Beauty And The Beach

Summer officially started yesterday and now is the time to follow a few basic guidelines for looking your best!
Top Ten Summer Glam Tips:

• Your best feature is always attitude. Smile, be positive and feel confident in your beauty!

• Choose clothing that accentuates YOUR best assets, not magnifies the worst.

• Acrylic nails are not haute. Short, manicured nails are much prettier.

• Spend less on trends and more on basic fashion staples.

• Either go w/out toe nail polish or keep the polish fresh.

• When it comes to eyebrows, keep it moderate. Not too bushy, but not pencil thin. And stay away from the Sharpie marker!

• NEVER use skin care products that contain mineral oil.

• GRADUALLY build your faux summer tan to avoid the Miami Vice look

• Exfoliate BEFORE applying sunless tanner.

• Pick your best facial feature to emphasize. Those who emphasize every feature end up looking like Tammy Faye.

GNO w/ Maybelline

My high school girlfiends and I went out Saturday night to celebrate two of their birthdays. What better time to complete my first task as the CA Glambassador for Glamour Magazine?? Here we are at Target, in the Maybelline aisle:

A Glam GNO with Target & Maybelline

I got my official Glambassador package in the mail yesterday and looked like such a dork, jumping around like a giddy Child on Christmas. I couldn't help it though. How exciting is it to be named an ambassador for Glamour Magazine? It is what I call "pee pants" exciting. Glamour is the very first fashion magazine I regularly read. The publication turns 70 this year and I am so proud to be working with them!
My first assignment is to give a $5 Target gift card to five friends of my choosing. Since I'm going out with my long time friends tonight, they will each get a gift card. Then, we have to go to Target, pick out a Maybelline product and buy it with the card. I'm going to get it all on my FlipCam and put it up here. Then, we are all going out for two of my friends' birthdays. It should be a lot of fun and I can't wait to go make up shopping with my childhood friends!
If you had a gift card, what one cosmetic item would you buy?
