Easy classy look

Today I wanted something simple but kinda sexy...I am not sexy by any means but I guess the look can be....Was so easy using some of my new products I picked up at Ulta the other day....Here is what I used..

Eyes
Entire lid UD Shadow primer potion in Sin...
Under lower lashline UD Oraculum applied with pencil brush
Inner corner of eye UD White Rabbit
Lined upper lash line with Stila Stay all day waterproof liquid eye liner
Went over that with UD Jabberwocky and winged it out
MK Lash Love black mascara
MK Brow gel

Face
MK primer
Benefit You Rebel tinted moisturizer
Benefit Get Even powder
Benefit erase paste for under eyes

Cheeks
Benefit Creme to powder blush in Quickie

Lips
MK tinted lip balm in peony
MK lip gloss in Fancy Nancy

I really like this look..so easy.  Love the Stila liner.  Doesnt budge.  Quickie looks so bright in the compact but applies light.  No big pink rosy cheeks....Don't want to look like a clown...All the colors came from my UD Alice in Wonderland book of shadows....so want the anniversary set.....

My oxygen weight routine

Logging my workouts has made it so much easier to keep track of what part of my body and how often I have been working on that specific area.  As of right now I have been alternating between arms and a whole body cardio blast.  I do get cardio in at night when I walk otherwise I ride about 7 miles on my recumbent bike.   Using Oxygen magazine has been a huge blessing.  Detailed workout segments make it so easy for me who likes to work out at home.  I will be starting with a trainer when school starts.  Right now it is impossible to find the time.  Here is what I did yesterday....I did the Beach Body segment which works the whole body...cardio, core, arms etc.  Today I did the tricep bicep segment which I turned into a superset.  This one I just love....I have very strong arms and legs...My legs used to build so big when I was in high school from running track and lifting jeans were hard to wear.  I was a great sprinter.  Wish I still was....oh aging is so fun...I feel right now after learning how to eat and taking care of myself I am in the best shape of my life and I am very proud of myself for working this hard at it.....A multi vitamin daily and a protein fiber drink is a must for me also...So any way....That is what I do...What is every one else doing to keep in shape?  This kinda shows how well my arms and shoulders are building......Also my favorite music is Chris Brown....he keeps me moving when I don't want to.......

A little dramatic look for a Saturday...

Wow....after lawn mowing and working out I actually found the time to do a little more dramatic look today...We are going out for pizza tonight so I wanted to look halfway decent.  I have been working sooo hard on my body and working out it takes a lot of time and less on my love for using color.  I am more into a routine keeping a workout schedule so it is a little easier to work with my makeup finally.  So here is what I did today...

Eyes
Detrivore Primer
lid Too Faced Magenta Moon blended into the crease
Crease a purple color from Nyx Lake Moss trio
Highlight Smashbox no 3 from the eye wish palette took into tear ducts and lower lash line
lined upper lash line with ELF creme eyeliner in blue
lower outer lash line UD Ransom liner
MK lash love mascara in black
MK brow gel


Face
MK primer
Benefit You Rebel tinted moisturizer
Benefit Get Even powder
Dior Bronze Harmonie blush

Lips
Beute' gloss in skin trade.....

That's my look for the day....Does anyone else have plans today...How about your workout routine?  I highly recommend Oxygen magazine for weight training routines.  It is awesome and works.  Also I have been cutting loads of sugar out of my diet and doing the eating clean.  Builds muscle and really works....

My song for the day.....

Tarantino Look today!!!

This palette is so versatile to me and I love it.  My go to palette with colors that go with anything and very easy to work with.  I wanted to use green today and this green is a pretty shade...Here is what I used...


Eyes
Detrivore Primer
Lid secret pond blended into crease
Crease Hollyhock
Outer crease and lid Poppycock
Highlight Trupette
Lined upper and lower lash line with MK brown eyeliner.  Inner corner of eyes Taurella
MK Lash Love Black Mascara
MK eyebrow gel to give brows some definition

Face
MK primer
MK mineral foundation in Beige 1
Benefit Hoola bronzer lightly on whole face
Mac concealer under eyes
Mac Get Away Bronze cheek color

Lips
MK Whipped Berries

Simple and goes with anything.  Really love this palette.  I would like to try some more of this line but too afraid to go to Sephora.  Spend way too much money.  What is your go to palette?

