My go to eye shadow

OK so everyone has their "shadow" that they put on almost everyday and it is just their go to!  Mine is a M.A.C eye shadow in the color SABLE.  I am telling you for people that have green to bluish eyes this is the perfect everyday shadow.  It is a tad on the dark side, but if you only put on layer on it is a nice soft color with a hint of shimmer.

I can honestly put this one color on and feel ready for the day.  If I want more drama I just add some dark purple to the outer corners of my eyes and I am done!  The thing I love about M.A.C eye shadows is that they are easy to apply (use a good brush), they stay on all day, and the little pots they come in last FOREVER...I mean really, I use mine everyday and only go through about one a year.  That is quite the bargain...at only $15.00 you are really getting your bang for your buck!

This is the actual color SABLE, it seems dark but just try it!

This is what the eye shadow looks like at the MAC counter.  If you are in a hurry do you know that all of the eye shadow's are in alphabetical order back on the counter (??) so it is easy to find your favorites and be on your way.  At least at the Nordstrom store this is how they have them organized!  

Easy peasy!!

I have other favorite M.A.C eye shadows that are darker but I will save those for another post. Happy shopping for shadow! ;)

Feeling Frizzy?

Go from frizzy to skinny in a snap!

This stuff can make you feel fabulous with just a little dollop!  Not very many products help my hair, it is super fine, and straight as an arrow, BUT there are days when I don't feel like straightening the ends and this works wonders to control my frizz and help it shine like a star.

It is Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

It is simple really, put a little bit in your hand (when I say a little I mean it, a lot goes a loooong way) you can always add more, but can't take it out. ;)  Then rub it through your wet hair, I usually stick to the bottom half of my hair to avoid looking greasy on the top.  After I dry my hair if I still think I need a little bit more I try to remember to do it before I use my flat iron because it will help protect it from the heat.  

The big bottle shown in the picture will last you a LONG time, but they do sell a smaller travel size that is perfect if you travel a lot or shower at the gym.  

I buy this product from my hair dresser at All About You but most salons and beauty stores have it.

They come in .85oz., 5.1oz, and 8.5oz 

(Prices are around:  $15, $20, and $30)

Now the real question is, why can they make a bottle of Super Skinny Serum for your hair and not your body?  NOW that would be something ;)

Estee Lauder 'Double Wear' Concealer

One of the not so fun parts of having un-ruly skin is having to cover it up!  Thank goodness for things like this product that helps tremendously.  It blends so well and doesn't flake for a flawless finish!  One of the keys (especially for sensitive skin) is that it is oil FREE! The product is:

Estee Lauder 'Double Wear' Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer SPF 10

(I know...kind of a long name)

This product is something I just recently discovered with the help of a beauty consultant at Nordstrom.  I told her I was annoyed that my current concealer would wear off and then leave me with redness at the end of the day or night.  She promised I would like it and told me to give it a try...so I did.  I am one happy (concealed) camper!  She was right, it stayed on all day...and kept things covered!  

The product has an easy applicator wand that makes it easy to use.  I use after my moisturizer and before my  foundation.  If I have something I really need to cover, then I go back over it after my foundation.  Or if I forget I put it on after my foundation and it works just as well...just make sure to blend well with your finger.

I use the color Light/Medium and seems to work well with my skin that is fading into a winter color :(

The price is $22.00 and I purchased it at Nordstrom which is always good when you are trying a new product because their return policy is so easy.

Say goodbye to pesky redness and hi to flawless skin!!  Yippppeee!

What is your go to concealer?

-sister Jenny

I am the youngest sister of the group and currently live in Italy on the island of Sardegna.  I would say my style is a combination of casual and dressy.  I try to be comfortable but like to look put together at the same time.  Some of my favorite stores are Nordstrom, Zara, Express, and other local boutiques 

(especially here in Italy).  

OK so the first thing I want to share is my foundation.  I LOVE Clinique Even Better foundation and I wear the Neutral shade.  It is covers so well and makes all those small imperfections and pores go away.  I love that it has SPF 15 in it so I can wear it in the sun too and know I am getting a little bit of coverage.  I usually use my Clinique foundation brush to put it on and it smooths on really easily and blends well.  I definitely do not have perfect skin so this is awesome for me to wear every day and feel like everyone can't see every little thing on my skin (because no one wants that)!!  This has a great feel on the skin too, and even though it is close to full coverage it doesn't feel like it. 

I get this product at nordstrom.com and always keep your eye out for the Clinique bonus time for an some extra mini products to try for free!  It is $27.00 and claims to over time diminish age spots and actually improve your overall skin tone and clarity.  It also comes in 30 colors, so you can definitely find your match!  

What is your favorite foundation??

SO this is the first post in hopefully many!  As sister's we are going to share with you (hopefully that means many faithful followers) our tricks of the trade.  At this point we are thinking along the lines of beauty, fashion and maybe throw in a little health too, but who knows where this road will take us.  We guess you will have to just keep coming back for more!  Start following us by just pushing the Fellow Beauties button on the right!
