Beauty Tips - favorite hair and makeup products

This week at show us your life it is all about beauty tips and your favorite hair and makeup products.

This is by no means my specialty, but I do have a few favorite things.

• The proper name for this stuff is "dust it" although it is more affectionately known as "hair crack" or "fairy dust."  I found out about this magical powder last year when I asked my hair stylist Ricky for a Sarah Palin poof.  This is the magic...you sprinkle a little on a section of hair, back comb it and pow you have a poof!

• Moroccan Oil has done wonders for my hair, both before drying and after.  It makes my hair so soft and really gets rid of fly away hairs.  I use this stuff daily, and the best part is how good it smells.  I love it.  

• And to top off all of the really good hair days (no joke, I have had more good hair days in the past six months than I could count) I spray a little of this hair spray on.  It isn't crunchy, it lets my hair still flow while holding body.  

• No beauty post would be complete without a plug for my favorite makeup, Bare Minerals.  I hear all of these people talking about how they love it for a summer makeup well I am hear to tell you it is a perfect all year make up.  I wear it daily (except for those days I am running late for work and totally forget makeup.) I never feel like I am trying to hard with this makeup.  It looks good (or at least I think so...I mean I am single...) 

• Last but not least I swear by Lancome's oscillating mascara.  Both the primer (the white one) and the black.  My eye lashes leave a bit to be desired, and could be longer this combo though makes them look amazing (once again I think so).  I have actually had a few people ask me about what mascara I use, because my eye lashes look amazing.  This is it people, this is the mother load.  

And those are a few of my favorite beauty items.  I feel like I could use a disclaimer on this post, just because I like these products in no way means you will be prettier.  I mean look at me after all.
