Nude is the new Red.

I love nude lips. They can be so gorgeous and look so understated and beautiful.
The only problem is if they are not done right …
they can also look invisible, orange and (as Lindzi from The Bachelor is modeling for us) more like milk residue than lipstick.


The Hollywood secret here is the same Hollywood secret for fixing an otherwise lame movie…
Go 3D.
Because, even though your lips are nude you still want them to pop and you still want them to look big, right?
So you need to use 3 items:
Taupe Liner (line then blend), I use CoverGirl Mink Eyeliner
Nude Lipstick,SEPHORA COLLECTION Rouge Shine Lipstick No. 03 Tenderness
Shimmery Gloss ( just dab this in the pout of your lip and on the bow of your lip), I use NYX Mega Shine Gloss in Sugar Pie

Pair this with a smokey eye and say hello to the hotness.

Recession Root Session and other hair dye secrets

I am naturally a blonde…and by blonde I mean: mousey-ash-dirtydishwater color hair.
Needless to say I have to touch up my roots on the reg.
If I don’t, I start to look like I am balding. Which…as it turns out, is not a great look for me.
The problem is, I have neither the time nor the money to go to the salon every 3 weeks.
So out of necessity I have “mastered” the art of doing my own roots.
Out of a box.

It takes about 25 minutes, costs about 7 bucks and keeps me root free for the 4-6 mo. in between salon visits.
If you are overwhelmed by this idea, I think watching this video will ease your fears.
