MAKEUP: THE ROYAL WAY
FLAWLESS, SIMPLE, CLASSY. Those are the three words that come to mind when I think of Kate Middleton. The new duchess of Cambridge walked down the aisle this morning at Westminster abbey wearing McQueen. I die for Kate’s look on her wedding day! I don’t think there is a person out there who could say she didn’t look stunning.
When I heard that Kate was doing her own...

BROW TRENDS: THICKER THE BETTER
Isn’t it crazy how much better you feel after getting your eyebrows done? I feel like it makes the biggest change on my face. It makes me feel so well kept! It’s the WORST when the eyebrow lady messes up. I guess I’m pretty anal about my eyebrows. I tell the lady ten times before she starts exactly how I want them done, and I warn her ahead of time that I will freak out if they...

LOOK AIRBRUSHED: THE PERFECT FOUNDATION
I’m not personally a fan of foundation, especially on a daily basis. I think my powder gives me enough coverage (without looking caked on). That being said, there are some occasions where it’s fun to add a little more makeup on your face! I was in search for the perfect foundation. I wanted something that 1) was light 2) provided full coverage 3) matched my skin tone 4) made my skin...

YOUR FACE IS A CANVAS: USE PRIMER!
I discovered primer a few years ago and realized what a money saver it ends up being! I’m so used to coating layers of makeup on in order for it to show up, but with primer, I no longer have to. I was going to Sephora to get my regular products and saw a girl getting her makeup done. The makeup artist described his work as a “masterpiece”. At first, I thought this was a bit...

Rihanna has had an amazing few months with the release of her album Loud. She’s been performing everywhere from the CMAs to American Idol. Rihanna made history this week for “the shortest span between a solo artist’s first and 10th No. 1s in the chart’s 52-year history.” She officially has 10 No.1 hits on Billboard!
Beyond breaking records,...

FABO EYES: THE "CAT-EYE" LINER LOOK
I’m a huge liner girl. I think eyeliner is a great way to make your eyes pop. What’s great about liner is that you can use it to make your makeup look dramatic OR light depending on the occasion. I personally think eye liner is one of those products you DON’T have to splurge money on. I love my pencil and liquid liners and they are from drug stores. To read what my favorite...

NUDE LIPS: THE SAFE, SEXY WAY
Everyone has that lip color that they love and usually resort to when nothing else looks right. It’s that color that makes you feel confident and ready for a night on the town. My go to lip color is the neutral look with a little gloss. It goes with every outfit and compliments heavy eye makeup well. My routine is usually to do a nude lip stick and top it off with a gloss. **BEAUTY TIP** For...

MOISTURIZER: THE KEY TO HEALTHY SKIN
Like I have said, I have EXTREMELY dry skin. Because of this, it is important that I moisturize my face constantly. The worst feeling is when you put powder on your face and you can just tell your skin is dry. An even worse feeling is when someone points out that your skin is flaking (puke)! I have tried every moisturizer out there from high-end to drug store. It annoys me thinking about how many...

MUST-HAVE BRUSHES
The problem for most ladies is that they have all the right shades that work well with their skin but don’t know how to apply it. Half the key to having perfect coverage are the tools you use. I recommend investing in some quality brushes. If taken care of properly, they can last a LONG time. I noticed a huge difference in the way my powder, bronzer, blush, and eye makeup looked after I...

WANT HIGH CHEEKBONES? USE BRONZER!
You know how everyone has that one product they have to put on their face no matter where they are going? My product is bronzer! Even if I don’t wear foundation, blush, concealer, or powder, I always put on bronzer. There is something about the way it makes my cheeks look that I love. A light brush of bronzer allows me to have the natural look without looking caked on for day to day...

BEAUTY OF THE WEEK: J.LO
This week Jennifer Lopez was crowned the ”World’s Most Beautiful Woman” by People. She has had an AMAZING year with her recent role as a judge on American Idol, huge endorsement deal with L’Oreal Paris, a new album with a number one hit ft Pitbull, and now THIS!
I have to say that this title is well deserved. J.Lo is 41 years old, has had twins, and STILL looks drop...

HIGHLIGHTERS: GLOW LIKE THE STARS DO
Does anyone else get really annoyed looking at pictures of famous people and wonder how their skin is ALWAYS glowing? Ladies, don’t let them fool you. I guarantee you that only 1% actually have a natural glow to their skin. The rest is in the hands of their make up artists. The mistake that a lot of girls make is buying products that have a natural shimmer in them already thinking this will...

RED LIPS-- IS IT FOR YOU?
I know everyone sees all the celebs wearing the cherry red lipstick and wants to try it out but scared to because it is SO bold. I personally think it’s a great look! It’s different, fun, and daring. I feel like red lips are all about confidence. If you believe you look good in it, everyone else will too. That being said, BOYS HATE IT! I don’t know if its too different for them...

MAKE UP DO's AND DON'Ts: VANESSA HUDGENS
Has anyone else noticed how different Vanessa Hudgens looks post break up with Zac Efron? Did she break up with her glam squad too? She cut off her gorgeous hair, started dressing “edgy”, and completely changed the way she does her make up. I thought celebrities up’ed their style after a public break up. I was looking at some pictures of her pre-breakup and post-breakup and it...

HOW TO GET MY SMOKY EYE LOOK
I think every girl should highlight what they feel is their best feature. If you have high cheek bones, help them glow with a great blush. If you have plump lips, show them off with a killer lipstick. Personally, I’m a huge eye make up girl. I love experimenting with different eye shadows, mascaras, and eye liners.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am OBSESSED with the smoky eye look. I...

BOBBI MAKES THE BAGS GO AWAY: BEST CONCEALER
A problem area for many girls is dark circles or bags under their eye. Personally, the area around my eye is darker than the rest of my face. I have been in search for a great concealers. What I look for in a concealer is 1. coverage 2. glow 3. texture. I have extremely dry skin, so when I am in search for a good concealer, I prefer those that are liquidy and feel moisturizing (for those who have...

DISCOVERY OF THE DAY: A GREAT SMOKEY EYE KIT DOES...
My friend came over and asked me to teach her how to do smoky eyes. I’m all for helping my friends learn to do proper smoky eyes because a. then I don’t always have to do it b. its such a glam look if done properly and a trashy look if done wrong. She came to my apartment with a new makeup kit she bought from ULTA earlier that day. She said that she had no idea where to begin and...
