Sofia Vergara Breaks Down her Golden Globes Look!

Glam step-by-step quotes:

“For this year's Golden Globes, I really wanted to do something different. I wear makeup every day - I wouldn't think about leaving the house without it! - but of course it's such a big night, and everyone is taking pictures, so I have to look good! With my dress so elegant and my necklace so bold (and heavy!), I wanted to keep my hair and makeup simple and classic.”

1.       To start off with a good base that would last all night, I started with COVERGIRL truBLEND Foundation in M6 which is super lightweight and blendable.

2.       On top, a light dusting of powder to set the look and a bit of rosy color for the apples of my cheeks with Clean Glow Blush in Roses.

3.       My dress and jewels were the center of attention, so I had to balance my hair and makeup. For me, a really glamorous evening look starts with the eyes. I love the drama of a cat eye - tonight I went with brown liner as opposed to black with Bombshell Liner in Chocolate Kiss to create the look.

4.       I then used Bombshell Shine Shadow in Gold Goddess to give my eyes a little sparkle.

5.       As always, I LOVE big lashes so I used Bombshell Volume Mascara on my top and bottom lashes to add volume and intensity. (aka #bombshelling)

6.       For me, lipstick is a must - I feel naked without it. I wish I could just wear a nude shade, but it's not me - I need color. I went with a bold red withLipPerfection Lip Color in Flame.

7.       Oh I also always keep a gloss in my purse for touch-ups!

My thoughts-Though growing up I did not have a very heavy period, I had never really found a pad I liked.  Until I found Always.  Always is always coming up with the next best thing.  And they have.  These Always Radiant Infinity pads can hold alot.  No more accidents for me.  I no longer have to make the embarrassing call to my husband, to please bring me a change of clothes.  Or have to do the walk of shame out of my office building.  Especially now that after having Lil Bit, I seem to be like a running faucet.  I also like that they are so thin.  I can stick them in my back or front pocket and no one will know any different.

My thoughts-So I am all for testing a product and really putting it to the test.  So I have been letting myself walk around with some hairy legs for a couple of days.  I let my hair grow out just enough to be able to get waxed.  I once went to a place and was turned away because my hair was not long enough.  The strips were really easy to use.  I followed the directions which were easy to follow.  And here are the results:

The picture on the left is my left before waxing.  I am not a really hairy person so you can bearly see my hairs.  But on the right, is both of my legs without hairs.  They are smooth and soft.
But because I really like to test a product out, I asked my husband if he would allowed me to wax his hairy self!!  And yes, he is hairy.  See the results below:

On the left is his wax strip fill of hair.  On the right is the before and after.  Don't mind the redness.  My husband refused to move from the ackward position he was in, so I had to pull slowly and go over that area twice.  But the strip worked on his hairy body.  Clean, smooth, and soft skin left. 

I like that I don't have razor burn afterwards.  I was done and I didn't have to keep going over and over an area (at least on me).  The strips were so easy to use.
