Hi All! I've been working on ideas for Halloween, I was supposed to do a look today but wanted to work on my ideas a little further. In order to work out these ideas I tried them on paper first.   Here are a few: This is the makeup look I've come up with for my daughter.  She will be dressed up as a 80's Pop Star. This is my Flamingo look in real life this look will have Hot pink Feather lashes with it. This is the Lizard look.  I will add more colour on the eye with the circles and regular black fake lashes. Well these are a few looks that I'll be doing in real life and will be posting from now to Halloween.  I also will be using a lot of Mae Minerals products, I'll be sure to add a link where you can buy them if you want to. Hope you enjoyed my looks! Leanne

I'd like to Welcome Liz Schulte to Books Read 'N' Makeup Done Thanks for visiting us! Liz Schulte: Thank you so much for having me on Books ‘n Makeup! I am so excited to be here as a stop on my Dark Corners blog tour. I wasn’t entirely certain what to post about and as I was about to go to bed when an idea hit me. One of the questions I am asked most with regard to my book is “Where do you come up with your ideas?” The general answer I give is they are part reality and part imagination, which is true, but that can be expanded on.  So if you don’t mind I would like to talk about what inspires me in my day to day life. Dark Corners is a mystery/suspense novel, but my life is neither mysterious nor suspenseful—well at least not 99% of the time and that stray one percent is mostly likely a misunderstanding. Yet, I did draw from my real life while creating the story. Pieces of me, my friends, my family, and complete strangers go into every one of my characte...

I was given the opportunity to test this great product.  Tropical Traditions Organic Hair Oils can be used three different ways. As a Shine serum Leave-in Conditioner Leave in Oil Treatment When I tried it as a Shine serum it left my hair very shiny.  I had to use a very tiny tiny amount. I then tried it a leave-in Oil treatment.  I applied it throughout my hair and left it in for about 4 hours. After 4 hours I washed it out and then fixed my hair. It left my hair looking healthy and shiny.  I loved it!  My hair is naturally curly and brittle and quite dry but after using this product it looked wonderful! I am really happy with this product.  Also, I still have lots of the product left!  I highly recommend others trying this product if you have dry and brittle hair or if your hair just needs some shine. Now here's your chance to win your own Organic Hair Oil!   &am...

Hey all!   I'm super excited to Welcome back Author Minnette Meador! She has an amazing new book out and I hope you will enjoy getting to know some of her characters a much as I did. GLADIATOR – INTERVIEW WITH CHARACTERS First of all, I want to thank Leanne for inviting me to share her amazing blog! What an honor it is to be here! Today we are joined by two extraordinary people. The lovely Phaedra and a man who needs little introduction: Thane, The Gladiator Prince. Welcome! P: Thank you. It’s very nice to be here. T: It is an honor. Q: So Phaedra, let’s start with you. Tell us a bit about yourself. P: I was raised in Rome and then came to Roman Britannia when my father moved his Ludi after our tour of the providences. I married a few years later, but my husband died, so my father forced me and my younger brother to come back to Britannia. We did not want to. Q: Why is that? P: (after a pause) We had spent our whole lives trying to ...
