I also smudged a bit of black liner into my top lash line to make my lashes appear darker and thicker to better fit the smokiness.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSSWZuPqIc5oZoO4bCgyzcy4aHxwF1JwJnIU4l7t8XDk77RMCHIcpXzaSyi8eSi_DO_K3o3tUzJNLxwbPPio6Y5B6_lwHm2_pBWS26VwWgagrzDDNalsJzQebJr9doPGJy3nEbV8jtGmu/s1600/028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSSWZuPqIc5oZoO4bCgyzcy4aHxwF1JwJnIU4l7t8XDk77RMCHIcpXzaSyi8eSi_DO_K3o3tUzJNLxwbPPio6Y5B6_lwHm2_pBWS26VwWgagrzDDNalsJzQebJr9doPGJy3nEbV8jtGmu/s640/028.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ever since rediscovering <i><u>Hang Loose</u></i> in my stash several weeks ago, I've been rocking the slightly shimmery, cool, pale pink flush rather a lot. I think I like it more on me now that I'm at my palest, since I was quite a bit more tanned when I purchased it years ago and rarely reached for it. I find that when the two shades are swirled together, the shimmery lavender adds just the right amount of sparkle and sheen, making Hang Loose one of those highlighter-and-blush-in-one kind of products.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And <i><u>Sheer Pink Lust</u></i>.

This look of Khloe Kardashian is a beautiful holiday look. She wore a dark lip with shimmery eyes and lots of contouring and hilighting. I had such a fun time doing this look on my beautiful friend Aliyah.

We sure did. It was great to relax at home with family and good food and really just enjoy time together. It's always nice to have a day to really reflect upon all of our blessings and great things we all truly have to be thankful for. My list of "thankfuls" is usually the same... It's never really about specific material things, but more about things that really matter. Like health, family, having a warm home and full stomachs. Things that can often be taken for granted, but that we should really take the time to be thankful for every day. Stuff that matters. To me, it's just the definition of a "warm n' fuzzy" holiday and I love it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxhO4WIPmJ2rBj7ILuTLFpkeXdlpW0R852Xnv1TahoQ9EDInnPOgR9YBROpB-SNpwKQ5D3faum88PjNRBUbFJu_QZSqWGekidMsHPZ1sDmjRCO5WGKfSYL70nXSjw4vbyZUAeeKQ16Q/s1600/unnamed+(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxhO4WIPmJ2rBj7ILuTLFpkeXdlpW0R852Xnv1TahoQ9EDInnPOgR9YBROpB-SNpwKQ5D3faum88PjNRBUbFJu_QZSqWGekidMsHPZ1sDmjRCO5WGKfSYL70nXSjw4vbyZUAeeKQ16Q/s1600/unnamed+(4).jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><br />Can you believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone?? I'm so happy that we're now officially into the holiday season! Did any of you guys venture out for Black Friday? I've said it before, but I'm a Black Friday hermit. I usually shop from home in pj's with a plate (or three) of Thanksgiving leftovers. This year was pretty crazy because I didn't shop at all!<br />Definitely check out my Holiday Gift Guide <a href="http://makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com/2013/11/holiday-gift-guide-2013-with-sale.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed it! Especially since most of the sales are still going on through Monday at least.<br /><br />We also got a bit of a head start with our Christmas decor around here too. I always like to have the tree(s) up by Thanksgiving just because we may not always do Christmas dinner at our house and I think it's fun to have a bit of holiday cheer goin' on around here in case there is family that may not have dinner here then. But let's just be honest, the main reason is because Brad and I are big kids when it comes to Christmas and we're usually itching to put the trees up come early November anyway. So it was definitely fun to have that going on too. We also kept to our usual tradition of putting up our Christmas lights outside on Friday. So we're in full Christmas season mode around here and I love it.<br /><br />Before we get into my November Favorites for this month, I thought I'd share with you a very small peek into our Thanksgiving day, since this was the first we've hosted at our new home!<br />I wasn't really planning on doing a blog post, so the photos were all quickly snapped with my iPhone. Keepin' it casual. Much like we like to do Thanksgiving around here.<br /><br />Here's a shot of the table...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzIlePxGJy-3DA4umfuyWxOg_MqHVZsMh90tNkcpvdRm_PrNWcyoiUb_yP_n5HrrWcpyJJtXO3iLNa-XrFD9cWhwm3yo7lcO_FIRGUWSEU6HZqsWy39ERZgCr7Edhh3Qzuo7YD5Yo_LQ/s1600/unnamed+(6).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzIlePxGJy-3DA4umfuyWxOg_MqHVZsMh90tNkcpvdRm_PrNWcyoiUb_yP_n5HrrWcpyJJtXO3iLNa-XrFD9cWhwm3yo7lcO_FIRGUWSEU6HZqsWy39ERZgCr7Edhh3Qzuo7YD5Yo_LQ/s1600/unnamed+(6).jpg" height="640" width="476" /></a></div><br />I kept it simple with some disposable placemats. These are SO easy. I use these for every holiday. They come in pads of 50 which seem to last forever. I couldn't find the exact wreath design ones I have but <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/dfifjztw6" target="_blank">these</a> are pretty darn close. I like to have the cranberry sauce on the table, with some sweet and spicy mustard for the ham and turkey, butter, and some little turkey salt and pepper shakers that were my Grandma's.<br />Those are my typical chargers/plates/napkin table set I usually have going on, so I kept those out to be pretty. But when dinner time came, we ate on some more simple plates we had that made things super easy.<br /><i>Yup, that's a tree in the background... I'll show it in my Holiday Home Tour coming up this week!</i><br /><br />We had the most delish meal. Turkey, ham, dressing (with my Grandma's special gravy I love), potato salad, green beans, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, and I made the sweet potato casserole and broccoli casserole. Oh and there was of course, pies and cookies my mom made for dessert.<br />I <i>live</i> for Thanksgiving food.<br /><br />Before we ate, I snapped this pic really quick of all the food set up. I think next year, I'll put all of the food on the big island near where the ham and turkey is just to make things easier. We had a lot more room to spread out this year!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxR-3GD6YAT2l8FB6SSyqFoyBhWt0S6DU5hQjhIa0y1C5lqiEkPCnzapyacnkXr16CKjKgxBS0oPDm8lYYa_12M5W5y1HPoEkjJLcZdPGra8bFqYaT7hLoFEkRaVc7ChkQTB9mXnQRw/s1600/unnamed+(5).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOxR-3GD6YAT2l8FB6SSyqFoyBhWt0S6DU5hQjhIa0y1C5lqiEkPCnzapyacnkXr16CKjKgxBS0oPDm8lYYa_12M5W5y1HPoEkjJLcZdPGra8bFqYaT7hLoFEkRaVc7ChkQTB9mXnQRw/s1600/unnamed+(5).jpg" height="640" width="478" /></a></div><br />And then there's this...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgit0wETCXpF5qpjMENkQhuX5c6r9YP1lOjoQ2f6noZA6XDxsPCGohTgasRKFAM6s2oLF1w_SAa60wlWdeEOSSGUu7dO81KZ4PMo2sSrDqXJfxdbFjvMp85cSFCMY6kdEwSgI7wY4vdDA/s1600/unnamed+(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgit0wETCXpF5qpjMENkQhuX5c6r9YP1lOjoQ2f6noZA6XDxsPCGohTgasRKFAM6s2oLF1w_SAa60wlWdeEOSSGUu7dO81KZ4PMo2sSrDqXJfxdbFjvMp85cSFCMY6kdEwSgI7wY4vdDA/s1600/unnamed+(3).jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div><br />Had to squeeze a Christmas tree in there too of course.<br />This is our crazy 12-ft mall lobby Christmas tree. It pretty much owns the living room...haha. It's huge and definitely freaked us out at first. But we are kind of in love with it. It's an led tree that has pretty warm white lights that can change to multi-colored at the push of a button. It's pretty awesome.<br /><br />All of the details will be up next week, along with some much better photos. I'll be sharing my holiday home tour with you guys showing you all the fun stuff I've put out for the season (and the other trees we have too-- I told you, we're Christmas freaks), since you all loved it so much last year. So I'm really excited for that.

