Madonna’s On Late Show With David Letterman

Madonna appeared on Late Show With David Letterman recently and I happen to love her hairstyle. I’m a beauty blogger after all and I notice these things. I love the wide side part, the length, bit of wave, and volume. I wonder who did Madonna’s hair. And, she looks amazing for a woman in her 50’s. Madonna is the perfect example of  “you are as old as you feel”. Quite inspiring!

Do you also love Madonna’s hair on the Late Show With David Letterman, or it’s just me?:)

Watch Madonna’s interview with David Letterman, just in case you’ve missed it:

Armani Beauty Reveals the A-List Essentials at Bloomies 59th St!

This week, Giorgio Armani Beauty unveils the secret to achieving the perfect complexion with the debut of the “Armani A-List Essentials”.

 

Giorgio Armani Beauty Celebrity Makeup Artist Tim Quinn has hand selected his favorite pieces from the collection that are essential to his highly coveted makeup kit. “There are a few products that I use on all of my celebrity clients – from Sophia Bush to January Jones – in order to achieve that flawless complexion. I always start with the Fluid Master Primer to create a smooth surface and follow with a foundation that is appropriate for both my client’s skin tone and complexion. I finish by applying Fluid Sheer liquid highlighter along the outer edge of the eye and along the tops of the cheek bones to create that perfect luminous glow. The one tool that I use with all three products and absolutely cannot live without is our Blender Brush – it’s my secret weapon!”

Khloe Kardashian Says “I Do” To Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara

Sandy Linter, celebrity makeup artist and Lancôme’s Beauty at Every Age Expert, has told us that her bridal clients always ask to look like a Kardashian on their big day. Well, now that Khloe has tied the knot with L.A. Laker Lamar Odom, Sandy has a true blue Kardashian bride to reference.

We thought Khloe looked beautiful and now we know why. Khloe’s makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic told  that he finished the bride’s smoky eyes with Lancôme Hypnôse Custom Volume Mascara mascara. “It’s Khloe’s fave!” raved sister Kim, OK!’s contributing beauty editor. “He wanted her youthful look to shine through and kept her makeup natural and dewy,” added Kim. We say mission accomplished!

Not surprisingly, Hypnôse Custom Volume Mascara, $24.50, remains one of Lancôme’s best-selling mascaras. Its patented brush and fluid, vitamin B5-enriched formula deliver six times the volume, all without a clump or a smear.

MAC Style Black: MAC Young Punk Eye Shadow

I love these three products from the NEW MAC Style Black makeup collection: Young Punk Eye Shadow, Glimmerglass Blackfire, and Greasepaint Stick! They are the perfect black purple shade, or eggplant. Great color to add to your fall makeup bag!

The MAC Greasepaint Stick is an amazing eye liner! If you are looking for The eye liner you might want to give this one a go. It has a bit of a thick point, yet super easy to apply and to get that perfect line on top of lids, or even bottom lids. And the pigment is to die for. It’s super dark purple with black. This MAC eye liner takes the black eye liner into a whole new level.

Lindsay Lohan’s Debut As The Creative Director For Ungaro

I haven’t seen Ungaro’s Spring 2010 collection which was debuted during Paris Fashion Week this weekend, but I must admit, I’m very curious. Lindsay Lohan was recently appointed to be Ungaro’s Creative Director and this was Lindsay’s first presentation. Lindsay collaborated with Spanish designer Estrella Archs for this show.

What do you think guys, would Lindsay Lohan make a brilliant fashion designer or she should just stick to acting?

Rihanna At The Dior Show In Paris

Rihanna was seen out for the Dior show in Paris few days ago dressed up in black in a very dramatic, some might even say an OTT outfit. I actually love Rihanna’s dress and would wear it myself. Hey, you are learning more about the Marta! I just love black, and I’m 5’2, so short dresses and skirts are my best friends. I also love fashion shows especially when they take place in the city of lights!  YES, I even would wear the hat.

This is a bit off topic, what is this rumor I hear Rihanna is now dating Justin Timberlake? WHAT!?
