Before & After (and a peek into a red carpet suite)

 Here's me AFTER: and what I'm wearing is, what I threw together after I realized I didn't like anything I had to put on! ha ha ha
WHAT I HAVE ON:
A vintage-looking, jacket I got a Dillard's, on sale for $20....an old vinage rhinestone brooch and vintage earrings, my mom got me for Christmas (they are clip-ons, look how red my ears got from them in the pics below! ha ha ha), and a cool rocker-esque, rhinestone and studded, faux-fur clutch from Imoshion. You can't see my shoes, but they were the Gabbor shoe from Steve Madden. (very vintage looking)

 This was me BEFORE, no make-up or hair, waiting in the HBO Luxury Lounge, in the L'Oreal Paris Beauty Suite...so many celebs were in there, from all the shows on HBO to Chuy from Chelsea Handler to Tina Fey and all the people from that show, True Blood, which I've never seen..ha ha ha
I was hoping Gwen Stefani would walk in while I was there, since she's in L'Oreal commercials!

 This is what the gift bags looked like.....it was so funny, everyone was talking about how the smell of Elnett Hairspray reminds them of their moms getting all glammed up when they were little!

 I was instantly in love with all the gold chairs and furniture! Makes me wonder if I should've gone with a gold couch instead of hot pink!?!

 The lights were even made out of lipstick tubes! I love it! How creative are they!

 Look at the Mani/Pedi area.....i just want those chairs!

 A peek at the Make-Up Artists table.

 Me after the amazing, celebrity hair stylist, Johnny Lavoy did my hair! I said, do whatever you want"...and he made this amazingly, fun, rocker, chic updo!

 The sweet, Kristee Liu (and yes, we both loved that we are "K" names that end in "ee")...did my make-up in the beauty suite too! It was so fun to have someone else do  my make-up.

 Me and Johnny Lavoy at the L'oreal party.....with his hair, that everyone was asking how I did it- which I just pointed to Johnny!

I saw some "beauty" friends there....Maxine who own Vanity Girl Hollywood, that makes the most amazing vanity mirrors! And we were posing with Jeffrey Paul, who is a friend and celebrity make-up artist, posing as the Godfather! He is so funny...we laughed so hard the entire time! Neither me, nor Jeff drink, and I think we had more fun than all the people who were drinking! ha ha ha

and here is the most after of them all picture....me after I took my hair down and took off my "clip-on" earrings...that hung on for dear life on my red ears!

Let me know if you guy want me to upload a video of the make-up I'm doing for tonight?

so excited...don't forget I'll be tweeting live, all about what I see! yay!

huge and fancy hair, your kandee

My First Day After The Brazilian Butt Lift

DAY 1- after my first Brazilian Butt Lift Workout.....
OH MY Portugese!
And no, my "boom boom", does NOT LOOK like the girl on the cover of the dvd's boom boom! YET,  I will add a big, giant ,YET on the end of that statement!

This was the workout I did, the High & Tight....
and let me tell you, even thought  this workout sounds like you are only going to be working you "seat warmer"....my arms were so sore that every time I moved them I felt muscled I forgot were there.

I couldn't even finish one of the moves....my muscles were like, "ummm, no...we're done for today!"....

I used to run and workout everyday but since the only workout I've done since baby is walking down the hallway (ha ha ha), no wonder I'm so sore.

But if you wanna see the reason I wanted to to try this, look at their before & afters here. They are crazy, and gives me hope that...my "seat cushion" can have a nice "Brazilian Bum Bum After" too! Plus I really like the guy's accent in the video and how he says "boom boom"! ha ha ha

Boom Boom, kandee

 Ok, as we know...the Naked Palette 2 seems like it just launched and sent everyone trying to get one for Christmas....and now Urban Decay is ready to ring in the New Year by bringing in some new goodies!

Get ready....these first babies are awesome...I'll tell you why in a sec....but first they've added 4 NEW shades to the 24/7 Glide On Concealer Pencils making it a full set of 8 shades in ALL, but these are the newest in the medium to deeper shades!

from left to right:
*ATF- medium dark golden beige
*DOD- dark/warm tan
*KGB- darker / golden caramel
*M16 - deepest cocoa

I LOVE THESE- here's why-

BEAUTY TIP TIME:

TIP #1. Got a BLEMISH- hide it with these.

Dab some  Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer on the blemish, then go over it with the concealer pencil and it'll be as good as gone...and covered for 24+ hours baby!

TIP #2- CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT YOUR FACE LIKE A PRO

Draw On Your Face To CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT

I took DEA (light peaches and cream color)

&

M16 (deepest cocoa)

And used them as "contouring crayons" & "highlighting sticks".....

HIGHLIGHT AREAS-

down the center of the nose

under the eyes

under the brows

right above the curve up the top lip (to make lips look fuller)

CONTOUR (darker areas)

side of the forehead/ temples

own the sides of the nose (to slenderize and straighten)

above chin and below lower lip (to make lips look full)

in the hollow of the cheeks

END RESULT:

dimensional, contoured and highlighted! YAY!