Well some new, some old. Actually a quick little lighting change up I did (all by myself) a few weeks ago spurred this entire post and sort of triggered me to share lots of the lighting updates we've done around here. Most were done the week we moved in! Some of these are old news to us, but still something I haven't shared yet, so new to the blog, right? ;)<br /><br />So my point here is that when you move into a home, usually it doesn't reflect your personal style right away. People usually think to change paint colors and of course bring in unique accessories and furniture that reflect their style, but I've found that a lot of people overlook something that makes a HUGE difference. Lighting. It can really change the whole feel of your home.<br />We talk about decor and fun stuff to make your home unique on here all the time, so I can't believe I've never really talked a lot about this subject!<br /><br />Part of that is because it can get expensive. The other part is because they can be a hassle to install. This post definitely isn't a how-to on that, because the day I start giving electrical advice, I'd probably need to re-think this blog... haha<br />So we're not even going there. If you're unsure about installing fixtures yourself, hire an electrician to be safe.<br />Ok, back to the post...<br /><br />So our house came with builder-grade fixtures. However, they were brand new. So we brought a few fixtures from our last house we loved (the dining room and breakfast area chandeliers) and replaced the ones at the old house with the ones at the new house. The dining room chandelier at our current house was actually really beautiful. Looking back, I kind of wish we would've kept it for the foyer, but the lantern-style fixture in there is really growing on me. Oh well, it's living at our last house and that's fine by me.<br /><br />So we'll get to those in a moment, but my point is that we knew we'd want to change out a lot of the "boob" lights. Surely, you know what I mean. No other way to describe them. They look like ceiling-mounted boobs. Not really what I'm going for around here.<br /><br />So anyway, I'm going to share with you all the fixtures we've added so far, but first I want to share these little guys that inspired the whole "lighting" post. <br /><br />These are in the little bar area in the basement...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghizu3uqmoQaQuh2wgi0QMrFImT9Em_DY2utsOp1tJIBXjsEdMIS4Mtg24Qve50p20tc1mWCPceCykUx6VGLcXLM5JPDRdbpLRB_x3Nm5Od2KFbdqNRrxmMXEtz695VyD3YvbGXXUi_w/s1600/IMG_5433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghizu3uqmoQaQuh2wgi0QMrFImT9Em_DY2utsOp1tJIBXjsEdMIS4Mtg24Qve50p20tc1mWCPceCykUx6VGLcXLM5JPDRdbpLRB_x3Nm5Od2KFbdqNRrxmMXEtz695VyD3YvbGXXUi_w/s640/IMG_5433.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br />Ugh. that room looks straight up yellow. I will learn how to photograph it one of these days... haha. Until then, imagine it as a pretty tan.<br /><br />Can you believe I put up those little pendants in less than five minutes??<br />Ok, don't get too impressed. I cheated a bit- They're a recessed can adapter. They screw in at the top just like a lightbulb. We had these in the kitchen at our last house and the other day it just totally hit me that they would be perfect down there! I got mine from <a href="http://www.ballarddesigns.com/hardwire-light-adapter-with-glass-pend-shade/209487" target="_blank">Ballard Designs</a>. The only catch is that you have to have a recessed (can) light already installed. You just unscrew the bulb at the ceiling and screw in the adapter. Kind of genius.<br /><br />You may notice the table is gone. Yeah we decided to garage-sale it. I figured it wouldn't really get a ton of use down there. We're still on the hunt for a great bar or maybe a long, taller table that is narrow. So that we can still use bar stools with it. I'll keep you updated!<br /><br />So speaking of pendant lights... how similar do these look to the ones in the basement??<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBxoe9EhFB6zebiRxTey_T11TapIKy6Nw-u8A9CIUnWCn_Vr5zZ4C-SWjUpYtlMncz3J0nu1vm2XvdCGrghbEVzc36mEYXXtALS7D14m1w299-quSY1Dn3d7b_eebXG3WAZHS53hAAw/s1600/IMG_5416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBxoe9EhFB6zebiRxTey_T11TapIKy6Nw-u8A9CIUnWCn_Vr5zZ4C-SWjUpYtlMncz3J0nu1vm2XvdCGrghbEVzc36mEYXXtALS7D14m1w299-quSY1Dn3d7b_eebXG3WAZHS53hAAw/s640/IMG_5416.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br />These are actually hard-wired. We replaced some boob lights with these. We had these in the hall of our previous home too. <br />But seriously, how cool are the lightbulbs??<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKnsBDCEWgbNf63Rx_r5TTeUKsBraovxYos0H_YpAwmUEzWE3US7br-pzltSOZAbQsSZlu5JwiMcEbHwLnj1_Dr2_RbJP72y8_YtadYQqK1VoHEWXy4MCaDx8t0ioDI4NagrZH49cpEQ/s1600/IMG_5414.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKnsBDCEWgbNf63Rx_r5TTeUKsBraovxYos0H_YpAwmUEzWE3US7br-pzltSOZAbQsSZlu5JwiMcEbHwLnj1_Dr2_RbJP72y8_YtadYQqK1VoHEWXy4MCaDx8t0ioDI4NagrZH49cpEQ/s640/IMG_5414.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br />They have chrome ends! Pretty awesome. I can't believe we blinded ourselves with regular bulbs in these for so many years. I put these same bulbs in the similar basement fixtures too.<br /><br /><div style="background: white; height: 120px; margin: 0px auto; width: 270px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="120px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=n_2637748,n_2637784&rows=1&cols=2&brand=1&price=0&hover=1" width="270px"></iframe></div>Before we go on, you may notice the little cutie in the laundry room. It was the chandelier in the closet at our last house. I didn't have plans to change the light in there until my dad was over here helping us change out the fixtures and he said, "Hey, let's put it in here." Good call, dad. Good call.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8I-Zt2MgbKv9kj80bEVMVE-kgfnVZhuzQ3TVnBDP30eJYBaRBvJzo6sL_UC5sczDhoDmFyyVBnxOcezxtJw_VIBp4Arq1E0pgYZ0Jx-dF8oRTrJ1pRamswccoku89WSmwO6pyLvQRLg/s1600/IMG_5411.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8I-Zt2MgbKv9kj80bEVMVE-kgfnVZhuzQ3TVnBDP30eJYBaRBvJzo6sL_UC5sczDhoDmFyyVBnxOcezxtJw_VIBp4Arq1E0pgYZ0Jx-dF8oRTrJ1pRamswccoku89WSmwO6pyLvQRLg/s640/IMG_5411.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br />Seriously how fun is that? Adding a fun little touch like that in a space like a laundry room makes it feel special. I've had this little chandelier for years. I got this one maybe six or seven years ago at Home Depot. I mean, who doesn't want to feel a little fancy doing laundry?<br /><br />Speaking of fun fixtures (and hanging on to them for years), we added this fun fixture in the little landing area at the top of our stairs in the hallway the week we moved in also.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLfPbYNaYffQlvWS6-Wnw0FL6L_Vlh4auv_iid6uzY8dkw7c1_41R_1q8NOYFlHs-ISXHseQhL61LCwoc7kRLMMjrY1RNLj8XWoYd5p2S6lSNmZqI8tLfX3lZtc_HcOC9gILrr7BKZg/s1600/IMG_4754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxLfPbYNaYffQlvWS6-Wnw0FL6L_Vlh4auv_iid6uzY8dkw7c1_41R_1q8NOYFlHs-ISXHseQhL61LCwoc7kRLMMjrY1RNLj8XWoYd5p2S6lSNmZqI8tLfX3lZtc_HcOC9gILrr7BKZg/s640/IMG_4754.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-fC8bqwIAghS15W5eB6-SR7WWosxxyPVxeCDsgZNopEEYAFFAySUZ4vUROvlFR-oeJmWllsw-qYg9-ANUNp7CynY2W-q4hmmYCJ3DqMP2eDUUYgYVHzhp52KCWxtQSyLZnUUpn11t4Q/s1600/IMG_4750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-fC8bqwIAghS15W5eB6-SR7WWosxxyPVxeCDsgZNopEEYAFFAySUZ4vUROvlFR-oeJmWllsw-qYg9-ANUNp7CynY2W-q4hmmYCJ3DqMP2eDUUYgYVHzhp52KCWxtQSyLZnUUpn11t4Q/s640/IMG_4750.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br />The hallway is still basically untouched other than the little fixture change up, but I think it made a huge difference!<br /><br />This guy sat in our garage at our previous house for three years!! I got it on sale at a ridiculous price at a local sale and just held on to it, waiting for the perfect place to put it. Can't believe we never hung it at our last house, but I guess it worked out perfectly!<br /><br />Here's a very similar one...<br /><div style="background: white; height: 120px; margin: 0px auto; width: 160px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="120px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=n_2637217&rows=1&cols=1&brand=1&price=0&hover=1" width="160px"></iframe></div>This one is nice because it is an actual pendant so you can have some more options.<br /><br />Next up, the lighting change-up in the kitchen. I have no before photos, because I made it a point to crop the old fixtures out of any photos we took when we moved in. The kitchen was complete with two HUGE ceiling-mounted fluorescent box fixtures. Fluorescent lighting is basically the bane of my existence.<br />For the few weeks we lived here with them up, I got used to cooking by the light of the chandelier over the breakfast nook and the one recessed light above our sink. It was awful.<br />So we replaced those with these and have been loving them ever since...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmJmWb533qdKhJ89iEEUJkHU1ADjNx4QSnFFOE6TxEAbGxI1M98KcmBlaxLpYpeWkz6iBdIY1CbCmgUPVTxR_0IHC6m3xu1QxOxgmjES7UUDn2H5_tCTz9rVjqcZynM3zIzJyxVgfZA/s1600/IMG_5557.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmJmWb533qdKhJ89iEEUJkHU1ADjNx4QSnFFOE6TxEAbGxI1M98KcmBlaxLpYpeWkz6iBdIY1CbCmgUPVTxR_0IHC6m3xu1QxOxgmjES7UUDn2H5_tCTz9rVjqcZynM3zIzJyxVgfZA/s640/IMG_5557.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-fGgWcWcCCZxr1jHqigwHvQf21zRnhGgeazUTjhGK69Ktz2Y9KW8phEGe0ea8C_MGZ0YV0LuPbrV_6jR6m797v6OcyHQArg6yzuaPyTOUAM4qr7HcBeqSCqBYkUVAj8qIhzUkTjPGg/s1600/IMG_5563.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-fGgWcWcCCZxr1jHqigwHvQf21zRnhGgeazUTjhGK69Ktz2Y9KW8phEGe0ea8C_MGZ0YV0LuPbrV_6jR6m797v6OcyHQArg6yzuaPyTOUAM4qr7HcBeqSCqBYkUVAj8qIhzUkTjPGg/s640/IMG_5563.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br />Still contemplating changing the paint in here. It's definitely not as yellow as it looks. It's more true to the backsplash on the left and the front of the island (since those are the same exact colors).

