Hey everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you are all looking forward to having a Happy New Year. We had a wonderful time here at my home with friends and family but it went by a little too fast for me. I can't believe this year is almost over and that we are heading into the year 2010! Yikes, where did the time go?
Anyway I thought it would be fun to try and recreate another makeup look using my daughter again as a model. This particular look is from MAC's holiday collection, Magic Mirth and Mischief. On MAC's website they have face charts with details of the products used to create each look. While we did not have the same exact product available we substituted with ones that were similar. We hope you enjoy the look as much as we enjoyed doing it for all of you!
Here is a breakdown of the products used to create this look:
FACE
La Mer moisturizer
ERA Everyday Primer
ERA Spray On Face Foundation in R4
CHEEKS
Mineralize Blush in Conjure Up
tarte glistening powder in tickled pink to highlight
EYES
Under Brow: Magnetized from the 6 Sorceress Eye Shadows
Lids: Under Your Spell Mineralize Eye Shadow (light yellow peach pink)
Crease: It's a Miracle (deep blue burgundy) along with Eccentricity, the light violet shade.
Liner: Pearlglide Eye Liner in Rave. Applied the darkest shade from the Sorceress kit over Rave.
Lashes: Ardell False Lashes on Top
Used BE Buxom Lash Mascara in Black on bottom lashes.
LIPS
LINER: Sonia Kashuk in NUDE
Lipstick: MAC Fafi in Utterly Frivolous
Lip Gloss: MAC Dazzleglass in PHIFF!
-----------------------------------------
Note: This review contains a sample/samples of products sent for consideration by a representative of the manufacturer. For more information please see my disclosure page.

Is this chilly winter weather drying you out?! No time to run to the salon before New Years Eve? Well guess what…you have a secret weapon to heal dry hair in your kitchen cupboard! Olive oil and mayonnaise isn’t just good for cooking, they’re an excellent moisturizing treatment for your hair and scalp. Here are fabulous tricks from stylists Josh Rosebrook and Robear Landeros at LA-based salon The Parlour on 3rd. To do an olive oil moisturizing treatment From The Parlour on 3rd Master Stylist Josh Rosebrook:
1. Take 1/4 cup olive oil and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
2. Part your hair into four sections and apply the warm olive oil to your scalp, section by section. Make sure to work the olive oil from the scalp to the ends of your hair.
3. Put a plastic cap on your hair and let the olive oil work its magic for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the cap. Shampoo, condition, and style your hair as usual.

Healthy Hair Mask From The Parlour on 3rd Stylist Robear Landeros:
The easiest, cheapest, and most effective hair mask secret known to stylists is mayonnaise. Who would have thought? Mayo is composed of egg yolk, lemon juice and vinegar, which can strengthen and moisturize your hair. Avoid commercial brands. Stick with organic for best results. Place a plastic bag over your hair after you apply. Leave it on for 30 minutes. If you don’t mind smelling like a ham sandwich, the end result is worth it!
