A fun time out - one of the gals at one of my favorite message boards, MommysHelper, posted this. Enjoy!
| You Are Red Orange |
 You are a very genuine person, although it takes a while for you to show the true you. A bit introverted, you desire respect and affection from those close to you. You are quite empathetic, and you have a true concern for the well being of others. Many people have warm, heartfelt memories of you - even if you don't remember them well. |

Eyes
1. The easiest way to a smoky eye is to start with
liner. Starting right in the lash line, use
Glimmersticks Eye Liner in Blackest Black to fill in
between the lashes. This gives you a defined line.
2. Next, use the same product, Glimmersticks Eye
Liner in Blackest Black, to line the inner rim of
the upper and lower lid.
3. Follow that with Glimmersticks Eye Liner in
Blackest Black under the eye and give it a nice little
soft smudge.
4. Next, use True Color Eye Shadow in Midnight Plum
on the lid, starting right next to the lash line. You
want to keep the lower part of the lid the strongest.
Blend well to soften the edge and remove any hard
lines. The color should get softer and blend out
lighter as it gets closer to the brow. You want to
keep the dark color close to your lash line, not right
under your brow.
5. Finish up the eyes with Uplifting Mascara.
Cheeks and Lips
1. When you’re wearing a smoky eye, the rest of the
face should be kept in a neutral color that works
well with your skin tone.
2. For Cara’s cheeks we used Split Second Blush
Stick in Berry, a color available next year. In the
meantime, you can substitute with Split Second
Blush Stick in Tropical Peach. Dot on the “apples”
of cheeks and blend well.
3. On Cara’s lips we used a neutral gloss to help
balance the darker eyes. We used Brown Sugar
Glazewear Liquid Lip Color.
Nails
1. Dark nails aren’t limited to October 31st anymore!
They are chic and sophisticated for all year.
2. Best tip for wearing dark nails – keep nails short.
Pulling it all Together
1. You no longer have to keep a monochromatic look
for stylish makeup. Your lips don’t have to match
your nails. The rules are getting easier. You can
mix it up and have fun!
Who doesn't have a little diva in them? I sure do! When I came across a blog called Diva Days, it naturally sparked my interest. I headed over and started reading. I opened the blog and read the tagline and thought - how great is that?? (If you want to know what it says - go see for yourself, lol) Here I am still reading a half an hour later. I had to tear myself away in order to get some work done!
Diva Days has a hodge podge of posts on it! It has everything from Funny Days - full of funny stories, to recipes, to posts defining Divas. It is written in a light humorous style that makes it easy to read and easy to keep you wanting more! Once I started reading, I literally couldn't stop. I suggest you stop on by and check it out!
I think I overuse the Label / Category section of my blog. I feel like I don't want to leave anything out, but now the list is so long that I don't want to post it on the sidebar because it would take up too much room!
Time to clean up/organize my little corner of the blogosphere.