Well my order came (and smashed, as my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/makeupbytiffanyd" target="_blank">Instagram</a> followers may remember), and I got some great stuff.<br />I also made a little trip to Ulta this past week. <br />Oh, and the drugstore. <br />Somebody stop me.<br /><br />So I decided to put together a little video to give you all a peek at all my new goodies! I hope you all enjoy it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">My new goodies...</span></b></i></div><div style="background: white; height: 120px; margin: 0px auto; width: 710px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="120px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=a04fd896c1103bc38c89594f417f2705,0b55a14243049187d82a994050ca72d8,n_2648083,n_2513128,77c72c4a90db0adedc9fcf1dd04d2ead,584301ae265e792ed6f327ae0811d791,f55bcda7a7d334287a7c2d762c12966e,10d7276122282376440245441d51259f,b9352df54c1b51e377df70e5850d4091,n_571252&rows=1&cols=6&brand=1&price=0&hover=1" width="710px"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Ga1jV-P4Ho8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Worn in this video...</span></i></b></div><br /><div style="background: white; height: 120px; margin: 0px auto; width: 270px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="120px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=n_3202450,n_3202594&rows=1&cols=2&brand=1&price=0&hover=1" width="270px"></iframe></div><br />Be sure to subscribe to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/makeupbytiffanyd" target="_blank">my YouTube channel</a> and look for 3 more new videos coming up this week!

