I have been meaning to talk about a GREAT mascara that all of my friends have recommended to me and I have been using for a while. THIS WEEK.... I see that it can also be combined with a BUDGET FIND! YIPEE! Maybelline "Falsies" mascara is all the rage and one of the hottest mascaras on the market! I have a few in my kit and always revert back to it when picking mascaras out of my kit. It just has something special. Its smoothly formulated, does not clump and glides on easy! and I also get mine in waterproof!

Week 3
I hope you are enjoying our 4 week countdown to being a fabulous Bridalicious BRIDE! Last week we began a 4 week count down on must do beauty ideas to get you ready for the big day. Now at 3 weeks, we have some more things to talk about!
3 weeks from the big day Skin Care:
Week 3 Skin Care
If you haven’t started the tips from last week, start now! You want to look your best on your special day and the first step to complexion perfection is a great skincare routine!
With the temperatures creeping into the 60’s & 70’s you may be tempted to spend some time soaking in a little Vitamin D. If so, be sure you use at least SPF 15. Nothing will ruin your pictures like unsightly sunburn!

| Night Time Renewal |
Do you have a problem with your makeup “disappearing” by the end of the day? If you so you are not alone, this is a very common problem. This is your skins way of telling you it is dehydrated. When your skin needs moisture, it starts taking from every source, including your makeup. The good news is there is a simple fix to this problem. Be sure to use a moisturizer every day prior to applying your foundation and a rich, quality night cream, like our Night Time Renewal Cream, to replenish the moisture. Your wedding day will be a long one, so help your makeup “stay put” all day long!

| Sugar Lip Scrub for moist lips! |
When you pucker up for the all-important first kiss of course you want your lips to be super soft! Our Sugar Lip Scrub and Vitamin E lip treatment are essential products in your makeup bag. Using the Lip Scrub a few times a week and applying the Vitamin E stick nightly will make a noticeable difference. You will never go back to chapped, dry lips!
If you are planning to have a makeup artist on your wedding day, be sure to set up a consultation, if you have not already. This is a great way to make sure you and your artist have the same vision for your wedding day makeup. You will also have a chance to make sure your skin doesn’t react to their products.
Week 3- the start of a beautiful SMILE.....
If you have been following along with our Bridal Beauty on a Budget segments, this is the week you will want to purchase your White Strips. You should NOT have to pay full price either! By now, you should have collected at least 1 White Strip coupon from the Sunday paper and may have been on the LOOK out for a great deal already! MOST of the drugstores also have a $10.00 off purchase i have noticed the past few weeks, and this week Kroger has E coupons you can load right on your card! You should be able to score a GREAT deal on those Whitestrips. Your goal this week is to just get to the store and buy your white strips. You will begin next Sunday using them!
Week 3 TEST SPRAY TAN TRIAL
I would say that 85% of the Brides that come to see me for a consult, plan to have a spray tan or tan before the wedding. While I am not a fan of tanning, I am a fan of spray tanning should you choose to do it. Spray Tan tips:
- Visit a local spray tan salon this very week!
- Start by going on Monday(tomorrow). I have found that often times salons offer deals or 1/2 price sprays on Mondays! Dont hesitate to call around and ask? You can save at least 1/2 the cost for your trial spray with just a little investigation.
- If you are planning to go, make sure to exfoliate really well in the shower before you leave. Put your hair up and head out for the salon.
- Most salons offer levels of shades. Shade 1=light; Shade 2=medium;shade 3=dark. The attendant at the salon should be able to advise you as to which shade would work best with your skin tone. But, I may suggest, stick with light to med. for your Wedding day. Just a hint of color would be your best choice, you really do not want to look like you just got back from Jamaica. You may be going there after the Wedding, but not before. :)
- Your tan should last you all week. Think about a few things while your enjoying your "new" golden bronze look. Does it smell funny? Does it look natural? Does it rub off on your clothing, How much comes off in the shower? Does your fiancee think it looks nice? Does it wear off well? These are very important factors, when you are considering doing it before your BIG Wedding Day. You will need to answer these questions to decide if you should get it done, and how long before the Wedding day? The day before? Two days before? It all depends on how it wears off and smells?
- Lastly, give your MAKEUP ARTIST a heads up about your Spray Tan! Let them know that you will be getting one, so that they can adjust foundations as needed. You may require a shade darker mix if you are darker than your original consult. :)
You should be continuing with your Hair Masque and extra special shampoo and conditioners. This week you may have noticed a nice change in your hair, with the special care you have been giving it. Continue on the same path. Tonight should be a deep conditioning treatment as we discussed last week.
If you are getting a trim, or a color, I would suggest that you would have already set up your salon appointment for a week from today for a trim and about 10 days from the big day for your color.
Week 3 -Your HANDS
If you can afford to get a manicure this week, I would GO FOR IT! A manicure is about 12 bucks. Yes, you are 3 weeks away, but if your anything like me, I have cuticles and don't keep up with my hands like I should. I went for a manicure 3 weeks ago, and I am in need again! If you go this week, you will get a chance to clean up your hands well in advance of the big day and really start getting your nails in shape. If you really want to save some money on a full set of nails, start this week on your manicure, and your nails may be in good enough shape to go eu natural for the Wedding day!! You can ultimately save $ money on getting your own nails french manicured for $12, rather than getting a $40.00 full set! MUCH CHEAPER and BETTER for your nails! As we start on Week 3, enjoy each day of preparation for your Wedding! Sometimes we get so focused on the future we forget to enjoy the present. Enjoy every little part of your time this week preparing, and you will ensure happiness daily!
Can you say Whirlwind WEEKEND with a BEAUTY twist! As you know I spent this weekend in what you might call, a "beauty time zone"! It was the 3rd annual Carolina International Pageant workshop when women from both North and South Carolina come and spend the day learning more about being a state titleholder. As I was there directing the whole kit and caboodle, I could not help but think of a brilliant idea for my FBJ blog following friends! I whipped OUT a paper and a pen and during workshop, had each of the State Titleholders AND Mrs. International herself, write a favorite beauty tip! I HAD to bring you back something!!! So as the day went on and the paper went around, I could not WAIT to see what they wrote!! As soon as I jumped in the car back to Richmond, I was in my purse pulling out my paper. So SURPRISE, here is something for YOU from my "beauty" TRIP!
BEAUTY TIPS from the Carolina International Pageant Titleholders and Mrs. International
1. Pink Highlighter: just below the brow bone gives you an instant wake up
