How do you tame your brows?

So, lately I’ve been all about my eyebrows.  Typically I get them threaded and I think the eyebrows really frame the face.  You could be wearing not a stitch of makeup and still look presentable.  And it really makes a difference if you are wearing makeup and your brows are done.  I’m not talking highly manicured, just a little grooming is more than enough.  I’ve been on the lookout for brow products that complete the look.

Anyway, I recently made a little haul of NYX products on beautyjoint.com.  I had never tried this site before, but I saw that a few bloggers had good experiences with them.  Plus the fact, they were cheaper than buying off of the NYX website.  And shipping was $1, so…..

I wanted to try the NYX Eyebrow Shaper for a while now.  Sometimes I just want to hold my brows in place, no filling in, no colour.

Hey!!!

It’s hot in NYC and I love it!!! When the weather gets hot and humid, you need to keep your makeup simple and long lasting.

Here are a few of my favourite items that I think are important and can withstand the summer heat!

Sunscreen

You really should wear sunscreen everyday of the year, but during the summer months when the sun’s rays are at their strongest, you need something to protect your skin from premature aging and sun damage.  Also, don’t forget to reapply often if you are going to be outdoors for long periods or perspiring.  I switch between a regular moisturizer with SPF and a tinted moisturizer with SPF.  Doesn’t matter what you use, just protect your skin!!!

M.A.C. Collection: Semi Precious

Typically, M.A.C. brings out a couple of large collections during the summer and one of them usually includes a mineralized collection.  For the newbies, mineralized makeup usually contains natural minerals in a powdered form and may be baked into a solid form.  It is touted as being better for the skin and there are less additives and binders that hold the particles together.  These products can be used both dry and wet which is different from typical pressed powder products.

Here is some information about M.A.C.’s newly released Semi Precious collection.  It is available from July 7 in the US and Canada at M.A.C. stores, counters and online.  Available internationally later on in July.

The Makeup Show NYC 2011: The Big Show!!

Finally my last post on The Makeup Show! I’ve waited for this all year and it did not disappoint! The biggest show ever, now occupied 2 floors of the Metropolitan Pavilion! I was a little overwhelmed.  More vendors than before and the main theme of the event centred around education of the artist on new techniques, product lines, marketing yourself etc.  One of the best things were the PRO Pods, which allowed experts to connect one-on-one artists to exchange ideas.

I spent the day attending as many workshops that I could and I also did a little bit of shopping (of course!!!).  Met some new people, caught up with some old friends and had an amazing time!!!

Enough talk! Here are the pictures!!! And again, if we took pictures together, tag me or let me know!!!

Enjoy!

NARS Cosmetics made their TMS debut this year and it was one of the first booths that I visited.
