What this for? Nail what?

Nail polish crazy days

It has been so wild the past few days! Ozotic shipment came in, then my Glitter Gals came in. It's was little bottles of Lizard Belly all in a row. We still have a few left. Check them out here: http://overallbeauty.com/catalog/nails-glitter-polish-c-193_176.html
I keep trying to give the website updated on how many we have of each. But that changes like almost hourly. Lol
Been having a really fun chat by email about men wearing polish. This guy bought a few BB Nail Polish for Men and has been trying to get his girlfriend to wear it too. I think wearing polish is better than getting a tattoos of a girls name right? What do you do if you break up? Just odd thoughts from a very happy tired website owner. :)

Eye Shadow - Top 12 Tips On How To Apply It Perfectly

Your makeup is as important to your finished look as the clothing you wear, in fact, it can actually be more important. We've all spotted women who didn't have a clue how to apply their eye shadow. But we've also saw women who know how to apply it properly and they look put together and beautiful. Don't you want to be one of those women? Of course - and we are going to give you some top tips so you can do just that.

Great news - putting your eye shadow on correctly really isn't difficult at all. It really is just a matter of finding the right technique and look for you and your personal style. Don't worry if it takes a few tries to get it right. Check out these tips:

1.
Always apply a base coat on your eyes just as you do to the rest of your face. Loose power works or you can apply your foundation to the eye area. It gives a nice even palette to work with.

2.
Blend, blend, and then blend some more. I can't stress this enough. Try an experiment. Blend one eye and then just use a brush and apply the other eye. You'll instantly know what I'm talking about and you'll never forget to blend again.

3.
If you want dramatic eyes, take your eye shadow brush, dip it into water, and then into the shadow, then apply. It will give you a much deeper, dramatic color.

4.
If you have blue eyes, wear purple, violet, taupe, gray, deep blue, and black. Funky colors include fuchsia, turquoise, and silver.

5.
If you have green eyes, wear purple, plum, forest green, brown, and khaki. Funky colors include light green, gold, and bright purple.

6.
If you have brown eyes, wear champagne, copper, brown, apricot, khaki, and beige. Funky colors include royal blue, tangerine, hand hot pink.

7.
Everyone can wear navy, powder blue, and charcoal. Fun colors include silver.

8.
Apply a lighter shadow in the inner corner of the eye to reflect and make your eyes look younger.

9.
If you want your eyes to appear larger, use a light color on the inner corner, and a darker shade in the middle of the eye area.

10.
Practice until you get the application of your eye shadow down to a science. When you get good, your make up will look more natural and more polished.

11.
Apply your dark shadow only to the eyelids from the lash line to the crease in the eyelid. Apply your medium shadow from just below the eyelid crease to the brow bone.

12.
Highlight along the brow bone. Doing it this way will make your features stand out naturally and beautifully.

So there you have it. With these top tips you now know how to apply your eye shadow so you will look your best.

Remember that while you're practicing all these steps, that you should take notice of what works best for you. Practice by yourself, or practice with a friend if you find it easier to ask someone else's opinion.

And one more thing. If you make your face more youthful looking with wrinkle creams that gives results, then any make up that you have will be so much more effective.

So go for it and get gorgeous right away!

It's Coffee Time Again!: Happy Mothers's Day!

It's Coffee Time Again!: Happy Mothers's Day!

Happy Mothers's Day!

Each mom today will be given gifts, cards, breakfast in bed made by small children with daddy's help. Some moms will just be thankful that their child off fighting for our freedom is alive another day. Some may even just wish that their child would forgive them for their past, and move on and remember that without their mom they would be here.
What did I get this year? Dirt. No don't laugh my hubby knows that what I love the most is having beautiful roses growing in my front yard. Because of a car accident I have not been able to give my roses the love they need. And right what they need is dirt. Organic rose loving dirt.

So last night we had time and we went to orchard to get a new sprinklehead thing so we can water the backyard when he asked me what I needed for my roses? I told him dirt. So he bought enough dirt that with of help from my son my roses will blooms pretty again. And he bought me moss rose seeds. Moss rose isn't really a rose so I don't know how they got their name but I have a area that needs flowers, so he bought me dirt for that too. Then very quietly told me happy mothers day.

