*Beauty Regimen*

I am linking up today with Beth at the stories of A 2 Z for Beauty Regimen, get your face on party. Check out her blog to read other's posts on this!


I will not, I repeat, not be posting a before and after picture. You just don't want to see that people! ;-) But I will post what I am loving these days beauty wise. Since the hubby was deployed for quite some time I let myself go. I didn't have the time to focus on me...between work, that long drive, two babies, laundry, house chores... I was just glad to get over 2 hrs sleep a night and get up brush my hair and teeth and muddle to the next day! I know, Wah, wah, wah! BUT now that he's back I have been very into my beauty regimen. (next I tackle the weight game, but for now, just the face and hair). Okay, so hair first. I am loving my new brush (purchased at ULTA) to use when I dry out my hair...

You pull out the little silver pin out at the end and turn it around and put it back in and wha-la...you have something to EASILY part/section your hair. =) LOVE IT!
Also I have rather OILY hair. I HAVE to wash every day or else! But, I found this stuff...

So what's great about it??? I save time every other day! I just use the salon grafix dry shampoo...and it's made based on YOUR hair color! Genious! Where has this been all my life?!!!
A few months back my mom bought me an instyler. I am loving it because my hair has just enough natural curl to be a mess. I mean, it has to be straightened or else it frizzes, but it isn't enough natural curl to wear it curly. Know what I mean?! Plus it holds NO curl so hot rollers just won't do.



My next product I use holds double purpose. A. It helps detangle that natural curl that is a super pain to brush when it's wet. B. It helps protect from use of the hot instyler. It's Chi Keratin Mist. Obviously I use this when my hair is still wet, so before the styling and only if it's just been washed.

Okay, so make up. I am big on eyes and mainly use lip gloss. I am not big on foundation. I have tried bare minerals, which I definately like better than any drug store mineral foundation that I found. But at the same time it didn't WOW me like the info-mercial said it would. I have to prime my eye lids before applying foundation or the eye makeup will NOT stay on. They are OILY! Weird, right?! Anyway, I prefer using beauty control shadow control cream. But if I'm out I will just use some concealer and it works ok.

I am really liking the maybeline line stylist eyeliner I recently bought. You can draw a thin or thick line with it depending on the look you are going for!

And for the mascara, you will not find one better than maybeline's define a lash lengthening:

For shadow I use lots of different kinds. I like browns and shimmery pinks OR greys and blacks depending on my shirt. Loreal is probably the brand I use most. My cheeks are naturally pink so next I slap on powder and lipgloss and I'm out the door! =) Geesh...what us girls do for beauty!
