Trailer Park Trends Part 1

Makeup Round-Up

Like any good Southern girl, I LOVE my makeup! Here's a quick overview of my latest must have picks and what to ditch.

Liquid eye liner:

At my ripe old age I have finally learned how to apply liquid eyeliner without too much room for error these days. I've tried several different types and here's the DL on this shit:

BASIC BLACK: makes a great basic liquid eyeliner...does the job...goes on easy, easy to clean up smudges, longwear, etc. For more info, go to www.marykay.com

WATERPROOF: I tried MAKE-UP FOREVER'S waterproof formula and was extremely happy with the results, until (after purchasing less than a month ago) the brush got fucked up and now I get stray black lines across my eyelids if I'm not careful when I use it.

DIXIE'S DOPE: So my girl, Dixie has an eye for fashion with a hand for all things hip and she's been kind enough to share some of her kickass know how with all of us. Here she goes: ALMAY liquid eye liner--comes in a variety of colors, reasonably priced, and has a SPONGE tip applicator that forms to the proper curvature of one's eye after a few applications. LOVE IT!

Mascara: Durability v. Shimmerability

Don't know if any of you ladies or gents has used any NARS eyeshadow lately, but if you have, let me know if you've have the same problem I've had with my NARS eyeshadow.

My friend Laura turned me on to a particular NARS eyeshadow color, STRADA, which is a purple with highlighting flecks of gold. It's gorgeous, but the PROBLEM is it FALLS APART! I've owned it less than a year and it's already breaking into pieces to the point that I can't safely carry it in my makeup bag anymore. BOO!!

SIDE B

So, the flip side of the coin is I have a beautiful ESTEE LAUDER eyeshadow circa 1994 that I still use daily. Talk about QUALITY and DURABILITY! Guess that's what comes with being the flag ship of one of America's largest cosmetic empires.

Mascara

Right now, I'm feeling COLOR~! In a BIG WAY! It's HOTT, HOT, down South and it's got me feeling perky:) To celebrate this sometime summertime sensation, I turned on some Miami Sound Machine and grabbed my earplugs. I'd rather hum the Strokes any day.

RAMMER JAMMER ROYAL: XOXOXOXOXO!!!!!

Ok, y'all, Southern girls know that, in a pinch, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara outperforms pricier alternatives. For less than $5, Great Lash will thicken, lengthen, and plump with the best of 'em.

What's even more fun? MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH MASCARA IN ROYAL BLUE! In fact, I'm wearing it right now.

Blush

LOVE LOVE LOVE WET N' WILD's Silk Finish in godknowswhatcover. Lasts forever and then some. Cheap and chic.

Eyelash curlers (Dixie says, "They are little torture devices." )

I always use one, though:)

BIG SOUTHERN HAIR

Thanks to Bump Its, I can achieve the same kind of height my mama did back in the 70s with half the work. Check 'em out, for real. Spray with Aqua Net or Suave Max Hold #8.

See y'all soon!!!

Check it out: so this is the first installation of a new blog series that will cover all things Alabama and most things Southern and cool...which, of course, go hand in hand, as you will see in the coming articles. This is a little slice of heaven, straight out of the <3 of Dixie...pun intended.

Your comments are encouraged and if you have any questions or any topics you'd like addressed, feel free to shout em out y'all, don't be shy:)
