Yellow Shimmer Eyeshadow is a Hit Makeup Trend for Summer 2011!

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 00:07:22 +0000

Are you in a serious funk about how to brighten up your eyes and mode for summer 2011?

In the past seasons, summer makeup trends have been too funky to translate well for most everyday women. With the ethereal but totally functional yellow shimmer eyeshadow trend, your makeup and look will never be the same! With yellow shimmer eyeshadow, it’s entirely possible to morph from day to night and make you look happier in the process!

Application Tip: Apply some eyeshadow in the inner corners and bottom lash liner to open up and energize your eyes.

The difference is now that the yellow shimmer eyeshadow you see for sale is less chalky, flaky and heavy than it was in the past couple of seasons. This makes for a more sheer application. A more sheer application means easier blending.

What should you do now? Don’t wait, buy a few shades of yellow shimmer eyeshadow today to enhance your day look or recreate your whole night look. Whatever you choose, it’ll be daring and desirable alike.

Get Intense: Add Blush to Your Routine to Get An Intensely Feminine Look

Are you in search of a way to get a more feminine look without spending a mint on makeup?

In the past few Spring seasons, eyeshadows and lip colors have been the way to drastically change your look. However, this can be a very costly way to change up your makeup routine, as well as it’s very time consuming. With the addition of just a little powder blush, you can get the intensely feminine look of a true sex pot (*just kidding*) without breaking your bank. Truly when you buy powder blush you can use it to add as little or as much depth as you want to.

Kiss Off the Competition: Work Bold Matte Lip Colors for Spring

admin — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 13:00:27 +0000

Do you need a new lip alluring look for Spring that will put the life back in your pout it lacked in those cold Winter months?

Past seasons have brought you beauty trends for the lips that were either bold or matte, but never both. This has allowed beauty mavens like yourself to have lips that either drew attention but were too glossy, lips that were moisturized and healthy but blended into the background, or lips that had a bold look that was way too dark for the Spring season. When you buy bold matte lip colors, you’ll get the best of both worlds by having your lips draw attention, but be healthy, moisturized and in a hot color for the Spring season.

All of your lip fantasies will come to true when you buy bold matte lip colors that compliment your complexion and your style. What’s different about this new beauty trend is that the range of shades that’s available easily adapts to this trend and no woman is left out of the loop. No matter how fair or deep your complexion is, there is an eqaully fabulous shade that will look good on you! Some colors that are a hit with this trend are matte corals, matte pinks, and matte reds. My biggest beauty tip is for you to try on a bold matte lip color from each color category until you find shades of coral, pink and red that look good on you. This will allow you to have a matte lip color appropriate for every occasion.

So where will you go when you buy bold matte lip colors in every shade? I know where I’ll be going, so let me know some of your favorites shades of matte coral, matte pink, and matte red this season and where you wear each color!

Beauty Review: SEPHORA by OPI Chic Print fot Nails

admin — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 12:00:41 +0000

Great Alternative to Mani

“I bought the tiger print patches and they are absolutely adorable. They are pretty easy to use once you get the hang of them and are a great alternative to a manicure. Additionally, once you apply them you don’t have to wait any time for drying as you would with traditional nail polish. If you like a polished look, or are a do-it-yourself type I highly recommend these.”

Review by ASpice

What it is:
A breakthrough array of precut nail patches for extraordinary nails, instantly!

What it does:
This innovative line, brewed by Minx (and loved by your favorite celebrities) creates customized nails, featuring fierce patterns and prints to satisfy your wildest mani-and-pedi dreams. Dress your tips with your favorite design: anchor, stars, checkers, tiger, fishnet, chrome lace, black & gold geometric, or skulls.

What else you need to know:
One set of Chic Print for Nails contains 16 nail patches of varying widths, for a one-time application to fingers or toes. The nail patch is a solid-film material with an adhesive back that is activated by friction. The warmth from friction creates conformability, allowing the patch to fit over the compound curves of your nails and seal onto the nail bed. The patent-pending material removes easily by rubbing and peeling off.

