Wanna learn to do makeup? I have something for you..........

One of my favorite makeup artist has come out with a dvd. That's right, Mr. Sam Fine. This man's makeup brushes have graced the faces of Iman, Monique, Brandy, Monica, Vanessa Williams, Deborah Cox etc....
I have seen total transformations take place as he works his magic. The dvd is entitled Fine Beauty. He is a gifted, humble artist and I adore him.
Sidenote-He was giving away an airbrush system and guess who he chose to have it? ME! Yes ma'am! AND he even autographed some items and sent that as well. He really made my day. Ok, so without further ado.... The dvd is available for purchase through Amazon.com.
I have the dvd and I can tell you that it is definately worth the purchase. I learned so much. There are four different models of four different skin tones.


Dry Lips

Who hasn't been plagued by crusty lips? I know I have. Now that Spring is here, why not treat your lips to some exfoliation and moisture.

My favorite product to do that is the Mary Kay Satin Lips set. I am telling you there is nothing like it. I have been using this product for about five years and it blows me away every time. My youngest son used to have some of the dryest lips I've seen BUT I incorporated this product and it has literally turned his lips around. Here is what Mary Kay says about this product:

Satin Lips® Set (Mask & Balm)

Buff away dry skin with Satin Lips® Lip Mask (.3 oz. net wt.), then moisturize with Satin Lips® Lip Balm (.3 oz. net wt.) to keep lips soft.
