MAGICAL MONDAY!

Sometimes its the little things, like a jar full of gumballs, that get us through our Monday's and make them a little more magical.  I have jars full  of everything I love in my inspirationatorium at The Sparkle Factory.  Can you guess what some of those things might be?

Blood, Sweat, Sparkle and Curve balls....

It is not easy, but its worth every bit of blood, sweat, and sparkle.  Start each day with one goal in mind; to give it your best, work your hardest and believe that you can do it.  Find what you love most in life and then find a way to make it your work, your life, your career.  I know this can sound impossible but take it from me, it is possible!  But..... it is not EASY and always comes with a price.  You must sacrifice comfort, time with family and friends, sleep, and more.  But it's worth it when you see all that you have worked so hard for come to life.  Be ready for the curve balls!  They will come and you will not get any warning. Just when you think things are all starting to fall into place its as if some invisible force is throwing things in your way to make everything more challenging.  My advice is to get a big bat and smash right through every challenge, and know that you will learn your most valuable lessons during these times.  Don't let anyone or anything stop you from achieving your dreams!  And if they try to, banish them from your personal kingdom!  Negative and bitter people will only drag you down and surrounding yourself with good people will make your life happier, better, and more fulfilling than you could every imagine.  Sometimes bad people can seem good at first,  so make sure you trust your gut instinct to tell you when something is wrong.  Keeping bad apples in your life will make it harder to deal with the curve balls. This much I know for sure.

Dia De Los Muertos is just around the corner along with Halloween.  Last year I had a chance to check out the incredible DDLM displays at the HOLLYWOOD FOREVER cemetary where they take this holiday very seriously.  The gorgeous explosions of colorful flowers both paper and real along with the rainbow sugar skulls and festive costumes each one more over the top than the next inspired this new collection.  Available for a limited time at http://www.tarinatarantino.com/

MAGICAL CREAMSHADOW! Its as easy as 1, 2, 3!

My STARCHILD ODYSSEY MAGIC HOUR CREAMSHADOWS are a three part eye look that should take you less than three minutes to complete.  All you need is your finger and an eyeliner brush to create an out of this world eye look in less than three minutes!  

STEP ONE; apply NEBULA creamshadow from lashline to browbone. Blend over entire lid area.

 

STEP TWO; apply STARCHILD on entire lid. One layer is a wash of sheer sparkle, two layers will give you more depth and color. 

STEP THREE; apply METEOR NIGHT along upper lashline with your eyeliner brush. Start on the inner corner and blend out.  Finsh your eye look with my FLEUR DE LASH mascara in BLACK OPAL.  My creamshadows are waterproof and will stay on all day without cracking or creasing.  This is my go-to product for rainy days (like today!) for a weatherproof makeup look that takes you from day to night.
