A new perspective

I know in the past, I wrote about how I never wear makeup or have my nails painted, as I am more into the all natural.

I wanted to give an update on the things I do differently now.

First off, makeup. I still do not wear a full face of makeup, as I still see that as lying to the world on what you really look like. Since I sell Lilla Rose at events now, I have started wearing a more natural looking eye shadow, mascara and lip stain. Yes, if you come to a show I am at 4-5 times a year, called Oddmall, I will be wearing purple eye shadow and purple lip stain, because that is what the show is about... standing out.

The more natural makeup that I have found is from various companies and with much trial and error.

My eye shadow and eye brushes are from Acti-Labs, which is a MLM from France. It has many natural products, but the palette from last summer was a great choice of colors that didn’t over power and stand out. Once I am done with this palette though, I will be switching to Karity brand, as then, I can choose the shades I want, with many colors to choose from. I also use the Black to do a very tiny eye liner on the top only. I’m not sure it can even be seen, but I know it is there.

For mascara, I love how my lashes look curled, but hate the clumps and fake look of most mascaras give. I asked around to friends and they recommended Clinique Naturally Glossy. I love that it comes in brown, which matches my hair, and the fact it looks like I am not wearing anything!

My lip stain is from LipSense. Yes, another MLM, actually the company is called Senegence. I love that I can put the stain on and it really does last 18 hours. My favorite color is called Caramel Apple, with it I use only the Glossy Gloss.

My nails, I have found that I have stopped biting my nails completely, if I keep a color on them. My favorite lacquers are from OPI and yes, another MLM Jamberry. But, in the past few weeks, I was introduced to yet another MLM, ColorStreet Nails. I am seriously loving these 100% nail polish strips. I like them so much, I have made 2 YouTube videos about them and I’m not even selling them! I have worn 3 sets so far and I have not had any scratches or chipping after wearing them for over a week. The longest I have worn a set is 1 week and 1 day, because I have wanted a change, but when I don’t have an event to go to and can keep them on for up to 2 weeks, I’d like to put them to the test. One huge test I will be putting the through, is the Oddmall event this weekend. Usually, I paint my nails and they do not last the weekend because of how I have to use my fingers to put Flexi Clips in and out of customer’s hair. I have high hopes...

I will be having a Nail Bar on Facebook, on March 5, if anyone is interested in helping me earn free sets.

Anyway,  besides those products, I don’t use anything else.

Starting up again!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to to start writing again. I’m not sure where my articles will go, but I’m sure most will be about hair styling with Lilla Rose hair accessories. If you haven’t had a chance to see what I have been up to, you can always visit my Facebook business page, www.facebook.com/beequaButterfly 

My first I will be working on is how I have changed my perspective slightly on getting all dolled up with makeup and nails. But, not by much.
