I have been a fan of Black Opal Cosmetics for many years. To start, I like my foundation to match the exact color of my skin tone. I also seek to wear a foundation that provides moisture and full coverage.
For the last two months, I have been using True Color Pore Perfecting Liquid Foundation. The liquid foundation’s amazing and my face has never looked better!
Now that we’re in the winter months, it’s time to change my moisturizer, foundation, and primer. Black Opal has created True Color Perfecting Primer which has extra emollient ingredients to hydrate the skin and refine the appearance of pores.
Check back here in two weeks, I will be testing the beauty product and sharing on my Youtube channel.

I wanted to share this article titled, “Stop Ruining Your Beautyblender By Following These Tips” written by Alexis Bennet from Instyle Magazine. For those who may not know, this particular makeup sponge is significant due to the shape, material, and application technique.
Although the blender’s considered to be much pricer than normal applicators, most makeup artist (and enthusiast) notice a difference after use. I also love the fact that it’s small enough to fit in my pocket or cosmetics bag. I’ve noticed several questions (on Instagram) asking how to properly care for the Beautyblender. Thankfully, Instyle Magazine explained the best tips for preventing holes and breakage.
Beautyblender creator Rea Anna Silva states, “First and foremost, it still amazes me how after so many years that people (even friends and family) still don’t know to wet it,” Silva exclaims. “You have to wet your Beautyblender to get it in its optimum condition for use and for the best makeup application.”
The brand has also expanded to cleansers, tools, and more accessories. Click on the article and watch more “blending magic” on January 21, 2016, the upcoming HSN special: Stop Ruining Your Beautyblender By Following These Tips

2016 Golden Globe winner, Lady Gaga, looked stunning with an old Hollywood glamour look on the red carpet of tonight’s Golden Globe Awards. Celebrity hairstylist, Frederic Aspiras, created these voluminous waves and curls with the help of KMS California products. Here, Frederic shares how to get Lady Gaga’s red carpet look.
1. Start with clean towel dried hair. First apply KMS California TAMEFRIZZ smoothing lotion (18.99) from root to tip and comb through for even distribution.
2. Next, spray KMS California ADDVOLUME volumizing spray (18.99) at the roots to create big voluminous hair.
3. Give a light mist of KMS California FREESHAPE quick blow dry spray (21.99) to reduce drying time and get a smooth fly-away free result to your blow dry.
4. Next, section the hair for blow drying. Using a medium round brush, drying with an up and around movement to get full volume.
5. Using a 1-inch curling iron, take 1-inch sections of hair and curl the hair all back and away from the face. Take a velcro roller and set each curl after you curl only using medium to small curlers. Allow rollers to set and cool. After, 15-20 minutes remove curlers.
6. To finish, brush the hair out with a sable bristle brush. Use KMS California HAIRPLAY playable texture ($20.50) to spray waves and curls in place but still maintain a soft bouncy look.
KMS California products are available at salons nationwide, please visit http://www.kmscalifornia.com/en-US/salon_finder.aspx to find a salon near you.

It’s a new year which means we have health and beauty goals. I am always an advocate for exercise and fitness but we can’t forget about the state of our dental hygiene. Luckily, Luster Premium White has some great products that will remove surface stains, enamel safe, and peroxide whitening.
I had the opportunity to review both the Smile Illuminator Instant Whitening Kit and Power White Deep Stain Eraser Fluoride Toothpaste. The products made my teeth look amazing! I truly noticed a difference (in my teeth) after three days of application.
The fluoride toothpaste directions state, “brush teeth thoroughly at least twice a day.” I would suggest taking this to the next level by flossing the teeth/gums prior to brushing. Also, I prefer the use of a spinning toothbrush for additional polish and stain removal. In regards to the instant whitening kit, please remember that each product in the box has specific steps to achieve results.
The last tip is to combine both of the products for an even brighter appearance. The best way to boost your confidence is with a great smile!

brandt® skincare is excited to announce its collaboration with Kristofer Buckle, a celebrity makeup artist beloved by Hollywood’s A-list. To kick off this exciting initiative, Buckle – one of the most sought after contour experts in the business – will star in a how-to video that highlights the newest trend in beauty: contouring without makeup. A game-changing technique made possible by dr. brandt skincare’s latest innovation, needles no more™ 3-D Filler Mask, it allows you to reshape, revolumize and fill facial contours, for a more youthful look.
THE INSPIRATION: Dr. Brandt believed that the convexities and concavities of the face – and the way light reflects off them – play a major role in revealing our true age. By changing the way light bounces off the face, needles no more™ 3-D Filler Mask makes it look naturally younger and more attractive. The formula melts into skin to enhance cheekbones and create dewy highlights. It’s what the art of contouring is all about, yet works without layers of product.
THE TECHNOLOGY: A unique, skin-plumping formula inspired by the latest injectable fillers, needles no more™ 3-D Filler Mask restores lost volume and fills in wrinkles and folds for a softer, lifted, more youthful look. Packed with Adipofill’in a revolutionary plumping complex, combined with hyaluronic acid (the key ingredient in dermal fillers, which absorbs its own weight in water to pull moisture into the skin), and rejuvenating peptides, the self-sculpting blend counteracts the classic downward droop that comes with age. Use it daily for a noticeably smoother, softer, more refreshed look — or anytime you want to lend your face youthful dimension and a healthy glow.
JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEW YEAR: Filled with invaluable contouring and anti-aging tips that anyone can use, the new Kristofer Buckle/dr. brandt skincare video will premiere on youtube and at drbrandtskincare.com. Now available at drbrandtskincare. com, needles no more™ 3-D Filler Mask will launch at Sephora in January 2016.