BB Couture Nail Polish Rocks

From Drop Box

You may not know this but Hermosa Surfer Girl is one of Cindy (owner) of BB Couture most favorite color to date that she has created. And she has created a lot! I think the closest one to this would be
one of the brand new colors:
Cybele ~ A Touch of Greece
The pretty lady is so sheer but amazing at the same time. It looks brown with pink in the bottle.. apply and its so super sheer.. and beautiful as a top coat over any of the other A Touch of Greece ladies..
Being so super sheer no one has ordered her yet. But she sure is pretty.. Have a great day everyone!

Got a favorite nail polish color?

This is the time of year where dark nail polishes start showing up on everyones nails. Some do not base the time of year on when they should wear a color. Which is pretty cool, used to be you stop wearing white after labor day but that so called fashion rule is pretty much forgotten.
This is the year for purple, from amazing purple eye shadow sets, Gabrielle Faust by Overall Beauty is a great example of that. (order any color get one free till 9/23/10) just add the color to comments when ordering from http://overallbeauty.com

Nail polish by BB Couture this year has two amazing purples for this fall season. Have you checked out Carla and Michael yet from the Infamous Lovers collection yet? Now that is two beautiful shades of purple! No matter what we all got our favorite colors of nail polish.
Why do we like one color over the other? Why when we look to buy new nail polishes we always seem to come home with the same? Never the same shade but usually the same color. (green lover here) that my friends is your question to think about as you view all the pretty colors of polishes you have , or desire.

How To Wear Dark Eye-Shadow

Eyeshadow, when applied properly, can enhance, or even change, the shape of the eye. By applying dark eyeshadow you can create depth and add drama for an amazing evening look. By using the following techniques, you can apply dark eyeshadow with ease and avoid looking like a serious fashion “don’t”.

Before beginning, you will need the following supplies:

~ The makeup basics: foundation, concealer, eye brightener, highlighting powder and Black Magic mascara, Magic Lash
~Your favorite brand of black eyeliner (opt for the pencil, not liquid)
~An angled eyeshadow brush
~Dark eyeshadow of your choice
~Light and shimmery eyeshadow

To begin, you will need to apply your foundation, concealer, eye brightener, highlighting powdered and your other makeup basics before applying your eyeliner and eyeshadow. Usually, eyeliner is applied after applying eyeshadow, if you want to create a smoky look, start with the black eyeliner before adding eyeshadow. Create a line that starts at the outer corner of your eyelid and work towards the end of your lashes. Make sure to work as near to the lash line as possible.

Next, you will need to use an angled eyeshadow brush to apply your dark eyeshadow, apply it directly over the eyeliner and gently work it in with the brush to smudge the eyeliner. Ensure that the edges and the entire length of the line is well blended.

After applying the eyeshadow, blend gradually up your eyelid to the crease and work the powder into your skin. After blending, apply a light white or cream shimmery eyeshadow above the crease up towards the eyebrows. By adding a light and shimmery eyeshadow, you will make your eyes pop.

Apply your eyeliner once again. This time start at the outer corner of the lid, starting just beyond and above the inner corner of the eye. Then apply eyeliner to the bottom lid as well and smudge the lower line as well.

Complete your look by adding curling your eyelashes and applying mascara. Adding Magic Lash will really bring out the true Diva in you. Dark eye shadows are not for the meek, but anyone with a little practice and pull it off!

Hands of Hope by BB Couture

 **Please note these colors are not longer available
When there is a great need or a desperate time in the lives of others far away from us, we wonder what can we do to help? Its only human nature to want to help others. There are thousands of relief efforts taking place to assist the Haitians during this desperate time in their lives. Our effort to raise $5,000.00 may seem small in comparison, but we feel that every contribution combined can make an enormous difference in helping the children and other survivors of this disaster, so that they may once again enjoy the beauty of their nation. The news coming out of Haiti is filled with extreme tragedy, but with everyone’s help, we can turn this into a story of hope and triumph. Hands of Hope, an exclusive polish collection from BB Couture, was designed with that thought in mind.

