Dusk & Rubies
Everyone has heard the expression "fake it until you make it" and sometimes this is how I feel about my skin. I have some really great skin days where I wear nothing on my face, and then there are days when my skin seems to hate me. So today we are talking which products help you have that youthful, elastic, supple glow...am I asking for too much from my beauty products? We think not!

We love watching the Golden Globes, and this year was a treat with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as the talented and witty hostesses. But besides for the sheer entertainment factor of seeing all of our favorite actors and actresses sitting at tables together, we absolutely love love love the fashion. But, how can we get these red carpet inspired looks? We got you covered! Check out our take on one of our favorite looks from the night, Lizzy Caplan in Emilio Pucci.

Hey lovely! Here are some of our favorite new year essentials complete with my favorite running squeakers and a fresh new journal. Motivation comes in all forms, and sometimes I am motivated to hit the gym when I buy a new pair of pants, sneakers, or work out gear. I also love starting off a new year with a journal. There is something about a blank page that makes me feel inspired, and like anything can happen!

Ah the 90s- what a clever decade. Made most famous by sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends, Full House, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, and one of my favorites Frasier. Yes, I'm completely serious. Speaking of entertainment, when I think back on my youth, I remember having tons of fake pets to keep me constantly busy. There was my furbie, my multiple tamagotchies, pound puppies, and giga pets. Imagine if they made stickers to place on the back window of your mini van (if you owned a mini van) for all of those lessons in virtual responsibility! 

 I remember jamming and doing the running man to music blaring through my boombox. It wasn't a party unless TLC, Alanis Morisette, Color Me Badd, En Vogue, Barenaked Ladies, Kris Kros, 2pac, and Red Hot Chili Peppers were invited! While I agree this is a very eclectic mix of music, I want to remind you this was the 90s man. So as another year comes to a close, and our fashion trends come and go let us get a taste of what is to come...or repeat. The 90's grunge look is back, and here is how we styled it with a modern twist.

You know that feeling when the big boss is holding a meeting in the early morning and you're rushing to get there on time? Well I do! Here is a way to keep it looking flawless, and make a great impression, because you'll get to work early using these quick and easy make-up tips!
 

First: Apply Tarte's Maracuja Creaseless Concealer under eyes, and to problem spots with the pad of your pointer finger.

Second: With a powder brush apply Cover Girls's Trublend mineral formula to the outer areas of your face. (The areas opposite your T section)

Third: For easy contouring in seconds use e.l.f's Essential Clarifying Pressed powder in a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone. Use this as a highlighter: dust down your nose, cheek bones, and middle of your forehead, and chin.


First: Using e.l.f's blush brush apply Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12- hour blush (I used doll face) to the apples of your cheeks.

Second: Using e.l.f's blush brush apply Tarte's Amazonian Clay Bronzer under your cheek bones and blush, to your temples, to your jaw line, to the sides of your nose, to add contour and shading. (This step slims down face as well as gives your look perfect balance.


Step 1: Apply e.l.f's shimmering whip to the arches underneath your eyebrows, down your nose, in the inner corner of your eyes to brighten and add a little glimmer to your day.


Step 1: Using your eyelash curler curl your eyelashes by pumping your curler multiple times. (Short quick squeezes are the key to sky high lashes!)

Step 2: Brush on Tarte's Lights Camera Action 4 in 1 Mascara.

Step 3: After your mascara dries curl your eyelashes once more for extra height!



Step 5: Sephora makes this amazing hydrating lip balm called Sugar and it comes in different shades. All smell delicious, and all leave your lips soft and shiny.