Autumn Winter Collection</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> $25 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This collection of mini polishes truly rounds up some of the quintessential colors of this time of year, including a vampy maroon and an earthy brown. The pale grey is a standout in my eyes, as it has some unexpected, yet subtle, pretty pink shimmer running through it.</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:2: </span><a href="http://www.sephora.com/hand-cream-trio-P382763?skuId=1549484" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Caudalie Hand Cream Trio</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> $25 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyone would be lucky to receive this set of luxurious, French vineyard-inspired hand creams, although I think one in each stocking would more than suffice. A rich and nourishing hand cream is a necessity this time of year.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:3: </span><a href="http://www.sephora.com/sugar-kisses-mini-lip-trio-P383127?skuId=1551290" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fresh Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Trio</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> $28 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This trio of cult favorites has all of her bases covered: a subtle nude, an everyday pink and a juicy red. Hydrating, sheer but buildable pigmentation and chic packaging? These tinted balms tick all the right boxes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:4: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/pink-peppermint-blotting-linens-P376216">Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens</a> $5 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Boscia's blotting linens are a favorite among many that suffer from dreaded midday shine, and the sparkley pink packaging with linens made from natural leaf fibers might provide a bit of insight into why. As for the pink peppermint scent? It doesn't get anymore festive (or refreshing) than that. Don't be rude - <i>buy her multiples.</i></span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:5: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.travalo.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3762&products_id=7451">Travalo Touch Rollerball</a> $20 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This device makes it possible for her to decant her normal, spray perfume into a convenient (not to mention chic) on-the-go rollerball. That way, she can have her gorgeous perfume bottle sitting prettily at home on her vanity while still being able to enjoy her favorite fragrance on the road. Who <i>wouldn't </i>want the best of both worlds?</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:6: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/mor-lip-macaron-set-40-value/3511924?origin=category&BaseUrl=Gifts+%26+Value+Sets">MOR Lip Macaron Set</a> $25 ::</span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Another set that is perfect for splitting up.

Favorite Look This Week #5<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was exactly intentional, but I realized sometime this week that I've been slowly incorporating more fall tones into my makeup little by little. My favorite look this week was a bit heavier and smokier than some of the other MFLTW looks, and it's a favorite for a few different reasons:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Firstly, I'm wearing the base combination I talked about in <a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/11/made-to-last.html">this post</a>, and the fuller coverage has been a nice change of pace for me. It doesn't hurt that the lasting power is phenomenal either. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Secondly, the eyes. I had been using my <i><u><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/11/laura-mercier-artists-palette-for-eyes.html">Laura Mercier Artist's Palette</a></u></i> almost exclusively since acquiring it a few weeks ago, but I started missing my <u><i><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2012/09/lorac-pro-palette.html">LORAC PRO Palette</a></i></u> this week, so I took it out for a spin. It's still my favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment, without a doubt. It's not easy finding a palette where you literally love every single shade. I opted for a smokey, taupey-purple in this look.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lastly, I'm infatuated with <i><u>Illamasqua Lies'</u></i> glossy pink sheen. I have quite a few highlighters, but definitely nothing quite like Lies.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRKL2tqwIyL8DIJQxZ73HDZ82-2xDBPA0gRkCpm8-LUn_o3XDihyphenhyphen4HMO0_Dise-55Gii3kOA76wDhFES6BfbOXXYT3NfXyVSnh_SE-YAneBzNcooETleU2tdhy1PYGUKKn_egYAKH8fdhO/s1600/024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRKL2tqwIyL8DIJQxZ73HDZ82-2xDBPA0gRkCpm8-LUn_o3XDihyphenhyphen4HMO0_Dise-55Gii3kOA76wDhFES6BfbOXXYT3NfXyVSnh_SE-YAneBzNcooETleU2tdhy1PYGUKKn_egYAKH8fdhO/s640/024.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rs51urFzh8t-hEKhfCxKoToGiyTjqeOWkCDYD8GdHpOS5DBROfT59cTQxrvcYcAtBRzcFEBN7wC9UYQpIiTS_0IEDPEXEwRZLiD70B9qp8GoOJ8BObNsFAAn6RAq2igdmLfkha5d1mxu/s1600/026+cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rs51urFzh8t-hEKhfCxKoToGiyTjqeOWkCDYD8GdHpOS5DBROfT59cTQxrvcYcAtBRzcFEBN7wC9UYQpIiTS_0IEDPEXEwRZLiD70B9qp8GoOJ8BObNsFAAn6RAq2igdmLfkha5d1mxu/s640/026+cropped.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>LORAC PRO Palette</u></i> (I used Nude, Pewter, Mauve, Sable and Garnet)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Bobbi Brown Blush in Berry</u></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Chanel Les Beiges Powder in 30</u></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Illamasqua Cream Blush in Lies</u></i> (it's more of a highlighter than a blush)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Hourglass Immaculate Foundation in Shell</u></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Powder Foundation in 120 Neutral Ivory</u></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Jordana Twist & Shine Balm Stain in Honey Love</u></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieu6H6E4YtUHSTJB7yDwbUlJOmrCWUpEpDS2Jt60OpEcFVTZCQfMOkqJ7DC4AFiQbXgZ5Vj0KTZK4FhDf6wm4psZNPC80uSwYiJtG_mOVg3FbvXlYbqk0jz6hlTRJTegsqqEipPW52u1uw/s1600/023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieu6H6E4YtUHSTJB7yDwbUlJOmrCWUpEpDS2Jt60OpEcFVTZCQfMOkqJ7DC4AFiQbXgZ5Vj0KTZK4FhDf6wm4psZNPC80uSwYiJtG_mOVg3FbvXlYbqk0jz6hlTRJTegsqqEipPW52u1uw/s640/023.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpS8as0KUX0cywnHB6x-02ZsTJH2tPY5zi6qsCDAilA8NdA_6Z8ThXVi41O0pE6dI1DJNBLpsFbP8SM-ZsoMKJVZ7xO1XIElCQYuUV1CTKem5_L3NCdKBlIP9V9O8VQ4keDQxGqZYX9SkF/s1600/025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpS8as0KUX0cywnHB6x-02ZsTJH2tPY5zi6qsCDAilA8NdA_6Z8ThXVi41O0pE6dI1DJNBLpsFbP8SM-ZsoMKJVZ7xO1XIElCQYuUV1CTKem5_L3NCdKBlIP9V9O8VQ4keDQxGqZYX9SkF/s640/025.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Glossy, icy pink sheen on the tops of my cheekbones, courtesy of <i><u>Lies</u></i>.

Now, I can apply it in a few seconds just like I can with any other blush. I think it just took some practice. I've been using the <i><u>e.l.f.

I don't even need to dust the brush off on the back of my hand before applying anymore!

