Weekly Tip, Beauty News and Nail Color of the Week

Hello!

Sorry I didn't have a weekly tip last week. I was busy right before Valentine's Day and I didn't have time to write up a post but I'm back this week! As you all know brows are a huge thing right now. The trend is full defined brows that frame your face. But can't it be hard to keep those big gorgeous eyebrows from being over plucked? I thought so. Keep reading to learn a nifty trick that I learned of recently for that exact problem.

It only makes sense. Artist sketch out their art instead winging it, shouldn't we do the same with our brows? Ideally any brow product will work. Just fill them in like you usually do, when it's time to pluck those hairs find the odd balls. There's no more Mr. Tweezer Happy Hands. He's gone and your brows can finally grow out to the shape you want them to be. When I use this trick I prefer a pomade. It's easier to see what's past the eyebrow line when a nice crisp line is used as a guide but I'm sure powders will be fine too. Let me know how it works out for you! 

I love Sonia Kashuk brushes but I can't say much for her makeup. I'm not sure why but I haven't really tried anything from her makeup line. I always ooh and awe at the beautiful products she releases but I never pull the trigger when it comes to a stand off in the makeup isle. But... If there's a time to do it, then it's now. For the whole month of February Sonia Kashuk products are 20% off on Targets website. So if there's any brushes or makeup products you have been eyeing put them in your cart and push the check out button. 

I have been obsessed with Jamberry nail wraps. When I saw the "Love Spell" nail wraps on their website I instantly knew I had to have them for Valentine's Day. If their appealing to you hurry and pick them up! I believe their exclusive to the time around February. I could be wrong though.

Weekly Tip, Beauty News and Nail Color of the Week

Hello! It's that time of the week again. This weeks tip is great if you have dry skin. So be sure to check out the tip below. 

I actually have two topics for beauty news this week and unlike last week I actually have a new nail design this week. Hopefully I will have the Jamberry review up soon. I'm really glad that I'm done testing them out and I hate to spoil the surprise but I have to say I'm pleasantly pleased with Jamberry Nails. 

Like always, if you have any questions just leave a comment below! Thanks for reading!  

You know I have always suspected this but I didn't know if I was just crazy. But it did seem like everytime I used a brush my skin would look terrible. Maybe some of you are in my position and you know what I'm talking about. I have dry acne and when I where foundation it can tend to look like I have red dry circles all over my face. This is not a cute look and no one can pull it off. What makes it worse? Brushes. I know a lot of people use brushes and they're great. But if you have dry skin then it's a huge no no. Some brushes are ok. For instance, a stippling brush is appropriate for drier skin but honestly I recommend a Beauty Blender. 

Yes, Beauty Blenders can be pricey but they are a necessary investment if you struggle on a daily basis with dry skin. They provide extra moisture during application and they don't make dry spots apparent. If you don't want to fork out the money for a $20 sponge, Real Techniques makes a dupe for only $6.

There's a new beauty trend among celebrities! Probably everyone else, too! As you can see in the picture above Adelle has her fingernails manicured but what makes them special is the red polish underneath her nail. How cute is that? I always hated the look long nails have when the under part of the nail is showing. I really think this provides an extra polished look and I'm sure it will be a huge trend soon. What do you think? 

There's a new product by Pixi Beauty coming out next month! How exciting. This weeks post must be all about dry skin becuase this Glow Mist will be a miracle for dry skin. I don't have all of the details but just by looking at it I know I want it. In the picture it says it is a glow mist with Propolis and Argan Oil. It is nourishing, hydrating, and protective. I'm sure it will be great for setting makeup if you're after a dewy finish. Maybe it will be similar to Mac's Fix+? I hope it is! We need a good drugstore spray that freshens makeup but still provides skin benefits. I'm just hoping the price isn't more expensive than Mac's Fix+. Pixi isn't exactly known for their affordable prices. I'm expecting it to be around $15-30. 

 If you're interested in it, then follow Pixi by Petra on Instagram. I'm sure they'll post updates. Also keep a look out for it at your local Target. If you do spot it, PLEASE let me know! 

For this weeks nail color I used E.l.f Cosmetics nail polish in Smoky Brown and Jamberrys nail wrap in Diamond Dust Sparkle as my accent nail. The nail polish is really cute but I would recommended skipping it. It had extreme chipping and I ended up removing it. I think I'm just going to stick with Jamberry nail wraps for now on! I just can't handle chipped nails.

Weekly tip, Blog news and Beauty news

This one of those times when you want to read my weekly tip, news and nail color of the week posts. I have exciting blog news to share with you. Unfortunately, I don't have a nail color of the week. I'm still testing out Jamberry nails and I have the same design on as last week. So instead I decided to include more beauty news in this post(hence, the title). 

So if you want to find out this weeks news and beauty tip, then keep reading!

Weekly Tip

Is your mascara dried up? Maybe you don't have time to run to the store today or tomorrow? Put it in a cup of very hot water. It will loosen up the mascara and provide a couple more uses. I'm not saying you can do this to the mascara in your moms makeup bag from ten years ago. No, this works on mascara you have been using the pasts few months or one that you accidentally left open over night. I have tried it and it works wonders. I would recommend sitting it in a cup when you first wake up and by the time you're ready to apply your mascara the formula will be warm and creamy.

Beauty News 

I have more beauty news about E.l.f cosmetics. They just launched a new brush that is a multipurpose tool. It can be used for blending, highlighting, contouring and stippling. It sells for $10 and is available for purchase right now on Eyeslipsface.com. To me, it looks very similar to Becca Cosmetics multipurpose brush, which costs over $50. It also has a Nars vibe going on. I'm surprised about the price but I'm also intruiged. E.l.f has a great studio brush line and I have always had good luck with them. But I have to say $10 is a large jump on the price scale.

Blog News

My last blog news is about a new series from taylorpiebeauty.com. This series is about posts where I talk about my findings while going undercover. I have a few accounts on social media websites where no one knows I'm a beauty blogger. I ask questions and get feed back about various topics. I have always found people treat bloggers differently than people who are need. Some questions I will already know the answers but I'm curious to find out the honest answers I get from strangers. I really hope this series is successful. I think it will be very fun to do and write about! If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below.
