    Bold Looks with @Maybelline Master Glaze Facestudio Blush Stick

    Maybelline New York has three new blush sticks that I am so excited to try.

    These Face Studio Master Glaze blush sticks are GLISTENING.  How to wear them? With confidence, and choose one – eye or lip to be minimal to set this look off perfectly. Think they are too bright and not wearable? They are sheer actually with a medium amount of pigment, it is not that scary but make sure you do have good lighting in your bathroom AND check again in natural light to avoid a clown face!!

    Here are some great examples I found in Pinterest that may inspire you.

    Glaze Craze!
    Now Cheeks Glisten with the Sheerest Color Glaze

    Why You’ll Love It

    • Cheeks go dewy and gently glazed with this portable, creamy blush stick.
    • Glazed pearls + a shea butter glide provide blendable, natural color and smooth, even application.
    • Fragrance Free. Non-comedogenic. Suitable for all skin types.

     

    For Best Results

    Glide over cheekbones towards the temple. Blend with fingertips and build for desired color impact.
    Expert Tip: Rushed for time? Master Glaze can also be used on eyes or lips for a sheer color glaze wherever you need it.

    Online Metrics from @AYIDating

    Love don’t cost a thing—or does it? Online dating site AYI.com examined nearly 1.5 million interactions between their users to determine what income level draws the most attention from potential matches.

    As it turns out, the gold digger concept is alive and well for both genders—but in different ways. 

    For women looking for men on AYI.com, every dollar counts:

    ·      A man’s chance of being contacted by a woman increases steadily as his income increases.

    ·      Men that listed their income as $150,000 or more being 82% MORE likely than men who made $20,000 or less to get contacted by a woman.

    For men seeking women on AYI.com, income doesn’t play as large of a role—until the woman makes a significant amount of money, that is.

    ·      A woman’s chance of being contacted by a man takes a big leap when her income rises above $100,000.

    ·      Women who listed their income as $150,000 or more were actually 65% MORE likely than women who earned $20,000 to get contacted by a man.

    Hoping to score the sugar daddy or sugar mommy of your dreams? Strike up a conversation about Mark Cuban, Barclays UK, Jim Cramer or the Wall Street Journal, as those are the top interests for financial singles on AYI.com. However, avoid mentioning Warren Buffet and Goldman Sachs, since these controversial topics totaled less than 300 likes from AYI.com singles combined.

    *Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm – $7.99

    This lip balm comes in a double cardboard outer tube and a standard swivel bottom stick. It is deceiving how big it actually is because of the outer packaging but the lip balm inside is just regular size. A perfect container to reuse for bobby pins and Q-tips! It is made with the goodness of Burt’s Bees beeswax with just the perfect hint of color and coconut oil along with floral waxes (Ylang yang and Jasmine).  Colors include: Sweet Violet, Red Dahlia, Rose, Hibiscus, Pink Blossom, Petunia, Blush Orchid, Caramel Daisy and Honeysuckle.

    All 9 shades are in stores early January.

    *Burt’s Bees Lip Shine – $9.99

    This squeeze tube lipgloss has an amazing scent! It is fruity, fresh and reminiscent of your favorite candy. Wearing the Lip Shine on it’s own or over lipstick is perfect. It gives off a non-sticky shine without glitter or shimmers. This one is by far my favorite of the three because of the convenient squeeze tube, the moisture factor and the natural apricot scent. It provides a wash of glassy color and nourishing hydration.

    The Lip Shines come in 6 colors – Whisper, Blush, Wink, Flutter, Pucker, Smooch

    Look for these colors in store early Feb 2013

    Body Repair in this Cold Freeze @GarnierCAN

    Canadian Winter beauty secrets gifts from my friends at Garnier Body. ❄️

    1⃣ Body Repair intensive lotion with Canadian Maple extract

    This lotion smells amazing, not like Maple but something else… It is not-sticky and has the consistency of regular lotion but has a much longer staying power. I use this straight out of the shower all over for the much needed moisture boost especially in the cold frigid winter days.
    2⃣ Body Repair reparative balm with Shea butter and glycerin …for super cold days like today!

    The uncomfortable and extra-dry skin… especially on my legs!  The snake like skin on my legs from shaving really needed a ‘balm’ like this. It is more than a moisturizer but a bit more absorbent than a Vaseline or butter.  It provides 48H of nourishing hydration. 

    3⃣ Cozy socks a la @rootscanada with a red and white peekaboo seam for boots

    These are a no brainer for any Canadian fashionista!
    4⃣ Golden maple syrup from Canada’s finest

    Maple Syrup Creme brûlée! Yes!
