What's Looks Got to Do With It?

Recently, I was reading an article in the Economist about beauty and success. It gave a scenario something like this; There are two candidates for the same job, both same sex, and equal qualifications. One is pug ugly and the other not. Which one would you pick and why? Do you imagine the unattractive candidate, if chosen being offered a less money to do the job?
Does appearance matter? You bet it does-if it didn't why would we even bother to dress up for the interview.

Have You Seen Her....


Now this is what I'm talkin bout---What a flawless, timeless, ageless beautiful face. This new less is more look is something I have been craving from stars like Whitney. If this new FAB look is any indication of what's to come-Ms. Houston will be reclaiming her crown cause we need her. Stumble Upon Toolbar Add to del.icio.us

Chic, Cheap, & Hot


Who says looking good has to be expensive?  Not true especially when you know where to look.  I went in to my neighborhood Target looking for a few basics and was so impressed by some of the new brands of beauty to choose from....  and you thought Target was just for suburban housewives.  Have a look at what's in my new beauty bag.  All new, and all for less.  You're not going to believe it!!!!
First off, I found Australian born celebrity makeup artist Napoleon Perdis.  He created a collection just for Target with that same signature use of bold color and smooth texture.  
I chose some of my favorite products which happen to be perfect for medium and deeper skin tones.  Using these few items, you have a glowing, flawless thing going, while still remaining true to you.
My first product is the NP Set liquid Veil--this illuminating highlighter adds radiance to lips, cheeks, and eyes. Try in Buenes Aires $14.
Next is the NP Set Cruise Blush--a creamy stick blush for a fresh dewy look $18.
Love the NP Set eyeliner--they have so man amazing colors to chose from like, Dubai, Houston, Mexico City, NYC, and Paris.  Nice, creamy and just glides right on with lots of pigment for bold color $17.
Okay, let's switch gears to Loreal Mascara-"Because you're worth it."  So many choices and so little time to create big, fat lashes for around $10.... and finally, Loreal infallible lipgloss for around $10.  Check this in wine, corals, nudes, and browns.  
Now for the bill...drum rolllllll!!!!.  Your bill comes to less than $70.  An uptown look for a downtown price. 

"Just do you..everyone else is already taken."
