Top 3 Make-Up "Looks" Guys Seem To Hate

Now, I don't care if guys like my make-up or not...I don't care if guys like my clothes or not. For most of my life, I've worn clothes that are more "tomboy-ish" or not anything that girls typically wear to attract guys. I just wear what I like and what makes me feel happy, comfortable and confident.
However I thought it was interesting to see what guys "think" is unattractive about women and their make-up. So here is the very interesting,
TOP 3 THINGS THAT MOST  GUYS HATE ABOUT MAKE-UP (and I emphasize "most", because I've dated guys and know guys that love girls with artfully applied make-up-in any color and any amount. I even had a boyfriend years and years ago, that always wanted to watch me put my make-up on, because he said it was like watching a painter paint!):

#1. RED LIPS
Guys don't seem to be fans of any red, dark, red, or bright colored lips while we're at it! But as I've asked, the problem seems that they wouldn't want it smeared all over them if they were to steal a kiss. So in their mind it isn't attractive.
MY OPINION: Yeah, yeah, I've known guys that can't stand red lips- for the very reason above, but I like it, I think it's classic and old Hollywood. And for the same reason, I used to wear combat boots and long hot pink skirts- I didn't get dressed with pleasing a guy in mind! ha ha ha

#2. LOTS OF FOUNDATION
Again, this goes back to the- "I don't want their face smeared all over my shirt" theory.
MY OPINION: I kinda agree with guys- you want to even out skin tone, not look like you have a new layer of thick, pastey skin. ha ha ha
My boyfriend in high school said: "I love that you don't wear any make-up!"...and I thought, "hey what did I do wrong, he can't even tell I put make-up on!?!"...but that was a good thing. And I only wore mascara, maybe eyeliner and some form of nude or pearl lipgloss from Cover girl!

#3. BOLD EYESHADOW COLOR
Turn out fun colored eyeshadow scares guys! ha ha ha I think it depends on the application too. If I wore the purple shadow from lashline to eyebrows, that might scare me too! ha ha ha
MY OPINION: I think bold colors are fun...and just because guys might like it if girls walked around in bikinis everywhere, you won't catch me in one of those either! ha ha ha
And if you want to see how to get my "purple eye" above watch this: (you might just meet a guy that loves purple eyes!) ha ha ha ha


MY FEMALE OPINION:
Don't dress to impress guys. Dress to impress you. Dress to feel great in your own individual style. You want to end up with a guy that loves you and your style anyway.
And still, quite contrary to my own opinion- almost every guy I've ever dated since high school and beyond has said they still like me with no make-up on. hmmmm What can I say, maybe they're a little cray cray! ha ha ha

I remember when I chopped off all my hair, it was kinda awesome, because I didn't get any of those "hey, how you doin'" guys ever looking at me, I got more artsy, creative guys that liked my hair because it was different. I didn't care if guys thought I was cute or attractive. I liked it. And that's why all women should get ready to make themselves feel great! By the way....I love my hair long too because I can do more styles with it....but I some days I just wanna chop it all off- and be able to get ready super fast again! ha ha ha

Please feel free to share with us all, any other "guy dislikes" you've ever heard from guys about girls beauty...at least we can all be amused together!

Not afraid to wear neon color lipstick, even if an army of guys hate it...ha ha ha ha, your kandee

Fun Ways to Store Lipsticks or Jewelry

I love fun ways to store make-up or jewelry.

I think it's fun if your make-up table, dresser, or looks like fun boutique with your lipsticks, mascara, eyeshadows, rings, or earrings displayed in cute and fun ways like this!

It will make you feel like you have your own little "beauty boutique" or "glam boudoir" to get ready in.

 I saw these little, delicate, girly, vintage looking dish type things at Target...and they said, "Put me in your cart...we want to come home with you!"...so I did.
And I love, love, love the green giant "jack"....my great gramma has a giant "jack" that is a doorstop...she's had it for many years. It's an antique and it reminds me of being little at her house. And when I saw this green one, it had to come live at my house.

And once again, I find treasures I treasure at the treasureland I call Target!

I will be storing either my earrings and rings in these babies...or I will be storing some of my favorite lipsticks, lipglosses or mascaras in these...not sure which yet! But they will make my "getting ready" area that much prettier!

huge hugs and fun treasure dishes, your kandee

The Most Popular Car Colors for Your Nails!

 Did you know that the world's most popular car colors for 2011 (according to the DuPont Automotive Car Color Report) were:

1st place:

White/ Pearl White & Silver were tied

2nd place:

Black / Black Effect

I didn't even realize this until I thought about some of by favorite-of-all-time, go to nail polish colors that I've loved since I first bought nail polishes and they seem like same colors as all the cars I've ever had! ha ha ha (well, my very first car was a truck, that was kinda silvery-blue)

I've always loved white (no pearl, just plain white), black, and silver! They make any manicured, polished nails, have a little edge, a little modern edge, and can't help but feel a little rock n' rolly and tough.

