Revlon Nail Enamel Fruitful Temptations: Mad About Mango

I love the latest Revlon Nail Enamel Fruitful Temptations collection. Each fresh shade has a matching luscious fruit scent! The 8 shades are inspired by the freshness of exotic summer fruits and infused with succulent tropical scents. Each fruit shade has a matching fruit scent when the enamel is dry. Marta’s favorite, which I’m wearing right now as I blog, Mad About Mango. It’s is the perfect coral nail polish for the summer!

My inspiration for coral nails came from J. Crew Catalogues. Their models were wearing coral shade nail polish in one of their Spring/Summer catalogues. I finally found Mad About Mango from the new Revlon Nail Enamel Fruitful Temptations collection and I’m very happy:) 

Revlon Nail Enamel Fruitful Temptations other shades include: Coconut Crush, Pretty In Papaya, Sublime Strawberry, raspberry Rapture, Mon Cherry, Passionate Fruit, No So Blue-Berry.

How To Get The Sophisticated & Tailored Look of Well-Suited With Prescriptives

The Fall 2009 Color Collection is “Well-Suited” at Prescriptives: Tailored menswear-inspired looks are showing up in many Fall fashion collections. Prescriptives supports this dramatic statement with Well-Suited, a Fall Color Collection that translates this edgy, yet feminine style into a range of sophisticated shades from tweedy browns to silky purples.

Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry Jillian Veran explains how to achieve the sophisticated and tailored look of Well-Suited: “We all love a good lip gloss, but there is something incredibly feminine about the bold statement of a lipstick…in this collection the look of a creamy nude lipstick is accentuated by a strong eye liner…create a sharp straight line or a smudgy, sexy look, but either way you will want to line the inside rim for extra drama.”

Get the Look:Hayden Panettiere at the 2009 “I Love You, Beth Cooper” Screening

Get a sneak peek to Hayden Panettiere’s makeup look at 2009 “I Love You, Beth Cooper” Screening!

Hayden Panettiere’s makeup is all by NEUTROGENA.

Makeup Artist Amy Oresman collaborated with NEUTROGENA brand ambassador Hayden Panettiere to create the starlet’s look for the New York City premiere of “I Love You, Beth Cooper”, and now shares how you can achieve this gorgeous look on your own:

Inspiration: Hayden’s look was inspired by old Hollywood glamour – with a new young twist. This is one of my favorite makeup looks for a starlet. It’s sexy and subtle.

Eyes: I wanted to create a subtle smoky eye that wouldn’t fight with the bright juicy lip we were planning on using on Hayden. To create this look I started by using NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad in Blue Smoke, this created a subtle smoke to the eye by using graphites and blues, which are not as harsh as black. I then framed the eye with NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eyeliner in Cosmic Black, which has a slight glossy sheen creating just a hint of drama around the perimeter of the eye. I topped the look off with NEUTROGENA Healthy Volume Black Mascara. This look is all about lashes and lips. This mascara is perfect for the three coats of mascara used to create ultra volume.
