Hello Beauties!
Don't you just love YouTube tutorials? I know that we do! They are always great for teaching you something new. Great tips and tricks to make our lives a little easier and our skin a little healthier.
Our latest find gives us all a little extra help with pesky fine lines and dark circles. We have found that the spice Turmeric works great. You can either make a thin mix with buttermilk or mix it with coconut oil. Smooth it gently under your eyes and then rinse it off thoroughly.
You might want to wear gloves with this one Beauties the Turmeric can stain your nails yellow.
As with any of our natural product finds please try them on a small patch of skin to test for allergies first.
Enjoy Beauties!
XOXO
Hello Beauties!
As you can tell by our blog my sisters and I love experimenting with different brands, colors, and types of makeup. This particular look was achieved by using an eye shadow palette from BH cosmetics. This is the 120 color 2nd edition palette.
I chose it because of the variety of colors. It has both matte and shimmer so you get the best of both worlds. BH Cosmetic eye shadows have really good pigment and the color lasts a long time.
In this picture my sister chose light purple, dark purple, and black. To finish the look she used the NYX purple roll on shimmer shadow we posted about in June.
The BH Cosmetics 120 color eye shadow palette 2nd addition can be purchased from their website. At the time of this post BH is currently running a sale and the palette can be purchased for only $16.95 plus s/h.
Amazon.com also carries it and the current price is $12.95 plus s/h. The links are posted below for your convenience. Have fun with it there really are no limitations.
Enjoy Beauties!

Hello Beauties!
Sometimes when something is "healthy" for you it does not taste very good. That is not always the case and this skinny shake is the exception to the rule. I discovered this delicious drink the other day thanks to a post by my Aunt on Facebook. I was pleasantly surprised and thought I would share it with all of you.
The skinny shake makes a great breakfast drink or anytime drink for that matter. The ingredients can all be found at your local grocery store. Some of you may already have everything required to make it in your home.
Below you will find the recipe. I changed it up a bit by using chocolate almond milk and adding a little bit of honey. You could also use vanilla if you prefer.
Enjoy Beauties!
XOXO
Skinny Shake
3/4 cup Almond Milk
about 15 ice cubes
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1-2 Tbsp unsweetened Cocoa powder
1/3 of a Banana
Blend.

Beauty Find-Nail Polish
I really enjoy finding unique things whether it is an item of clothing, shoes, cosmetics, or in this case, nail polish. While walking through the isles at Walmart I discovered this really unique polish by Maybelline. It's called Color Show Polka Dots and the color is Clearly Spotted 75. This particular version of it goes on clear with all the fun little dots so you can paint it over a color of your choice and it gives your nails a sort of 3D effect.
As my base coat I chose hot pink from Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Collection because hot pink is one of my 3 favorite colors. The name on the bottle is Love Rocks 320. I really enjoy the brightness of the color, how easy the polish goes on and how quickly it dries.The polka dots are a fun unique touch and they come in five different colors. The dots themselves are all the same color in every bottle.
Maybelline's Color Show Polka Dots sell for only $2.97 a bottle at your local Walmart it can also be found at Ulta, Target, and I am sure several other stores. Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails can be found at the same stores but the price at Walmart is only $1.97. That is a great bargain and it goes on better than a lot of higher priced nail polish.
Let your creativity run free!
Enjoy Beauties!
XOXO

Hello Beauties!
Beauty Tool- Michel Mercier Detangling Hair Brush
Our latest find is an As Seen on TV product. You know those late night infomercials that a lot of us get caught up watching..LOL (You know that you do, we all do sometimes.) This particular product was found by our mom and it really works. Normally when a person brushes tangled hair there can be some pulling through the tangles and more often than not some hair casualties.
With this brush there is a lot less hair loss and it slides through your hair very easily. My daughter has a sensitive head and she did not complain once when I brushed her hair with it. The company states that the reason for less hair loss and breakage is due to the unique distribution of 428 bristles that vary in height. I am quite pleased with this product as it does what it claims.
The brush comes in three different colors that are color coded for a particular type of hair; blue for thick, green for normal, and pink for fine. The price is a little high for a brush at $14.99 but with these results it may just be worth it.
On their website you can buy one and get one free plus s/h, so maybe go halves with a friend and split the cost. Our mom purchased hers for $14.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond and she absolutely loves it!
Enjoy Beauties!

