Straight up direct, no agency or SAG. If you’d like to be considered for a Carol’s Daughter instructional video, you can submit a photo first for consideration.
There have been a rash of blogs shutdown in the last week.
If your site was recently shut down, note that BlogLinker, a common link on many sites, was found to contain the Beagle worm. Even though your site is not hosting the malware, because the link to Bloglinker is on your site, you will be restricted access until it is removed/cleaned.
What to do?
1. Delete the link
2. Scan your site with one of many software choices available such as Avast, AVG, ZoneAlarm. There are free versions for all of these products if buying is a problem.
3. Once you confirm your site is clean, contact your host site to begin process of reinstating your blog.
Be patient (it may take 24 hours or more to fix the problem) and your site may have been infected further. Be persistent and clear with your information to support to help resolve the issue. Good luck!
Forget all of the stories coming out about redheads feeling more pain, because you will be the only one hurting if you don’t jump on fall’s most accessible trend.
Red heads are back, and we are talking explosive, take no prisoners red.
Hair highlighting hunk Jason Backe of Ted Gibson Salon was on Twin Cities Live today and did three makeovers using store bought product. The result? Affordable glam!
Apparently his second model made a last minute switch from Lindsey Lohan red to Amy Adams. How did it turn out? Check out the footage and be inspired to get red and go home.

Look who’s baaaaaaaaak (here’s my previous meet with Tim Gunn)
Project Runway hits new station Lifetime this Thursday! And as if there isn’t enough catfighting amongst designers, the show is going to hit up the catwalk by featuring Models of the Runway.
The behind the scenes extra expands on the stress seen in previous seasons the models have to endure as mere figurines for trading. The models are trying to win a coveted spot too!
I am a fiend for lip glosses, and Dior Ultra Gloss Reflect is one of the top brands out there that just do. it. for. me.
My current favorite is Lurex Plum, a taupe/plum filled with shimmer without being gritty. The brush allows for easy pull from the bottle, and superior accuracy in application. The color is so flattering.
Upon application, it is a very unique look, completely smoothing out the lips. I find this product doesn’t migrate and lasts quite a long time for a simple gloss. It has low stick and extreme shine. For wear, I tend to wipe all gloss off before eating anyway, but it performs well when drinking from a straw. By the time it is ready for re-application, there still remains a soft shade and some sparkle.
I love applying this gloss.
Just a note, but I would try these out before you buy. While all of the colors were pretty, I could see how many of them would be too transparent once put on the lips. I think that is one reason Lurex Plum is so fab, because it seems to be a coat of shimmering latex. Very obvious.
Dior makes glossing divine with product and stunning packaging. Select cream or shimmer (I prefer the unique shine myself) at Sephora.
While in the loveliest of chocolate boutiques on a trip, I went for a gift pack, only to get slapped on the hand by my friend.
“Ewww,” she said. “Always select your chocolates individually. It is more personable, and always fresher.”
I have smart friends, no?
In that same vein, extend that philosophy out to everything in life. I wish I was noshing on a few of those truffles while I admit to you that I have never been a cosmetic kit girl. In my experience, quads and groupings always meant colors that mixed small samples of hits in with product that couldn’t be sold individually.
Preference, meet Downfall.
Too Faced is no stranger to kits, but the one that caught my eye was the Natural Eyes. Every color in here is phenomenal. The quality is good. The packaging attractive. And hey, they even give you 3 look cheat sheets for a guide.
One of my favorite colors I’ve discovered is Heaven, a lash to brow bone matte, that brings a velvety smoothness to the skin. The ultimate reason to grab a good kit? You’ll be trialing colors you would probably never have picked up on your own. Take time to explore.
Life, and makeup, is like a box of chocolates. Stick with quality, and it might not matter if you don’t know what you’re getting.
Natural Eyes has a companion Smokey Eye for the ultimate night looks.
