I Heart Gregory Gorgeous & Update

Hi everyone! Wow. I haven't posted in the past two weeks and I am so happy to see that I reached my milestone goal for this year. I now have over 1,000 page views. I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who has come to visit the blog and I look forward to expanding and including more of my own original content in the future! Another thing I wanted to update before getting to today's content is that I haven't forgotten about the Makeup for Dark Skinned Women series. I have content lined up for the series but things have been so hectic that I have not had time to actually create the posts (plus I've been sidebarring and focusing on other content that I love). I'll get back to the Makeup for Dark Skinned Women series next month. Now let's get on with today's content:

Sometimes I just go to YouTube for a pick me up and Gregory Gorgeous never fails with his reviews and diva-like attitude. This is a video about his life and overcoming obstacles. He really is my favorite reviewer and I'll include one of his reviews below as well so that you can experience his reviews too.






Until Next Time,

Beauty by Lauren Conrad-Book Review

If I had to choose between Lauren Conrad’ Style and Beauty, I would choose Beauty. I really enjoyed Style but I enjoyed Beauty even more. After reading her Beauty book I realized that my interests are geared a little bit more towards makeup than fashion (only by a little J). I loved how she showed everything with pictures. Lauren does a good job of highlighting different makeup related topics including:

-Contouring

-Highlighting

-Reviewing The Different Makeup Brushes and their Uses

-Hair

I loved the diversity in the models she featured in her book as well. It was refreshing to see that she was conscious enough to address concerns for specific complexions and hair types. She made makeup seem so simple by breaking things down step-by-step. I will be adding this book to my own collection as well in the future. The last section of the book that features styles by decade (e.g. the 30’s, 40’s, and 70’s) is also fun! Check out Lauren Conrad’s Beauty Here.

Beauty Book Review-Makeu-Up Secrets by Jemma Kidd

Jemma Kidd’s Make-Up Secrets is by far the best book about makeup I have read so far. It was organized so well and an easy and enjoyable read. I love how Jemma breaks everything down in steps in both text and photos for you to follow along. I have a really awesome library nearby (that’s where I get most of my books) and happened to come across some great beauty books including Jemma’s Make-Up Secrets. I am going to actually buy my own copy of this book to hold on to as a reference. My favorite chapters where the lipstick and eye shadow chapters. She provides readers with some really great tips and suggestions that I’d never considered before. The other thing that I thought was priceless was the list of her favorite products in the back of the book. That is worth the purchase of the book itself to me. I’m an information junkie and she feed my need to know more about beauty and makeup. If you are someone who needs something tangible to guide you as you figure out makeup, pick up a copy of this book. I also suggest this book for young girls who are just getting started with makeup for the first time. Jemma’s book will help them avoid some of the mistakes that many of us make when we are experimenting with makeup for the first time. I give Jemma Kidd Make-Up Secrets  five out of five stars!
