Giorgio Armani holiday collection 2012

This holiday season, Giorgio Armani Beauty takes inspiration from the various nuances of light on cold wintery days, creating a play of color and shadow reminiscent of the moment when night draws in and the moonlight brings out pure translucent reflections.

eylure False Eye Lashes

On my recent trip to the new Hooters in Scottsdale Arizona, because you know I like to check what’s new in my hood. I am quite the explorer. I chatted with one of the waitress and I couldn’t help loving her eye lashes so I had to ask. She recommended eylure and said it’s available at ULTA. So off I went and bought it! They are so light so you don’t even feel you’re wearing fake eye lashes and they blend easily with my natural eye lashes. The only thing the adhesive it comes with is not that great so I used DUO eye lash adhesive clear-white waterproof.

Carly Rae Jepsen At The 2012 American Music Awards

“We wanted to create a look that would mimic the softness and femininity of Carly Rae Jepsen’s dress, while still remaining sexy. The colors on her dress were baby pink, teal, and gold – very feminine, but it was also very form fitting with an open back that gave it a little edge.”-Celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow

Jouer Cosmetics

I just discovered Jouer Cosmetics and I’m very impresses with the packaging and formulas. I especially like their face products for getting that flawless skin, they are oil free, fragrance free and paraben free which is a major thing for me. I like beauty brands that make an effort to make their products using ‘good for you’ ingredients  as oppose to loading them with chemicals, oils, and lanolin (which is BTW the sebum coming from sheeps an animal by product which I like to refer to as ‘sheep juice’ ha!) Here’s my week with Jour cosmetics product rundown:

Beauty Essentials For The Gym

Beauty essentials for the gym begin before you even set foot out the door. I like to be a full-fledged skin and makeup routing prepared and ready – yes, even to go to the gym. I’m talking about wearing a deodorant and shaving your legs and private parts because you don’t want to be mistaken for a wild animal in the sauna or steam room. You want to smell good; have smooth, flawless and clean skin; and have fresh breath as you come in the gym. Because going to the gym is a social thing, you never know whom you might bump into. Here’s my list of beauty essentials for the gym. These products might help you feel confident and ready to conquer any workout routine.