So I was enticed by the beautiful display of Zoya nail polishes at Whole Foods....I also love them because they are toxin-free nail polishes! (No formaldehyde - yay!)
how fun would it be to have this whole wall too choose from!?!?

I already own the Zoya (white nail polish) in Purity, but I bought the RAVEN, which is black with a slight metallic look and TRIXIE, which is an awesome, tin, metallic silver!

And for the second week in a row they were sold out of the Anchor Base Coat, which I have been really wanting to try because everyone has raved about it. So I just bought the Get Even base coat!

And know hopefully with my basecoat, my nails will be as tough as a Hummer,  glossy as car paint,   sleek as a sports car, as shiny as chrome, and cool as a hot rod!

here's to nail polish colors that even guys will love, your kandee

The Ugly Side Of Beauty

I always joke that sometimes people in the beauty world, have some of the ugliest attitudes! Sure they might be in the biz of making others look beautiful, but they do not do this with their attitudes!

Walking around in LA, can make you feel bad. Everywhere you look, it's mostly really attractive, thin, beautiful people. From your waiter or waitress to the people sitting next to you eating. Most people look like models, actresses or someone sort of something that requires you to be beautiful.

BUT....I must remind you, this is the town that was famous for creating movies with fake fronts...fake streets, fake houses, fake towns. Yep, any movie studio, used to have little areas, old west towns that looked real in the front, but behind the fake front was, just a bunch of things to hold of the fake looking front.

And sometimes that's how these people are. They look great on the outside- perfect hair, perfect bodies, perfect clothes but their only beauty is on the outside.

It's like looking at a big fancy house, but when you walk inside it's a dump, full of spiders, snakes, and there's no rooms, just an empty basement looking room that's dark and depressing.

I've met people that are very beautiful on the outside and that's how they are, like the fake house- pretty on the outside but how rude, mean and selfish they are makes them so ugly on the inside, no amount of make-up or plastic surgery will truly make them "beautiful people".

I once had a person in LA, tell me I smile too much, and that I'm going to have so many smiles wrinkles because I'm always smiling.
My great-great Grandma, said you can tell how happy someone is, by the wrinkles on their face from smiling and laughing.  That just made me want to smile more...I don't care about my smile lines. I care about how my smile might brighten someone's day.

The most "can't keep your eyes off them", people, are the ones with "plus size" hearts, real life personalities, they love others more than themselves, they smile more, they don't go around saying rude and sarcastic things all the time. They are joys to be around, people miss them when they aren't in the room because they bring a sense of love and happiness, that lots of people lack now.

I've seen models and actresses that are very pretty..but only on the outside. Their attitude was awful, rude and selfish and their only beauty was seen with the eyes. Truly beautiful people's beauty can be felt in a dark room where you can't even see them, you can feel their beauty by the love they make you feel.

My most beautiful friends have:
the biggest hearts...
not the smallest size jeans
not the biggest size bra
not the fanciest handbag or shoes
but a kind smile, a way of making others feel special by caring, and laughing and enjoy life with others- no laughing and making fun OF others.

I hope today you feel less pressure to be thin, wish you had a different nose or teeth or skin, or wish you looked more like your favorite star...
because you can be the most beautiful person where ever you go...because it's your heart that is beautiful, not your "outside"...that is going to get old and wrinkly no matter what!


"The most beautiful people are the ones that make others feel beautiful, loved, and give smiles away easily!"

huge hugs, smiles, and your beauty is just waiting to shine to the world today, i love ya, kandee

Outfit Of The Day: Winter at the Beach

 With my cutest accessory, little Cupcake (not her real name..ha ha ha)..at the beach in Southern California...I just had to walk on the sand for just a few minutes. I didn't need to spend the day there, or even hours, just a few minutes to feel the sand under my feet, play with the sand in our hands, and take in how amazing and peaceful it is to watch the ocean and the waves.

 Plus, it was hot and about 95% of all the other females I saw were super tan and in bikinis...except for me and my pale, clothes self. ha ha ha But here's what I had on:
*black stretch skinny jeans
*long, loose black tank top (i think I got at Brass Plum- the younger women's department at Nordstom)
*belted with my super old black belt with silver rings, that I got a Ross like 80,000 years ago
*black fringe cuff I got at a costume/vintage store  on Melrose, I think it was American Vintage
*black jelly bracelets, my watch and my huge turquoise rock ring that I just got at a store in the mall that was going out of business
*and my chain necklace, I made like 10 years ago out of some scrap piece of chain I got somewhere
*beach essential sandal- I love Havaiana flip-flops in purple for a pop of color

 I love palm trees

 And my make-up of the day was:
~nude pink mouth with pink shimmer eye shadow dabbed on the center of the lips
~grey-blue smokey eye - that I watched this smokey eye TUTORIAL to remember how I did it! ha ha

I really miss living by the beach...and I enjoyed every single second  we got to stand on the beach! Even if it was only for 5 minutes!

wishing we could all be sitting on the beach together today, typing this not near the sand...(ha ha ha)...

your kandee

PS. what's your favorite color flip flop and winter fun toe nail color!?!

I went with a "neon kelly green-turquoise"!
