So Long, Farwell!

 YES my journey with pulchritude is over....I know what you all must be thinking... What! NO!.... right? he he. Well I'm stopping bc I have many other things popping up in my life right now that seems to need more of my focus (all of it). I just want to say its been great sharing my girly hobbies with you, I've had lots of fun, really! And I want everyone to know, I'm not just leave you out in the cold! You still have my email! and guess what? you can email when every you have a beauty question or something you found interesting that you wanted to share with another beauty addict (me). I'll keep you updated its not like I'm stopping this beauty madness (that will always be apart of me). Its just that, that everything with a begging also has a end. Please understand that life has taken me to places I never thought I'd be and it's time to stop the old and get in with the new!

Remember I'm always here! Tinkpink2009@aol.com

PS will be deleting Pulchritude @ the end of the month! Please don't leave comments but send me emails if you have anything to say!

LOVE YAH!!!

Rise and Shine?

I've noticed when I wake up in the morning for school it's just too early to worry about how much makeup I'm going to wear that day. I just keep it simple at school and if I go out that night the more I glamour up (I'm like that on the weekends). Don't get me wrong I do sometimes daring things with my makeup, but most of the time its just plain and simple.
 
Anyone do the same?

Secret of Mine

Well I really hope everyone had a great Christmas and remembered that the reason for the season is Jesus. But anyway The tile of this entry is not exactly about a secret I've been keeping from you, really I've been meaning to write about it here in Pulchritude.

 

I have found the best, most wonderful eyeshadow you can get in stores and I'm not talking about sophora or a department store I mean a wall-mart or a wallgreens! Physicians Formula, I doubt is a unfamiliar cosmetic line for most of you. It is one of the more expensive store bought makeup and one of the best. I must tell you I haven't tried much of their cosmetics and the stuff I have tried I love! And there is one I really like. So let me get to the point! Baked Collection Wet-Dry Eyeshadow  9 different shadow quads with 3 colors in each that have cute names like "Baked Sugar" "Baked Butter" "Baked Spices" and my favorite "Baked Berries". These shadows glide on and stay on wet or dry. I had a hard time finding a eyeshadow that could be used wet and not just dry. When using the colors dry it's nice for the day time when using the colors wet it's nice for the night. Colors become more like paint when wet (instead of powder when dry) that made it stand out more on lids.

Sugar Sugar lip toppings

Oh! look at this sweet treat for you lips! This is a very cute gift idea for your girls (but not out until January of 07). This sparkly powder is what they call "lip toppings". Sprinkle just a little on you favorite lipgloss to make your lips even more sweeter. I really can't wait till this is out in stores...I'm a little shady about the price ($15) but I still may just buy it.

 

 

Sugar Sugar lip toppings, Revlon.

Revlon is really starting to get in to the grove...What do you think? Will Revlon keep coming out with sweet girly products?

TV Beauties

*~Well last night was the night America's Next Top Model was announced. "The Battle of The Blondes" CariDee and Melrose .. I was happy that CariDee did make it but I don't think one person really deserved it. Melrose was a little rough around the edges, very mean at times and CariDee was always feeling sorry for herself and a little consumed in herself. But I'm hopping to see this "Top Model" will actually be a top model. You watch the episode and go "Wow America's Next Top Model" but is she really? I don't think so I never see the girls form the past seasons on the fount of magazines except with Tyra for one cover on Seventeen and that's the end. It seems to me its not worth it, reality shows are just not reality.

 

 

*~Did you also catch Victoria's Secret Fashion show on CBS @ 10 Wednesday? It was awesome! They were all very beautiful with the barely there outfits! Justin Timberlake also there to sing his two hit songs Bring Sexy Back and My Love. I'm sure it will be on again, make sure to watch it!

Latest Obbsesions

Tom Ford's Black Orchid- this is not for the weak... Powerful fragrance has very little sugar and a whole lot of spice, to me it's very nice (lol like my rime?). Can I say... a very grown up smell? I think a woman who is confident & sure of herself would wear this daring fragrance. It reminds me of a dark an stary night in the city, alluring and dangerous.
 
With Love by Hillary Duff-  This perfume is for all ages. Women seem to love it just as much as girls. The bottle is what gets me it's so classy and sophisticated the smell is the same but playful and warm hearted. This fragrance is love, not just the love you feel for that certain person, but also the love of family and friends. What a great perfume to wear during holidays!

Got a Get It In The Bag

I don't know about you but here in Ohio the weathers been great...but I feel it in the air that the icy cold will be here soon (to soon), so we must all get ready.

things to always keep in your purse during the cold season.

 

  1. Chapstick: I have heard myths about chapstick being addictive. "Chapstick has alcohol to purposely keep lips dry for the user to buy more hopping that, that chapstick will help their poor suffering chapped lips." I do believe this has a truth to it, let me explain. I do not think someone could be addicted (well maybe if that person is like me and a makeup junkie and is addicted to it all), but truthfully alcohol is present in many chapstick (alcohol is used as a preservative), very little, but that doesn't make it addictive and it doesn't really make lips more chapped. For some, alcohol can and may irritate, making it harder to recover from dry, flaky lips. The best way to keep form getting chapped lips is to use an all natural lip balm or chapstick. Look for chapstick or lip balm that has no alcohol in the ingredients.
  2. Hand Lotion: Same goes for hand cream, you need an all natural product. I have found that all natural or mostly natural products work excellent on dry skin. natural oils like jojoba, olive and sunflower retain moisture. Again try to stay away from lotions containing alcohol. It may seem a bit hard to get your hands on them and more expensive to go this route, but look at this way you will feel better and your skin will look better all winter long.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to share this with you. I read it yesterday in Allure's magazine called Scents of Style. The article says
..."studies have found that pleasant orders can lift mood, leading to people being less critical, notes Hirsch, author of Life's a Smelly Success. Hirsch, is a guy who made the news- not to mention late-night TV...Several years ago when his study showed that the most appealing smells for men are pumpkin pie and lavender.".....
 
What do you think about that? Let me hear yah!
