Do you have a FABU tip to share?? Don't hesitate to comment below!

I just love fall! Its my favorite time of year! I was just at a BEAUTIFUL wedding this past weekend at the stunning Jasmine Plantation in NEW KENT county (photos coming). I had an amazing time doing HAIR and Makeup for several bridesmaids, and of course makeup for the stunning bride.

Today I want to talk SKIN! I would like to to pull out your latest foundation and check it out! How old is it? Does it match your skin color? Is it perhaps, just maybe too BOLD? TOO thick? I have been wanting to talk about this for a while now. As we age, we tend to want to COVER. Spots, marks, and maybe the left over ruminants of our teenage acne. I am finding more and more that women are using heavier foundation to COVER it UP. The problem for me is that, often times, I feel that it is whats causing the IT! The more you use, the more you have to take off, the less your skin can breathe, and THUS the vicious cycle of BAD SKIN continues. I challenge to you today! Buy a small pack of facial wipes. Any Walmart or Target or drugstore will have them. Use the facial wipe cleaners (pre-moistened) for one even two weeks. Every evening, each morning. Use a light lotion should you need one after wards. THEN using concealer sparingly ONLY on the spots you want to cover and maybe a light powder on the rest. THIS IS an experiment. FAST forward...... two weeks....does your skin look healthier? I WANT to know! Shoot me and email!

TRUE Story

I remember walking into a new job this past spring and wanted to throw a scream into the air as one of my new co-workers walked
by me with just the prettiest smile and the worst case of winter lipstick I had ever seen. A few weeks later, I finally gained the confidence to gently tell her that she needed to change that lip stick and FAST! Of course this lead to a huge makeup makeover for the entire staff!

In getting your summer to fall beauty routine ready..... here are my tips:

1. HAVE a makeup party exchange with your girlfriends this fall. Often you will find that they have unopened products of makeup they have gotten as gifts for birthdays and so forth that they dont like or use! this will save you some money, and in return have a fun night out with the girls!

2. Check your bright pink at the door and rethink your lip colors. Trends for fall tend to be going with darker pinks and deep purples, frosty browns, and clear glosses.

3. Think about revamping your foundation. With the tan fading and winter looming, you may need to visit your local beauty counter and try new foundation colors.

4. Think about trying the all new tinted moisturizers this fall. Its a light weight  moisturizing foundation that still contains a SPF in most brands. Great for dry winter skin.

5. One of my personal favorites, Facial Wipes. you can buy them in all brands. Loaded with moisture Cleanser Wipes can remove make-up and grime very conveniently and quickly and it is specifically made for all skin types. Some of them are even loaded with skin craving nutrients!

6.  Nothing says beauty better than beautiful white TEETH! Buy some teeth white strips for that beauty bag and use them as needed! You will be shining in no time and your friends will wonder how your teeth got so white!

7. A Moisture mask once a week is essential in the winter. Moisture masks can help soothe dry and irritated skin and bring you back to life and keep your skin in tip top shape this winter.

8. A little Sally goes a long way. Salley Hansen spray on legs found at any drugstore can double duty as a quick spray on tan for parties and events this winter. With instant gratification, you can just spray it on for instant color. yea, its says "legs" on the can but it works GREAT on all skin parts and washes off in the shower after your event. GREAT idea to cover white winter skin and give you a all over glow! GREAT UNDER makeup as well!

9. USE bronzer, but use it sparingly. Often times we use bronzer double duty for blush, and more. Try using a lighter bronzer on the bridge of your nose around your temples and a light amount under your new pink blush to shade in under those cheek bones.

10. think PINK... or shades of. Stop using bronzers as blush! The orange in Bronzers make you look older and will especially look strange on winter white skin! Start experimenting with lighter and darker shades of pinks. Pinks can be sheer and can make your skin look youthful and fresh even in the winter months at any age!

BEAUTIFUL TEETH.....
Getting ready for your upcoming wedding can be a BIG job! With so much to remember and so much to do sometimes beauty routines can slip away into the sunset! But the most important thing on your Wedding day is look your best and with this you WILL feel your best! So during HOT TIP Mondays I will be listing one tip that will make getting ready for your big day easy! So you will look fabulous! You can use these tips in everyday life to give yourself the glow that you deserve everyday! GLOW ON!

HOT TIP: I think the first sign of a person that takes good care of themselves is to take a gander at their TEETH!  ORAL HEALTH is a biggie in my book and having white teeth is a MUST!! People often comment on my teeth and how "nice and white" they are. The secret? WHITE STRIPS. GET OUT and get yourself some WHITE STRIPS! Many people can get a whiter smile in just days. Here is tip # 2 to go with that...DON'T procrastinate about it! I often hear people say, ok, I will get my dentist to order refills for my  whitening trays or GET some trays at the Dentist. Well, thats real nice if you have your appointment coming up to see your dentist and your willing to get fitted for your mouth piece and so on and so fourth and basically -procrastinate. LADIES.... STRIPS are EASY! MAKE your life EASY at this point. You can visit your Dentist later and get all fit for your whitening trays AFTER your wedding. But in the mean time do yourself a very easy favor and just buy and use the over the counter white strips. You will be happy you did!
FYI: I have sensitive teeth, so I use mine a few times and then lay off a day or two and go again. I only use them sporadically to keep up with my teeth.  Every time I am feeling a little DIM, I just slap some strips on for a few days in a row and it gives me a great brush up!

It was a special morning as I attended Illuminate the workshop. It was a workshop designed around Wedding Business Professionals. Illuminate was put on by OFD. I met Meghan Ely a few months ago as I launched Faces by Joy. She is the precious lady that gave me a few tickets to see the Bridal Show this past July. As I arrived to beautiful Maymont park today, I had no idea what to expect? Just walking through Maymont is a special thing in and of itself!
Upon arriving I was promptly greeted and given a name tag. I also was excited to see huge rows of beautiful laid out breakfast goodies, coffee and tea. What a awesome spread!


The Speakers were FABULOUS and we were even given a Sweet TREAT half way through the presentation! YUMMY! The sponsors and food were just the best!

From Meghans Facebook page:

Thanks to all who may Illuminate such a success- Maymont for hosting, I.K. Catering- "Catering with Class" for feeding us, Petites Bouchees for being our sweet sponsor and Earl W Moore & Co., Accounting & Tax Service for being our speaker sponsor!

 

it was a morning well spent!
