April 2011 Favorites!!

2011-05-01T21:25:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone!

I just recently put up a video on my YouTube on all my favourite products of the month of April! I find that this month I got way more products for my hair and face compared to the month of March. March was more scattered. But in the video I talked about around 17 products that I have been using in April and purchased in April!

It's a nice balance between hair, makeup and face products! So I hope that all of you head over to either my YouTube Channel and check out this video or just click on the link below that will bring you directly to the video!

It means a lot when I have people viewing my video's, leaving comments and subscribing to my channel. It really brightens my day and gives me a lot of motivation to continue making videos. It means just as much as all of you coming to my blog and reading my posts. I try to make them as interesting as possible and a wide variety of topics. Sometimes I do slack on writing but I've been trying to post more often on more random things.

FYI: Sale at Sears and a little mascara talk!

2011-04-30T23:12:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone!

This post is mostly for my Canadian readers! I love the mascara from Clinique, the high impact mascara to be exact. My mom got a little test tube that last quite a long time though from one of the Clinique gift bags that you get for free after you spend so much money. I really loved the mascara but I've always been one to use pharmacy brand mascara. I've been using the Cover Girl Volume Exact (comes in a red tube) for years now but I thought I would try a new mascara. The only problem with Clinique is that the mascara cost like $26. So I decided I could wait a few months until Sears has their sale with Clinique products where you spend $26.50 and you get a free gift bag with a 7day scrub, a moisturizer, an eye makeup palette, a lipstick, a little trail mascara, a cute makeup bag and probably a few other things. This month the Clinique makeup and face products are finally on sale after I've waited for months! The extra gift bag is a retail value of $70. Since I said I could wait I find it's totally worth waiting so I can get the free gift bag (even though I won't use majority of things in it! haha).

The only thing I hate about these sales is that they make it $26.50 before taxes and majority of the lipstick, mascara, eyeshadow and so on cost $26 and under so you have to go find something else that is just as expensive to buy with your original purchase so you can get the free gift. Like I said I think, although I'm not 100% certain that my mascara I want to get cost $26 but you have to spend $26.50 to get the gift which means I need to pick up a lip gloss or lipstick for like $12-16 to get the gift. At the end of the day is it worth it? I guess it depends what you want and how much is cost. I'm just hoping that my mascara cost $26.50+ so I don't have to get another product.

I would be highly disappointed if I waited a few months for the sale to happen and the mascara is only $26 which would make .50cents short of the minimum requirement. Then I would have to look at what free gifts I would be getting and if it's worth it or should I head back to the pharmacy and try out a new mascara for $6. Which may very well be the case since I have coupons to save $1-3 on CoverGirl, L'Oreal and Maybeline mascara!

But I thought I would share with all of you who are near a Sears and like Clinique products that they have a sale going on where if you spend $26.50 or more you get a free gift valued at $70!! Also if you spend so much you get a free $20 gift card for your next Clinique purchase. I'm only looking for mascara but I know many people love the Clinique face wash line and acne wash line also!

Best and Worst Look of April!

2011-04-26T17:47:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone!

It's that time again, the best and worst look of the month of April already! I feel as though I just posted on the best and worst magazine covers of March. This month I decided to stick to the original format of picking out my favourite celebrity look and well the biggest hot mess look of the month. I was going to do post something different like I did last month with the magazine covers but as I was searching through celebrity appearances pictures I came across Helen Mirren or should I say Dame Helen who looked so freakin' fantastic!!! I thought I had picked out my best dressed star a few weeks ago but today I found Helen at the premiere of Arthur and I knew that she was the best dressed of the month. I didn't have to look at any other picture. I saved it and now I'm here writing about how amazing she looks.

Helen Mirren: Seriously she looks so GOOOOOD!!! I can't believe it, maybe it's because I love leopard print. My mom has everything in leopard so I learned to love the print also but here Helen just looks so bad ass. She's a wearing a long flowing Dolce & Gabana dress but the silouette to this dress is beautiful, it fits her so well and makes her look stunning. Plus that leather jacket make take the look from flowy and soft to modern and rocker. I love the hair off the face to give it more of an edgy look and the diamond hooped earrings add to the rocker vibe. And well the cuffs on the jacket are leopard too and that just rocks! She is up there on my favourite look of the year!

Honorable mention Minka Kelly: This was the look I was going to pick for the best look of April until I saw Helen Mirren but I think this is such a cute spring dress. I love the neck line on her and how it flares out at the waste. Plus this animal print looks so good on her. I like how she paired it with a simple nude shoe because the dress is bold and the best thing to do is pair the look with a simple heel. And looking at the other shoes in the picture her shoes are killer!

Hot Mess Look

The hot mess look goes to Kira Knightly. I have two different picture of her this month and I know she does have a different style but I have seen her wear beautiful clothes and look great but this month she was far from mark.

Here the look isn't as bad as the second look from her because she does have nice pieces like the jean jacket. I love the jean jacket I think it would look great paired with leggings and longer tight shirt but with this flowy no shape dress it doesn't work. It looks too bulky. The dress just falls and doesn't have a shape and the boots just add to the bulkyness of the look and the big boho bag.