Redken Nature's Rescue Refining Sea Polish

Since coloring my hair it gets so dry and I have the worlds worst water also.  Awhile ago I received a sample of this hair polish so yesterday I gave it a try.  First you wash your hair and then apply this working it into your roots and scrubing your hair and then rinse it well.  The product feels just like a body scrub strange but it rinsed out easily.  Actually I ended up loving it.  My hair feels so soft today and looks a whole lot brighter.  I am sure I will end up purchasing a full size of this.  Has anyone else tried this product?  If so do you like it?

Ah its been awhile

Wow, I haven't posted a full look in such a while.  With the weather hot and me focusing on my fitness I haven't worn too much makeup but today and wanted to do a pink look.  I have been having a heck of a time matching my foundation.  My face gets tan even though I use 50 SPF all the time so it is hard to match dark makeup.  It is either too dark or has an orange glow to it..so I hate to waste money with foundation this time of the year.  Any way here is the look I did today...

Mary Kay primer ( love this stuff)

Mary Kay Mineral foundation

Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Mac On a mission blush

Kiss My Sass blush in Cotton Candy

Hi Fi primer

lid Hi Fi In Bloom

Crease Hi Fi Misery and Hate

Inner corner MK eye pencil in White Wash

Passing this along....

This got sent to me and I thought I should share this.  We need to keep aware of the ones who are hurting from there children disappearing in the blink of an eye and I pray I never get put into this type of situation nor anyone of you.  Keeping the word out could be of great help and comfort.  Please take time to read and pass along if you would like.....Thanks...

July 21, 2011

Our daughter, Lauren, disappeared on June 3, 2011.  In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.  I truly hope as a parent, you never get that phone call.  The feeling is indescribable.  Weeks later, the feeling is the same.  It’s as if our lives before June 3rd never happened. We are suspended in time.  I cannot imagine doing anything other than searching for Lauren until the time we find her and can take her home with us.  Some days are paralyzing.  As you wake every morning, the nightmare begins again.  You cannot give in.  You cannot give up hope.  Every day you think this could be the day and every day I believe that with all my heart.

Lauren is so much more than a face on a poster.  She is Rebecca’s sister.   She has grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  She is our daughter.  Lauren has friends she adores.  Friends she would go the extra mile for.   Everyday something reminds me of her. It might be something as small as seeing a sunflower, hearing a song or noticing something I’d love to tell Lauren about. My heart is breaking.

Over the last several weeks, I’ve learned a new language no one should ever have to learn.  I now know what things like PLS, POI, recon, ATV and vetting all mean.  The word “ transition” is another way of letting me know a change is about to happen that I might not be happy about.  I’ve learned to speak while looking into a camera instead of a person’s eyes. I’ve learned that social media is a way to reach a great deal of people in a very short time.  I constantly read blogs, check Twitter and Facebook.  I’ve learned what it takes to update a website with the latest information about my dear sweet girl. I’ve learned how to suppress my pain.  I’ve learned how to keep thoughts of Lauren before June 3 at bay because when they come to the surface it is almost too painful to endure.  I’ve learned that you never run out of tears.  They are always there, always on the surface, a constant reminder of the ache in my heart.  I’ve learned that the world is comprised of many wonderful, kind people.  Just waiting to help Rob, Rebecca and me in any way they can.  

But outside all that goodness, I’ve learned there lurks an evil, a cruel, heartless element that cares more about themselves than the life of my daughter.   That this element of humanity exists in the world is beyond comprehension.  Your silence is deafening. Your lack of compassion is irreprehensible.  Your lack of respect for another human being which allows you to go day, by day, watching is unimaginable.  Everyone is put on this earth for a purpose.  Everyone has a defining moment.  In the blink of an eye Lauren disappeared.  Do not let this be your defining moment. You have no idea what you have taken from us.     

My promise to you, we will not rest until we find Lauren.   What are you waiting for?  You can still do the right thing.
 
Find Lauren…PO Box 1226…Bloomington, IN  47402-1226. 
 
Lauren, I love you with my heart and soul.  We will never give up.
 
Ever strong, ever determined, ever hopeful,
Charlene Spierer
