Smooth it out! Mid winter lip fix.

Hey Bettys!!

Time springs forward this weekend (finally).. Spring is coming but the winter cold is still going hard! 


My lips have truely been weathered this year. How about you? Lips like these sometimes require a little extra tlc. 

Here's a tip or two for keeping your pout smooth and kissably soft. 


Creat a hydrating scub with a bit of Shea Butter and raw Brown Sugar. Gently use the mix to exfoliate the lips. Remove excess with a damp cloth. This gets your lips hydrated and smooth. Ready to go for your lipstick wear. 

On the go and a bit flaky? No excuse for that! 
 Grab the nearest sugar packet.. Dab sugar over your lip butter, balm or gloss. Use your fingertips to gently exfoliate your lips.. Remove with a damp paper towel and reapply your lip balm, butter or gloss.. Not only will this bring a natural flush of color to the surface of the lip, but it will also keep your lip fix from caking up on you. 


Smooth it out!! 

Enjoy

Pull it together, pour yourself a drink and apply lipstick.



Definitely one if those days... But I hold it together! Life gets bitter at times.. But you've got to taste it! Don't waste it! Even  when it makes you gag.

Our time here is limited... Make it beautiful

Hello Bettys!!

I live the life of a full time freelance Makeup Artist.. Even when I'm not working.. Believe me I am working! My down time is no time to get comfortable and slack.. 


Off of one gig and on to the next.. Always working in the set up.. Not just for the now.. But for my future as well.. Our time is so limited isn't it?? Make it beautiful. 



My makeup of the day: all MAC products.. Comment if you'd like the tea on what I used! 




 Good night.. Maybe

Be a Betty..

Hey Betty's 

Let me explain :



If you're following.. Reading.. Or even just looking.. Chances are you're a Betty like me.. Either that or someone else trying to crack the code. 

Be the best version of you.. And work on that everyday! 

What?! There ain't no more to it!


High shine and a long wearing mani.. Without the crazy UV light?! I'm in!

Hey Betty's! 

Happy Friday.. Really everyday is a celebration though.. 

Friday doesn't mark the end to my anything.. Except maybe the school bus hustle with my son. I still feel a little kick back going through my veins though.

Today, I scored some goodies from Butter London.. You know, the backstage, gone front stage nail polish brand? 

Wait now! Their New Patent-Gel Top & Tails!!! It's their innovative UV less gel set. 
It's my new key to a long wearing mani! No more mid week and Friday night polish changes. 


Excuse me.. I have some primping to do! 
*grins ear to ear*

I couldn't agree more.. Do what feels good to your soul!! 



At the end of the day.. You have to please you! Don't complain, don't explain.