This is my pick for the worst look of April. Kira is wearing a design by Rodarte. I don't even know what to say about this look. The saying that a picture speaks 1000 words should sum up this look. It's like little orphan Annie meets the Partridge Family. The shape, colour, pattern and texture is all wrong. I wouldn't even hang this as curtains in my room. And the colour is so similar to hers so it completely washes her out and well the shape isn't even there and the ruffles do nothing. I really can't explain how unflattering this look is. I would just have to say look at the picture and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

This months favourite colour and perfect spring dress:

I think Gwyneth Paltrow looks hot here. Her hair is slightly curled/wavy and that is very in this spring! Her makeup is fresh and simple and the dress is just amazing on her. It fits her like a glove. The only thing is that silk is very unforgiving so if you need to have a great figure like Gwyn does to pull off this look. But why this is a great spring choice is the bold vibrant colour. I love yellow and this yellow screams sunshine and happy which is perfect to get our moods out of the winter blues and the rainy spring time. I like the t-shirt style dress, it says sexy without saying trashy and well her shoes look awesome. It still has a feel of a boot but with an open top and toe makes it a great look for spring!

Jennifer Lopez American Idol April 13

2011-04-19T14:52:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone!

Last week on American Idol, Jennifer Lopez looked amazing. She was named People's most beautiful and she sure proved it the way she was dressed. The entire outfit was gorgeous! Some people might think that the outfit was too busy or a little much with all the glitter and tulle but that's who JLo is. She always has over the top glitter and jewelry and sometimes it doesn't work but last week she was rockin' it! At first I wasn't a big fan of the tulle on the dress because I thought it was positioned weird and didn't need to be there but every time I look at the dress again I started liking the tulle even more. It's a little touch of high fashion and takes the dress from cute, glittery and nice to glam, diva and fashion.

But what I really want to talk about is her hair clip! As my mom and I we're watching the show together we we're also on our computers trying to find a similar sparkling hair clip like hers (which is very hard to find). We found some that we're similar at an affordable price but they we're not the same shape. We found some that we're hearts or squares but I love the circle/oval shape. I'm not a big fan of heart shapes. I did however find a product from Scunci. It's an As Seen On TV hair clip which I will be writing on my next post because I think it deserves it's very on post! Plus I bought a pair and I'll be adding pictures on how it looks and how to put it in!

There we're not many pictures of JLo that I could find from that night on AI. The AI website post pictures of the contestants on their website from each performance but they don't really post any pictures of the judges from the night. I know the whole point of American Idol is for the contestants and it's a talent show so all the media attention should be on the contestants but to be honest one of my favourite parts is watching the judges walk out on the stage to their seats at the start of the show because I can't wait to see what Jennifer Lopez is wearing and its the only time I get to see her full outfit. I really miss Simon, I miss his honesty so now the highlights are seeing my favourite contestants sing and what JLo is wearing!

Love the overall look, she can basically almost pull off anything!

You can't really see it here but I believe the back of the shoe had tulle on it and the heel is metallic!

This is probably why I love the look so much, this hair clip is to die for! And well her hair too, she can do anything with it.

Again only she can pull off glitter hair clip, glitter shoes, glitter dress and glitter makeup without it looking trashy.

What do you guy's think about JLo's look? I find that sometimes she's a hit and miss but what I like is that she is willing to take chances and when she's a hit, she really on it! She looks amazing!

Make Your Own Pore Strip!

2011-04-18T11:18:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone!!

I just finished up a video on how to make and apply your own pore strip. Pore strips can get expensive especially if you want to use them every week to two weeks. This is a great alternative to those more expensive store bought strips. This is an at home remedy using only 2 ingredients!! All you need is unflavoured gelatin which I buy the Knox gelatin in a box it comes with 4 packages and that will last me for a really long time. I bought my pack for only .98cents! Then the second ingredient you need is milk, that's it! It's super easy and it works!!! I'm always trying to find at home remedies or homemade only because it saved on money and the ingredients in the products are better for you.

FYI: 50% off sale!!

2011-04-16T14:50:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone!

This post is more designated to the Canadian readers! I'm not sure if the States have the grocery store Independent but I doubt it. Where I live there is an Independent grocery store that carries Joe Fresh Clothing which is actually really nice clothes at affordable prices. So they decided to only carry Joe Fresh Makeup which means that all their makeup they carry like Maybeline, Cover Girl, L'Oreal, Revelon and so on... have to go!! So all their makeup is right now 50% OFF!!!!!!! My mom and I went and bought around $106 worth of makeup and it only cost us $53 and change!!! We picked up some bonnebell eyeliners, O.P.I and Revelon nail polish, L'Oreal lipstick, Covergirl lipstick and some makeup palettes!

It's such an amazing deal!!! So if you have or are close to an Independent grocery store go check out the deals!!

Put Your Game Face On

2011-04-11T21:27:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone!

This isn't a typical post since I usually talk about hair, makeup and fashion (keep reading I actually do talk about makeup and a great way to change your look) which I think what I'm going to go is update my blog more often with just random stuff about hair, makeup and fashion, this probably doesn't make much sense but you'll see!! Anyways this post is much different because I'm going to talk about my favourite thing on earth The Montreal Canadiens and hockey! I'm a huge hockey fan, well really I love all sports but the hockey season just ended and the Canadiens made the playoffs. On facebook they have this contest where you have to ''Put Your Game Face On'' so I decided to enter in it. I put my war paint on and took pictures for the contest.

I guess in a way I could tie in fashion into this post... As you will some pictures don't have red lipstick and then I decided I wanted to put lipstick on since it would match the teams colours and make the red on the shirt and face stand out more. Adding a bold bright colour to your lips completely changes a look, it makes it more dramatic and there is something about a bright bold red that screams high fashion to me. I attached pictures of no lipstick and red lipstick and well red lipstick may not be for everyone, just try and play around with different colours that go well with your skin tone. I find a fair light skin tone like mine contrasts well with a red lipstick compared to a darker skin tone looks really nice with a light soft pink.

