You would never know it, but yes, spring is coming. One way I know is when I start to see daffodils, hyacinth and hydrangea in the supermarket floral department. My mom and I were shopping at Trader Joes and I saw this marvelous hydrangea. Nothing was more inspiring for spring makeup! I created this look […]
Happy Fat Tuesday! Ok, so let’s be real. I don’t even know what Mardi Gras is about or why it started. I know it has something to do with beads and New Orleans. And when I think New Orleans, I definitely think of those beignet things. I’ve never had any, but I think I’d be […]
After seeing white liner on the Spring 2014 runways, I worried it could easily read grabbed-White-Out-from-my-desk in real life. But you just have to ground it with another liner to keep it strong, high contrast and white hot. I created this look for Divine Caroline with Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner in Snow […]
I’ve compiled a list of 8 of the best new spring products for Divine Caroline. Now, I hope the birds get to chirpin’ and the snow gets to meltin’ soon because I’m more than ready to tell spring, “what up girl?!” 1.

Red lips are the high heels of your face. They are one of the easiest ways to take your look from meh to meooow. I don’t wear a red lip often. I tend to reserve it for certain times. Maybe when I’m going out somewhere fancy, or when I need a confidence boost before a […]
1.) Cleanser A gentle foaming cleanser will remove both makeup and impurities and allow the rest of your skincare to soak in and take full effect. You can use serums and peels to really treat skin issues but the purpose of a cleanser is to, drumroll please….cleanse! 2.) Serum Serums are your treatment step. Use […]
Their packaging doesn’t scream luxury and their intended purpose may be different, but these products are the cheap, effective basics I’ve used for years. Aloe Vera Gel Uses: If you have sensitive skin, this is far more effective than lotion after shaving. It calms razor burn, hives and also makes a nice, lightweight moisturizer for oily […]
I have always loved Valentine’s Day. I think it gets a bad rap, but really, it’s a day of love and that means all kinds of love to me! Maybe your valentine is your niece or nephew, or child or your pet! It can be depressing to watch people in your office getting bouquets left and […]
The Pantone Color of the Year 2014 is radiant orchid and don’t you just love it?! It’s the perfect mix of pink and purple. Magenta meets fuschia, goes on a date, gets drunk and has this awesome color 9 months later. I think it lights up your whole face when brought into your makeup palette. […]
1. GlamGlow ThirstyMud Hydrating Mask Oh ThirstyMud, you smell so goooood! I can tell this has coconut and honey because the smell is divine. I like this mask because you can choose to wear it for 10 minutes or apply thinly like moisturizer and sleep in it! 2. Agave Lip Mask Again, with the lovely […]

I looove me some highlighters. I never used to place much value on them until I saw the impact they make by bringing out your bone structure. Highlighters are a very simple, quick way to give your face that ethereal, youthful glow. In the winter especially, almost everyone’s skin could use a bit more life […]
I’m not a super big fan of “do’s” and “don’t’s” when it comes to makeup, simply because I love the freedom of expression, finding what works best for you and your features and feeling confident in finding what looks make you feel prettiest. However, I have noticed several things that seem to go easily wrong […]

I saw a photo of Jennifer Lawrence in Vanity Fair, promoting the Hunger Games Catching Fire film release. I loved the feathery lashes and rhinestones on the lower lash line. I also thought the pink cheeks and pale lips were beautiful and I had to recreate this. I had some Sephora Collection Cabaret false lashes I […]
