impact lipcolor. The cushiony texture, insatiable shine and seriously polished appearance will propel you into an elevated state of gorgeousness. And our precision applicator handles like a racecar, cornering, sculpting and accentuating every curve of your luscious lips for enduring color with real staying power. Pretty Amazing.<br />
<br />
<b><i>My Story:</i></b><br />
When I bought mine they were 3 for $39 with a free customizable bag. Ok so just let me say I sooo love these! They are kind of a mix between a lipstick and a gloss, creamy in texture, full color of a lipstick, staying power but not a stain, and a natural product.<br />
<br />
Depending on the day determines if I want more of a full coverage or sheer coverage. For full coverage take one side of the applicator and apply to the bottom lip and the other side to the top. The way the precision applicator is designed you can also use the pointed end to line your lips and then fill in with color. If I want a sheer coverage I apply to my bottom lip and then pat my two lips together and then I have sheer coverage. If i want a little shine I just add a little gloss and I am good to go! <br />
<br />
Ambition I use when I want a bold lip ---- True Fuchsia! <br />
Strength is a perfect red lip for me ---- True Red it is!<br />
Free Will is my favorite ... no giving that up lol<br />
Bravado I gave to my mom and she loves it ---- Deep Red<br />
<br />
As of now Pretty Amazing Lipcolor comes in 8 shades and sell for $16, but look out more shades may be coming soon! <br />

I was bored one night and just finished putting my Brush Belt together for a job the next morning so I took a picture of it ... and I wound up liking the shot. lol I have no idea how many brushes I have in my belt on the picture but hey I can count to hair clips. lol Last time I counted my brushes I had 80+ and that was months ago. I always have to tell people I have my own and then I have my freelance brushes. I don't use my freelance brushes on myself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-7508539646460349438?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-23164516563524835972011-07-08T14:44:00.003-05:002011-07-08T22:14:13.034-05:002011-07-08T22:14:13.034-05:00Keep your skin Healthy !The better you take care of your skin the better the makeup will look hands down! I can not say this enough to my clients, but when I say it they get it! lol <br />
<br />
It's really this SIMPLE .... <br />
<br />
1st - Cleanse<br />
2nd - Exfoliate <br />
3rd - Moisturize<br />
<br />
* and if you can add a basic facial once a month to your skin care routine to get rid of toxins that's even better! <br />

Throw some treatments in there if needed ... ex. eye cream, acne, manual exfoliater(scrub), chemical exfoliater, hyper pigmentation treatment, etc ...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-2316451656352483597?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-40639116160026735192011-07-05T12:00:00.000-05:002011-07-05T23:43:18.395-05:002011-07-05T23:43:18.395-05:00Finally Headed to the BBQ!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8k6VJu136fc/ThPmgLuhH7I/AAAAAAAAAUg/fIAbdAT2288/s1600/270832_631138576876_80500967_33313676_2856437_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8k6VJu136fc/ThPmgLuhH7I/AAAAAAAAAUg/fIAbdAT2288/s320/270832_631138576876_80500967_33313676_2856437_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />

I have been wanting to try MF foundations Invisible Cover and the Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation for a while to try something different.. Soooooo after work one day I ventured into Sephora for a sample of Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation shade #153 and the Matte formula from Sephora. However there are only #16 shades in Matte and I couldn't find a shade to match me I was totally bummed! The HD retails for $40. I applied it with a stippling brush or some people call it a skunk brush because of the white tips of the brush. I also set the foundation with a MAC Select Sheer pressed powder in shade #NC 35. I found that the coverage for me was the same as any other full coverage foundation. I have an oily T-Zone area and I feel like the wear was a little longer than and didn't feel as thick as my MAC Studio Fix foundation shade 40. Which retails for $26.50. I also felt that I looked less shinny in my T area. Which is kinda strange because they are both oil free.<br />