So if you are a hockey fan like myself or a fan of any sporting team, support the team and Put On Your Game Face. It's a great and inexpensive way to show your support and it's fun to do!

And don't forget if you want to change up a look effortlessly then just add some lipstick or a really nice lip gloss. It bring the look from plain to bold and dramatic.

March 2011 Magazine Covers!!

2011-04-02T23:53:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone! Well I usually do the best look and worst look of the month but I thought I would change it up for the month of March. Instead of doing the hottest look and hottest mess I'm going to show my favourite and not so favourite march 2011 magazine covers! I looked at covers of magazine from all over the world and picked what I thought was a hot magazine cover and a hot mess cover! Majority of these magazine's came out before March but magazines come out the month before the dated month, if this makes any sense!! PURPLE text are my favourite looks and BLUE is not my favourite look!

HIGH FASHION LOOK:

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele is on the cover of VOGUE Turkey and she looks amazing. Everything about her screams high fashion. This is what I expect a cover of a fashion magazine to look like especially a Vogue. The low v-cut jumper is beautiful on her and the red lips and red belt adds the extra glamour.

Leighton Meister

Leighton is on the cover of L'OFFCIEL Lithuania. Compared to the Vogue cover of Gisele this cover just falls short. It doesn't scream high fashion to me. she looks unimpressed and not happy. Her face is blank and she's sitting in a weird position. Not my favourite

Diane Kruger and Karl Lagerfeld

Diane and Uncle Karl are on the cover of Glamour Mazagine France. Diane Kruger is beautiful but having Karl Lagerfeld on the cover with her with his back to camera and just staring at her while she's looking into the camera smiling is creepy. He's just staring at her. I don't see why he's in the frame, it just makes it creepy.

TEEN/YOUNG ADULT MAGAZINES:

Miranda Cosgrove

Miranda is on the cover of SEVENTEEN Magazine USA. She is so sweet and innocent and looks beautiful on this cover. She looks like a girl who should be on the cover of Seventeen Magazine. Her hair and jewelry and clothes look great.

Leighton Meister

Leighton on the cover of SEVENTEEN Magazine Malaysia. I hate to pick on Leighton since she has been branching out lately in public trying to wear different styles and this cover isn't bad actually. I just don't like the busy top and necklaces and big blown out hair. The reason I don't like the blown out hair is because it's a close up and I find it looks weird. But she looks happy on this cover which is great but the colour of her lipstick and top are just too much.

Kate Bosworth

Kate on the cover of Nylon Magazine USA. Oh boy, Kate is known as a sweet nice girl like Miranda but this look just screams cheap and dirty. It's something about a mesh shirt, double belts and off the shoulder knit sweater. It doesn't look good together. To me, it looks like she is trying to hard. She's trying to be edgy with the braid and messy hair and different edgy clothes but it comes off as looking bad and trashy. Not my favourite look from this beautiful girl!

CLOSE UP:

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer is on the cover of Glamour Magazine Greece. There is no doubt that Jen is beautiful and gorgeous but I really like this close up on her. She just looks flawless. This is the cover that guys will drool over and girls will wish they look like that. She looks a little more edgy than usually with a smokier eye but still has the soft look with the swooped hair.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth is on the cover of HARPER'S BAZAAR Magazine United Kingdom. Gwyn looks amazing on this close up cover. She is more edgy with a smoky eye and hair blown in her face. I saw her on the cover of InStyle and she had the minimal plain makeup that she usually does but this cover is very different. She looks sexy on this cover.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria is on the cover of ALLURE Magazine USA. This is the final look of the close up covers. Victoria looks so soft and beautiful on this cover. The way the light hits her face and hair just make her face look soft and innocent. It's a very different look than the usual 'Posh' look she gives in public. I really like this cover, it makes me want to read the article and see what she has to say since she looks so nice on the cover.

SEXY COVERS:

Cheryl Cole

Cheryl is on the cover of COSMO Germany. Cheryl I find is one of the most gorgeous girls out there. She has amazing hair, smile, dimples and fashion sense. But on this cover she just fails to impress. Her dress isn't sexy its frumpy and covering her curves. When I think of Cosmo I think of tight dresses that show off the shape of the celeb. This dress just doesn't do that. It's so many different textures that its too busy and takes away from her looks.

Sofia Vergara

Sofia is on the cover of SHAPE Magazine USA. Sofia is known to be sexy so there is no surprise that she makes the list of looking sexy on Shape magazine. But what I like about this cover is that she isn't flaunting her boobs everywhere. A lot of times they are exposed but that isn't the case. She is surprisingly covered up yet looks so sexy. She looks happy and confident and that is what radiates sexiness. Plus I love the colour and cut outs on her waist!

Sara Ramirez

Sara is on the cover of LATINA Magazine USA. This to me is so so so beautiful. Sara looks amazing on this cover. She isn't afraid to show off her curves and she should show them off more often. She looks AMAZING! It reminds me of a twist on old Hollywood glamour. The lingerie is old glamour and the grey button up cardigan makes the look more modern. Just love this cover! Every girl has curves and should not be afraid to show it. Sara is a true role model!

I hope you enjoyed these covers! Just a little twist on the usual best and worst look of the month.

