Do your makeup, just like a professional!

My mom always manages to find the coolest gadgets for me every birthday and Christmas. In recent years I've recieved new digital cameras, a flip cam, a Kindle, and this year she gave me the girliest gadget yet -- a TEMPTU airbrush makeup system!

Used by makeup artists for years, airbrushes have provided more even coverage and a more natural look for makeup. TEMPTU makes these techniques more accessible to us ladies who want to be more fabulous on a daily basis ;)

Head over to Sephora for a tutorial on how to use TEMPTU. They will also show you which foundation goes best with your skin tone. I recommend picking up the highlighter as well to add a little sparkle to your look.

Happy New Year! Finally another post!

It's been a while. Hope everyone had a happy and healthy holidays and New Year... Here we go, the first of a posting blitz! I'm back in DC after being snowed in NY and have soo much to write about :)

First up, some new and interesting research being done at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. Turns out we have taste buds in our lungs! Doctors accidentally discovered there are taste buds that detect bitterness. While testing them, they found out that these taste buds can cause airways to open up when they come in contact with something bitter. Why is this so important? -- Turns out this method can open airways much better than any previous medication has been able to. The next step... possibly an aerosol similar to an inhaler. I'm excited to see what will come of this.
