Eye Shadow Just Won't Blend? Try This Quick Fix By Goss Makeup Artist

Eye shadow. It's fun to wear, especially when it GLIDES along your lids and stays put. But often, that is NOT the case.

We don't have a big shadow stash, but we like to switch between dark brown and + dark gray shadows. Sounds boring. But for us, neutrals are simpler to work with.

The problem we often find, is that matte powder shadows are difficult to BLEND. In fact, we observe that eye shadows often escape our lids and DON'T adhere well.

We found a good solution to try from pro makeup artist  Wayne Goss who gives excellent demos on YouTube.

His makeup how-to's are FUN + educational. Plus he's such an affable + cute guy with sensible beauty knowledge.

So let's look at Goss Makeup Artist and his quick fix:

Moisturizer. That's it.

Just dab a tiny bit across your eyelids and up to the brow bone and let it sink in.

Wayne says you will notice an IMMEDIATE difference when you try to apply your shadow. It will go on smoothly.

And he's right. Sounds so simple....and it is.

Check out his YouTube demo here.

Taylor Swift Rings In NYC New Year With Glam Crop Top + Track Pants Trend!

Singing superstar Taylor Swift never ceases to  AMAZE, and during New Year's Eve in wicked frigid NYC, she came out rockin' in signature, sexy crop top + high-waisted track pants by Jessica Jones and Joseph Cassell .

Taylor was riding the crop top tend PLUS the newer track pants trend. It's that comfy girl look set off by sky-high heels.

NOT an easy look to pull off. You can't even grab an inch of flab on this girl! Still, Taylor makes the sexy ensemble appear elegant, classic + chic.

NO belly button showing. Always lady-like. And there was a sparkly blazer she later removed, even though it was hovering around 30 COLD degrees at Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve show in New York City!

So, will you slip into a pair of track pants in 2015 and ride the trend like Taylor?

We've hunted down a pair to give you a head-start.

Darn Cold! Would You Put On A Fur Trapper Hat This Winter?

Fur hats are HOT this season, just like fur jackets in every faux fabric + color you can imagine. For the past couple of days, we've seen the deep freeze making its appearance.

Nothing like a warm, cozy winter hat to help you battle the frigid elements.

We like the classic, fur trapper hat, and yes.....it comes in plenty of faux fur styles. The hat is TOASTY and sort of  goofy-looking and sexy at the same time.

And a faux fur trapper hat will NOT bust your budget. We found one at Forever21 for $14.99!

And we found tons of these super warm winter hats at FurHatWorld for $29.95.

Celebs wear them around, too. We've seen Nicollette Sheridan, Rihanna, Jessica Alba + Kate Hudson doing the fur hat thing.

Would you rock a faux fur trapper hat this winter?

2014: Definitely Year Of BIG Butts, Real Or Not

Between JLo, Iggy, Nicki and Kim, 2014 has been the year of BIG butts, and it appears that all this ample-ness will be spilling out into the new year.

Not sure whose behind is REALLY real or REALLY fake. But whatever the case, the Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL, remains a very popular cosmetic surgery.

So let's take a further look. You can spend tons of time in the gym doing tons of squats + lunges to create a better butt. But---

The Brazilian Butt Lift can also design a great-looking behind in just a couple of hours.

RealSelf.com gives an excellent analysis of the BBL:

"A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses a person's own fat to naturally augment and shape the buttocks. A plastic surgeon first performs liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body (often the stomach, hips, and thighs), then transfers that fat to the buttocks. Additional liposuction can be done around the butt to improve the appearance of lift and contour."
Average Price: $6,650.

And take a LOOK at these BEFORE + AFTER Pics:

No you can see why designing your own butt is in such high demand.

Using your own fat can offer these advantages:

No foreign body implanted
Low rate of infection
Improved contour to the areas where the fat was harvested from
Minimal incisions required

Makes you wonder who in Hollywood has chosen the BBL over the hard work-out gym routine.
