Happy Holidays!!

OK, so I have been M.I.A for a few weeks but for good reason. My dog has been extremely ill these past few weeks and I have literally been caring her back to life so forgive the lapse. The good news is that she is doing a bit better every day.  Please pray for her and keep your fingers crossed that she survives this nightmare!
Ok, life does go on and I will to. Thanks for your kind wishes!
So the holiday season is well underway and I have a few tips for your beauty preservation during the season.  Lets talk about what you have in your bag....
When attending an evening out whether you it be a holiday party or some other event, you MUST bring your touchup powder and your touchup gloss/lipstick.  The TWO most important thing in your purse...I wouldn't be caught dead without them so here are a few of my faves....
Since a nice vibrant lip is in style you must have something that pops! I wanna see pinks and reds and fuchsias dammit. Do not be afraid to ear these lustrous colors because you know what?  It looks hot and daring and insanely gorgeous!  Whether you are fair or darker skinned, there is a color for you.
And powders do not necessarily have to be the same powder you applied before you left the house. You want something to control the shine and mattify your skin.
I LOVE Laura Mercier Foundation powders and love the full yet natural coverage they provide.
Foundation Powder
Pressed Powder
NARS makes a great pressed powder as well. Check them out at www.sephora.com

Now onto Glosses and lip sticks....
MY personal favorite gloss is by NARS and I actually love ALL of their shades. AND believe me or not my favorite lipsticks are by good ole L'oreal.. Tawny is the perfect nude shade if you're doing a dark smokey eye.. They have gorgeous colors and they LAST!! Check them out at your local drug store.

So between you face and your lips you will be good for any holiday event or party or even while your shopping for that perfect gift for someone special. I wish you all a FABULOUS, GLAMMED UP HOLIDAY!!!  XOXO