Conair Infiniti You Curl

2011-03-29T16:00:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone!

I just finished my review on the Conair Infiniti You Curl Clamp free curling iron. I really liked this product, you can achieve so many different curls. I have an 1''1/2 big barrel curling iron and I find that it leaves my hair with kinks and lines. But with the clampless curling iron you don't get kinks or lines through your hair. You can achieve a spiral curl like the one I did in my Taylor Swift Tutorial by taking small sections and wrapping it tightly around the barrel. Or you can achieve a looser curl by taking bigger sections. This product only cost me $30 at Walmart and it is worth every penny. I would have spent more money on it because it is really that good of a curling iron. I always use to see vendors in the mall trying to sell hair products and I always saw a clamp free curling iron and wanted to try it but never did because it was too expensive. But this curling iron is really cheap, $30 is nothing considering some hair products like a straightening serum can cost around the same thing. This product is a As Seen On TV product and I suggest you go out and get one if you are sick and tired of having multiple curling irons to achieve different looks or are getting kinks and lines through your hair like me!

Go check out my video on YouTube where I talk all about this curling iron and show you the different features: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzYmgKEoR5s

Disclaimer: Just wanted to let you know that all opinions are my own and this post/video is not sponsored, I just really love this product! This goes for everything I write about!

Taylor Swift Inspired Hair

2011-03-26T00:29:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone! I just finished doing a Taylor Swift Inspired Hair Tutorial on YouTube. Taylor's hair is her signature. She has beautiful curls, I would describe them as a spiral curl. I had a request to do a tutorial on how to get her curls. So I started watching some videos and reading articles on how she does her hair and she said that she uses a clamp free curling iron. So I decided to try it out with my Conair Infiniti You Curl Clampless Curling Iron. I absolutely love this curling iron. This was a really fun tutorial and it didn't take me very long to do. What I like about the curling iron is there is no kinks or creases and you can achieve so many different looks. I will be posting a video review on the curling iron and will post that later on so you can see all the different aspects of the curling iron! I hope you enjoy the video.

5 Hottest Spring Hairstyles!

2011-03-24T01:29:00.000-04:00

It's officially Spring time which means new trends!!! I've been searching a lot on what the main hair trends would be for this Spring and so many websites list so many different styles that seem to always be in trend. Out of all of trends I'm going to talk to you about 5 hairstyles that I kept seeing on every website. Stay tuned for some new YouTube video's on some of these hottest Spring hair trends!

1. Beachy Waves
Although it seems like this hairstyle is always in trend (which it is) it is one of the hottest looks hitting the runway this Spring. The beach waves is an effortless, minimalist, messy look that looks so good. I love having beach waves, it's really easy to achieve and it looks great! Plus there are so many different ways of doing a wave you can do a different beach wave in your hair everyday! There are so many celebs who support this look I could almost name you all of Hollywood. (Picture: Below: Julia Roberts, Left: Kate Hudson, Right: Gisele Bundchen)

Wavy Hair With A Straightener: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwvvWrFQNWI

2. Va Va VOLUME!!!
Big Hair Is In!!!! Well doesn't it seem like big hair has been in for a few years now, either way it's in again this Spring. Big hair was spotted all over the runway and I can tell you from personal experience a hairstyle doesn't seem quite finished until you tease it a little! "Everything that is old is new" is the slogan I like to use. The clothes and hairstyles that my mom wore back in the day is back now and in style! I think adding a little volume to your hair makes it look great but I'm not talking Amy Winehouse volume. It's one thing for models on the runway and celebs doing the big big BIG hair look but runway shows are always out there. So when I said volume I mean a little tease not like you've been electrocuted! (Picture: Below: Drew Barrymore, Left: Kate Beckinsale, Right: Scarlett Johansson)

YOUTUBE:

How To Create Volume: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ-59iGbJf0

3. Extreme Side Part
I've been noticing that a lot of younger teenagers are wearing their hair with an extreme side part then swooping over the bangs. (FYI: swooping hair/bangs was a trend I found I thought I would add it to this trend) I know that if you have side swept bangs you automatically have a side part but these parts that I've been seeing on the runway are really far parts like almost near your ear. The pro's of doing an extreme side part is that you are gaining a lot of volume by directing the hair over to the other side. I also love the look of a side part and middle ponytail. Keep an eye out for this new hot trend. (Below: Anne Hathaway, Left: Sienna Miller, Right: Models Spring 2011 Carolina Herrera, Gucci and Louis Vuitton)

4. Buns and Ponytails:
Buns and Ponytails have been forever! I know that when I'm having a bad hair day I like to throw my hair back in a messy bun or high ponytail. But the look for spring is sleek ponytail! It doesn't matter where it's positioned it's all about the sleek style. High ponytails, low ponytails and right in the middle of the head ponytails have been showing up on the runway. You can easily achieve two ''in'' looks by teasing at the crown then putting your hair in a low ponytail you get the volume and ponytail in 1 look. Also buns we're everywhere on the runway too! Any style of bun you want it's in! I really like the messy bun on top of the head on a lazy day but low buns are really in this spring. You can make it more elegant with a high ballerina bun or dress is down with a low messy bun. (Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Bosworth, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emma Roberts)

And Ponytails
Jennifer Aniston: One of my all time favourite looks. Sleek parted middle ponytail and her hair is wraped around the elastic to hide it. Looks amazing and falls under 2 hot spring trends (ponytail and side part)

Above: Jessica Simpson with a low ponytail
Below: Reese Witherspoon with a high ponytail I LOVE this barbie doll look!

