We hope we've found you in a festive mood, caught up on your beauty sleep ~ or at the very least, well caffeinated. With a mere three weeks until the JustAskBoo Fifth Anniversary party {Have you RSVP'd yet? It's October 3!} Team JAB is already abuzz with chatter over cocktail hours {It's 5 o'clock somewhere!}, cocktail dresses {Whatever will you wear?!}, cocktail rings, signature cocktails {A must have, said Bethenny}, cocktail sauce and, lest we forget, Tom Cruise's 1988 romantic comedy Cocktail. It will be night to remember in Miami's fashionable Wynwood Art District, JABBERS, and we can't wait to see you there!
To get ready for our soirée, we went straight to a professional for pointers on party make-up. {Here's a hint: break out the black liner.} All that and more in this week's beauty based issue of JAB Ft. Lauderdale.
Stay beautiful, JABBERS. We'll see you October 3!
~ Team JAB

Talk it OutI love my husband, but after 20 years of marriage we have started to grow apart. I am now very tempted to have an affair. I am hoping a therapist can help me to stop feeling this way. If you have experience with this issue or can recommend to the right counselor, please contact me. Thank you!

Party Animal
Express your animal instincts through liquid liner, the cat and doe eye is back in black! Don't know the difference? Think Sophia Loren vs. Marilyn Monroe.
Pretty in Pastels
Pastels (high-shine or dusty cast) surrounding the eye are popping up all over. Delicate and romantic, avoid going too neutral with your lipstick. A bright orange or coral provides the perfectly paired pout!
A Bright Idea
Saturated shades are in style. We see bright blue, purple, yellow, orange and green and the eyes and bold reds on the lips. It's a fun and sophisticated look for South Florida.
Cheeky Advice
Blush wisely! Your rule for party night: If your lip color is bright, use a neutral blush. If your lip is neutral, use a brighter blush.
Try Blue Nail Poilsh
Trends are trends! Have fun, experiment and adopt those that work best with your signature look. Your make-up should be as individual as your signature.

Losing My Marble(s)I am dying to redo my floors, but the thought of having to remove all the marble in my home, especially with all my built-in furniture and floor-to-ceiling glass columns, is terrifying.