Who's ready for the weekend??<br /><br />So today I'm bringing you all another "empties" video. I have to admit, I didn't think I'd have this much stuff to bring you all another video so soon after the last (you can check that video out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJFxpLDoElA" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed it). <br />I have to say, it's pretty satisfying to save up this stuff just to keep track of what I'm using up. While I really try to save my empties for these videos, I think there were probably a few things that still fell through the cracks like some shower stuff. I'm pretty sure I threw away some body wash not that long ago. Oh well, we'll live.<br />Like I said in the last video, these types of videos are so great because when you've used up a product entirely, you can be pretty sure that you're getting a good review. Plus, it's interesting for me to really consider whether or not the product is worth repurchasing. And there's just something so satisfying about using a product up completely. Is it just me? haha ;)<br /><br />So check out the video below for all the goods on my recently used-up products! Hope you guys enjoy it!<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0-GH457ucxM" width="560"></iframe></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Products I'll repurchase...</span></b></i></div><br /><div style="background: white; height: 162px; margin: 0px auto; width: 710px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="162px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=n_2671920,n_2832868,n_2832844,f55bcda7a7d334287a7c2d762c12966e,n_624842,5821c441d7b408aa8ef4be3b060a6f4d&rows=1&cols=6&brand=1&price=0&hover=0" width="710px"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cyqwxztw6" target="_blank">Proactiv+</a></div><br />So any products you keep repurchasing again and again?? Out of everything in this list, I've definitely gone through the LaVanila Healthy Deodorant, Mat Velvet+, and the Lashblast the most. I've probably gone through about three of the Paul Mitchell curling sprays. However, I feel like the Proactiv+ is going to become a staple of mine (I couldn't get the image to work on the darn widget...haha). I've repurchased the original Proactiv for years (far more than any other item on this list), but I'm only on my seconds of the new Proactiv+.<br /><br />Have an awesome weekend, y'all!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkz473WJR4OaUrqGbiUFF_y_wVGp5pjPbs5P6yTg2sd5jbhzNDZRsKb5hvBGeMa_BOn9tTp8YasoqnpM-JbrRRdGL5PP-YiWIgA65hhaJoYe-4zApL1eNgKb_EC-xcxBAsH4wYTsdnw/s1600/Sig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkz473WJR4OaUrqGbiUFF_y_wVGp5pjPbs5P6yTg2sd5jbhzNDZRsKb5hvBGeMa_BOn9tTp8YasoqnpM-JbrRRdGL5PP-YiWIgA65hhaJoYe-4zApL1eNgKb_EC-xcxBAsH4wYTsdnw/s400/Sig.jpg" height="80" width="275" /></a></div>post contains affiliatesAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817032833968594928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141637276325553982.post-2199474211411886992013-11-20T21:58:00.000-08:002013-12-01T19:54:58.832-08:00Made to Last.<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you have combination skin, or oily skin for that matter, it can often be a struggle finding ways to make your foundation last all day. My main problem area, as far as midday shine and foundation/concealer breakdown are concerned, is my t-zone, so when I found out I had a particularly long day of work scheduled last week, I made it into an opportunity to try something new.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQBZzTalcKn2RwYVjs_USvHS8iHzj4ZNyeseJo5LM_uArKF3E-PAH_IEPyr-qFuMtLi504HHH1WVh9oUUSudz0zLc5WG8AY__iA28AHAnbbU92S7tfPCbG714qNhnFBRajK87q0Z9hX8o/s1600/008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQBZzTalcKn2RwYVjs_USvHS8iHzj4ZNyeseJo5LM_uArKF3E-PAH_IEPyr-qFuMtLi504HHH1WVh9oUUSudz0zLc5WG8AY__iA28AHAnbbU92S7tfPCbG714qNhnFBRajK87q0Z9hX8o/s640/008.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I always use foundation primer on long days anyway, even if I'm planning on wearing a long-lasting foundation, like the <i><u><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/06/hourglass-immaculate-liquid-powder.html">Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation</a></u></i> (Shell). The velvety finish of the <i><u><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/04/primers-for-combination-skin.html">Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer</a></u></i>, in particular, creates the perfect base to allow Hourglass Immaculate's soft powder finish to glide on effortlessly. I usually get a solid 8 hours of wear time with this combo alone, but seeing as how I was looking for my makeup to last an extra few hours on this particular day, I knew my usual go-to pairing wouldn't cut it. At this point, I was faced with a conundrum - Do I go one step further and powder a powder-finish foundation? After all, how much is <i>too much?</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, yeah. I ended up reaching for the powder in the end - <i><u>Make Up For Ever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation</u></i> (#120 Neutral Ivory) to be exact. (<b><i>Tip:</i></b> Gently blot all over <i>after </i>applying your foundation, but <i>before </i>powdering, to soak up any excess oil from your moisturizer and foundation. This will help powder to apply more smoothly and wear longer.) I opted for just a light dusting of powder with a fluffy brush in an attempt to avoid cake-face, and as I brought the brush up to my face, I thought, <i>"This could be a huge mistake."</i> Thank goodness it wasn't. The powder set my foundation beautifully and added additional coverage to create the most flawless, natural, full-coverage complexion I've seen on myself in a very long time. And this may surprise you (it did me), but when I took a peek at my skin up-close in the mirror, it was smooth, poreless, and <i>perfect</i>. No cake in sight. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Intermittent restroom breaks throughout the day yielded reactions that became progressively more surprised each time I looked in the mirror and realized I <i>still </i>didn't need to blot. <i>Brilliant.</i> I took one last, good look at my makeup that night before taking it all off, and it actually pained me to see it go. So, does this mean that sometimes <i>more </i>is actually more?

