Marilyn Monroe Birthday and Beauty Secrets

Marilyn Monroe would have been 86 years old today.
She is a Hollywood Icon. And her look would still have been classic timeless today as it was back then!

In honor of Marilyn Monroe's birthday....I wanted to share with you guys my 2 favorite Marilyn Monroe make-up tutorials and some of her beauty secrets and tips (she had tons, but here's just some of my favs, in these videos)

And my favorite part is the end with the cardboard hands! ha ha ha

One of my favorite Marilyn Monroe quotes~

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” - Marilyn Monroe

Did you ever own a pair of these babies!?

This is a Flojo. Pronouned: FLO-HOE

 I had a pair of these when I was little. They may look goofy, but they are as comfortable as a slipper and and squishy as a cloud. Now they are not as goofy looking as some other shoe trends I've seen! ha ha ha

But I'm contemplating buying another pair and making them cool again! ha ha ha
I don't know if these were as popular on the East Coast as they were on the West Coast- they were a popular "beach shoe".

If you feel your feet are hankering for some soft, cushiony, rubbery, foot heaven....you can help me bring back the Flojo too!

Me and my sister would joke and say it: Flo-joe...just to be funny, But that's about at right as calling a  TORTILLA (tor-tee-ya) a, TOR-TIL-UH.

and for those that are more into sleek black shoes....
ka-blow!
may I present FLOJO in black....tres chic, eh!??

and they are only like $21 dollars- see I found em HERE.

Would you rock the Flojo with KanJo? But you have to pronounce the J....KAN-JOE....not, KAN-HOE...that sounds bad. Very bad.

And my mom loves these because she can't stand wearing anything between her toes! ha ha ha Maybe that's why she bought them for me and my sis when we were little?!?

summer sandal time, KanJo (in this case, we are not defaulting to the Spanish J sound...ha ha ha)

The NOSE of BEAUTY- " JUST SMELL IT!"

Ok...as you all know. I always choose beauty products by 3 things. (in no particular order)
#1. How well they work.
#2. Their ingredients and how they are made.
#3. How they smell.
I don't like to wear things that stink. Who does?!? SO I want to smell like rotting something-or-other....no thanks.

So, since, in the video I uploaded yesterday I talked about some stinky beauty products and beauty products that I know some women refuse to wear because they smell so bad- I thought it would be fun to ask you guys 2 QUESTIONS:

#1. WHAT IS THE WORST SMELLING MAKE-UP PRODUCT YOU'VE EVER SMELLED?


#2. WHAT IS THE BEST SMELLING PRODUCT YOU'VE TRIED?

 Just off the top of your head..what the last good and bad smellers, that you've tried!

I'll tell you mine:

#1. The worst one, recently has to be that SMASHBOX lipgloss. It smelled awful! I could not imagine wearing that underneath my nose- for any amount of time, I don't care how pretty the color was! ha ha ha OR certain mascaras smell gross to me, I can't think of them off the top of my head because I won't wear the stinky ones, but some have a certain ingredient that makes them smell badsville. Or if we went all out "beauty anything"...once my friend has this "placenta hair treatment"- it smelled to bad I thought I was going to throw up!

#2. Best smelling one would probably go to hmmmmm, I do love the light vanilla scent that MAC lipstick and lipglasses have. And any of the TREAT BEAUTY lip balms, I just want to eat them!

Wouldn't that be weird if they made scented eyeshadow?! ha ha ha ha OK, now comment below your stinkiest and yummiest smelling beauyt products.

 MY FRESHEST, SPARKLIEST YOUTUBE VIDEO

New video and special filming location! Enjoy!

Are you ready! I have a first for you guys!
Here's is a brand sparklin' new video!
I was helping my sister through her labor and delivery of her new baby last week, going to and from the hospital, and dealign with the worst allergies I've ever had- my eyes were so swollen and sore and itchy, I couldn't even put make-up on my face! ha ha ha
BUT finally here is the "SHOP and TELL" (AKA haul) video from what I got my very first time in an ULTA store. An ULTA is kinda like a SEPHORA, except they have drugstore brands, like NYX and L'Oreal make-up to some fancier brnads like Urban Decay, Nars, and Benefit, but not all the higher end brands of make-up like MAKE-UP FOREVER or super fancy like Dior.

But here's what I got! I was so excited for some of this stuff, but some just bombed out! You'll see! ha ha ha And you 'l see why I only have nail polish on one hand! ha ha ha

It feels like I haven't posted a video in years! ha ha ha And it was just one week!

So watch and enjoy my special "filming location" also!
(PS if you click on the youtube logo in the lower right hand corner, you can watch it bigger!)


yay for new videos, kandee

How- I-wore-my-makeup-in-high-school...

I thought I would give you guys a fun treat because:
A. I was at my gramma's yesterday and was looking at her family photo albums and found this
B. Look at my eyebrows that had never been touch by a tweezer or anything- they are so thick and just straight across! ha ha ha ha
C. That is how I did my make-up every day in high school- except in this picture I wore a darker lip color than I normally did! Normally is was light pink or just clear gloss!

I think I was about 15 in this picture...
Awww, look at my lil' baby face...ha ha ha ha

older and with not so big eyebrows, kandee

PS. My allergies have been so bad, that my eyes were so swollen and sore, the guy at whole foods said he didn't even recognize me! ha ha ha But I do have a fun "shop n' tell" to upload- I'll try to get it up tomorrow!

Oh My Mexican and Saturday Random!

 Special "Food-ition" of my Saturday Random 5:
This was my lunch yesterday in Santa Barbara, at Los Gallos- it's off of Mission on De La Vina, and it was deliciousness on a plate!

#1. I love MEXICAN FOOD!
(above is the Chicken Flautitas, like regular Flautas but smaller, with guacamole and sourcream and some hot salsa I didn't try)

#2. I am part Mexican.

#3. I do not like hot spicy food, though.

#4. I will eat too many homemade tortilla chips and salsa any time they are in front of me. I can't help it.

#5. My sister used to joke that my Mexican name would be, instead of Dulce, which is the translation for candy, Lupe...and she would call me, Loop De Loop! She still sometimes does and it cracks me up!

Besos y abrazos (kisses and hugs), Kandee

Make-up with Allergies

UGH! Allergies are not on my "like" list. It feels like I have mosquito bites on the inner corners of my eyes! This is the make-up I put on...ha ha ha ha or more like the "missing make-up"...
All I put on was some concealer, a little powder, and mascara...but I think I had rubbed it off by this picture..and my lipgloss ran away too!

This is the face I want to make when my eyes are itchy! ha ha ha ha

My right eye feels like I got punched in it!

 I hear it's allergy season and other people have been saying that allergies are really bad this year.
And so this is how the makeup look I'm going with. If I put any eyeliner or anything else on, it just gets rubbed off and looks bad! ha ha ha

 And if I don't put my eyedrops in....(I got Similisan Allergy Eye Drops at Whole Foods, that have worked wonders for my eyes!)...I want to scratch my eyes like this!

But...as I type this my eyes are totally itch free and I have happy eyeballs! Hooray!
It's just made is virtually impossible to film a make-up tutorial- the skin around my eyes has been so tender, swollen and sore! But I do have an ULTA shop and tell (AKA haul) on the way!!!!

Huge eyes, I mean hugs, kandee
