I have fallen in love with almost every Anastasia product I’ve tried.  I was sent a big package full of their products, and over the last several weeks I’ve been playing around with all of them.  So much fun!

One of the products that I’ve found myself using more than just about all of them, is Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel.  I avoided it for a while, because I couldn’t imagine putting something shimmery in my eyebrows.  But one day I tried it, and I absolutely LOVED it! 

It makes my eyebrows look like I’ve given them highlights!  It’s kind of hard to describe I guess, I’ll just tell you that I love it, and it will be a makeup staple of mine from now on!

For those with thin, sparse brows, this unique, botanical formula actually plumps the hair follicle, giving the appearance of fuller, thicker brows. The combination of cream and gel effortlessly defines and fills in brows while controlling and shaping without flaking or fading.

The non-greasy formula can easily be removed at night with a facial cleanser or makeup remover. Housed in a sleek, portable tube that allows for precise, no-mess application, Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel is perfect for instant brow touch-ups - anyplace, anytime, plus it’s the must-have tool for any beauty-savvy woman.

I have big eyes so when they are puffy or dark it takes over my whole face. Isomers pur for eyes is a lifesaver for me and has helped keep my eyes looking great even when I stay up a little too late or allergies leave my eyes puffy. I can just apply a few drops of the pur for eyes serum and in less then 20 minutes my eyes look great the puffiness is diminished. Since I started using this a few weeks ago my under eyes look much brighter and the dark circles have faded.

Fans of The Hills may be divided between Team Lauren and Team Heidi, but everyone concedes that Audrina Patridge has some pretty amazing eyes.  Allure Magazine asked her to share her lining and shadowing tricks - totally unscripted - or so we think.

My eyes are hazel, but sometimes they’ll look more brown, amber, or green.  When my hair is dark, it brings out the green. (My hair is naturally dirty blonde.)

I love black eyeliner.  I put it on the inner rims of my lash lines, top and bottom.  If I want a more dramatic look, I’ll go back over the top lash line again just a tiny bit to darken it.  If I mess up, I’ll just smudge the line with my finger and put eye shadow over it.  At night, I’ll switch to green, violet, or blue liner, and make it thick on the top and winged out at the ends.  And I always stick to pencil - lately I’ve been loving Maybelline because I never have to touch it up.

For shadow, I use M.A.C. All That Glitters as the base and a dark brown or maroon right in the crease.  And mascara’s a must.  Too Faced Lash Injection makes my lashes long and full.  When I go out, I add Benefit Gilded Highlighter on my brow bones.  It really makes your eyes stand out!

With a flick of the specially-designed “GIANT” wand lashes will be injected with indelible, weather-proof color. Substantial percentages of jojoba and vitamin E deeply condition lashes to prevent breakage and damage that can result in broken or sparse lashes. Easily removable with soap and warm water or eye make-up remover, this amazing mascara doesn’t dissolve and smudge like any ordinary mascara.

With the hot summer weather in Oregon I’ve been wearing flip flops non stop and as a result my feet were getting really dry and yucky. When I was cleaning my room this weekend I found a brand new tube of Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme in the back of my dresser. I was so happy it’s like finding money in a coat or pair of pants you haven’t worn in a while.

Back to my feet ugh! So the last two nights before bed I have slathered my feet with Coconut Foot Creme and put sucks on. I can’t believe the difference in just two nights my feet feel so soft and smooth and the rough sand paper feeling has disappeared. They also look better, the skin looks much healthier and hydrated. Great product at a great price!

Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme
Go nuts for incredibly soft feet.

How it Works
This pampering natural foot cream combines coconut oil, lanolin and vegetable glycerin to revive and rejuvenate even the driest, most neglected feet. There’s also a hint of natural rosemary and peppermint oils to refresh tired feet.
How to Use It

Apply liberally and allow the cream to fully absorb. For a luxurious way to treat your feet, soak feet in warm water for 10-15 minutes and rub gently with a pumice stone. Massage Coconut Foot Creme into feet, paying close attention to heels and calloused skin. Then cover your feet with cotton socks overnight to soothe and seal in moisture.
Featured Ingredient

Coconut Oil — The flesh of the coconut is rich in emollient fat and, when pressed, yields a white, sweetly-scented, super-moisturizing oil, which is a solid at room temperature but easily melts on the skin.

I rarely ever wear polish on my finger nails, I love how it looks but I hate that by sundown on the second day of wear I have major chip issues. When I was younger I would try all different brands and topcoats only to get chips or wear at the nail ends within a day or two.

Once I had kids I just gave up painting my finger nails, with the constant hand washing and cleaning it would be impossible to keep polish on my nails right? Wrong! After Zoya offered us a special MakeHerUp trio I decided to order some myself. I painted my toes and was happy enough but one color I had ordered (Casey) was dying to be on my fingers. So last Sunday I decided to get wild and crazy and paint my fingernails. Well here I am half way through Thursday and my polish still looks amazing, 5 days later!.

I am a Zoya convert they really do have the longest lasting nail polish if you have yet to try it don’t put it off. They just might make you want to paint your finger nails again.

Just when I think I have tried every great product out there I stumble upon on one that I can’t imagine living without. I recently tried some products from the Anastasia line and the standout for me was the Eye Lights Matte Pencil. Just run it under your eyebrow and voila like magic my eyes appeared more open and my eyebrows higher.

Even without makeup on Eye Lights opens up my eyes and makes a huge difference. Now my daily staple I don’t know how I lived before it.

Anastasia Eye Lights Matte

These versatile, moisturizing, cream-to-powder pencils create soft, matte highlights under brows, a smooth base for shadows, or subtle shadowing on its own.
