Valentine’s Day Event for the Animals

My girls over at We Heart This are hosting a Valentine’s Day event for a VERY worthy cause – The Amanda Foundation. The Amanda Foundation was founded in 1976, and has since placed thousands of homeless animals. It is a nonprofit organization that rescues dogs and cats who, through no fault of their own, are spending their last days at City and County Shelters. I plan to be there – and I if you live near Los Angeles, I hope you will too!

If you can’t be there, check out their special offer with one of my fave cruelty free skincare brands, Your Best Face, and beauty blogger extraordinaire, Truth in Aging. When you make a purchase, $20 will go directly to The Amanda Foundation!

Red Hot Makeup Tutorial – Concealer

Here’s the second video in a 5-part series with Lisa from Red Hot Makeup. Here, Lisa shows us how and where to apply concealer using her light-diffusing cream concealer.

And, just a reminder that Red Hot Makeup is having a crazy awesome sale right now. Buy any product of $8 or more and get a free blush and free kabuki brush ($24 value)! You don’t need a promo code – all orders qualify. Hurry though – quantities are limited.

Lisa’s Red Hot Tip:
Concealer can be used with your fingertips or a concealer brush. I like using a brush best and blending it in softly. A little goes a long way. Always apply the concealer to the darkest area under your eye and blend upwards. Sometimes I use a disposable sponge to gently blot away any excess. It can also be used on redness and sun damaged areas. I use concealer lightly after my foundation is set in place but it’s totally up to you.

You can also view the mineral foundation tutorial here. Stay tuned for blush, eyes and lips coming up!
