I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about a brush… but I really am! The new MAC Cosmetics MAC ’286 Duo Fibre’ Blending Brush JUST arrived at the MAC Pro store in Valley Faire, San Jose, CA. I don’t even see the brush on the official MAC website yet.
The tip is white, and I was told that it was especially designed to blend the Mineralize eyeshadows in the crease. I couldn’t wait to get up this morning to try it out! I used my Mineralize eyeshadow triple which includes a black sparkle shade (I always have a hard time blending black on my textured eyelids) and after applying the black heavily to my crease with a small pencil brush, I was able to blend it FLAWLESSLY into my crease with no blotchyness. Looks airbrushed and clean. This is a must-have for any makeup fan or artist as it cuts down the blending time in half. Amazing brush .. that isn’t saying enough.
To get it: $30 at Nordstrom, MAC Pro Store, Yahoo! Shopping:

HANA Air Professional Hair Dryer Review
Some of us are still repairing the damage that the summer sun did to our hair, some of us (me) got extensions and basically bought themselves healthy hair. Either way, protecting your hair from heat damage is a must, and there are multiple ways to do so, but you will have to make some investments to start.
After I had my extensions done, I left the salon with the most gorgeous hair of my life, but in the back of my mind, I would hear my stylist’s lecture about not being able to let my [...] Continue Reading…

After dreamily staring at the long locks of gorge celebs and rockin’ local makeup artists, I decided to take the plunge and get permanent hair extensions… and dye my hair RED. The transition from white platinum blonde to red was a bit of a shock and hard to process in my brain for a few weeks. But, I did it and I am extremely pleased! I have never received so many compliments in my life about my hair.. uhhh..and yes, I do admit to people that it isn’t real and that they can have the same hair that I [...] Continue Reading…