For years, I had lusted over gorgeous open foyers with tall green banana leaf plants or fiddle leaf figs flanking the doorway, soaking up the sun. However, at our last house, it was a struggle keeping houseplants alive. We didn't get a whole lot of natural light. However, looking back, I probably would've just kept the regular windows open a bit and said to heck with privacy for the sake of my plants.<br /><br />But anyway, a big want on my list when we moved into our new house was some big pretty plants. I told the harrowing story of my fiddle leaf fig find of my life in <a href="http://makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com/2013/06/fiddle-leaf-fig-in-foyer.html" target="_blank">this</a> post months back. Long story short, I had drooled over them for months and thought they were probably only sold at specialty nurseries and the such. You know... somewhere fancy. They've been quite the trendy houseplant the past couple years. Just search "fiddle leaf fig" on Pinterest and see what I mean.<br /><br />So when I found one at Home Depot (they're pretty common finds around the HD), I thought I had struck gold.<br />Here's Frankie the day after he came home.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2FBGYoxfB2ZkYPHXS_-wRjaVFwoNke35OdIoBfS3NFRNaMFxjUNq3OkfcC-II14imgj9UD6SEg7BjsmwaBZ5gAnmoCqSmHL3nmT1I0BBGZMQ2nOhRnvM06gepnDkTvEcC8nHFI1Wtg/s1600/IMG_2813.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2FBGYoxfB2ZkYPHXS_-wRjaVFwoNke35OdIoBfS3NFRNaMFxjUNq3OkfcC-II14imgj9UD6SEg7BjsmwaBZ5gAnmoCqSmHL3nmT1I0BBGZMQ2nOhRnvM06gepnDkTvEcC8nHFI1Wtg/s640/IMG_2813.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div><br />Which brings me to my first tip. Always name your houseplants. I'm pretty one hundred on the fact that helps.<br /><br />That same week, I went back for a second.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqeppVyICzR3RGGttvinwUvzZHWaPwlEKD7EGQKbC4P4WKlAKI5CMdKDMi1RIL0Fj3i3YufQrUZqjTzaePTfXi1tTufVL2wAE4g-qRjrlFnih89826EX9PvoccESfuyG38kltaP4BUw/s1600/IMG_3828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqeppVyICzR3RGGttvinwUvzZHWaPwlEKD7EGQKbC4P4WKlAKI5CMdKDMi1RIL0Fj3i3YufQrUZqjTzaePTfXi1tTufVL2wAE4g-qRjrlFnih89826EX9PvoccESfuyG38kltaP4BUw/s640/IMG_3828.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div><br />He's a baby. His name is Fig. Original I know.<br /><br />So of course, I researched high and low about the exact way to care for these. Everything I found said that these don't like much water, but like a ton of sun. No problem. A ton of sun, they've got. It's also important to make sure the soil drains well. So both are potted in containers with drainage holes at the bottom. The one in the foyer is propped up on some little wooden blocks (that I need to pretty up in some way one of these days), so that it can drip into a little tray I have below it. The smaller one has a pot with a built-in little drainage well around the bottom.<br /><br />So fast forward a little over two weeks...<br /><br />Frankie started dropping leaves like crazy. I don't have a whole lot of photos of that time in between, because it's not that much of a difference, but you can really tell in the photo below...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9JIZlJ8PtspUp_MMyoXe3E8mfiwz0zw8r6ZI1r4pAWWBbCI-l_V7i_VqLtPXZY18Rfx9DjPfONCMXrd8zJtSsM-E_Y_81EnzS6-vMZIMw5m_l-K-yLKj1fLev1yYz7pdprw9LDQTLw/s1600/IMG_3868.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9JIZlJ8PtspUp_MMyoXe3E8mfiwz0zw8r6ZI1r4pAWWBbCI-l_V7i_VqLtPXZY18Rfx9DjPfONCMXrd8zJtSsM-E_Y_81EnzS6-vMZIMw5m_l-K-yLKj1fLev1yYz7pdprw9LDQTLw/s640/IMG_3868.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Ugh, poor Frankie, right? It's actually not as dramatic as it looks. If you notice (by the trunk) in the two photos of Frankie above, I had rotated him in the second photo. You're basically looking at the back. So that's why he doesn't look so lush. But poor ol' Frankie got pretty thin.<br /><br />I had mentioned in that previous post that I was concerned about him being placed in front of that air vent. So I moved him to the other side of the door and during that time, he was doing his worst. When I moved him back in front of the vent, he started improving. Ugh, who knows. Plants are finicky creatures.<br /><br />However, I know that the vent can't be great for him. So I'm thinking of moving him away from it again. It's messing with my mind.<br /><br />So weeks went by where I was keeping the soil fairly dry like all of the instructions I had read. Watering sparingly maybe once every week or two.<br /><br />But then I noticed little Fig was wilting at the top. So I gave him more water and he perked up. So the little guy really taught me exactly how much water they needed, and how often. Because with big Frankie, it was hard to notice wilt at the top because there are so many leaves. With the little one, I could really see when it needed water, about once every five days. So I started watering both of them on the same schedule.<br /><br />And what do you know, absolutely NO leaf drop, yellow leaves, or new brown spots in months! <br />I've even noticed maybe some new leaves developing near the tops of both plants.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZr5H4HCH-Z60Qchn4lVBbGr0TyPlJPkXCC59izuKhA3xukteaKQcB2bqxCXKpPSOQ8STg4lwGrKBlB_HMUuWWB4iIvlcOCwu6umQFZ-Qrd69Jqgx4jyT6F8VKWgoNDCWh1idAWKkaqw/s1600/IMG_5612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZr5H4HCH-Z60Qchn4lVBbGr0TyPlJPkXCC59izuKhA3xukteaKQcB2bqxCXKpPSOQ8STg4lwGrKBlB_HMUuWWB4iIvlcOCwu6umQFZ-Qrd69Jqgx4jyT6F8VKWgoNDCWh1idAWKkaqw/s640/IMG_5612.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><br /><br />When I say I water them, I <i>really </i>water them. For the little one, maybe like 1.5 cups? For the big one, maybe three. Seems like a lot, but it's been working like a charm.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Frankie is still not looking his best, but he's grown a lot taller, looking 100% better than when he was at his worst, and hopefully, he'll begin to fill in over the next few years. I'm imagining the day when he looks like <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/247768416973262515/" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />A girl can dream. <br /><br />But I'm still seriously so mad at myself for almost killing him these past several months. Caring for house plants just generally makes me nervous and turns me into a huge rule-follower. Turns out, you shouldn't always listen to all these hardcore plant rules you find online. Heck, not even mine. Watching your plants and giving them what they look like they need is usually the best bet.<br /><br />As for little Fig, he has really just improved since we got him. Growing a lot taller and only shedding two or three leaves early on that were touching the soil at the bottom that needed to go anyway.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSSRUYP5NCESKzm5RGW4vcKsYaisgyfyOA-knT5-cTKUZS2O3AuThEvmV3kB2jZNyLws9bZedIlW9INgkTyfuSQW4396lTsX8JRLDc_uchD4V4TJ_YwHCp6fpdY9LFuBQaMrarPn82Kw/s1600/IMG_5553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSSRUYP5NCESKzm5RGW4vcKsYaisgyfyOA-knT5-cTKUZS2O3AuThEvmV3kB2jZNyLws9bZedIlW9INgkTyfuSQW4396lTsX8JRLDc_uchD4V4TJ_YwHCp6fpdY9LFuBQaMrarPn82Kw/s640/IMG_5553.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He's actually hanging out in our guest bedroom for now.

I'm for sure not an expert by any means, but I'm thinking that mine respond best to <i>more </i>water and of course, a lot of sunlight, which they've always gotten. Unless you have a space that gets tons of sun throughout, don't even think about it. I hate to say that, but it's true. They need a ton of it. And my biggest suggestion is to make sure that they're in a pot that drains. <br /><br />The only other live plant we have is this orchid in the powder room. Brad brought me this guy one day after work a few months ago. He's the sweetest.<br />Brad, not the orchid.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH3WhfvJZPnajQPP49pPrgCfSUW6wIoN_LEro1pta10H7ARaZ3lTth0OAedvi1HsCc_dM4LQ2vmLrC3syItT2OIg2H6M3DOK-gTtpcMLilze8IZ5VJ0P72sVORZ0z0ylv1W6xlFRE7g/s1600/IMG_5418.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH3WhfvJZPnajQPP49pPrgCfSUW6wIoN_LEro1pta10H7ARaZ3lTth0OAedvi1HsCc_dM4LQ2vmLrC3syItT2OIg2H6M3DOK-gTtpcMLilze8IZ5VJ0P72sVORZ0z0ylv1W6xlFRE7g/s640/IMG_5418.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ohhh this powder room.