I love these!

“I bought the Chrome Lace pattern for the holidays and received so many compliments! Not only are they super fun, but they also last much longer than the package says (1-2 days). I’ve been wearing mine for over a week now and they are still in amazing condition. Definitely a great purchase!”

Beauty Review: DuWop Private Lipstick

admin — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 12:00:08 +0000

Both the Plum and the Red are my favorites

“I fell in love with Private Red, rich brown toned red that adheres perfectly to lips, and makes them look fuller. Every single time I wear it, I get compliments, and I am a red lipstick person, and it is specifically when I wear Private Red. I need a new tube soon!
I dont see the color changing qualities, but it is a fabulous product in a gorgeous silver tube.
So now I tried the Private Plum. It is equally stupendous. A more natural look, a pink plum that has the same creaminess and staying power of Red, but it does also leave a plummy stain, which I do not notice the red doing ( leaving a red stain) …which for me is great as my lips are naturally pale.
I would say give either of the these colors a try.
I am very happy with DuWops lipsticks.”

Review by becx

What it is:
A unique, color-changing lipstick that morphs into each woman’s personal private shade.

What it does:
Private Lipstick’s proprietary formula includes a blend of three naturally derived pigments, annatto, hibiscus, and henna, and the technology behind the classic “mood lipsticks” of the seventies to provide a vibrant shade that adapts to suit each individual’s coloring. Annatto lends a rich pigment base, while hibiscus flowers offer gentle antiseptic properties, and henna leaves behind a long-lasting stain. Additional hydrating ingredients such as beeswax, castor oil, and Vitamin E keep the lip color lightweight and emollient.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

What else you need to know:
Private Lipsticks adapt to each person’s distinctive chemistry and will adjust accordingly, providing the perfect hue for their coloring. These ultra silky hydrating lipsticks go on smooth and the rich pigment leaves behind a trace of stain.

“I like it, very creamy & the shade works for me!”

Beauty Review: Korres Wild Rose Mineral Foundation

admin — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:00:07 +0000

Great Powder!!!

“This powder is fabulous! I have to agree with all the other reviews. I usually never wear powder…my skin is on the dry side….but this does not dry it out (the other reviewer said It made her face feel dry and tight)…I do not experience that at all. I usually only wear a primer (I use Korres…luv it!!) and tinted moisturizer (I was using Josie Maran…it is good…very moisturizing but thick and I broke out but this gives the same glow. I do have big pores and this works great. It’s quick, easy, looks and feels great!!”

Review by coffeegrl

What it is:
A 100% natural, SPF 30 brightening mineral foundation.

What it does:
This talc-free, loose powder foundation contains brightening Wild Rose extract. Its texture allows skin to breathe, and its healing formula helps to reduce lines and wrinkles while repairing uneven skintone.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

The best!

“Like may other people, I have tried every mineral makeup out there. My two favorites for everyday being Laura Mercier & Lancome, (respectively). I have actually been hoping Korres would come out with a mineral makeup, so I was excited to try it, & happy to try another mineral makeup all together. & boy am I happy! This is by far, and I will say it again, by far, superior to any of my favorite mineral makeups. This looks so natural, & goes on smooth with no fussing, it actually took me less time to get ready this morning, literally five minutes. On top of just looking great & feeling great, I just took an impromptu hour hike & my makeup looks even better. My skin looks like it is glowing, not dry, or settling into my pores like some mineral makeups. This will be the new foundation in my makeup bag. Also I have yellow undertones with medium/fair skin, running closer to the fair side during the winter months, & the fair2 was not too pink for me at all. In fact the colors do run a bit darker than some I have tried, not too dark, it’s just when you put on the fair it does not look like you are wearing ghost white makeup, or a white powder. I always purchase a shade lighter since throughout the day my makeup always darkens slightly & looks natural with the darkening. But I did not have to wait a couple hours for this makeup to look natural, it did the second I put it on, and still does after sweating during the hike.”
