Sick of the Red lip? Try Orange instead…

Posted in Makeup by

Hola!  I don’t know about you guys but I am getting a little sick of the “red lip”.  It seems that every blogger, fashionista and young/mature women has been rocking it hard all Fall and Winter.  Don’t get me wrong I did too but I am ready to let it go and move forward.  Up next—Orange!

I am loving this editorial in the April issue of W Magazine that features Carolyn Murphy with a pouty orange lip.  Actually it is called Stay Coral by Estee Lauder and I want it!  This cheeky color is perfect for Spring and will look great against neons, florals and neutrals.  So will you be ditching your Fall fave and going for Orange?  Do tell…

Iris Apfel for MAC

Posted in Celebs, Makeup by

Hola!  Can you believe that the fab and always fashionable Iris Apfel is 90?  Age is definitely just a number for her as she recently teamed up with MAC cosmetics to launch makeup that reaches the masses of every age group.  In the past MAC has collaborated with Lil Kim, Mary J. Blige and Nicki Minaj to name a few; however it is good that they aren’t ageists in any way and relating to all of their customers.  Items for your lips, eyes and nails are named after birds and range from $14 to $23.  I am loving that fierce red lip that she is rocking.  All sounds good to me, will you be checking out the line on January 5th?

For more deets check the source here.  Enjoy!

Molton Brown Pamper Party Event

Posted in Events & Happenings, Makeup by

Hola!  Last Thursday evening I was invited by my friend and beauty blogger Laura of http://lafoutloudbeauty.com to attend a pamper party at the Molton Brown store in Soho.  Although I had heard of the brand before I wasn’t at all familiar with the vast amount  of services/products that they offered.  Skin, hair, body, candles, men, and women products are all offered in the shop; as well as scheduled massages and facials.  Their products are very luxurious and definitely stand out amongst other brands that I have tried.  At the party we were provided with hand massages, stress reliever temple massages, product info, giveaways, and goodie bags.  I had a wonderful time at this event and I do plan a trip back soon to purchase my new fave—Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod lotion!

Much thanks to Laura and Molton Brown for the invite and hosting such a fab event.  For more go to www.moltonbrown.com.

My Wandering Eyes…went shopping

Posted in Fashion, Makeup, Shopping by

Hola peeps!  I hope that you are keeping cool in this heatwave!  As for me well, I’ve been having a very lazy Saturday doing a little online window shopping.  Here are a few items that I think would look awesome together for a summer bbq, movie date or simply hanging out.  As much as I say I don’t want to buy any more summer goods these are making it very hard to resist.  Are you still doing summer shopping or have you moved on to Fall?  To purchase any of these items go to www.revolveclothing.com.  Enjoy!

Posted in Makeup, What I'm Diggin Wednesday by

Hola peeps!  Finally mid-week is here and I can see the weekend light…haha.  I stumbled upon Sophy Robson’s site and instantly feel in love with her creative nail art.  She is a talented, luxury nail artist with a whole lot of pizzazz!  I was even more eager to check her out once I found out that she was collaborating with Sephora  **can’t wait for their nail bar to open at the Times Square location**.  Check out her work…enjoy!

 

Sephora says wear “Vivid Brights” this Summer

Posted in Makeup by

Hola peeps!  I hope all is good.  Did you know that Sephora has a new YouTube channel?  I don’t know how I missed that one.  As mentioned before I am not much of a make up chica, however I cannot do without my Sephora High glosses in #04 and #07 as well as my BareMinerals Mineral Veil.  Oh and I must not leave out that I buy my CD Tui and Shea Butter Oil Sheen from there as well.  It is pretty cool they have how-tos, product reviews, fan videos and more!  The video I have chosen to feature is their makeup trend pick of Summer 2011—”Vivid Brights“.

What’s on your makeup radar this Summer?  Will you be going bright?  Check it out…enjoy!

Flawless Face and Hair—Kourtney Kardashian

Posted in Celebs, Makeup by

Hola!  I hope that your Saturday is going great.  Kourt was recently on ‘Extra‘ with Mario Lopez and she looked amazing!  Her makeup was flawless—smooth skin, long lashes and a pretty red pout!  Since being natural I don’t straighten with heat anymore; however seeing a pic of her luscious  mane (even if some are added pieces) is when I miss my long straight hair just a wee bit ;o(  Needless to say I think that she looks fab….don’t you agree?
