This quick fix will gently exfoliate and revive dry flaky lips. Mix a little olive oil and sugar in the palm of your hand and gently massage onto lips. Wipe clean and follow with nourishing lip treatment such as Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm.
I use this trick twice a week to keep my lips soft and kissable.

I recently invested in an airbrush system. I chose the Graftobian Walk About system. It’s lightweight and really user friendly. I can either plug it in or use the rechargeable battery pack. It came with starter packs of Graftobian’s HD Airbrush Glamour makeup with the corresponding HD solid foundations.
I love love love airbrushing makeup. It makes application so much faster and it gives such a polished flawless look. It’s amazing, plus it’s specifically designed for use with high definition cameras, which most people are using these days.
The airbrush also allows me to stencil on temporary tattoos and even cover existing tattoos. BIG fun.
I love my airbrush and would never go back to regular foundation.

I picked up a couple new palettes over the weekend that I’m pretty excited about.
I was wandering the makeup aisle at Target and was shocked to see E.L.F. gift sets. I’ve heard of this product line, but hadn’t seen it at Target before. What shocked me was not just seeing the products, but the prices. Most of the sets were $5.00 & under! So, of course I picked up the lip color palette and a false lash kit. I was skeptical and couldn’t wait to get home and try out the products. Well, I’ll just say that I paid a fair price for the lip palette. I chose the darkest of the lip shades to try out and after about 5 coats it finally started to meet my expectations. I’m all about lip palettes, I hate trying to contain all of the little lipstick tubes. All in all, it’s a great deal to add some variety to my kit.
Next I tried the false lash kit which was $3.00. The best part about this kit was the little lash grabber, the rest went in the garbage. I’d recommend the kit for the grabber alone, it’s worth $3.00 and it’s definitely going in my kit.
Next, I picked up the Smashbox Wish for the Perfect Palette from Ulta. This palette is AMAZING. It has tons of eye shadows (64!), cream eyeliners, brow powders, brow wax, lip glosses, blush, highlighter, bronzer & a few mini brushes. This palette was only $59. I really like Smashbox products and this just confirms why, the eyeshadows are super pigmented and go on really well. The cream eyeliners might just be my new favorite product, they go on so smooth & look gorgeous! Love, love, love! Go buy one before they sell out!
Are you intimidated by your eyelash curler? Well don’t be, this tricky looking beauty tool will soon be your best friend. An eyelash curler can completely transform your look in 30 seconds giving your eyes a more open, bright & feminine look.
1. Start with clean, dry lashes.
2. Position your eyelash curler around your eyelashes – the upper lashes must be between the edges of the curler.
3. Move the curler closer to the eye until the tool comes to the base of the lashes, but not over the skin of the eyelid.
4. Keep the eye open and slowly close the curler. Your eyelashes should fan out evenly across the upper bar. If at any time you feel pinching, readjust the curler.
5. Hold the closed curler for a slow count of five, keeping your hand and face steady. Repeat for additional volume. Now, do the same thing on the other eye.
Follow up with a quick application of mascara and you’re set for the day!www.makeupbyrachael.webs.com
