Do you have a favorite crease brush? If I had to pick one (oh, the horror!), I’d choose the MAC 217. That bad boy’s smoother than Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together…
But who says there can be only one? Here are four MAC crease brushes to consider (click for the video).

Rise and shine, ladies! I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday morning. 🙂

How’s it going, girls? Did you do anything fun tonight? I just got back from the movies with El Hub. We saw Rachel Getting Married. I thought Anne Hathaway did a great job. That girl’s got game, but if you decide to see it, make sure you’re in the mood for a long, slow talkie… yep.
Before we left for the movies I was thinking about makeup brushes. If you’re new to makeup or looking to build your collection of makeup brushes, here’s one way to save a few bucks (click here for the video).

A few days ago I showed one way to apply blush using a technique called The Bounce (bounce, baby!). Here’s a second method. This one’s nicknamed The Swirl (click for the video).

Rise and shine, morning glories. It’s Friday, yea! Are you ready for the weekend? In this short video I talk about one of my standby blush application techniques, codenamed “The Bounce.”
Have a good one today.

P.S. Did you happen to see last night’s America’s Best Dance Crew? How about Strikers All-Stars, huh? WOW! That seven-man monkey roll was out of this world.
