De's loving Urban Decay Eyelash Primer Potion

Photobucket

I recently got the chance to try Urban Decay’s Eyelash Primer Potion, and I’m telling you, this is a must have in every hot mama’s beauty arsenal. This product took a few of my ehhh mascaras to VaVa Voom! I’m loving that this is paraben free, and contains wheat proteins and silk to give my lashes some muscle. To truly experiment with the primer, I only used it on my right lashes, and didn’t use it on the other. After applying my mascara to the eye without it, my lashes looked pretty good. However, the eyelashes with it, looked so much longer, so full of volume, and just really different. No clumping at all, just beautiful. I haven’t been impressed with a product like this in some time, and it will be staying in my makeup bag for a while.

Have you tried Urban decay's Eyelash primer Potion?

Do you love it?

Hugs,

Negate the Negativity From Your Life ASAP

Photobucket
How was your holiday weekend? Mind was so amazing. I cooked, ate, saw two movies (Ninja assasins, and 2012) and the most important thing I did was spend so much time with family and friends. I had a great time, and I hope you did too. But this weekend was not just about having fun, it was also about learning a valuable lesson. I have a friend Maria (her names been changed) who I’ve known forever. She’s someone that I don’t see often, but I tend to communicate a lot with through e-mail. Anyway, yesterday was a glorious day in the city so I decided to spend some time with her. We met at the Starbucks across the street from my apartment, and from the moment I saw her, I felt some vibes-and they weren’t good ones. The first thing she did was stare me up and down, comment that I’d gained some weight, and asked me when I was going to dye my hair. (How’s that for a greeting? ) I was a little put off but she’s a friend (or so I thought) and I let it go. But, after I ordered my 5 pump chai, soy latte, and I actually sat down with her, and started to ask her what was going on with her life, and all she kept doing was making weird remarks to me such as “How can you afford your apartment?” What do you plan to do with your life if your dream doesn’t come true? You wasted so much money on your degree and you’re not doing anything with it.” I started realizing something wasn't right.

Photobucket

After being with this girl for 20 minutes, my positive energy began to wane, and I felt almost as if I was being sucked in by so much negative energy that I couldn’t breath, and positive DE all of a sudden became negative De. Instead of smiling, I was frowning, and feeling angry, and started questioning myself and just getting annoyed.
Luckily, I realized what was happening, and quickly excused myself and went home. As I walked back home, I thought back to our friendship and realized that it had always been me who had been positive around Maria. It was always me, who had encouraged her, and been happy for her, and she had always been my biggest naysayer. At the time, I had said that maybe it was her just trying to be realistic, but it wasn’t. It was her always being so darn negative. I also realized that when I saw her, she had not said one nice thing to me, and even in the past every time I had seen her, she hadn’t said a nice thing to me either. She was always so negative. So last night, I did something I rarely do. I deleted her # out of my phone book, and out of my life. Negative people are toxic. When you start listening them too much, they can truly take over your spirit, and you can become negative as well, no matter how positive you are. Misery loves Company, always remember that. When someone is too negative, realize it, and wish them the best but move on with your own life and eliminate them from yours. It’s important not only for your success but also for your health. After I deleted her number from my phone, a sudden feeling of calmness and relief came over me, and it was then that I knew I had made the right decision.

What are some experiences you have with negative people?

Did you eliminate them from your life?

De's loving Mario Russo Miracle Styling Creme

Photobucket

So as you guys know, I’m addicted to TJ Maxx (well the one that just opened around my house.) I recently bought this Mario Russo Miracle Styling Crème for $3.99 (although it currently retails for $24.99.) All these amazing deals! Anyway, this stuff is fabulous. I applied it right before I started blow-drying my hair. It contains olive oil, aloe, and vitamin E three great ingredients for the hair. This is a pretty thick consistency, so you only need a small amount. After drying, I was left with super shiny, frizz free, and lustrous hair. I barely had cowlicks (which never happens when I blow dry my hair.) My hair looked absolutely beautiful!


Have you tried Mario Russo Miracle Styling Creme?

Are you addicted to TJ Maxx like me?

SK!n Probiotic Masque & TJ Maxx Obsession!

Photobucket

So a new TJ Maxx recently opened in my neighborhood. I’ve never really been a TJ Maxx shopper because every time I went it seems I would be searching for hours for things. The stores are usually a mess, and the beauty products that they contain look like they have been opened or the boxes are leaking. Well the new TJ Maxx around my area is nothing like that! The store is immaculate, and all of their beauty products are the latest and greatest, and I can’t believe how inexpensive they are priced. I think the people that are pricing the stuff are on something, but hey, I’m not complaining. Check this out. I got this Amatokin Serum for $15.00. Right now this retails for $150.00. I’ll review it in about a month.

