Day and Night Neutrals Eye, Lip and Cheek Palette ($37.50)
Tips: For daytime, choose the pale pink or champagne eye shadow to brighten your eyes, sweep the pale pink blush on the apples of your cheeks for that fresh look and add a hint of color and shine with the nude or coral lip gloss.

For nighttime, use a pale eye shadow on the eyelid and to highlight the brow bone. Then, brush the dark eye shadow along the upper and lower lash lines toward the outer corner, using a sweeping motion and blend into the crease to create depth. Use the deep rose blush to contour the cheeks and finish with the mauve lip gloss for a sophisticated look.

My Most Meaningful Moment. Don’t forget to comment to be entered to win!

  

 

Share your most meaningful moment from the past year.

Life can be so hectic and busy sometimes I can feel like I am along for the ride but fail to embrace all the special moments. I have really enjoyed the MeaningFul Beauty discussion on finding our most meaningful moment.

When I look back on the last year my most meaningful moment has to be watching as my children have blossomed and grown. With three kids 7, 5, and 2 I got a little lost in the day to day grind and failed to appreciate the little moments.

Watching my oldest really master her reading skills and find she has a love and talent for soccer. Watching my second learn to ride without training wheels in one try and find he is very gifted at math. Thinking about my youngest and the fact he has learned to walk, start talking and hold his own in a house of 5. So much has happened in the last year and when I stop to think about all the great moments it reminds me of how blessed I am. 

Tell me what your most meaningful moment was in the last year for a chance to win one of 10 complete skin care Anti-Age Systems from Meaningful Beauty.

Keep your skin looking great in every moment with Meaningful Beauty- Cindy Crawford’s break through secret for younger looking skin.

Lana Del Rey: “My lips are real”

Controversial singer Lana Del Rey is all anyone can talk about these days. Whether it’s her SNL performance, her hair, her lips, her nails, her voice – people have a very strong opinion about her. According to HuffPo, the singer has already landed a modeling contract and scored a huge sartorial score in posing for the cover ofVogue UK.

Despite the attention, Del Rey is getting a lot of criticism in the lips department.

In a new interview in the New York Times’ Tmagazine, Del Rey opens up to writer Jacob Brown about that facial feature everyone (well, everyone on the Internet) has been buzzing about.

Her lips. Del Rey insists they’re real:

“It’s fine,” she assures me. “They’re real lips, I mean. In real life my lips don’t look that big. I think because I cartoonized the footage of myself in the video for ‘Video Games’ things look exaggerated.”

Click over to T magazine to see the Terry Richardson-directed photo shoot and read the full interview with Lana, including her strange living situation in Brooklyn. See the cover and some more photos of Lana’s style below.