Makeup Look and OOTDSo last week I brought you two tutorials on everyday things: My current foundation routine (check that out <a href="http://makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com/2013/11/current-foundation-routine-long-wearing.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you missed it) and a tutorial on how I fill and shape my eye brows (yup, you can see that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WnD-k3c_yo" target="_blank">here</a> too). So to round it all out, I felt it only appropriate to do an updated tutorial on the full makeup look I've been wearing most lately. <br /><br />This look is one of my favorites because it's easy, not too fussy, and is appropriate to wear anywhere. It's one of those "go-to" looks for me that I can do easily without really thinking and works no matter what. I love it!<br /><br />I also love that it's also a bit different and not the typical more "natural" colors you'd think of most often for a more everyday look. The taupe-y purple makes it a bit different, but still just as wearable.<br /><br />So check out my video below and get ready with me!

Although both of those products are absolutely fantastic, I decided against re-purchasing them at this time in favor of trying something new. My picks? <i><u><a href="http://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/oskia-renaissance-cleansing-gel.html">Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel</a></u></i> and <i><u><a href="http://www.sephora.com/take-the-day-off-cleansing-balm-P126301">Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm</a></u></i>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjni5IFL5KEJBiu8RjrRpvWX2MmKWiW-BEtvSx02tR_8RrIZlmhyHxTNGPcTiE_FR_0vw3FtL4Cs4eJf5qprrVoQyD40rSBMj2QIm6DVEoQ6umrgy8kUIV9QEUOBdq1Pnt1ejGWe1C7Ptgd/s1600/010+cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjni5IFL5KEJBiu8RjrRpvWX2MmKWiW-BEtvSx02tR_8RrIZlmhyHxTNGPcTiE_FR_0vw3FtL4Cs4eJf5qprrVoQyD40rSBMj2QIm6DVEoQ6umrgy8kUIV9QEUOBdq1Pnt1ejGWe1C7Ptgd/s640/010+cropped.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I start off my mornings with one pump of the <i><u><a href="http://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/oskia-renaissance-cleansing-gel.html">Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel</a></u></i> (</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">£</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">32.50 for 5 oz/150 ml) massaged onto dry skin, transforming the gel into an oil-like cleanser, before gently removing it with a warm, damp washcloth. The Renaissance Cleansing Gel is packed with pumpkin enzyme to purge the skin of dead cells, vitamin A to promote elasticity, vitamins C and E to protect against free radicals, starflower oil to promote firmness and sulfur to detoxify and reduce inflammation. It leaves my skin looking brighter and feeling clean, soft and hydrated. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whereas I felt that the <u><i>Pai Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser</i></u> was more light and refreshing, this rose chamomile-scented cleanser is luxuriously warm and soothing, making it perfect for cold winter mornings. I mean, just take a look at that description: <i>"illuminating vitamin facial cleanser"</i> - who <i>wouldn't </i>want that?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The <i><u><a href="http://www.sephora.com/take-the-day-off-cleansing-balm-P126301">Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm</a></u></i> ($28.50 for 3.8 oz/125 ml) has been my new obsession as far as the nighttime skincare players are concerned. It has quite a solid consistency in the pot (seemingly very un-balm-like), but the second it is massaged onto dry skin, it melts into a silky, never greasy, oil consistency that breaks down all forms of makeup like nobody's business </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(my Stila waterproof mascara included)</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. Although Clinique claims the balm should be rinsed off, I <i>always </i>use a washcloth and never experience any residue left behind. Nevertheless, I still follow it up with a second cleanse for good measure (I've been loving the <i><u><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/11/my-go-to-cleanser-for-spotty-blemish.html">Osmia Organics Black Clay Facial Soap</a></u></i> lately).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Compared to the <i><u><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/2013/03/emma-hardie-amazing-face-natural-lift.html">Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm</a></u></i>, which I loved while it lasted (I went through two tubs!), I'm actually surprised to come to the conclusion that I think I might just enjoy Clinique's version more (and my wallet thanks me). Although I never had adverse reactions to the EH, Clinique's is free of fragrances and essential oils, making it perfect for even the most sensitive of skin types. It's also worth noting that both balms can be used around the eye area without causing any stinging or irritation. The Clinique balm could certainly be used for the second cleanse, as I did with the EH balm; however, I enjoy using it first simply because it is such an effective and fuss-free makeup remover. In my opinion, the EH feels more luxe simply due to its beautiful fragrance, but in all honesty, the Clinique is just as effective, and I actually prefer the consistency of it (not to mention the price, <i>ahem</i>) over the EH. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>The <u><i>Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel</i></u> (</b></span><b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">£</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">32.50) </span></b><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">can be purchased from <a href="http://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/oskia-renaissance-cleansing-gel.html">Cult Beauty</a>, and the <i><u>Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm</u></i> ($28.50) can be purchased from <a href="http://www.sephora.com/take-the-day-off-cleansing-balm-P126301">Sephora</a>.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817032833968594928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141637276325553982.post-26845964003813986742013-11-17T10:54:00.000-08:002013-12-01T19:54:58.863-08:00The Affordable Beauty Box: Beauty Box 5.<div style="text-align: right;"><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://willworkformakeup.blogspot.com/p/disclosure.html">This post contains a PR sample</a></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm not sure where I stand as far as monthly beauty boxes are concerned. On the one hand, I think it can be a great way for people to try out new brands and products that they might not otherwise be introduced to, and at a relatively minimal cost. On the other hand, if the selection of products in the box fails to impress, you could potentially be left with a box of duds hanging around your house gathering dust. When <u><i><a href="http://www.beautybox5.com/">Beauty Box 5</a></i></u> offered to send my one of their monthly beauty boxes, I decided to take a look around their site to see what they're all about and noticed that their boxes cost a mere $12 a month. Pretty reasonable, I thought, considering some other companies' beauty boxes run around $20-30 a month. So, I took them up on their offer.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u>Beauty Box 5</u></i> is a beauty box subscription service that allows subscribers to sample five products monthly that include a great mix of high-end, drugstore and eco-friendly products from brands such as BECCA, Ellis Faas and It's a 10, to name a few. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgacv9H0FHt0Sakp8-Kmkxm11Nu9dVx7DUudgQbS7M3lNoVkbBpjMr5iA9PBA9g1mG0qhHH9IG4VEXr3GG4xZPcDouHnvJMgn7m9ns8G-1r5Eb_TKIY-Db-XNStb-25L0JGmmvJmgqt5Guu/s1600/034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgacv9H0FHt0Sakp8-Kmkxm11Nu9dVx7DUudgQbS7M3lNoVkbBpjMr5iA9PBA9g1mG0qhHH9IG4VEXr3GG4xZPcDouHnvJMgn7m9ns8G-1r5Eb_TKIY-Db-XNStb-25L0JGmmvJmgqt5Guu/s640/034.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Upon opening my box, I was quite impressed as three of my five "samples" were actually full-size products.