Anyway, last week, I picked this masque up

Photobucket

which currently retails for $45.00. Look at the price here . However, at TJ Maxx, I paid $5.99 for this and it’s the best $5.99 I’ve ever spent. The masque is loaded with probiotics.-probiotics are basically good bacteria that regulate your body’s candida (excessive candida is responsible for many issues such as acne & yeast infections) Sk1n Probiotic systems has found a way to package probiotics so you can apply topically. All of the sk1n products are designed to offer your skin benefits similar to the soothing qualities of milk, supplying nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, B2 and B12, high-quality proteins and folic acid directly to the skin. Anyway, enough about the logistics, my skin loves this stuff. After applying this, my pores are way way less noticeable. My skin is super smooth, and not tight at all, and my little acne zits are completely dried. I am obsessed with this masque, and I'm also obsessed with this new TJ Maxx. I’m heading there again today to see what else I can find before Black Friday.

Have you ever heard of this brand?

Do you shop at TJ Maxx?

Smashbox is one of my absolute favorite makeup lines, and I had to let you know about their holiday initiative. Their Smashbox Wish collection includes amazing deals on some of their items. Like their Wish for the Perfect Pout which normally would retail for $96.00 but you get for $29.00. It includes a limited edition set of Smashboxe’s six top selling lipglosses,

or their Wish for a Flawless Complexion which includes their very popular Photofinish Foundation Primer (full size) and a travel size one, all for $39.00 (normally $52.00). But, what makes this collection super special is that for every Wish Collection sold, Smashbox will donate $1.00 to the Children’s Miracle Network, a non profit organization that provides medical care, life-saving research, and on-going education to sick and injured children. Not only are you getting a deal, but you’re also contributing to a great cause. This is the perfect time during the holidays to give back.

What are you doing to give back?

Cleanse Your Skin with Weleda

How was your weekend loves? Mine was fun. Hung out with family and friends which is the most important thing. Anyway, let's talk beauty.
Mommy is huge fan of Weleda skin care products. So when I was sent their Almond Cleanser to try, I was excited. (Mommy has beautiful skin.) My skin care regime is very important to me. I have to be so careful with what I put on my skin because the slightest irritation leads to zits and dark marks. A good skin care regime always begins with a great cleanser. I hate cleansers that leave my skin irritated and tight after washing. After massaging this on my face, I wash with lukewarm water. The results are super cleansed skin, but also silky smooth skin. No tightness at all. My foundation application is a dream.This contains almond oil which is tolerated by most skin types and it’s free of perfumes, essential oils and artifical cleansing agents.

Have you tried Weleda's products?

KEEP YOUR HAIR SHINY

Besides length, I think one of the biggest indicators of healthy hair is how shiny and lustrous it is. Here are some tips that I do to keep my hair shiny. Also, I'd like to add taking essential fatty acids will help with shine too, and decreasing use of alchohol based products will as well. Massage and Coconut Oil on hair works wonders too. I'd also like to say a disclaimer about this video. I was exhausted when I was doing it. I had just gotten home from a girls night out, and it was a little late. lol

If you don't want to watch the whole video, here are some tips.

1) Don't wash your hair more than twice a week
2) No sulfates
3) Sleep on a silk Pillow
4) Don't Rub Your Hair Dry With a Towel.

I need new background music for my vids. If you have any recs, please e-mail them over.

Share your tips on how you keep your hair shiny too.



Thanks for checking this out.

5 DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS THAT COULD BE SOLD IN SEPHORA

Drugstore products are no longer like they used to be. The quality has improved so much, and many of these products could be sold in high-end stores. So here’s our second installment of 5 drugstore products that could be sold in Sephora.

1) New Maybelline’s Superskin 24 hour Foundation
Photobucket

This foundation does really last 24 hours. How do I Know? One day after coming home from work, the last thing I was going to do was wash my makeup off. (I know, gross, but I worked 16 hours.) I woke up the next morning and it looked like I had just applied the foundation. My skin still looked flawless! My shade is caramel, an exact match to my skin. It’s gorgeous rich tan that doesn’t give me the fake made-up look, doesn’t leave my face greasy, doesn’t rub off on my clothes and just looks terrific. And it’s only $12.99


2) Milani 24 Hour Intense Eyeliner
Photobucket
I love this! It's claim, is that it last 24 hours. Does it? Sure does (I had this on that night I slept with my makeup on.) I use the blackest black and It applies like a dream and it doesn't smudge. DE loves this!

