Raging Rouge Beauty Blog: For Makeup Lovers Everywhere!
Trish McEvoy is well known for her amazing skill as a makeup artist and her high-quality product. But the organizational tools for her makeup line is what really sets her product apart from the rest. This adorable planner is sized for both petite and mini makeup pages, and comes with a Power of Makeup Palette. I love how it has handles, for easy carrying.
Women of my generation are terrified to use shadows with color. I think we’re scarred because we all saw the super-rich high-pigment colors worn in the 80’s firsthand.
When a makeup artist recently tried to put some pale green eyeshadow on me, I hesitated. But the color itself was so sheer and barely-there, it wasn’t flashy. The hint of green really makes brown eyes pop.
The aforementioned eyeshadow was Chanel’s "Nymphéa" (the image below is NOT of the correct colors). I highly recommend it for a splurge.
For a thrifty alternative, try E.L.F.’s Brightening Eye Color in "Nouveau Neutrals". The shades are perfect for Spring.
I am a big fan of my Bare Escentuals cosmetics, and the foundation is just the light coverage I want for the spring and summer.
But I had a dillemma. Minearal foundations accentuate my pores. Could be the product- could be improper application on my part. Whatever the reason, I didn’t want to give up. That’s where Dr. Brandt Pores No More comes in. Smooth the product over the problem areas, and let it dry. It’s a flesh-colored cream with a powdery consistency. Apply your foundation over it and voila, no visible pores and the perfect finish we all want.

If someone offered to sell you a magical potion that would help slim you down… would you buy it? I think most women would answer yes to this question. The funny part is, when companies claim their product can actually do such a thing, we don’t believe it.
I was skeptical when I first started using Peter Thomas Roth Ultimate Body Sculpting Slimming Gel. How could I not be? According to Peter Thomas Roth, this product generated near-miraculous results after 60 days, including:
So I approached this product scientifically. Three weeks ago, I weighed in and measured my stomach and hips prior to using the product. After three weeks of use, I weighed in again, and my weight changed by +0.8 lbs. Despite the fact that I was nearly 1 pound heavier, my stomach and hips each measured 1" smaller. I couldn’t notice the difference just by looking at myself, but I was able to fit comfortably into a smaller size jean that I had purchased with my fingers crossed weeks before using this product. This magical concoction actually seems to work! Well worth the $100 pricetag, it’s the perfect purchase to get ready for the summer! Click on the image below to purchase the product.

My skin clings to color, especially variations of blue. Much to my embarrassment, my college professors were always able to see exactly which bars I had hit the night before–a tale told by blue, purple and black stamps on my hands. Despite scrubbing at my hands as if cleaning a dirty stove-top, the ink would not wash off.
Eyeliner caused a similar problem. Regardless of how clean my eyes looked before bed, I would wake looking like a raccoon. Luckily, after searching high and low, I found an eye makeup remover tough enough to fully remove my eyeliner. It’s nothing budget-busting, just good ol’ drugstore-stocked L’oreal.
A newer favorite, and a perfect travel companion, is E.L.F. eye makeup remover pads. They remove eye-makeup thoroughly, and come in a convenient case.