5. Braids:
Braids have becoming very popular the past few years since the bohemian style has been worn throughout Hollywood. Almost every celebrity has worn a type of braid in their hair. What's so great about braids is that they are very versatile. You can do a different style of braid everyday for a very long time. You can wear your braids down or up, french or dutch, fish tail or rope. It seems that messier braids are more in style than very clean defined braids. I love a braided hairstyle. I don't think this trend will ever leave.

Braided Headband!!

2011-03-22T20:40:00.001-04:00

This is a really easy and simple braided headband! It's a nice alternative than doing a more difficult french or dutch braid. This look again is really easy and didn't take long at all. Braids are in this season and you can easily dress this look up with curls or dress is down with waves for more of a bohemian look. I hope you enjoy it!

Oscar Fashion!

2011-03-14T20:24:00.001-04:00

Now I know this post is very late because the Oscars happen a long time ago but I'm just finally getting around to quickly posting my favourite outfits of the night.

BEST DRESSED:

Reese Witherspoon

This was my favourite look of the night! It reminded me a lot of the dress Julia Roberts wore when she won the Oscar. I love her hair the most! Here Reese is wearing a Giorgio Armani Privé dress with Neil Lane gorgeous emerald earrings! I love the barbie look so much!

Celine Dion

Wowza! She looks amazing especially for just having twins. I love this Giorgio Armani Privé dress! It makes up for the time she wore the backwards tux! Plus her dress when she sang also looked amazing!

Gwyneth Paltrow

I'm usually not a big fan of hers on the red carpet but I really love this Calvin Klein Collection dress in a liquid metallic. Also I like the added Louis Vuitton jewlz and belt she added. Favourite part is the dropped neckline!

Natalie Portman

This is by far my favourite look of hers from all the main red carpets this year. I wasn't a big fan of the dresses from the Globes or the SAG's but I really like this Rodarte dress detailed with Swarovski Crystals and Jimmy Choo shoes! I love it when pregnant people dress sexy!

WORST DRESS:

Marisa Tomei

This is probably my pick for worst look of the night. This Charles James dress is a mess. It makes her look much bigger than she is. She has an amazing figure but you can't tell with this dress. The bust is the wrong fit and way to high. And her hair looks choppy and bad.

Nicole Kidman

Oh Nicole! She looked so good at the Grammy's but she failed to impress in this Dior dress. She looked so amazing last year too. I expect so much more from her especially since I made her best dress of the month of February. Her necklace though is amazing! It's a rare 19th century diamond Riviere from Fred Leighton. It's a beautiful necklace.

Cate Blanchett

This Givenchy Couture dress is either a hit or miss with people. It's a haut couture look that I don't really like. When I first saw it I thought the colours together looked like Easter. I'm not a big fan of the dress I think all the details make it too busy.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer looks amazing since joining Weight Watchers and I love that she is living a happy healthy health but when you lose weight especially in the boob area it can look bad depending what you wear. The colour looks amazing but I do not like the top of the dress because I feel like her boobs are on display and from certain angles her boobs looked flat. It ruined the look for me.

BEST HAIR:

Reese Witherspoon

BEST NECKLACE:

Nicole Kidman

BEST EARRINGS:

ReeseWitherspoon

BEST COUPLE:

Jeff Bridges with his wife, Susan Geston and 3 daughters and son-in-law! So cute!

BEST LOOK FROM NON ACTOR:

Maria Menounos TV host of Access Hollywood

She looks amazing! When I saw her interview someone on the red carpet I fell in love with this one shoulder Johanna Johnson dress. I love how it's sexy and dramatic. It's a toss up between her dress and Reese's dress for my favourite look of the night.

Plus look at her bracelet, Gorgeous! I love how it attaches to her finger, it contrasts well against the black sleeve. My pick for BEST BRACELET!

And there you have it! Those are my picks for the Best and Worst from the 2011 Oscars! A little late but better late than never!

Beauty On A Budget: Hair Products Under $5!!!

2011-03-14T17:46:00.000-04:00

Hi Everyone! I just finished another YouTube video where I talked about hair products that I use and have been using for years now. All of these products are under $5!!!! If some of you are like me and find a lot of hair products especially salon brands to be overly expensive then check out this video. I talk about a wide range of products and give you a few different options. I have two different types of hairsprays, mousses, thermal sprays etc... Beauty products are getting very expensive especially if you consider there is a product for every hair type and style. So in the end you end up paying a lot of money on products.

All these products I've tested and use and really like them! I'm not going to show products that I don't like and haven't worked well on my hair. Again I say all these products are under $5 but the price may vary depending where you live and which store you go to. So the prices may differ +/- a couple of dollars but shouldn't be that much more expensive!

I believe in finding a good bargain in hair and makeup products so if you have any good bargain deals please feel free to email me at karrahsblog@hotmail.com or if you have a YouTube account through their emailing system or even comment below on this post. I'm always curious to know of different products out there.

YouTube: How I get volume to my hair!

