The Beauty Of Being Naked

 I just cannot say enough about Urban Decay's Naked $50 and Naked 2 $50 natural eye palettes. The colors are so versatile and and the neutral shades can create different looks.  Wither you want to create a basic, soft look for the day to wear to work, or a dark smoky eye for a night out on town.  The only problem I saw was both palettes had a gold shade called "half baked".  The palette has a range of metallic, matte, and shimmery colors.  Both palettes have 12 colors and are a great value for anyone.  You can grab both at Sephora.com.

Love Is In The Air

 The perfect pair red and pink for the Valentine weekend was complete with my red lip and pink stiletto nails.  A while back I was looking for the perfect red lipstick and was super pumped when I found a color I liked.  I have an intense red OCC liptar but wanted a more sultry red. I fell in love with MAC matte color: Ruby Woo.  I paired this lipstick with MAC lip liner: Burgundy and had my lips popping!  I choose a sheer cream shirt with a cream tube bra and a bright red textured skirt.  The snake skin shoe spiced up my look and I polished my outfit with gold accessories.

Plus Size Powerhouse Adele Covers Vogue

Everyone knows the spring issue of Vogue is a big deal.  All the latest trends and beautiful designer threads are showcased by beautiful models.  To grace the cover of such an important issue is an honor; one extended to the powerhouse vocalist, Adele by the editor of Vogue mama Anna Wintour herself!  Adele is a full figured US size 16 and she proves its all about the music and size does not matter.  Her voice is unique and carries a smoky, smooth sound which warranted for six grammy awards!  Adele is gorgeous in the spread and I can't wait to see more and hear more from her.

 

Food Files: Homemade Guacamole

Love tacos?  Me too!!  So much my daughter and I plan for burritos, tacos or taco salad twice a month.  I decided to share my homemade guacamole recipe because its super easy to make and very tasty!  Since December I have been eating a low carb diet and found avocados to be very healthy.  Avocados are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber (a plus for dieters for digestive reasons).  Also, avocados are full of vitamin K, vitamin A, oleic acid, and lycopene.  So whip up a batch to toss on your taco salad, burger, or as a fun dip!
