Life of Kimberly Edwards

The other night, I had a dream I was in the Outback of Australia with my husband.

We came upon a group of wallabies, one of which was very interested in what we were doing.

This little wallaby approached me and started to want to smell my hair and face and was trying to cuddle me. He was absolutely adorable and had one brown eye and one blue eye.

As humans do, I spoke to it softly in a higher pitch tone telling it how cute it was, and told it my name.

No sooner did I do that, but in it’s own little voice, it repeated my first name to me, as if asking me if he was correct…

Shocked out of my mind, I tried to Read more…

I’m posting a helpful article from Alexis Gould today to help everyone with their eyeliner application and to let them know what options they have by way of different types of eyeliners.

Personally, I don’t wear much eyeliner, only liquid above the upper lashes in everyday life. However, when I’m at a shoot, the make up artists I work with use a wide array of eyeliners and applications. Check it out:

Eyeliners 101 – How to Apply Pencil, Liquid, Fluid and Powder Eyeliners
By Alexis Gould

There are four most common types of eye liners – pencil, liquid, fluid, and powder. This article will provide a brief overview of these four products including the pros and cons of using each of these liners.

Pencil Eyeliner: This is the stuff you used back when you were in your teens and first started to experiment with makeup. It’s easy to use and can be manipulated to produce lots of different effects. For example, you can create a daytime look by applying clean lines, or you can create an evening look by smudging it for the smoky eye effect. You can use it on both your upper and lower lash line, and they usually come in a wide variety of colours. I find they also last pretty long too, you can use it even if it’s just down to the last stub. The only problem is that they tend to smudge (especially during summer when we sweat more) but a trick to prevent that is to apply a neutral shade shadow below your lower lash line to absorb the oil and/or sweat. I also tend to avoid black pencil liners and go for espresso or dark plum shades, simply because I find the black to be fairly overwhelming and tends to create a Goth-ish look.

Liquid Eyeliner: Liquid liners are used when you want a dramatic effect, because the colours pigments are fairly intense. But that doesn’t mean they cannot be used for a daytime effect.

Liquid liners are either brush-tipped or soft or hard felt-tipped. I personally prefer the felt-tip as it is easier to manipulate. Soft tips feel better on the skin around your eyes, but hard tips offer more precision, so it really depends on your preference. I usually do a little wing at the outer edge of my eyes, and when I use the hard tip I work from the outside in. Liquid lines are great for creating bigger looking eyes, especially in the black shade, but I have also seen fun shades like turquoise and gold floating around.

The downside to liquid liners is that they are harder to use than pencils, and they often tend to run/flake. I have waterproof liners but they still seem to flake by the end of the day. But if I just wear for a couple hours in an evening out they always stay very well.

Fluid Liner: Fluid liners occupy a Read more…

For any of you that really know me, you all know I like a little glitz, bling and dazzle.

I like anything shiny and sparkly! That’s for sure! LOL…

Okay, not for everyday or on everything, but you definitely could use a dash of it in your daily wardrobe.

Sometimes that one accessory you use is a piece of Hip Hop Jewelry.

It can accent your look, give you that bling and not be too overwhelming with your outfit.

Now, hip hop bling isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve got a little sass in your style, have fun with it!

Also, you don’t have to be a hip hop star or fan to enjoy the bling that goes along with it!

Have you tried using a Red Box yet?

RedBox is a machine, often found in or outside of your local grocery stores, convenience stores, super stores or drug stores that you can rent newly released and classic movie DVDs for $1 per night.

You have to use your credit card, so be prepared. You scroll through that machine’s collection and choose your movie(s) for the night.

You’ll receive it out of a little slot in the machine, which is also where you’ll return the DVD to.

You will be charged $1 per night, so be aware of Read more…

Many of us, these days, either choose not to have a traditional bank account, don’t have the minimum required deposit for opening an account, especially in this economy, or just simply want to stay away from confusing fee structures and statements.

Did you know they do credit checks at many banks before they’ll let you open any kind of account? Okay, so, they want to check me over so I can give them my money to hold…Does that make sense to you?

Maybe you’re a teenager who wants to handle your own banking and spending of your allowance or part time job money. Maybe you’re about to travel and want your loose money to be more secure.

Well, NetSpend is a Prepaid Credit Card that let’s you do just that – all of the above.

It’s a credit card, either a Visa or Mastercard, you manage by loading money onto it. Virtually anyone can get one and can use it for purchases either around town or around the internet.

If you have any of the issues above and just don’t want a regular bank account, this is the way of the future!

How Can I Keep My Teeth White & Still Drink Tea?

A predicament I’m often in – Especially with Homemade Chai Tea!

I love to drink tea!!! It’s probably my favorite beverage right after water…

…But I model and often have close ups on my teeth…They have to be white too!

What Do I Do?
Well, a little known fact is that you can put a bit of milk in your tea – that’s all you need.

Why Does This Work?
Well, it’s the Read more…

What I often like to do when I’m getting bored of my choice of bikinis, especially when traveling, is mix and match tops and bottoms.

Just about anything goes by way of fashion at the beach. So, just make sure you have similar materials for the tops and bottoms and you’re good to go.

I especially make sure I pick up basic bikinis without patterns in many different colors, so I can mix and match when I get bored.

Try matching a basic top or bottom with a patterned opposite, or pick 2 basic colors for each piece.

I know I do…

I just came across a website today called ActorCast – are you on it?

I just signed up today, but haven’t completed all of my profile yet.

Basically, it provides aspiring actors all the access they need to the major film and television productions out there…

This will level the playing field for actors all over the world trying to land roles in Hollywood.

Apparently, ActorCast.com is the offspring of Cast It Systems – an online database compiled for casting directors of actors out there ready for work.

In fact, I even got to read an article on the New York Times about Cast It Systems’ successes…now, that’s credible.

Auditions can be privately uploaded and sent to interested directors that be and it can all be done in seconds, instead of  mailing audition DVDs or tapes.

This is making the process of auditioning easier, cheaper (because you don’t have to travel), and more open to actors from all over the place!

I’m excited about this because I split time in Niagara Falls, Canada and Dallas, Texas. So, obviously, I’m not near the epicenter of castings for major film and TV roles…

Wow – get in on this while you still can!