2011-03-07T13:09:00.000-05:00

This is another YouTube video that I did on how to achieve big volume hair using a very inexpensive product: Garnier Frusctis Body Boost Root Booster! It's a spray gel that you apply to the roots of your hair when your hair is damp. I show you how I apply the product and how I blow dry my hair! This product works great on my hair, depending on your hair type it may have a different result. In the video, it may not seem like I have that much volume in my hair but again for MY hair I found that there was volume and what I love about this root pump is that it made my hair fuller and thicker! In the video near the end I comb down a lot of the volume and I did not tease my hair, which is how you get the volume to stay in your hair is by teasing. I found that this product works great as a base for teasing, you do not have to tease as much and it really helps hold the tease in your hair. I've had some mixed reviews about this video from some viewers saying that they couldn't see the volume that the product gave but again I just want to explain that for my hair type it worked great and that it is more of a base for teasing, in order to have the volume last all day you have to have a tease or backcomb in your hair! Also it made my hair full and thick and I could tell that it did give it volume compared to my hair being dried without it!

Please go check out my tutorial on how I apply the Garnier Fructis Body Boost Root Booster to my hair, and the technique I use while blow drying my hair to achieve volume without having to use a round brush!

YouTube: Wavy Hair With A Diffuser!

2011-03-07T12:57:00.000-05:00

Keeping with the theme of wavy hair, I completed a video on how to get a messy beach wave using a diffuser. In the video I also explain how to use the diffuser and the different types of diffusers I have and what they work best for. I love my diffuser, it's very easy and fast to use and gives you a different look in half the time because you only need to blow dry your hair with it, no need for other products. I have very straight and almost flat hair, but with the diffuser, it gives it thickness and makes my hair look fuller. If you have wavy or curly hair and are looking for the perfect curls using a diffuser will help eliminate the frizz! I suggest that everyone has a diffuser because you can also use it for other hairstyles such as velcro rollers where you put them in and the use the diffuser to disperse heat over them. In order for your hair to hold that volume and shape it needs to go from heated to completely cooled in that position, so using a diffuser with velcro rollers is a great way to achieve volume without blowing your hair everywhere. A diffuser doesn't blow your hair everywhere, it distributes (diffuses) heat to only the section you apply it to, unlike a blow dryer without a diffuser where your hair is being moved around everywhere. I hope this makes some sense! I think that I might do a tutorial on 'how to apply velcro rollers' and how to apply a diffuser to the rollers.

As for now, please check out my video tutorial on How To Get: Wavy Hair With A Diffuser!

YOUTUBE: wavy hair with a waver

2011-03-06T23:09:00.000-05:00

A while back I posted a YouTube video on how to get wavy hair with a straightener. I recently just finished another video on how to get wavy hair using my Revlon 3 Barrel Waver. This waver is amazing! I suggest you go out and get one! It takes half the time to do than using a straightener and it works really well. If you are looking for more of a soft 'S' wave to your hair that you would get from braiding your hair then pick up a waver because that's the type of waves you will get! The waves you get with a straightener are more of a 'Z' wave.

Please check out my video on how to get wavy hair using a 3 barrel waver!

Best and Worst Look From February

2011-03-05T14:50:00.001-05:00

Now that February is past us, I've picked my best and worst look from the past month. With the Oscars happening at the end of February it would have been really easy to just pick a few looks from there since all of Hollywood came out for the event. But I figured I'll do a separate post on Oscar Fashion! I'll pick my best and worst dress from the night, I'm only a week late! But for the month of February I picked fashion from a different red carpet.

BEST DRESSED!!

Nicole Kidman:

There we're many choices for best dressed of the month especially with so many red carpet events. But the reason I picked Nicole is because I wanted to compare her look to the look of the Worst Dress. Here Kidman is wearing a beautiful L'Wren Scott lace dress that fits her like a glove. Plus the Charlotte Olympia shoes are gorgeous! She's wearing minimal jewelry and I love that her hair is down. Having her hair up would make the look too dressy. This way the hair continues the very feminine silhouette. Also is refreshing to see her look so good after a few bad choices this month! Love it!

WORST DRESSED:

Anne Hathaway:

OH MY! I have no idea what Anne is wearing to the premiere of Ice Age: RIO! But she doesn't look good! Her makeup is beautiful but her clothing choice is, well it leaves me speechless. I would have never ever ever expected Anne to wear this. I don't even know where to begin. I know that mixing and matching is in style but not this mixing and matching! The striped sweater isn't a nice colour at all on it's own. Then the polka dot dress isn't flattering with the side ruffles. Then the shoes are too big and clunky. Total Fail. It's sad because she wore 8 dresses at the Academy Awards and looks amazing!

The reason I choice Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway for Best and Worst is because I wanted to compare the different red carpet looks. Nicole was at the spirit awards which is an award show that is more relaxed and not so black tie like the other major award shows. Anne Hathaway is at the premiere of Ice Age: RIO which is not as dressy as the Spirit Awards but as someone who is a Fashionista and always looks good she failed to impress big time. She should have went with a similar style to Nicole. Anne has pale skin and the red would have looked amazing with her skin tone.

Stay tuned for the best and worst looks of the Oscars!

Beauty Mistakes/Tips!

2011-02-24T10:58:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a while. I've been sidetracked but last night my mom gave me a great article from Oprah.com talking about 26 beauty mistakes that us girls make. I found it really interesting and thought I would share some of the mistakes I didn't know about or think everyone should know! I'll be posting probably only 10 but at the end of the article I posted the link to the article so you can go and read the whole thing and you should it's very interesting!

Question: Going through the mistakes/tips, how many of these common mistakes we're you making? Think about it!! Don't forget to go to the full article to see more common mistakes.

