Q: Hi Sandy, Firstly I’d like to say I love love love your videos!!!…My question for you is, what’s the best order for putting on these products?…Primer, foundation, concealer, powder, cream blush? Does concealer go on my face before primer? Thanks for your help! (from: Christine)

what does your lipstick say about you?

August 13, 07

lipstick-quiz.jpgSo i was out shopping the other day for a lipstick with my older sister’s soon to be mother-in-law. We were trying to find a similar shade to her already existing (but almost finished) lipstick. When I asked her to take out her lipstick to show me the colour, she refused, because she had heard that the shape of your “used” lipstick can tell a lot about one’s personality…and she wasn’t sure if her’s was going to be good or bad! So, after getting a good laugh for about 6 and a half minutes, I promised her I would find her a quiz online so she could see if her lipstick shape actually does match her personality!!

Click here to see what your lipstick says about you! My lipsticks usually end up with a ‘Rounded’ tip, which says that I am easy going, a peacemaker, even tempered, steady, likeable and generous!! Let me know how it worked out for you! Read the rest of this entry »

100_1855-small.JPGHey Guys, sorry I haven’t posted in a few days, but I was getting ready for my nice relaxing trip out west! By relaxing, I mean eating m&m’s guilt free, and of course, tanning on the beach at least once!!

Right now I am on a beautiful Island off the coast of Vancouver called Salt Spring Island. I’m out here conducting a 2 day make.up training session for several local cosmeticians at Pharmasave. In case you haven’t heard of Pharmasave, it’s like a Shoppers Drug Mart, with it’s own little beauty boutique!

I’m also going to be bringing you a make.up video full of all the great new beauty finds and hot make.up products from Salt Spring Island!  So stay tuned! Read the rest of this entry »
