OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Collections from Urban Decay and OPI - Get the Look of Glinda or Theodora

2013-02-07T21:04:00.000-06:00

I was so excited to get this box in the mail this week! I love presents, and this one is special. To celebrate the upcoming Disney sure-to-be-blockbuster OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, both Urban Decay and OPI have created special collections honoring the colorful women of Oz - Glinda and Theodora - the "good and bad" witches.

Urban Decay features both a Glinda Collectible Palette and a Theodora Collectible Palette, each containing eyeshadows, eye pencil and high-gloss lip color, including never-before-seen shades! The carefully chosen colors let you recreate Glinda’s ethereal, spellbinding look or Theodora’s captivating, edgy look.

You'll find eight all new and exclusive eye shadows in six pans (this set includes two duo-shades that are split in half, with a different color on each side of the pan). Every shade features Urban Decay’s Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients giving each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability. Oh - you also get a card that shows you just how to create the bewitching looks!

Plus, the cool thing is that they each incorporate Urban Decay’s Build Your Own Palette format. That means when you use up the original shades (or want to change things up a little), you just pop them out and pop your favorite shadows right into the collectible tin with a beautiful design and the film name imprinted in foil letters.

The Oz the Great and Powerful collection from OPI let's you transform your nails into reflections of the bewitching Glinda and Theodora. It contains four bottles each in a brand new shade - I Theodora You, Don't Burst My Bubble, Glints of Glinda and What Wizardry is This? The set offers a wide range of variety from the sheer pink of I Theodora You to the funky taupe with textured matte sheen of What Wizardry is This?

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL lands in theaters on March 8th!

Experience the Richness with Suave - Fashion Tips from George Kotsiopoulos and a Reader Giveaway!!

2013-01-31T11:43:00.001-06:00

New and improved Suave Body Lotions have a richer, thicker formula that lasts all day - giving you skin that is silky soft from dawn ‘til dusk.

Beautiful skin is the foundation for a beautiful look and Suave is teaming up with celebrity fashion stylist and TV host George Kotsiopoulos who shares these tips on achieving red carpet style.

TIP #1: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RIGHT FOUNDATION
No matter how chic your outfit is, it’s important to get all the details right and that includes a stunning silhouette and beautifully moisturized skin. Make sure to use a body shaper under your dress (yes, we all need a little cinch now and then!) and get glowing skin with dermatologist tested Suave® Skin Solutions Advanced Therapy Body Lotion. It has rich hydrators that moisturize the skin’s surface to make skin smooth, soft and more beautiful. Plus, it is clinically proven to moisturize for up to 24 hours – so you can look fabulous from dawn ‘til dusk.

TIP #2: GET THE FIT RIGHT
The right tailoring can make or break an outfit. Most women have a hard time finding dresses that fit their bodies right off the rack. If you try on a gown and it pulls in all the wrong places, go a size larger and then find a trust-worthy tailor to make it perfect for your body (pull in the waist, hug the hips, hem up the straps and any other details).

TIP #3: MAKE A STATEMENT – JUST ONE!
When we think about accessorizing, it is sometimes tough not to go overboard, but always remember that you need just one focal point with every award-winning outfit. If you’re wearing an elaborate dress, keep everything else very simple (including hair, make-up and accessories). On the other hand, if your dress is very simple, then pair with it elaborate jewels or dramatic hair and makeup so that you to really stand out.

TIP #4: BE BOLD WITH COLOR
Black is always chic (and safe!), but unless it’s over-the-top, it can be forgettable and that’s no way to win “best dressed” this season. Make an entrance by wearing a bold color that flatters your skin tone. How to know your best hue? We all have one color that elicits multiple compliments every time we wear it and that is your best color (public opinion rules this decision!). Of course, color will not truly shine if your skin doesn’t look radiant, so pair this bold look with Suave® Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea. It has a new richer formula that instantly relieves dryness to soften rough, dry skin and replenishes moisture for up to 24 hours.

TIP #5: BE YOURSELF!
Don’t worry about trends or what everyone else might be wearing. Use your own sense of style to choose an A-list ensemble. Wear what you feel confident in and what looks great on you; not only will you look amazing, but your confidence will radiate.

Visit the Suave Beauty Facebook page to get tips for beautiful skin and more style advice straight from George!

Reader Giveaway: Four lucky Beauty by Jinxy readers will win Suave Skin Solutions Body Lotion, available in three types:

Suave® Skin Solutions Advanced Therapy Body Lotion
Suave® Skin Solutions Smoothing Body Lotion with Cocoa Butter & Shea
Suave® Skin Solutions Soothing Body Lotion with Aloe

Look Great AND Feel Great in Your Heels with Foot Petals

2013-01-31T10:41:00.000-06:00

We all love to wear fabulous shoes. Nothing makes your legs look longer and leaner than a great pair of heels. And during these cold days of winter, add in tights or leggings in a coordinating, flowing color and you have awesome Amazon-woman legs! (Well maybe not exactly an Amazon, but you’ll look amazing!)

The one drawback to those super-sexy heels is that they don’t always make our feet feel so fabulous, especially after a long day of work, a shopping trip around town or a long night of dancing. Foot Petals has great solutions to make your feet feel great and still let you look great. They have everything from insoles for shoes, to arch support cushions, spot cushions and more.

I actually had a chance to try out a few of their products after meeting up with their reps at a party during BlogHer in NYC this past summer. That convention was filled with LONG days and really fun, but also long nights. I had made the not-so-smart decision of trying out a new pair of shoes that was cutting into the back of my heels. The back of heel cushions went into my shoes in just a few seconds and then provided me with hours of relief!

Another thing that always makes me suffer is the pressure that high heels put on the ball of my foot – I think it’s just too much weight on such a little part of your body when wearing heels! Foot Petals offers Tip Toes, which are ball-of-foot cushions. You just slip those right inside your shoe, where the ball of your foot hits the inside of your shoe, and voila!! Relief!

So next time you’re ready to slip on those fantastic looking heels, but feel a little dread about the pain that may follow….just arm yourself ahead of time with the proper tools from Foot Petals!

Winter Fashion - Layer with No nonsense Tights and Leggings

2013-01-21T05:00:00.001-06:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

One of the bad things about living in a cold climate is that winter tries to put a real damper on fashion. It takes a little more work to look fabulous when it involved lots (and lots) of layers to protect against the elements. But, that really is the key - LAYERS - along with making sure as much of your body is covered as possible.

Thanks to fashionable (and inexpensive) No nonsense tights and leggings you can create a HOT outfit even in the most bitter cold days of winter.

To give you an idea to start with, check out this outfit that provides warmth with a sweater, scarf boots and No nonsense leggings. Extra coverage equals extra warmth.

No nonsense tights/leggings can be easily found at food & drug stores as well as mass retail stores at affordable everyday prices.

One more piece of exciting news - Designer Jill Martin in teaming up with No nonsense as an Ambassador and style expert. If the name rings a bell, but you don't remember Jill, she is also the New York Correspondent for Access Hollywood and wrote the bestselling style guide “I Have Nothing to Wear!” She's an expert at making the most out of every outfit in your closet without spending a fortune, so she is the perfect fit with the No nonsense brand!

Tell me if you think its wrong that the very first thing I thought when I saw the Presidential Oath of Office photos was "She has bangs!!" Apparently I'm not the only one to take notice. Doing a quick Google search, there is a lot of reaction to the new "do" over the last few days. So, what's your opinion? To bang or not to bang?