This summer I seem to be on a long Racerback Maxi Dresses kick. I am in love with them and as I have been on my weight loss journey 35lbs loss and counting lol I have been able to wear these through my journey. Allowing me to not have to keep buying clothes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njD8hH8lm-8/Tg669JEoElI/AAAAAAAAARo/F3B5PKe__D8/s1600/Maxi%2BDress%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njD8hH8lm-8/Tg669JEoElI/AAAAAAAAARo/F3B5PKe__D8/s320/Maxi%2BDress%2B1.jpg" width="132" /></a></div><br />
The funny thing is I saw this dress months ago they had about five different colors in the same style, but the blue one caught my eye. At the time it was $38. So when I was thinking ok I want Maxi Dress for a BBQ this weekend I decided to go to Macy's and they had 1 of the 5 diff colors left and it was the blue style, it was in my size, and it was on sale for not $28 which I saw online, but for $15 in store. I was totally excited. The last one of the style left in the store and it was perfect for me ... lol I am probably the only person who finds this amazing! lol <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYhz19vZJn8/Tg67rbMhh9I/AAAAAAAAARw/Ki4KGe5l9jk/s1600/Maxi%2BDress%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYhz19vZJn8/Tg67rbMhh9I/AAAAAAAAARw/Ki4KGe5l9jk/s320/Maxi%2BDress%2B2.jpg" width="139" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Then I saw this cute brown Maxi Dress it also came in Grey. I loved both colors and the detail around the neck are, but I was limiting myself to just 1 dress.... It was so hard!!! lol <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Soooo which dress do you think I bought???<br />
<br />
<br />
side note --- off day from work means no makeup I like to give my face a break ... don't judge lol <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-3954805852082629977?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-56363560070649705702011-06-29T00:00:00.002-05:002011-06-29T02:13:35.149-05:002011-06-29T02:13:35.149-05:00Favorite Bronzers as of NoW !!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IOVmVKDtFcc/Tgqy05tzwKI/AAAAAAAAAPE/dzV2GgVzQ6I/s1600/CIMG5835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IOVmVKDtFcc/Tgqy05tzwKI/AAAAAAAAAPE/dzV2GgVzQ6I/s400/CIMG5835.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">Clinique Illuminating Bronzer</span> is great for a subtle dewy look to the skin it is also great if you mix a pearl size amount with your foundation for a hint of bronze<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">Bare Minerlas Faux Tan </span>is great if you want a no shimmer matte bronzer ... great for adding depth and serious contour to your face<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">Milani Baked Bronzer</span> is a great drug store brand I have heard a lot of people compare them to the MAC Gold Deposit. I would only say that if you Milani Bronzer has a lot of gold veining in it other than that it reminds me of BE Faux Tan with gold shimner<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">MAC Gold Deposit </span>I love especially on my clients who have deeper skin. There is a lot of gold veining in it so you can get an equal amount of bronzer and gold. A little goes a long way!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">MAC Refinded Gold</span> I love to use of my more fair skin clients. It's infused with gold glitter so its just a beauty to work with! It's subtle but can still pack a punch. this is another a little goes a long way product<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-5636356007064970570?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-90972847021320055922011-06-26T22:13:00.001-05:002011-07-13T22:39:09.510-05:002011-07-13T22:39:09.510-05:00Bath and Body Works is having another sale! lol<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HLdb77kwhe0/ThUj87CW9GI/AAAAAAAAAWc/tsynElRLMs8/s1600/CIMG5911-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="269" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HLdb77kwhe0/ThUj87CW9GI/AAAAAAAAAWc/tsynElRLMs8/s320/CIMG5911-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

My Story:<br />
<br />
After my first little splurge at BBW I loved Japanese Cherry Blossom and wanted my room and well apartment to smell like it! I looked online and saw they had one of my fav body fragrances for a home fragrance also. Sooooo before work I made a trip into the smell good store and well they had a 4 for $20 or 6 for $24. Well you can see which deal I went for. lol<br />
<br />
I purchased:<br />
2 Nightlight Wallflowers<br />
2 Japanese Cherry Blossom<br />
Moonlight Path<br />
Sandalwood Vanilla refills.<br />
<br />
I never realized how many fragrances BBW really had. I choose these fragrances because I wanted more of a perfume smell in my appartment not a sweet smell. The only drawback I have to my purchase is even though I thought the nightlight idea would be cool I didn't realize it wasn't a motion detection light. Meaning the light stays on all day not really caring for that to much!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-9097284702132005592?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008223822845521802.post-77932150719515028642011-06-24T23:52:00.000-05:002011-06-28T00:08:45.979-05:002011-06-28T00:08:45.979-05:00Bath & Body Works - Sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-naez9wHAWD0/TgleVg8MviI/AAAAAAAAAO8/6FvjcRRUAX8/s1600/CIMG5822.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-naez9wHAWD0/TgleVg8MviI/AAAAAAAAAO8/6FvjcRRUAX8/s320/CIMG5822.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Bath & Body Works is having another huge sale! I love to get a few things. I am a fragrance person but I don't think like my coworkers or like most women! lol They always come back to our store with BAGS full of product. I don't blame them though you can get items that are normally $10 for $2. Why not stock up ... Well I finally made my to the store of course the one fragrance I wanted for $2 was sold out .... I couldn't get mad though it is there most popular scent! lol But they did have a 3 for $10 of their Signature Collection. I picked up the Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray & Body Lotion and a Secret Wonderland Body Lotion ... and a 2oz size of Coconut Passionfruit Body Lotion. I paid $11 and some change! I have a feeling I may be back in there tomorrow. If I get some more things I will be sure to let you all know.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9008223822845521802-7793215071951502864?l=lmartistry.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LaNeice Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14538296751503488672noreply@blogger.com0