1. Over conditioning your hair:
I read about this a while back so I've been applying my conditioner the right way for some time now but before I use to coat my hair. If you are prone to oily hair then avoid putting too much conditioner on because it will cause your hair to get even more oily. When applying condition only apply it to the midsection of your hair down to your roots. That's where your hair has the most damage and is older. There is no need to apply it to your roots because it is protected and coated already in your scalp and hairs natural oil. Putting conditioner on your roots will weigh your hair down and make it more oily and greasy. Also you only need around half a dollar size amount. A little bit goes a long way!

2. Don't brush your hair when it's wet:
I had no idea about this one! I always brush my hair when it's wet but experts say that you should never BRUSH your hair. That doesn't mean you get out of the shower and dry your hair without every combing it. The trick is to get a wide tooth comb (one like I showed you in my fav. hair products) and comb your hair when it's wet with a wide tooth comb. A brush has very narrow bristles that can actually damage and break wet hair unlike the wide tooth's on a comb. When your hair is closer to damp/dry then it is safer to comb your hair with a brush. Personally, I love brushing my hair only because I have long hair and find that a comb doesn't de-tangle my hair like a brush but I will try this method next time I wash my hair only because I do have long hair and I want to keep it looking healthy.

3. The right way to apply perfume:
How do you apply your perfume? I always spray on my neck maybe chest over the clothes as a final out the door spritz and I do TWO big no no's. The first is I spray it on my wrist then rub it together with my other wrist something that most women do I'm sure, well it's not the right way! The friction of rubbing your wrists together with the perfume and your natural oils on your skin will cause the product to alter and then distort the smell of your perfume! Now that I come to think about it, whenever I rub my wrists together I find that the smell diminishes quite a bit and I end up spraying more perfume. So how to properly spray. Spray on each wrist and do not rub them together or wave them in the air, just spray and walk away. Other key area's on our body are the neck, chest and inside of the elbow the body's heat help diffuse the scent.

4. Another perfume No No:
Like I said in #3 there are TWO big no no's. The first was rubbing your wrists together the second is applying perfume to your hair. I usually finish my hair with hairspray then that's all I can smell. Even if I apply perfume I find my hair smells like hairspray, even if your hairspray isn't strong it can still smell like it. So I always like to give a little spritz on top of my hair and let the perfume fall naturally on my hair. Well that's not how you apply it!! Since perfume contains alcohol it can dry up your hair and damage it. How to apply? Spray a few times in your hands then clap a few times to evaporate the alcohol then rub through your hair. If you have a roll on perfume, then roll a few times on the tip of your fingers, wave your fingers in the air then rub over hair. I like having my hair smell like my perfume and I use to spray directly on but now I will do it this way!

5. Pumping your mascara:
I read about this a while back, but still out of old habits I still do it sometimes. Pumping your mascara wand to try and get more product out! I usually end up doing this when my mascara is almost done but what I learned is that instead every tube there is a built-in wipe that takes off the same amount of mascara every time. But why pumping is so bad is that every time you pump it forces air into the tube which then mixes with the formula and can spread unevenly on your lashes making them look clumpy. Also the friction of the pumping softens the formula and that can lead to smudging because it takes longer to set! So never pump your mascara! If you need to pump to get more out because it's almost done then it's time to buy a new one.

My little tip: My mom told me a long time ago when I first started using makeup to buy your mascara with the seasons. Every season buy a new mascara! You should be replacing your mascara every 3-4months even if the tube isn't empty. Applying mascara daily begins to build-up bacteria and since you cannot really wash the wand every few weeks like you should be with your makeup brushes it is important to get a new mascara every 3-4months. Also just replacing the wand doesn't get rid of the bacteria because the formula has been mixed with the previous wand and will contain bacteria! This is the same with your lipstick, blush, eyeshadows and so on except those do not need to be replaced as often!

6. Lipstick Liner vs Lipstick, which comes first:
I personally never wear lipstick liner probably because of my age and if I we're to wear anything on my lips it would be a gloss again the age but I found this to be very interesting because I always thought the lipstick liner came first before the lipstick but it's FALSE! First apply the lipstick before the liner! Applying the liner after the lipstick will help glide the liner than doing it on bare mouth giving the outline a softer more natural look all while still keeping a boarder from bleeding. However please please please pick a liner that is the same colour as your lipstick. There is nothing worst than wearing a liner a few shades darker, it looks real bad and cheap!

7. Best time to shave your legs:
The best time to shave your legs is 5-10minutes after being in the water or shower. If you like to shower then right after your shower would be the best time. The heat from the water will soften your skin and make it easy for the razor to glide over your skin. The article states 5-10minutes but I find an extra 5 minutes not harmful because if your like me and take around 15minute showers you can shave after the shower. However you can go in the shower for 5 minutes and then shave your legs before you start to wash your hair. It's your preference! The article does state though that after being in the water for around 15-20minutes your skin can start to wrinkle and swell from the heat and it makes it harder for the razor to glide along the base of your hair. It depends on your skin type, being in the bath will make your skin wrinkle faster than being in the shower for 15minutes. Just shave your legs sooner than later in the water. You should however always shave after having the water/steam and heat on your skin, it makes your skin smoother and less harsh especially if you are prone to razor burns.

