Love was definitely in the air when Sarah & Erik were married on the day that's known as Love Day... Valentine's Day! Glam time for Sarah and six of her bridesmaids took place at the Cincinnatian Hotel. While music and mimosas filled the room, there was nothing but laughter, dancing and of course makeup that made the day everso perfect. Check out the following images by Dolce Vita Photography of their beautiful winter wedding.

Beauty Tip: Removing Makeup!
Do you sometimes find it difficult in removing makeup, spending more than 10 minutes in getting off? Mostly when wearing long-wear and/or waterproof products. Well here’s a beauty tip…
Before cleansing your face with cleanser and water (not soap). Use an oil based makeup remover to take your makeup off. And for those who’d rather go the “all natural” method, use either Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (shown below) and THEN cleanse.
**Also excellent in removing Halloween makeup**

SPRING CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BAG
Beauty products aren't meant to be kept forever and being that we're in a new season, it's time to "Spring Clean" your makeup bag or drawers. And to help you get started here's a timeline on when to toss your most used cosmetics.
And here's a tip... using a Sharpie marker, date the bottom of all of your products on the first day of use as a timeline guide.
Mascara lasts for 3 months. Date the bottom of it with a Sharpie upon "first" use as a timeline.
Replace your lipsticks & glosses every 12 months. And dispose of them if they become dry & change color. And of course sharing is a no-no! Date the bottom of them with a Sharpie upon "first" use as a timeline.
Liquid foundation (unopened) can last up to 2 years but once open and used it can last 6-12 months. Date the bottom of it with a Sharpie upon "first" use as a timeline.
Just as mascara, eyeliner should be replaced every 3 months. Pencils should be wiped clean with 91% rubbing alcohol and THEN sharpened after each use. If not, bacteria can settle later causing an infection.
Powder products such as blush and eye shadow can be kept the longest. They can last as long as 2 years. And don't forget to date the bottom of your products with a Sharpie upon first use as a timeline guide.
