Seeing RED!!




But in a good way!
I am always on the hunt for a gorgeous, sultry but classic red.
Not too orange, not too blue...but definitely traffic stopping!
Well, look no further-drum roll please.............
Bobbi Brown's new metallic lip color in Jewel Red. Love love love this shade.
It is the perfect what I call "middle" red.
It is a blue red, so it's a bit on the cool side but has gold fleck tones to warm the shade, making it the perfect holiday pout. Many reds are matte or creamy but in this jewel,the warm metallic tone also allows for it to shine like the prettiest star.
I also wanted to blog about the best lip conditioner ever!
It's a new product from one of my favorite companies-AQUAPHOR.
Everyone knows I use this product by the tub and have tubes of it everywhere.Now they have a product especially for the lips-whahooooo!
So here's the scoop...after you brush your snaggles (teeth), brush over your lips to exfoliate them, apply a coat of aquaphor. Blot the remaining aquaphor and then apply your new perfect, stunning, glamorous Jewel Red lip color!

Orglamic Indeed!


Yikes...has it really been a month since our last post?
Well, October has shown to be the busiest month of the year yet.
I can't believe we made it out of there alive...but we did!
It was an amazing month for many reasons, and my girls were just simply some of the best!

I am slowly but surely trying to make more switches to natural and organic make up, especially for everyday instructionals. I feel like it still doesn't photograph as well as I would like for shoots, but it has come a loooong way baby for everyday use. I am not just talking about mineral make up (which is not my fav) but true blue or "green" make up.

We have a baby Sephora here in Charleston, but they do not carry every brand that the major stores carry. I will be traveling to the ATL next week and cannot wait to get my hands on this little goodie package from Josie Maran...it has all the glam essentials and happens to be natural and organic or Orglamic...check it out for yourself and see how much your skin will be thanking you.
I am slowly understanding that if I wouldn't eat it, I shouldn't be willing to put it on my skin.
Now I am still preaching to the choir here because I am certainly not all the way there- with my clothes, my house, my cars, and definitely not my make up...personally or professionally. But I am trying and making more of an effort.

I do believe a little well know woman named Oprah said, "When you know better, you do better". That's all I am trying to do.

In the meantime, I will check it out and give you all the 411 on this kit, looks fab!!

PS-It's only $52.00....can we say perfect stockin' stuffer??