NEXT UP:

24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils in 3 NEW SHADES

They are waterproof, super pigmented- you better smudge fast, because after 30 seconds of dry time these babies aren't going anywhere!

 from left to righty: (these babies have only been available in gift sets- but not anymore due to the huge demand for these babies to be sold on their own!)
WOODSTOCK- hot pink (fuschia shimmer with micro glitter) this was in the 15 year set...and was one of the most wanted colors! Yes, finally you can put this hot pink on your eyes OR lips!
DEMOLITION- a deep, darkest, matte brown
PERVERSION - matte , blackest carbon black (blacker than Zero)
I have the Perversion Eyeliner on in the picture above too!

The 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils come in 26 shades total and one of the greatest things about these is they are packed with nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E, Jojoba and Cotton Seed Oil. Goodie Goods!
WHERE TO BUY: These babies and the concealer pencils are available at Sephora, ULTA, and select Macy's Stores. Or online at Sephora.com, ulta.com, macys.com, beauty.com or urbandecay.com

right - LOVE CHILD- cool pink (creme finish)

These babies are packed with opaque, long-lasting color with anti-feathering, mega-watt shine in a cute chubby pencil.

The ingredients are formula are so delicate, they's get squished in a lipstick form, so safe inside the pencil, these lippy lovies are ready to say "hey we don't have mineral oil or paraffin in us", just pure plant derivatives to hydrate, protect and rejuvenate the delicate skin on your lips!

WHERE TO BUY: These lovelies are only going to be available at Sephora.com

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT PICTURE * FACEBOOK  * TWITTER * MY YOUTUBE

4 Ways To Look Good In The Morning

Ok, you guys may think this is a joke....
You may be thinking, "she calls that picture looking good, yeah right! More like, brush your hair, puffy face!".....ha ha ha ha
But this is what I call, bravely posting a picture of my self straight after, brushing my teeth in the morning.

#1. The fastest way to "looking good" in the morning is to brush that funk off your teeth!
-yeah sure this may not necessarily help your looks...but I don't care how pretty someone is, if they have stank-breath...it's just hard to ever forget that stench-memory.


#2. Go to sleep with a full face of make-up on.
ha ha ha ha....ok, so you might wake up with at least one of your eyes still wearing that winged eyeliner, and only half of your face, not rubbed off on your, now, gross looking pillow. But hey...some mascara might have still, clung on.
-actually it just makes my skin feel, dirty, dry and like bacteria is just cooking up a big platter of, blemishes for me. I suggest a fresh wash at bed time, treat your skin to a good moisturizer while you sleep, and my fav a coating of Alba Un-Petroleum, especially around the eyes, and you'll wake up with glowing hydrated, clear skin!


#3. Do not go to bed with damp hair-
This will, and I almost promise you, cause you to wake up looking like half your head is trying a Bob Marley natty dread look, and the other half could do a tutorial on Edward Scissorhand's hair.
~A tip, I used to do, take about a quarter size amount of olive oil, rub it together in your hands, and rub it through your hair, coating the ends really well. Wrap it on plastic wrap (so it doesn't get all over your pillow), and wash it out in your morning shower. That's how I kept the ends of my hair healthy when it was really long!

#4. The Good Night Kiss of Moisture
The last thing that should kiss your lips before you pack your beauty bags for dreamland is some good lip conditioning balm. Let those soup coolers of yours, plump of and soften all night with a good smathering of your fav lip balm. By my bed, I have a Treat Soft Candy Old Fashioned Jumbo Lip Balm in Vanilla Buttercream. It last you forever, tastes like cotton candy, and is 100% all natural- I'm a   lip balm fanatic and have been since I was in the Bonne Bell LipSmackers club when I was about 7, and this is the best lip balm ever!

And pretty much every guy, much to my "are you serious-ness?", has said they like me, and pretty much all girls without make-up on. Now, most guys have no clue how much make-up a girl has on, even when she looks like she's wearing make-up. I remember my highschool boyfriend once saying, "I love how you don't wear any make-up"....I wasn't sure if that should be a compliment or not, I mean, I put make-up on...could he not tell, was there not enough on, what was wrong...I just chalked it up to, "oh well, maybe he just thinks I'm naturally pretty!"...
Well, I once dated a guy, who was an artist, who loved to watch me put my make-up on. He would ask if he could watch me put my make-up on, because he said it was like watching art. I thought that  was romantic, artsy, and what, girl doesn't mind having a guy like you so much that he'd want to admire you putting make-up on. Instead of hearing a guy complain and ask why it takes you so long! ha ha ha "hey man, pretty doesn't wake up pretty sometimes! I might wake up feeling pretty, but then I walk by the mirror!" ha ha ha ha ha