Hello Beauties!
Beauty Find-Soothing Care Chafing Powder Gel
We have discovered through many sources (one being our sister Stephanie) that this little tube of chafing powder works for more than what the company is selling it. Believe it or not the gel is a great primer for your face and a little goes a long way. Once applied it makes a great base for your foundation. It smooths your skin while minimizing your pores and keeps your foundation in place.
The quality of this particular gel can be compared to many other higher priced primers like Smash Box, which sells for $36.00. Soothing Care only costs $5.98 and can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Walgreen's...etc.
Don't take our word for it, try it for yourself. With any new product try it on a little spot on your face to test it first for any possible allergies before applying it all over.
Enjoy Beauties!
XOXO
We would love to hear about your experiences with any of the products we have recommended or any products you may have tried that work for you. Feel free to comment.

Hello Beauties!
Beauty Find-Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
On a previous post titled The Great Mascara Debate we asked all of you what your favorite mascara was. At the time of the post we did not have a preference. In fact we were using 2-3 different ones to achieve the look that we desired.
After trying several different mascaras we now have a current favorite. As you can see from the picture our current choice is Maybelline Lots of Lashes from their great lash collection and the color is black.
This mascara is fanfrickentastic (my word) it goes on very easily and it only takes 2 coats of mascara to have beautiful lashes. After trying it once I was thoroughly surprised because it covered well and my lashes looked longer than normal.
I kept telling Carrie, "Look at my lashes" I was amazed at what this mascara did for them. We were so impressed with it that we introduced our mom to it. She is now using Lots of Lashes and she loves it just as much as we do
.
The brush is unique because it tapers down which allows you to get even the tiniest lashes. You know the ones that you might normally miss. The tapered end is also great for your bottom lashes and no clumping.
Seeing is believing when it comes to Maybelline's Lots of Lashes so try it for yourself. Not only is it a great mascara but the price is reasonable as well at only $3.97 at your local Walmart. You don't always have to spend a small fortune to get a quality product.
We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do Beauties!
XOXO

Hello Beauties!
Stephanie's Introduction and Makeover
We would first like to introduce you to our gorgeous sister Stephanie. She will be joining us on our blog and Facebook page. Stephanie will be contributing with her vast knowledge of hair. We are so excited to have her join us.
Today we decided to give Stephanie a makeover for her official welcome to Beauty Sisters and share it with all you Beauties. To prepare her transformation I primed her face using L'Oreal BB cream in medium and a stippling brush. Once the BB cream was applied I used Revlon colorstay 24hr foundation and for the finishing touch, Maybelline Shine Free loose powder in light.
For the next step Carrie did her eyebrows because she always does an amazing job. I can do them but she is a little more proficient at it. Carrie penciled in Steph's brows and then filled and smoothed them with a small brush. Carrie then contoured Stephanie's cheeks and I then I took over again by applying E.L.F. Fuchsia Fusion blush on the apple of her cheeks for a little added color and sparkle. I chose brown and pink eye shadow from my favorite True Blood Tarte palette. I used the light pink shadow on the entire eyelid then applied the brown shadow using an small angled brush in the crease of her eye.
Once her eye shadow was finished I used a Sephora black eyeliner on the lid and on the water line. To finish her eyes we curled her lashes and then used Maybelline Great Lash mascara in black.
To complete her look I lined her lips with a pink NYX liner and filled them in with a butter gloss also by NYX in Eclair.
Have fun with your look Beauties!
XOXO