The Hands of Hope Collection is a soothing array of pastel crèmes:

~Tortuga Island - explore the exotic lush green island foliage

~Kyona Beach – gaze up at the cloudless baby blue sky while sunning on the beach

~Bassin’s Blue – experience subtle turquoise pools linked by spectacular waterfalls

~Labadie Beach – delight in the delicate pink hues of the setting sun

~Cape Haitian – mornings bring a mysterious pale violet haze over the mountains

~Paradise – savor the natural beauty of Haiti along the endless sandy beige beaches

What are the best eyeliners?

What is your favorite type of Eyeliner?

Pencil- gives the softest finish, easiest to use and you can smudge it. If you can use a pencil you can use a pencil eyeliner.
Cake- applies wet with a small brush, smudges well when using eye shadow over it. Long lasting tends not to flake like liquid can.
Liquid – gives the most dramatic look of all the types, quick drying, needs a steady hand. Can flake.
Gel- used like a liquid or cake but can easier to apply, its long lasting, apply with a brush.
How to Use a Pencil Eyeliner

Why use eyeliner at all? Good question. Eyeliner when applied correctly gives the illusion of longer lashes. There is really nothing worse than white spaces between lashes to ruin a look especially if you have light colored lashes.
What is pencil eyeliner then?

Pencil- gives the softest finish, easiest to use and you can smudge it. If you can use a pencil you can use a pencil eyeliner.

What should an great pencil eyeliner do? It should work effectively without having too press hard, has a good wearable color day or night, doesn’t drag and has a great smudge-ability.

When using an pencil eyeliner there are a few tricks you may not know about.
Using a pencil eye liner make it easier to apply a line at the base of your eyelashes. Especially if you have shaky hands.
Want your pencil eyeliner to stay put?
Try this: Apply a layer of eye shadow over it. Smudge it with a small brush and your pencil eyeliner stays put!
What about using your pencil eyeliner in warm weather? Stick it in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening them.
What about using it in cold weather? Your pencil can get too hard and can drag and leave an uneven look. Hit it with your hairdryer to soften the point before using it. Just be sure it’s not still hot!!

Side note: Besides me, does anyone else remember doing this?
As a teenager I remember lighting a match to soften the tip of my pencil eyeliner in the girl’s bathroom. I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup but like all teens that didn’t stop me from applying it before morning class!!
Did you realize that even among pencil eyeliners you have choices?
Your basic drugstore pencil is just like a pencil. Some can be really hard, don’t stay put or flake.
Your more expensive ones tend to have useful extras like a build in sponges to smudge with and a sharpener. Doesn’t mean the more expensive ones are better, it will depend on the brand as well.
Softer the pencil the more likely it will disappear quicker.
Do invest in a good sharpener for your pencil eyeliner, nothing worse than trying to sharpen it with a kitchen knife!
Now that you got a idea what pencil eyeliners are all about, how about a color tip?

Your eyeliner should harmonize with your eye shadows, but it doesn’t have to match exactly. Even though black eyeliner is the biggest seller and worn by more women overall, it’s not a natural look.
Blue eyes? Look for a eyeliner in shades of navy, it helps bring out the white in your eyes making you look more awake. Violet shade will also work as well.
Brown eyes? Use a dark brown eyeliner bronze to really make your eyes pop!
Green eyes? Try brown, gold or even olive to bring out the green in your eyes!
Off to a party? That’s when you can have fun with your eyeliners! Try silver or crazy colors with glitter!

8 Mistakes to Avoid Having a "Bad Hair Day"

Beautiful hair is a thing that everyone craves. No one likes have those "bad hair days"  Still there are common blunders that people make such as:

• Not conditioning your hair: One of the most common mistake that woman make. Conditioning your hair every time you wash your hair helps keep your hair healthy looking.
  
• Wrong style: Resist the temptation to try every new trend when it is not suitable to your face.
• Choice of products: Be very careful about what products you select for your hair. You should adapt your shampoo and conditioner to suit your own hair type.
• Dark roots: If you want to be a shade more blonde than you really are, do not let those dark roots show. Nothing makes a beautiful blonde tackier than dark roots showing through.
• Braiding and tying your hair: try not to braid or tie your hair too tight.
• Brushing your hair: Never pull at your hair when you brush it and get tangles.
• Be careful of color products: using cheap ones can damage your hair. Try to match the color to your particular skin tone and color. Not everyone looks good blonde or a vibrant red.
• With these points you will be able to take care of your most beautiful asset, your hair.

