Sam Fine Basics of Beauty Instructional DVD

Sam Fine, makeup artist to many stars including Iman and Tyra Banks, is releasing his “Basics of Beauty” instructional DVD. With over a decade of experience making up famous faces, Sam Fine brings his his star techniques to you with this DVD which costs just $24.99 at samfine.com.

I really wanted to do a DVD so people could have a chance to watch it and realize that it’s not as hard as it seems,” Sam said during his video, which features three real-women makeovers, behind the scenes footage of Iman and an interview with Sam himself.

Note, some of the makeup application techniques shown are actually not that easy, even though he makes it seem so easy as he executes. For women of color who’re serious about makeup, this is a must-have DVD, even if only to see this makeup genius in action, or to hear him go on about all of the really important beauty questions such as: (1) drugstore vs. department store brands ((2) to tweeze or to wax … and more.

Wooden Kitchen Products

Today I got on a roll after gettin a cool hanging stemware rack for my wine glasses. Now I’m thinking re-do my whole kitchen with quality wooden kitchen products, and I’ve found the place to get ‘em – JK Adams. Unfortunately, there’s no need for a cool JK Adams wine rack because I already got my hanging rack, but there’s still much more to consider – from cutting boards to pot racks, spice racks even!

I may sleep on this one for a day or two, but this 39-inch JK Adams pot rack (for the ceiling) is looking like a very strong possibility. It’ll look good hanging somewhere near the stemware rack. Check out the pic below. I’ll be hovering around this JK Adams direct website for a couple more days for sure, as I have a very strong feeling that a nice chunk cutting board and a spice rack carousel will soon be on order for delivery here :)

Wine Lovers, This One’s For You

Wine and beauty go hand in hand, and if you’re a wine lover like myself, and like to see your wine glasses displayed in really cool ways, then you need to check out the wine glass racks at glassstemwareracks.com. I happened across them earlier this morning, and as a confirmed shop-a-holic, I can tell you that you won’t be able to find cooler glass racks anywhere else on the web.

My goal today was to find a nice glass stemware rack, and I am very pleased with the hanging stemware rack (picture above) that I ended up getting. It can hold up to 24 glasses, hangs easily from the ceiling and just looks cool! Lots of other options available too – from all glass racks to cabinet glass racks to wall, floor and table glass racks. Options for days … go see for yourself.
