While I was browsing around the internet for new make-up ideas, I came across an article from The Today Show style section that ranked the best blushes for your money. The article originated from Totalbeauty.com These blushes were voted on by women based on their preference for the "natural" look. Among the winers are NARS Cream Blush, Lancome Blush Subtil, and TART Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush.

Make sure you check out the article for new blush ideas: here

Recently I picked up a couple new cosmetic products: NARS Bronzer in Laguna and MAC Blush in Stunner. The bronzer gives me an amazing glow and the blush a great flush of color.

What new products have you picked up lately??

Hey all. A while ago I stumbled upon a post by the Mop Top Maven and she was blogging about M.A.C eye shadow and make up brush "dupes". If you don't know, a "dupe" is like a "knock-off". Looks and works the same as the real thing, but isn't. The make-up artist in the videos below is EnKore. He has is own youtube channel where he explains how to apply all types of make up. His videos are amazing. The eye shadows and brushes are great alternatives to the real thing. If you're like me and like to look fly on a budget, you should definitely check out these videos.
