You Better Work! My Fave Beauty Products

I like beauty products... A LOT. I am always on the lookout for the new latest and greatest product out there. Moisturizers, shampoos, lip gloss, tweezers. You name it, I've investigated it. Although my hunt is far from over, I have found some key pieces for my beauty regime and I just had to share.

BOSCIA BB CREAM
I found this BB Cream about a year ago when a sample was thrown into my Sephora
sample bag and it was love at first try. If I had to choose one makeup product to take
on a deserted island, this bad boy would be it. It is amazing!

RESCUE BEAUTY BLACK RUSSIAN NAIL POLISH
This polish is perfect for winter. Both edgy and festive. I just ordered
a new bottle yesterday and am not so patiently waiting for it to arrive.

ORIBE DRY TEXTURIZING SPRAY

WOW! I have fine hair. It's been a huge issue for me since home perms went

out of style in middle school (which I'm thinking about bringing back). No matter

what the style, cut, whatever, I just can never get the fullness and texture in my hair.

Until now. It's pricey but worth every penny.

KIEHL'S BLUE HERBAL GEL CLEANSER

I used to think I would never find a face wash that I loved. Thank you

Kiehl's for proving me wrong. The Blue Gel Cleanser is great with my

oily skin and it feels like a burst of energy on your face.

SEPHORA WATERPROOF JUMBO LINER
So many colors to choose from and Sephora keeps adding more. I have
5 colors and use them on an almost daily basis. I know it's supposed to be
used as an eyeliner, but sometimes I layer it up to create an eyeshadow look.
The best part is that it stays without smearing or smudging.

It's Halloween Up In Here!

That's right ladies and gentlemen. Halloween is here again and with it the 3 "C's". Candy, Costumes and Crafts. 

I'm not what one would call a gifted Halloween costume idea comer upper with. Don't get me wrong, when I get an idea, it is done to perfection (evidenced by my spot on Amy Winehouse costume from a few years ago), it's just so difficult to come up with that unique and original idea. 

Candy, yes please. Candy Corn, mini Snickers, Sweet Tarts, it's all just too good to be true. 

Then comes my expertise, Crafts. With October, comes my marathon crafting that doesn't end until Christmas. So many holidays to make fun things for in just two short months. I've decided to share some of my favorites that I've seen this year. I'll also be showing off a few last minute ideas on AM Northwest Halloween morning. Happy crafting!

1. PUMPKIN DIORAMA

Holy Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! This is unbelievably cool!

2. SHRUNKEN APPLE HEAD

This is just plain gross and I love it.

3. SPOOKY SILHOUETTES

What a clever idea to decorate both your walls and tables.

4. LACE PUMPKINS

I am super excited to work on these tomorrow.

5. GHOST POP UP BOOKS

I made these last year and they were sooo easy.

A Penny For Your Thoughts

It's here! My vignette for Serving Up Style has been installed and is showing now as we speak. The amount of work that goes into this event is unreal, both pre and post show. The two weeks leading up to the event always makes me question why I signed up for another year, but the end result makes it all worth while. And the money raised goes to the amazing Molly's Fund Fighting Lupus.

Along with the design freedom and raising money, there is also a group of awards that are handed out for different categories. All of those but one are handed out tonight at the Gala Dinner. Keep your fingers crossed for CoCo Designs.

The final award is handed out on Monday morning after voting is tallied for the People's Choice Award. This year Houzz.com is sponsoring online voting for people that can't make it to the show, but can view photos online. So loyal readers, please click on the link and vote for CoCo Designs' "A Penny For Your Thoughts".
