You Gotta See This Video Contest

Well, let me fill you in, if you haven’t…

Abbot Medical Optics Inc. (AMO) wants to let people in on what has improved in vision correction patients’ lives since they’ve had lasik done or how their lives would be improved.

So, they’re inviting people to share their experiences showing the impact of their improved vision. For example, if they’re swimming, boxing, or running more. If it’s easier for them to drive.

Not only that, they can win cash and prizes for their entry video!

There have already been some great entries showing their daily lives, letting us in on the sports they’re now involved in or are excelling at, even original music videos telling us about how great it’s been since they’ve gotten lasik done.

Oh yes, this contest is still open, so go ahead and submit your video for a chance to win a grand prize of $5,000.00, or a first prize in each video category that’s an HDTV package ($2,500.00 value), and a 2nd prize in each video category of a Flip UltraHD™ camcorder ($199.99 value).

There are 3 different video categories:
1. My contacts are getting in the way of a good time

Ever Had Accupuncture?

Posted by: Kimberly  /  Category: Beauty Tips, Look Great

I’ve had accupuncture a few times for various reasons…

However, the biggest reason for any accupuncture is to repair your body so it performs optimally.

Accupuncture keeps your body’s vital energy, or Qi, flowing in harmony through your body.

Accupuncture

Practiced in parts of Asia for over 4000 years by ancient Chinese physicians, accupuncture nowadays is a part of Oriental Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine and is well recognized as a complimentary type of alternative medicine recognized by the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health.

There are accupuncturists everywhere – most likely in your own town…

A wide array of internal and external reasons can disrupt your Qi (pronounced “Chee”) or internal balance. In order to correct this harmony, accupuncturists Read more…

How to Apply Eyeliner

Posted by: Kimberly  /  Category: Beauty Tips, Tips

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.

Soft Eyeliner Pencil Cocoa 0.04 Oz

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.

Stila - Liquid Eyeliner (Black) - Beauty

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…

My Staple Perfume Right Now

Posted by: Kimberly  /  Category: Beauty Tips, Great Products, Tips, What's New

When I travel, I can only pack so much, especially with the weight and baggage limits put upon us by the airlines.

So, I try to consolidate and bring things that will work universally – and that includes beauty products!

My perfume of choice this month for traveling is Victoria’s Secret’s Heavenly Perfume Scent.

It’s soft and floral and simply smells heavenly!

It is great for day time as it’s not overpowering, isn’t oily – so it’s not uncomfortable or staining in very intense heat like Dallas, and is beautiful and romantic for evening as well!

Try it out – I know you’ll love it!

Below is a drawing of what heaven was to the writer, Dante.

Dark Circles Under Your Eyes – What To Do

Posted by: Kimberly  /  Category: Beauty Tips, Look Great, Modeling, What's New

As for me, I rarely ever get puffy eyes, unless I’ve been crying, so this is not an issue for me.

However, if I did, I would thinly slice up some cucumbers and relax with them on my eyes for about 30 minutes to get rid of them.

My problem often is that I get dark circles, mostly because I’ve been busy and not getting enough sleep.

As you age, the skin under your eyes becomes thinner and thinner, making your dark circles more noticeable.

Of course, you need a great eye wrinkle cream that will help nourish that area.

It’s important to start applying a good eye cream early, even in your late teens or early 20s to stay on top of it – before wrinkles, puffy eyes or dark circles rear their ugly heads.

A few weeks back, I had a photo shoot. The night before, we had somewhat of an emergency that kept me from getting a good night’s sleep.

…The thing is, the show must go on! Even as a model, you don’t have the luxury of canceling or not showing up – just like with any other job.

So, you put your best face forward and hope your make up artist for the day has skills to cover your dark circles up.

However, I wish I would have had a chance to check out EyeWrinkleCream.net before this shoot…it would’ve helped me out knowing about some of these creams!

Product Review of Dermajuv Eye Revolution Gel

In a profession where your every flaw is chewed apart by the people viewing your work, it’s important to do your best to look your best on a daily basis.

The thing with dark circles, in my opinion, is it brings out any other flaws even more – I don’t know why, but they do!

Be sure you’re drinking lots of water, getting good sleep, get some sun on your face and gently pat your dark circles with your ring finger to stimulate blood circulation to clear them up, as well as using a good eye cream daily!

How to Become a Fitness Model – Part #1

Posted by: Kimberly  /  Category: Beauty Tips, Look Great, Modeling, Sports, What's New

A bunch of my friends have started to ask me the question of how they can get into fitness modeling…

So, I figured they are a good cross section, especially of my readers here, and I wanted to share my answer that I’ve been “copying and pasting” to my friends as they contact me…

This is a 3 Part Series – So, please be sure to check out Part #2 and Part #3 too!

female boxerThey often ask me if I’m a fitness model – I guess because they know I work out all the time, eat healthy and model too, but I wouldn’t even really label myself a total “fitness model” per se…

Photo left: Kimberly Edwards – photo by Zdenka Micka – Make-Up & Hair by Kimberly Edwards – Oshawa, Ontario

There is a huge industry in fitness modeling right now.

Why?
People are trying to be healthier…They’re working out more, eating healthier and are simply more aware of their bodies and fitness. So, why not make your efforts worth something, right?

To Tattoo or Not to Tattoo – That is the question:
Although I’m really not into tattoos and don’t have any myself, many people nowadays do, including my dear hubby…So, what’s the skinny?

Tattoos are still “in”, so you could get some work in the fitness industry even with them – especially with specialty industries (have you seen the “Suicide Girls” tatted up with piercings?)

However, there are a number of ways to cover tattoos up too, if you so desire in competitions or anything like that…everyone does it…LOL…So, don’t let that stop you.

My cousin also had a few tattoos removed with laser and you can’t even tell they were there…
