Summer must have item of the week!

Finally I'm back in the swing of things after returning from my lengthy trips to L.A. and Las Vegas. As soon as I stepped off the plane in Jacksonville, FL, I was hit with the hot, humid Florida air. So, I'm thinking, what is a hot-weather must have item? Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes water-proof liner of course!

Available in oodles of different colors, Aqua Eyes is a waterproof liner pencil. It's highly pigmented with a unique formula that adheres to the eyelids and doesn't run or fade even under the most extreme conditions. Its fluid, creamy texture glides onto the skin and doesn't irritate the eye contour. Makeup artist icon Dany Sanz originally created this product for performers of water ballet.

Aqua Eyes are waterproof, smudge-proof, and fade-proof and can do double duty as a vibrant eyeshadow. Formulated to glide on effortlessly and withstand the most extreme conditions, it stays put on eyelids without melting for precise application and intense color throughout the day.

Make Up for the DIY (Do It Yourself) Bride

If you're a "Do It Yourself" kind of girl, I may venture to guess that your wedding is no exception.

Let me give you a few insights into creating a picture perfect bridal photo. There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself, if you're well-informed and excellent at applying your own makeup.

The highs and lows of a wedding budget

The "dirty" word: If you have ever planned a wedding or have been around someone planning a wedding, there is one single word that makes even the most level-headed bride cringe. Budget. There, I said it. Cut and dry. Now that it's out in the open, let's discuss exactly why that word brings out the inner bridezilla. To start off with, ask any number of brides what their budget is, and I guarantee you will get just as many answers. Budgets can range from under $2,000 on up and past $200,000. It doesn't mean that any amount is better than another. Every wedding has a budget because every couple draws the dollar line somewhere. A budget just defines what you have to spend. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. A bigger budget doesn't make any one bride better than another, nor any wedding less important. So in short, every bride is a budget bride no matter the dollar amount.

Here are a few tips to Winterize your skin. Start by switching your facial cleanser to one that is designed for sensitive skin.
