I hate washing my hair everyday! In case you don’t know it is not healthy to wash your hair everyday plus it’s a major pain. For those in between washes I recommend Psst dry shampoo. It’s easy to apply, removes excess oils, and leaves hair feeling clean.
Comb through the hair to help deliver natural oils from the scalp to the ends of your hair. Take sections along the crown and throughout your hair spraying an even layer in each section. Let Pssst sit for a minute or two to soak up oil then comb through hair again. I like to do a blow dry touch up to help soak up the oil and smooth down ends but just around the crown and hairline.
You can find it at most drug stores for $6-7.

Looking for a subtle glow with out a sparkly or glittery look?
Benefit’s Moon Beam Illuminator is the perfect product to add a little glow to your look. It has a pinkish pearl color with gold undertone to slightly warm your skin tone providing a nice dewy finish. It gives you a beautiful sexy glow perfect for an everyday look or a special occasion.
This is seriously one of my favorite products. Add a dab to your moisturizer or foundation to give you a subtle all over glow or how about your body lotion if you are tan instead of a bronzer?
Where to use Moon Beam? Cheek bones, collar bone, shoulders, cleavage, down your nose or above your outer eyebrows.Don’t limit yourself to these areas. Get creative!
I included a picture of Kristen Bell to show you how beautiful it highlights the cheek bone area.
If you already have this product or decide to purchase the product and use it let me know. Give me some feed back!
Finally! I figured it all out and the video is working. I know my set up needs some work but let me know what you think!
I’m having trouble with my video tutorial so until I figure it out here is the look I’m doing along with the products I have used!

Here is how I recreated the SMOKEY EYE look. It seriously took me about 5-10 mins to recreate the look on myself. I want you to understand that you do not need to use the same makeup that I used or that macnc40 used. If you want to buy the same makeup then good for you! Add to that makeup collection girl! Just use similar colors and brushes that you feel comfortable with. Maybe you don’t have a black (carbon) shadow so use a dark brown instead. There is no need to go out and spend money on a bunch of makeup ladies. Get creative with what you have at home.
It’s a beautiful look for almost any occasion.
Give me your feed back!!