Traditional Halloween Makeup Tips

Yes it is that time of year again when we abandon our earthly forms and step into the surreal world of the underworld. This fascinating world has lured many to its shadows and Halloween is just an excuse for us to play out our Gothic fantasies.

In the old days Halloween was indeed all about ghouls and goblins but now you can break away from all this and disguise yourself as a celebrity, a beautiful princess or a fairy. You do not have to be an ugly spirit or dead man walking to enjoy Halloween fantasies.  However many people still love the old traditional underworld characters and spirit of Halloween.  Here are some makeup tips to really look the part.

1. Where would we be without the traditional corpse look? If you are holding a Halloween party or going to one you can certainly scare a few people with this disguise. In order to really look like a dead man walking you need to know how to apply corpse paint.

• Apply base paint: This white base paint should make your complexion lighter but not become a mask like a cheerful clown. That is not the effect you want. Spooky pallor is the idea here.
• Eye shadow: This should be dark blue, purple, or even black. Apply around your eyes from brow to lash. Do not forget to add some under the eyes, to really look the part!
• Eyeliner: put a generous amount around the eyes. This will help to accentuate your eye shadow.
• Lipstick: some people use black but if you really want to be a zombie you might consider purple.

Additional strategies: to keep the white base intact you can put a dusting of white powder over before applying the rest of your makeup.

Remember do not blend this make up use translucent powder between layers of base paint.  Be careful what you are using you do not want to look like nothing on earth after the event due to allergies or eye reactions. Read directions carefully and test a small patch of skin if necessary.

2. To really look scary you can dress up as a murder victim with fake wounds and blood! Here are a few tips for this.

Making non toxic blood:

• Mix 3 parts of corn syrup to 1 part of water
• Add red food coloring drop by drop until a realistic blood color is reached
• Mix chocolate syrup as a thickener
• Let stand in a warm atmosphere for around 10 minutes
• Apply and see how scary you can be

To make this “blood” come out of your mouth:

Take a big mouthful of the non toxic blood and let it trickle out of our mouth. Let it flow down your neck and onto your costume, to really look authentic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can stain light cloth.

Make a fake wound: You can draw these with a marker or really go to town with more a more realistic look. Just make an oval with a blue pen, next circle it with a red pen, then blend it a little to look natural. Draw some lines adjacent to the wound and rub them in to look like the wound is still fresh and bleeding. You can use some of your fake blood to really get nasty.

You can make variations on these 2 disguises and shock your friends with some Halloween fun. Enjoy!

Selecting The Right Eye Shadow For You

No matter how skillfully a woman applies her makeup to the rest of her face, if the wrong eye makeup is applied it can ruin the look faster than anything!

Your expressive eyes are the focal point of your whole face, why ruin it by wearing the wrong eye makeup?

Unfortunately your eyes are also the first place that will show the first signs of aging, if your eye makeup is overdone; it can make you look older, tired and hard. No one wants that!

Tips in selecting the right eye shadows for you:

There are three main types of eye shadows to pick from. Cream, powder or liquid. There are other types such as pencils or crayons but they are not as common as they once were.

Cream eye shadows are a good idea if you have delicate eyelid skin. But you must be careful if you choose this type because creamy, oil-based are not for wrinkled skin or drooping eyelids. The reason why this type of eye shadow can be a wrong choice is your body heat turns eye makeup oily, and creams will collect in the fold and melt!

Cream eye shadows do have their advantages. They are easy to apply, easier to create subtle shading effects when used with other types of eye shadows. If your skin is normal to dry, then cream eye shadows might be a good choice for you.

Powder eye shadows. They are probably the best choice in eye shadows for most women of all ages. One of the reason’s being you can find just about every color under the sun in powder eye shadows! One word about color selection, its best to keep as natural as possible for work. Choose between wearing taupe’s and grays for shadows, light peach, pink or buff for highlighting and try a soft violet or blue inside the crease.

