Smoky Eye Ideas, Follow Celebrity Makeup Styles
We all know well about the smoky eye. Celebrities from Hollywood tend to have this makeup classic down pat – black eyeliner, charcoal or black shadow, and plenty of mascara for a dark, sensuous look. But what happens when we have a daytime event to go to, or we just want to switch it up some? The good news for you is that, luckily, celebrities are changing just like our personal styles are ever-changing, and they’ve come up with a few new things you can do to switch up that classic smoky eye.

One thing you can do to your average smoky eye look to switch it up is to use different colors entirely. For a softer look, try charcoal eyeliner and an even lighter gray. Or try navy liner with a brighter blue shadow to bring in some fun. You can do the smoky eye with virtually any color, so keep that in mind. Just try to buy shadow that is several shades lighter than the liner to give it a unique look and a distinction between the two.

Another makeup tip that celebrities are following lately is the reverse smoky eye. Generally a smoky eye means very dark liner, lighter shadow to the crease, then a very light variation to the brow bone. Reversing the smoky eye can have an amazingly youthful effect. Try a nice taupe color from the crease to the brow, then a shiny silver color from the crease down, using it as your liner as well. This kind of look gets raves on the red carpet, and can help make you look younger by brightening the eye area rather than darkening it.

Buying Shirts for Your Little Girl 2010, 2011 Tips
Clothing your little angel can be quite a task. Sometimes you put her in something super cute and adorable and then you wonder why exactly she starts getting upset and doesn’t want to wear it. However, you may want to look into what exactly you’re putting on her. Sometimes the cutest things are consequently the most uncomfortable.
1. Necklines. Different kids like different necklines. Some shirts, however, have the bad habit of having a much too high neckline. This can chafe and feel really scratchy against your daughter’s neck and make her not want to wear it. If she is tugging at the neck of her shirt, or begs not to wear that shirt, then you may want to look at the neckline. Most of the time, you can easily adjust it and resew the neckline much farther down to make it more comfortable for her.
2. Length. A shirt that is way too long and she finds herself sitting on can also be annoying, unless it is made to be sat on (for example, a tunic shirt). It might pull the front up or cause the sleeves to pull at her arms. The solution is to either get rid of the shirt, or make it a little bit shorter.
3. Long sleeves. Then there’s always that one long sleeve shirt. You put it on her and she starts wiggling, trying to get away. Maybe it’s that it’s too hot, or perhaps it’s something else. Maybe the sleeves are twisting up. Depending on the size of the shirt, it can be more or less difficult to untwist the sleeves to make her comfortable. Slightly baggier shirts are a little bit easier to fix.
Keep in mind that this is all based on preference. What may not bother one girl may drive another crazy.

Purse Party, Buy Handbags on a Budget, 2010, 2011
Purse parties are a fun and cost effective way to get the latest designer styles for bargain basement prices. Despite the questionable lines of ethics and stigmas behind these estrogen fused gatherings, those who have experienced one will usually admit they had fun and found some great deals. What are the implications of purse parties? Are we fueling an unfair and unethical market, or is it just a guilty pleasure? The answer depends.
Purses purchased at purse parties are typically knockoffs of designer styles. Many times the outward quality of these purses is so accurate that it is difficult to decipher them from their real counterparts. This is appealing to fashionistas on a budget who want to designer look, but can’t pay the designer price. What is the real cost of buying one of these purses?
These knockoffs are frequently made in “sweat shop” type factories in developing countries where the workers may endure questionable working environments. Buying knockoff’s further enables the continued practice of substandard working conditions. The designs are also blatant rip-offs of a designer’s intellectual property and life’s work. There is no guarantee that the designer in question gave permission or even has knowledge that his/her hard work is being sold in this manner.
Additionally the purses, although outwardly stylish and indistinguishable from the original, are far inferior in quality. If the designer version costs $400 but will last for several years of use and abuse, is it worth buying a knockoff for $80 that might fall apart a month later?
While purse parties are fun, there are many factors to consider when supporting these companies. Only you can decide what you are willing to do for that latest designer trendy look.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Singles in Antique Jade Review
I hadn’t done much with makeup in the last year. I might throw on a bit of powder, maybe a bit of lipstick and eyeliner, but eyeshadow was out of the question. However, I have started up again and one color that caught my eye recently was Antique Jade. At first, I was looking for makeup from L’Oreal’s HIP line, but I was a bit scared to try a pigment. I have noticed that when I’m scared to try something, I generally find a product I love instead. And this time was no different.
“Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow”
First of all, I am frightened of green eyeshadow. It looked like something that I wouldn’t be able to wear. When I took the risk, I discovered this:
You need a base for this eyeshadow. It doesn’t have to be a good one—my L.A. Colors Liquid Concealer works just fine. Otherwise, you end up with creasing, transfering (I ended up with a bald patch on my eye. It was rather bizarre.) upward, and just looking funky.
You can also layer it as thick or as thin as you want. I use a makeup brush instead of the applicator (it went straight in the trash can.) and one swipe is kind of a mint green with almost no shimmer. This being a high-pearl eyeshadow, I was kind hoping for a wee bit more. So I added a little bit more. Not quite there. One or two more swipes gives me a shiny, almost june bug look. I loved it. But it wasn’t quite right. So I took some Night Sky and used that in the crease and blended well. I loved that even more!
In short, I will be buying this again. It’s a great fix for if you use a little bit too much black eyeshadow (Guilty!) and want to brighten it up. All you have to do is pack a little bit on top and voila. No more “Got in a fight” look!
