About Me:

Let's see.... I've been obsessed with beauty products since I was about 4 years old. Fragrance is a particular compulsion. At one point as a child I lined all my Strawberry Shortcake figurines around me to sniff each in succession. I turned to perfume as I aged.Right now I'm pregnant and all I can tolerate are clean fragrances. This is true for my makeup as well. Certain lipglosses (Stilla lipglaze & Cargo for instance) have had to be shelved due to the way they smell. Fortunately, I've still been able to wear my Tarte cheekstains (pregnant ladies sometimes want an extra glow!)

My Beauty Secret:

I guess my best beauty tip would have to be confindence. I know that's some trite bs you shrugged off from mom, but it really works. Walk tall and you have shed 5 pounds. Smile and nobody notices your hair has fallen flat. Look people in the eye and it doesn't matter if you accidently over-plucked one eyebrow. Use good manners and as you walk away, you'll hear "That was such a lovely young woman."

My Routine:

I'm pretty quick. I have my beauty routine pretty well down. I'd say, the longest part is either straightening or enhancing my curls. I guess about 45 minutes including a quick shower. This, of course, increases if I have a bout of morning sickness. I would LOVE a glass of wine, but lately I've just been swishing and spitting. Lol!

My Horror Story:

Hmmm. My mom actually let me start wearing makeup at a very young age, probably 5th or 6th grade. I was only allowed, however, to wear lip gloss (the Bonne Belle variety) clear mascara and peach blush. I never felt the urge to just go nuts. When I was 16 I died my hair jet black and my mom hated it, but I actually think it looked ok.

My Celebrity Look-a-like:

Fav Product #1

I can't live without this product...

Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline

This is one of the few fragrances I can tolerate right now. Everyone always remarks on how good I smell. If I have a good day, and don't get sick I'll change up my perfume. The following day I return to my standby, and people remark, "Oh, good. You smell like you again."

Fav Product #2

I wouldn't die, but I would suffer greatly without this product...

Redken hair products

I don't know who decided that pregnancy dictated great hair. Mine sucks! Most of the time it looks ok, but I need either curling or straightening serum. Also, I couldn't live without their shampoos and conditioners!

Fav Product #3

Without this product, I'd have to start drinking at noon ;-)

tie: Tarte cheekstains and mascara

Without both I look dead. I can deal without lipgloss or eyeliner, but I must must MUST have my "Lights, Camera, Lashes" mascara and Cheekstain in "Tipsy." I love that all their ingredients are listed so I can continue to wear them. I've had to shelve so many face creams and even lip products because they have "organic" things such as arnica, ect. Big no no for the bambino!