If you want to go dramatic do it at night, it will be too much for daytime. Try to avoid any color with iridescence in it. Light reflecting particles only attract more attention if you have wrinkled skin. That is best for the younger set.

The biggest complaint against wearing powder eye shadows is that it does come off. Wearing a eye shadow will help with keeping your eye shadow in place longer through the day. Don’t rub your eyes either, for that will remove your eye shadow as well.

Liquid eye shadows come in a tube with usually a brush or sponge tip. Problem with liquid is once it dries, it doesn’t blend or smudge. It has more staying power than other types of eye shadows which is its major advantage. Many use a liquid eye shadow as their base for their powder eye shadows.

Pencils are not really eye shadows per say but some use them as such. Most of the time pencil eye shadows are used as eye liner because of the ease in use. They have amazing staying power and can really bring out your eyes. But you must be careful in applying them because too much can make you look like you have two black eyes instead.

I hope this help give you ideas of how to pick the right eye shadow type for yourself. Eye shadows can really be lots of fun to play around with. Whatever choice you pick, have light hands when you apply it, don’t over do it. It’s easier to add more than it is to take it off and start over again.

How to Make your Eyes More Seductive

Your eyes are one of your biggest assets. It is said that a person’s soul can be seen from their eyes and yours are no exception! Here are some quick and easy tips to help you make your eyes more seductive.

1. Start with concealer: this will get rid of dark circles and shadows under your eyes. Always pat never rub concealer into your skin.
2. Apply eye base: this will stop eye make up from getting caught in the creases of your eye. It will also help to keep your make up to look fresh for a long time.
3. Eye shadow: This is where the fun begins. To make your eyes look wonderful use a 3 tone effect like the pros.
a. Initially use a light color from lid to brow bone
b. Secondly use a slightly darker shade on your lid
c. Use the darkest color in the crease of your lid.
d. Blend them well.
4. Apply eyeliner: You can use a darker shade of eye shadow for a beautiful effect. Just wet a brush that is slanted and apply the eye shadow. Put it as close to your eye lash line as you can. For the bottom of your eyes only make the line from the middle to the outer edge, and then smudge it with your finger or a cotton bud.
5. Make your eyes stand out: with highlighter, create a v shaped design from top to bottom of the inner corner of your eye blend in. Use gold or pink for this as white will be too bold.
6. Highlight your brows: You can use the same shade of highlighter to use on your brow bone. Apply from the middle to the outside and blend.
7. Last of all apply your mascara. You can create a warmer look with a brown color instead of black.

These steps do not take long and will make you stand out in the crowd. For added effect if you have long lashes you can curl them.

Always match your eye shadow with your eyes and of course the clothes you are wearing. Remember to blend everything well. Subtlety equals seductive. You can also be part of the trend and give your eyes the “smoky look.” Check out these great article on “smoky eyes”!
Hope you enjoy these tips! If you got any please let us comments.. Love to hear your eye makeup tips!

You know what's great about having a personal relationship with most of the people who make the products I sell here at OverallBeauty.com? I can send Cindy, the owner of BB Couture Nail Polish, an email and say my sister has this great idea for a nail polish collection based on hot rod flame paint jobs. Cindy gets all excited because she loves oranges and super soaked metallics.

A few weeks later, the Hot Rod Collection by BB Couture was born out of my sister's love for all things fast and orange! Cindy then turned the set over to Krystal and I. Since the set was her idea, Krystal named the colors and created the graphics. (She's a graphic designer, by the way)

We've made this set LIMITED EDITION, so only 100 bottles of each color were produced and you can ONLY buy it here at Overall Beauty.com!

We have marketed it exclusively from our blogs, twitter and my email newsletter. If you want a set, you better put the pedal to the metal and dump it into your cart! In the first 24 hours of limited release to my newsletter subscribers, we sold almost 100 bottles! Right now, the chopped grape soda goodness that is Lowrider is our top seller followed closely the feeling of wide open blue skies with the top down that is captured in Nitro Injected. Krystal loves Crusin' & Hot Spot (of course!) and I favor the screaming lemon yellow in Lil'Deuce Coupe.

Don't tell Krystal ok? For her part in all this we are giving her the whole set of Hot Rod Collection!! Cause we can!!