It's a fairly heavily scented pale pink loose powder with shimmer. The powder itself is extremely light and finely milled and sets makeup beautifully and delicately without looking cakey or heavy. Once blended into the skin, the pink-toned powder has an overall translucent effect on the skin and would likely suit fair to light-medium skin tones best. I fear it could start to turn ashy on darker skin tones.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvl-BiDmP7xwVbXuGlYl5vhKNtWWrXIaGOjCseEKaCOoT7FCIFDFVC6AeyGVHphi8AeAq1UQvKS7sDGGCWobbtmdW9JdmsdhIuvcODaa2C7uM5i6nHcNVOIkMrjZp9TjFO2ZvEm97Iem3/s1600/028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvl-BiDmP7xwVbXuGlYl5vhKNtWWrXIaGOjCseEKaCOoT7FCIFDFVC6AeyGVHphi8AeAq1UQvKS7sDGGCWobbtmdW9JdmsdhIuvcODaa2C7uM5i6nHcNVOIkMrjZp9TjFO2ZvEm97Iem3/s640/028.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RYafo5-VYMK5koUPShNiNvB-v0NtExl4yGd2yv0brE_KwIyjp83CYJ4ToG6iJ8qU_pkYI_GG5fddC2prpeouWCre-HtibNVyLif-ikBCuY8a4_DgEX-JnTyHQNLVI0InTrP-EcCKDt-D/s1600/008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RYafo5-VYMK5koUPShNiNvB-v0NtExl4yGd2yv0brE_KwIyjp83CYJ4ToG6iJ8qU_pkYI_GG5fddC2prpeouWCre-HtibNVyLif-ikBCuY8a4_DgEX-JnTyHQNLVI0InTrP-EcCKDt-D/s640/008.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Swatched heavily</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although the shimmer is quite evident when looking at the powder in the pot, when applied lightly and blended well, I find that the shimmer allows the powder to provide the skin with a radiant, illuminated finish, rather than a sparkley or glittery one. In my opinion, the effect of the powder is much too sheer and subtle to serve as an effective highlighting powder, even when applied with a denser brush</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtF4ulLZ3vadJjH7jbU5FUexZDDlt8lhBWkCsKV3EqScqB8Ofvqi5spkD0b_wybWLnzfpC83kW-ZocO0x7grzM_1UWEUl8jqISf5btjRbtJSjbCFNOiTqVhDdP5FkH_RDozf0RsWbWvxCW/s1600/029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtF4ulLZ3vadJjH7jbU5FUexZDDlt8lhBWkCsKV3EqScqB8Ofvqi5spkD0b_wybWLnzfpC83kW-ZocO0x7grzM_1UWEUl8jqISf5btjRbtJSjbCFNOiTqVhDdP5FkH_RDozf0RsWbWvxCW/s640/029.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I like to use the <i><u>Java Rice Loose Powder</u></i> to set my makeup, and it also works brilliantly to set under-eye concealer due to its soft and light texture.

My Best Tips, Tutorial, & Fav ProductsSo today we're talkin' brows. Everything brows. From my favorite tried and true products, my best tips, and of course, my go-to brow tutorial. I love doing these every now and then because products change, methods change, and like everything else, it sort of just improves and evolves. So of course, I love sharing all the details with you all!<br />It's basically a big ol' brow video. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFW3yeJXm-GxFqAY4bu5anZ-K5ebYqWR2l7P4a8bwjC7rC3R2txPWbA7Qpn-PAE1n0PxuRRrdHUbC2T2PwG_vBQQGVLG7rIH0Fla6xVx6fn7pzxUCyZy2SOZOfNG1VBw8mxAdjzIiTOA/s1600/browss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFW3yeJXm-GxFqAY4bu5anZ-K5ebYqWR2l7P4a8bwjC7rC3R2txPWbA7Qpn-PAE1n0PxuRRrdHUbC2T2PwG_vBQQGVLG7rIH0Fla6xVx6fn7pzxUCyZy2SOZOfNG1VBw8mxAdjzIiTOA/s400/browss.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />What makes brows so interesting is that they are so unique from person to person. Different shapes, sizes, shades... SO different. You've probably heard this said a million times before, but they really do frame your face. Just like other facial features, everyone has different brows for a reason. They go with <i>your</i> face!<br /><br />So that's why brow tutorials can be tricky. I always say that you've got to work with what you've got. So while there is no exact right or wrong way to do them because everyone needs something a little different, you can hopefully use some of my tips I've learned over the years (mostly from my own trial and error), to help you get your most perfect brows!<br />Hope you love it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Products mentioned in video...</i></b></span></div><br /><div style="background: white; height: 162px; margin: 0px auto; width: 490px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="162px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=a290ba0a06447e9b6b9835cffcc01eb8,baad024024b760ff7460b0427382b31f,n_2452154,386c258922a6eae3348da10941e54d83&rows=1&cols=4&brand=1&price=0&hover=0" width="490px"></iframe></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://goo.gl/L99jNa" target="_blank">Sigma Beauty Brow Powder in Light</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://goo.gl/c2RaVy" target="_blank">Brow brushes</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">*Save on both of these with code NOV2013*</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5WnD-k3c_yo" width="560"></iframe></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">What I wore in this video...</span></b></i></div><br /><div style="background: white; height: 162px; margin: 0px auto; width: 380px;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="162px" scrolling="no" src="http://currentlyobsessed.me/api/v1/get_widget?wid=29&blog=makeupbytiffanyd&product_ids=n_817058,b9245b4bb006a24a81ec3eb3f13df8ca,0a6e7e09cf91e8547ba9921cbedba6ba&rows=1&cols=3&brand=1&price=0&hover=0" width="380px"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkz473WJR4OaUrqGbiUFF_y_wVGp5pjPbs5P6yTg2sd5jbhzNDZRsKb5hvBGeMa_BOn9tTp8YasoqnpM-JbrRRdGL5PP-YiWIgA65hhaJoYe-4zApL1eNgKb_EC-xcxBAsH4wYTsdnw/s1600/Sig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="80" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkz473WJR4OaUrqGbiUFF_y_wVGp5pjPbs5P6yTg2sd5jbhzNDZRsKb5hvBGeMa_BOn9tTp8YasoqnpM-JbrRRdGL5PP-YiWIgA65hhaJoYe-4zApL1eNgKb_EC-xcxBAsH4wYTsdnw/s400/Sig.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>post contains affiliatesAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01817032833968594928noreply@blogger.com0
