All-Out Glamorous Gathering
Step 1 Invite your friends to bring their families along so that parents and siblings can take pictures and be involved in the pre-prom festivities.
Step 2 Mark the spot by tying balloons to your mailbox or hanging a banner to welcome prom-goers.
Step 3 Rent a white tent or a gazebo and set it up in your yard so that friends and couples will have a pretty place to pose. Set flower arrangements on either side of the entrance.
Step 4 Lay a red carpet down from the street to your house so that your glammed-up friends can have an actual "Red Carpet" moment.
Step 5 Hire a professional photographer to capture the experience on film. Your friends can later purchase any photos they would like to have.
Step 6 Set up card tables on the porch or around the yard to hold punch and hors d'oeuvres as refreshment for your guests.
Step 7 Hand out party favors to commemorate the event. Give your friends a silver picture frame with the date and event printed within (or, as a pricier alternative, engraved on the outer frame) or a personalized tin of mints.

3 All- Natural Skin Cleansers
3 All-Natural Skin Cleaners
with Natasha Levitan (Source http://video.about.com/beauty/3-Natural-Skin-Cleaners.htm )
Want to beautify your skin with the most natural products around? Look no further than your kitchen and medicine cabinet to try these quick and easy recipes: witch hazel cleansing tonic, honey nutmeg scar remover, and citrus blackhead treatment.
Witch Hazel Cleaning Tonic
Witch hazel has long been known to have astringent qualities. The liquid you can find in the shelves of drug store is an herbal extract with exceptional cleansing, soothing, and healing properties. It was originally used by Native Americans, who used witch hazel bark and twigs in many therapeutic applications and passed on their knowledge to the settlers.
To make your own old fashioned witch hazel astringent, combine 1 cup of witch-hazel with 2 tablespoons of alcohol and apply it to your skin with cotton ball. If you are sensitive to alcohol, you can substitute it with 1/4 cup of white vinegar.
Honey and Nutmeg Scar Remover
Another natural tonic is honey and nutmeg scar remover wash. This treatment is meant to help heal the scars caused by skin eruptions, skin accidents, and acne.
To make honey and nutmeg scare remover, combine 1 teaspoon of nutmeg with 1 teaspoon of honey, and mix them together. Apply them to your face and leave them for 20 minutes. Then, rinse it with cool water. Use it twice a week.
Citrus Blackhead Treatment
Removing blackheads can easily be done with lemon. Citrus is naturally exfoliate, which makes lemon useful when it comes to fighting blackheads in your cleansing routine. Cut the lemon in half then rub it directly on your face before going to bed.
You can also extract lemon juice with a citrus reamer, remove the seeds and then add 2 tablespoons of rosewater. Mix the lemon juice and rosewater together and your tonic will be more fragrant.

They are here
Hello everyone,
So in the course of three days I received three UPS packages and I love packages. First I received my camcorder, which I had sent into the company to be repaired, so yeah!!! I can make videos with my video camcorder now!
Then second I received the Nixie professional pallet which came with 2 powder blush refills: "small talk" and "elegance". It had 4 mineral eye shadows refills; "starlight", "city", "visage", and "stevie". So excited to try these colors out. My only dilemma is once i set them in the pallet I dont remember the names of the refill.
I also received my "%100 Pure" package from Hautelook, I had ordered the 6-piece Fruit Pigmented Strawberry Box and the 8-piece Fruit pigmented Color cosmetics box. So awesome and I cant wait to try out %100 Pure vegan products.

Three Custom Color Specialist
Step by Step Bridal Makeup from Three Custom Color Specialists
Face:
Begin by creating a smooth, flawless canvas. Cleanse the skin and moisturize well. Once your moisturizer has had a chance to absorb, begin to Conceal.
Conceal - apply our Creme Concealer where you need it. Start in the center of the face and blend outward with a sponge. With the Concealer Brush, apply around the eyes, nose and lips. Always place the brush first where you need it most and blend outward.
Set - with our soft face powder puff, press face powder into the skin to set the concealer. If you want face powder with coverage, try our #'s 1-5. No coverage, use our Translucent Powder.
Eyes:
Base shade - should be applied all over the eye with the All-Over Blending Brush. Liner Shade - Wet the Pointed Eye Liner Brush and apply your Liner shade along the upper lash line. Keep any lining under the eye to a minimum. Allow to dry. ** pencil liner could also be used here
Crease Shade - Buff out the liner (to soften it) with the Countour brush and apply the same shade (dry) in the outer third of the crease.
Highlight - Use the Detail Brush to dust the Highlihgting Shade on the brow bone on the highest point of the eye lid.
Line - Swipe Light or Dark Clarifier pencil on the inner rim of the eye to brighten and widen.
Lashes - Last step - mascara. Be sure to use waterproof!
Cheeks:
Highlight - with a fluffy brush, dust your high-lighting Eye Shadow shade to the upper cheek bone for definition and shine.
Color - Apply Marry Me Lip & Cheek Stain (in Cool or Warm) with the fingers. Focus on the apples and blend back towards the ears.
Contour - to create the illusion of a more prominnent cheek bone, apply a small amount of Cool or Warm Bronzer below the cheek bone. This can be used under the jaw line as well.
Glow - If you are feeling a little pale - with our face powder brush, generously dust our Bronzing Powder over the face, neck and decollete for a natural , healthy look.
Brow:
Brows should be well defined, but not too dark. Choose a brow powder the same shade as your hair or slightly lighter. Brush on lightly with Brow Brush or Spoolie Brush for more color. Use wet with Pointed Eye Liner Brush to fill in gaps, if necessary.
Apply clear brow gel to set the shape.
Lips:
Line - Follow the natural lip line with Cool or Warm Pink to define and to form a barrier for the lip color. Avoid re-shaping unless absolutely necessary!
Color - Apply one coat of Lip & Cheek Stain - be sure to blend well with the lip liner. Blot. Apply another coat of lipstick and blot lightly. This will ensure a solid seal of your base lip color. Apply lip gloss and eapply for shine when necessary.