3) Maybelline Expert Wear Blush (New Formula) Potpourri
Photobucket

The first thing I noticed about this blush was how it looked a lot like my Nars Outlaw minus the shimmer. I applied Nars Outlaw to one cheek and this blush to another. On my face the colors were almost identical except Nars Outlaw contained more sparkles (and cost twenty bucks more.) The staying power of this was all day, and it left me with such a beautiful pink flush, I'm loving it and for $4.99 you should too.

4) Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara

Photobucket
Up until recently I hadn’t even tried many Rimmel products, but lately I’m noticing how much I like them. I really love their Glam eyes mascara. It leaves my lashes incredibly long, and it didn’t clump even after I applied two coats. And it’s so affordable.

5) Sally Hansen InstaDri Polish

Photobucket

I’m currently wearing Sally Hansen’s polish in Violet Voom. A gorgeous shimmery purple color. But here’s the thing, I’ve been rocking it for three days and it hasn’t chipped yet. These colors last super long, the shades are fierce, and they are so affordable. The only tricky thing about this is the application The brush is pretty thick, but once you master it, you’re good to go!

Hirsana Capsules & Giveaway to 5 Readers

Photobucket


As you guys know I’m all for internal beauty. Yeah I use topical products but it’s all about what you put in your body. As you get older, believe me, the years of smoking, drinking, and eating garbage will start to show up on your beautiful face. Recently I was introduced to Hirsana Millet Oil Capsules. Apparently Millet oil is known for it’s beauty benefits, and it took a swiss organic company twelve years to develop these pills. The capsules are loaded with millet oil which is rich in all of these ingredients:
• Essential Fatty Acids: Strengthen the skin’s barrier and regulate moisture content
• Vitamin E: serves as an antioxidant and protects against free radicals
• Vitamin B6: boosts metabolism
• Thiamin: promotes normal nervous system function
• Riboflavin: supports the formation of blood cells
• Pantothenic Acid: regulates the metabolic process for energy recovery
• Biotin: plays an important role in metabolic processes
• Zinc: supports the buildup of protein produced within the body

These ingredients are very important for improving your skin and hair health. You’re supposed to take two a day, but after three months one is enough. Anyway, I’m giving away 5 boxes of this to 5 lucky winners. Just send an e-mail to beautylogicblog@yahoo.com with the subject being “DE, I’m all for internal beauty”. Winner gets announced on Friday.

DE'S LOVING LORAC SECRETS OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET KIT

Photobucket

I rarely if ever buy makeup kits. Usually there’s something in there, that won’t suit me, either the blush may be too light or the lip gloss all wrong, but recently I got the chance to try Lorac’s Secret of a Hollywood Starlet kit, and I can honestly say, everything in there, from the blush to the gloss is beautiful and suited me perfectly. This collection was designed by Carol Shaw (creater of Lorac) and she picked her personal favorites from her collection to help you feel like a star. But, it also comes with a chic purple clutch, that I actually used on Saturday for a night out with my girlfriends.

The gorgeous set included the Starry Eyed Baked Eyshadow Trio, which looks stunning on brown eyes. The set contains a gorgeous pink pearl color, a beautiful light plum color, and the last shade is a stunning dark purple. I am loving this!

Photobucket

The Baked Matte Satin Blush in velvet rose is a gorgeous shimmery pink, that looks so beautiful on bronzed skin.
Photobucket

The Lorac Lots Lash Fiber Mascara In Black which really does elongate my lashes and make them pop.
Photobucket

And My favorite which is the gorgeous Liquid lipstick in Glam. It’s a beautiful rose pink with a gorgeous shimmer.
Photobucket

All of this in a VERY CHIC purple clutch for $42.00. YES I SAID ONLY $42.00. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? This is not only a deal, it’s a steal.

If you’re not great with makeup, it comes with a face chart showing you where and how you can apply each and every product.

I'm loving this!

The Man's Corner

Alright here’s our second installment of the Man’s Corner where Mr. DE recommends some products for your man. Mr DE is prone to breakouts. He works a very high octane job and works very hard. When we first met, his skin wasn’t in great condition. He’s a caramel colored man, and he absolutely hates when he breaks out because it leaves him with those horrid dark marks that take forever to go away. So he’s about prevention! What does he absolutely swear by that has changed his skin. (FYI I recommended ths to him when we were first dating, lol)

Photobucket

It’s Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil. He uses a cotton ball to apply this at night. He dilutes it with water because it is strong stuff and then he applies all over his face. It smells like death. I make him stays in the other room for about 10 minutes so the smell can subside, before he comes to bed because the smell is way too strong for me, but his skin is clear, and gorgeous and he rarely breaks out.

He loves this stuff!

Hugs,

DE
