CELEBRITY BEAUTY 101-SMOKY EYES

Does anyone ever really tire of seeing how celebrities get red carpet ready? I know I don’t but I am also a makeup junkie as you all know. As in the case of Katherine Heigl seen here wearing her royal blue smoky eyes with such great confidence. Is this look too much? I think not. That is the beauty behind creating a gorgeous smoky eye, it doesn’t always have to be done in black. Blues, pastels, purples, bronze and earth tones all do the job quite nicely.

When you choose a brighter hue, consider a more subtle smoky eye as seen here on Katherine. Less is more and your peepers will think so too! Make sure to apply the color along the upper and lower lashline and blend into the crease using a sweeping motion with your brush.

INSIDER TRICK: When using loose shimmer shadows to create this look make sure to tap off your brush before applying the color. This will ensure that you don’t add too much and allow you to build the color.

For anyone wishing to go the extra beauty mile, you can add a few individual lashes on the ends of each eye and finish with two generous coats of rich black mascara.

You are red carpet ready baby!

CLINIQUE IS THINKING PINK

As we wind down towards the end of the month let's not forget all of the amazing beauty companies, small and large who have contributed so much money to such an amazing cause like Breast Cancer Awareness. This is such a wonderful time to give back and help someone else in need.

This year Clinique is donating $10.00 from every limited-edition Dramatically Different Moisturizer

How awesome and generous is that! This is one moisturizer that is worth the money and millions of women who are fans will agree. Each bottle comes with a key chain complete with two silver charms, a Clinique "C" and Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon.

AMAZON BEAUTY INTRODUCES TWO NEW HAIR REMEDIES

For anyone who knows me, they know I am extremely picky about my hair care products so when the ladies over at Madeline Johnson Public Relations sent me a sample of each to review I was all over it.

Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner pays tribute to all of the beautiful women of the Amazon Rainforest. It is so natural, all the way down to the great smelling ingredients used to create these amazing products. Ingredients that have been used by Amazon native tribal women for thousands of years.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are free of chemical preservatives, and include key elements such as the Rahua nut which promotes long, healthy, strong hair. Each are made with rainforest grown ingredients, such as Rahua Elixir which repairs damaged hair and Palo Santo which imparts a beautiful aroma.

The result, my hair felt so beautiful, so shiny and my favorite part...so thick. I couldn't believe it was my hair. After many years of coloring my hair I have definitely noticed a big difference in the texture and weight, so imagine how happy I was to see how well my mane responded to these products.

Amazon Beauty was founded by Fabian Lliguin and his wife Anna Ayers. Both are very involved in protecting the Amazon Rainforest, working with native tribes and nationalities to help protect intellectual property rights and preserve the beauty of the planets largest living and breathing renewable natural resource.

To learn more about these truly amazing products and the two beautiful people behind them, visit their website Amazonbeautysecret.com or rahua.com. All products are available for purchase online.
