Christmas 2017

1:24 PM No comments

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I miss the snow and chilly weather. I grew up in western Pennsylvania. Now I’m living in Las Vegas. Vegas is a desert so our winters are freezing but missing the snow and sled riding like we did back home.

MUST HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS

I've decided to list a few of my favorite items i'm using currently!

http://www.sephora.com

I stumbled upon Nude Air at the Sephora store. I was using another foundation that was making my skin look dry so I took it back to Sephora and found this and i'm really happy I did. I follow it up with a Mac foundation or bare minerals but i'm about to ditch the Bare Minerals because I've noticed my skin looking dry and I prefer a youthful dewy look these days.

Milani cosmetics you can purchase at your local CVS. This was cheap. I don't think I spent more than $10 on it but well worth it. I don't particularly like the little makeup wand that comes with it. So I traded it out for one of my own and this eyeshadow looks great. It's shimmery if you like that effect.

Now I have not tried Anastasia so i'm sure that could alter my thoughts but loving Cocoa Contour! It smells like chocolate too!

Argh my hair. I don't even want to talk about it but I will. I am addicted to bleaching my hair but I just can't do it anymore. I thought if i tried lots of herbs and vitamins that it would keep my hair strong but the bottom line is the bleach is ruining my hair. So I'm going back to highlighting it like the good ole days! No more platinum blonde! My hair was growing but breaking off at the ends and so its super short at the moment. It's shoulder length but not by choice. I was talking to a hair stylist that recommended Pureology Hydrate to me and it has been the best shampoo and conditioner by a landslide. I'm very happy with it and excited to try their other lines.

I take healthier hair pills almost every day. I really love these pills. They have helped with volume and lengthening my hair.

I just switched from the pre-natal version of this (same company). I was thinking, "more money, better product" but that's not always the case so i'll let you know in a month which i like more. But I do love the pre natal formula!

http://www.fruiteatox.com

Love love love this tea. I have to take it in small doses tho because it really does what it says it will! I've been drinking this the past few days and Ive been feeling sluggish and tired so I think before you start this teatox you should put the coffee and alcohol down a week in advance.

So there you have my favorite products at the moment! Thank you for reading! If you have any questions you can email me at carleycorbin@gmail.com

Makeup Tutorials and Drugstore Alternatives

9:25 AM No comments

I loved this video I found on Facebook and wanted to share with you all! Not sure about the rest of you but Sephora is a staple "stop" in my house! Along with the MAC counters and Chanel of course. I'm always curious about these cheaper drugstore alternatives but am sometimes scared to try them. I always think the more expensive the better the product. Here is a video showing how to get the same exact look for less!

Welcome to the Sexy World of Breast Implants!

12:19 AM 13 comments

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I've been on here. A lot has happened. I finally took the plunge and got my boobs done! Woo Hoo. Although this is a very personal matter I've decided to write this blog because going under the knife was a big deal for me. It was scary. I had no idea what to expect. I read tons of story's online and it's hard to know what is accurate and what isn't. So I've decided to shed some light on my experience with getting breast implants to hopefully guide some of you to make formidable decisions when It comes to having this type of surgery. Before I had my breasts done I would chat with my girlfriends about what size I would get and who is the best doctor. Is it better to go through your belly button? Under the armpit? Or through the nipple.? Well let me tell you, all those stories seemed to run together when I finally was there meeting with doctors. I completely forgot every great story I had ever heard. Argh. So I had no idea whether to go through the nipple or belly button. Deciding on the size was probably the toughest decision I have made. I have girlfriends that went to cheap doctors to get a good deal and while their boobs look great in clothing they have scar tissue and their breasts are hard as a rock. So I wanted to make sure I didn't become a statistic, you know? My friend Lawrence recommended a doctor that he knows named Dr. Khalil. After speaking with Dr. Khalil we decided to meet the next day. Dr. Khalil was very comforting and positive which put me at ease. He said, if you're a friend of Lawrence you're a friend of mine. So the following day I went to see him at his office in Beverly Hills. When I walked into the office it was bright and airy and he had a gorgeous receptionist running the office which is a great sign to me. And looking at her in clothes, well, she had amazing breast implants. He evaluated my boobs. Dr Khalil showed me the difference in the quality of breast implants. He told me there are 3 different types and that American made is the best. I held them all in my hands. The American made had a purple tint to it and felt oily compared to the white naturella brand. I was SOLD once I realized I was getting the best quality implants! Afterwards, I showed him pictures of breast sizes that I thought were sexy and beautiful and he helped me to decide on the perfect CC. yay! My breasts naturally are uneven and one is a little bigger than the other. So we decided on 375cc and 400cc silicone. Here are some inspiration pics I showed Dr. Khalil to help achieve the look:) If you are interested in getting in contact with him you can follow him on instagram @drkhalil90210 and check out his website drkhalilmd.com

These were the photos that I showed Dr. Khalil as an inspiration for the look I was trying to achieve.

And a bunch of https://www.victoriassecret.com models I obsess over:) (wink wink)

I was ready to have the surgery immediately and frankly wanted to get it over with. This is something that I have always wanted to do so the day was finally nearing. We decided on that Friday. I contacted a few friends to help me. My girlfriend Catherine Gontran took me to my dr appts. She helped me a lot with deciding on the perfect size. I believe Catherine has 450 cc so she was quite familiar with the process.
My friend Dino Magis offered to pick me up from surgery and stay with me for the first week. If you're thinking about having this surgery I hope you have someone to take good care of you. I was in a lot of pain getting up and laying down. All I remember is being hooked up to an IV in a hospital room. The anesthiologist came to speak with me and a few others. Minutes later I was knocked out like a horse. I remember waking up and saying , dr I'm sorry I fell asleep. I need to go into surgery. Lol. Dr. Khalil said you just came out of surgery Carley. They wheeled me to the car where Dino was waiting for me. With all the Los Angeles traffic he decided to take laurel canyon over to my place. The winding roadside made me so nautious I was soon lying on the ground next to the car throwing up. Hehe. The first week was painful but I was back to work after 5 days. This was a stupid decision on my part. I ended up with pneumonia and bronchitis and I'm sure it is due to not taking more time to heal.

So now here we are over a year later. I have had so many compliments on my breast implants. I have heard over and over again that Dr. Khalil did the best job on them. I could go on all day about what a great Dr. he is. If you're considering getting any work done I truly recommend him.

Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys!!! I'm a huge country music fan. When I was a little girl I lived in Dallas, Texas. I went to a school till my 2nd grade year before moving back to Beaver County, Pa. I had so much fun at the Fort Worth Stock Yards and the rodeo's! I shot these pics for a possible project that I was hoping to work on in the next few months. When I got the call I was so excited. So fingers crossed! I have a bunch of new products that came in the mail this week so I will be shooting some new stuff! Boots & cowgirl hat from : http://ifa-coop.com