8. Best time to apply hair products:
Never apply hair products to soaking wet hair. The water from your hair will actually dilute the product and you won't be getting the full effect from it. Also when your hair is wet the pores in your hair are smaller and again your hair won't absorb the products. The bet time to apply products is when your hair is damp to dry. I always apply a leave in conditioner (check my fav. hair products for the type) and I put the product in damp hair. If your ends dry faster like mine because they are thinner and more frail then you can apply the product to the tips first then wait for the midsection to dry a little more before applying the rest of the product. So if your product calls to apply in wet hair, apply it to damp hair. Most products say to apply to damp hair anyways! I always let my hair become damp by just air drying then I apply the leave in conditioner and any other products for a certain style then blow dry I never blow dry without my leave in conditioner!

9. Shaving cream/gel vs soap:
When you shave do you use shaving cream/gel or just soap? I use a shaving gel, personally I didn't really know there was a difference between shaving cream and gel. Gel is more thick and is best to use if you have dry or sensitive skin which I do. I have some tropical Skintimate gel and it smells amazing!!! I remember once though that I ran out of shaving gel and I used soap to shave my legs. I cut myself, got razor burn and didn't get a close enough shave. The reason is because the shaving cream/gel leaves a cushion that is rich in texture and thicker than the foam of a soap. The cushion is essential to avoiding nicks and cuts. Also I find that the foam from soap evaporates faster and slides off your skin.

10. Best way to file your nails:
Personally, I don't file my nails but I thought this was interesting because I know people who file their nails and I'm wondering if they do it the right way. I never liked the sound or feeling of filing my nails. If your nails are weak, crack and don't grow it's probably your manicure style. If you do not file your nails the proper way you can cause damage and break your nails which then don't grow! The best way to file your nails is using either a crystal file or an emery board with a high grit, that mean's that it will be smooth. Never ever ever used a metal file it will cause damage! When filing always file in one direction, in the same shape as your cuticle because it will less likely cause damage to your nail. Never file your nails in a back and fourth motion it's too rough on the nails.

I loved this article from Oprah.com. The best part was that each beauty mistake was small and easy to read and was sectioned off by pictures. It's very interesting to learn more about these common mistakes that I know I was making!

Grammy Fashion

2011-02-16T00:08:00.007-05:00

A couple of days ago were the Grammys which means fashion, fashion, fashion! The Fashion is really different than those of the other award shows I did the best and worst looks on because the Grammy's are supposed to be fun and flirty. The fashion is different that's what we saw on Sunday. Lady Gaga showing up in an egg to Nicki Minaj wearing a leopard print outfit and bride of frankenstein hair. I expect those looks from them because they are different but there we're a few girls who I expected more from! Take a look below at my best and worst dressed.

BEST DRESSED

Jennifer Hudson: Versace dress, Louboutin heels, Neil Lane jewelry. She looks amazing in this dress. She lost over 80lbs with Weight Watchers. The colour looks great and the little glitter adds a little shine. I like the super straight hair. It's very chic.

Jewel: One shoulder Pamela Roland dress in a soft yellow. Jewel is around 5 months pregnant and she looked stunning on Sunday. It's hard to see the baby bump from the angle especially with the drapery over the belly. But this is a very soft flowy gown and fits her great.

Jennifer Lopez: Emillio Pucci dress, Louboutin heels and Cartier Jewls. JLo looked great on Sunday which lately she's been spot on whenever I see her on TV. She is always dressed to impress on American Idol and shes becoming a major fashionista. I love her sparkle that she brings to the carpet. Not many celebs we're wearing glittz and sparkle but JLo didn't disappoint. I just wish she would have added a bright solid colour like a hot pink to break up the sparkle. The dress, shoes and clutch are all the same if she had a hot pink clutch it would have separated all the sparkle because it can be hard on the eye but if your like me and love sparkles then this look delivers.

Kelly Osbourne: Tadashi Shoji dress and Alexander McQueen heels. Kelly O looked amazing at the Grammys. Lately she's been wearing daring and different looks but I really liked her look on Sunday. The one shoulder ruffled dress with a tight waistline fits her perfectly. She was the only one wearing the soft purple look which complimented her straight blonde hair. I really like the straight hair look on her which is different then the glamour curls she's been sporting lately. Plus how gorgeous are the McQueen heels.

Keri Hilson: Basil Soda dress. I think Keri looks great here. I love the colour with the subtle silver accents running through the dress which is paired with a silver gorgeous heels. The dress is short, flirty and fun. I really like the structure to the dress too its different without being over the top.

Nicole Kidman: Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Fred Leighton Vintage Jewls. Nicole lately has been looking pretty bad on the red carpet. She was on my worst dressed list for the Globes and SAG's but at the Grammys she made it to the best dressed list. She looks great in this tight Jean Paul Gaultier dress. JPG is a different daring designer and the floral print, slight ruffle and mermaid style dress is very flattering. Again this dress is perfect for the Grammys. Plus I lover her curly long hair, its soft and playful different from the ice queen look she sometimes comes off as.

WORST DRESSED:

Amber Riley: Ema Savahl dress. The dress really isn't that bad but I find the metallic print and texture is too heavy for the short dress. What makes me not like this look is the gold shoulder piece. It's a different colour then the dress and is too much for the already busy print of the dress. It's too busy. I was expecting more from her since she looked great at the SAG awards. But she is becoming more of a fashionista!

Eva Longoria: Ashi dress, Brian Atwood heels. Oh Eva! Lately she has been missing the mark at the recent award shows. She's another star who has been on my worst dressed list for the Globes and the SAGs. This look is wrong. The ruffle top is too heavy for her petite frame and again another type of ruffle for the skirt. The top would have looked better paired with a high waisted tight skirt. But she's very petite and the ruffles and heavy design is too much. You can't see her shape in this dress. The dress is wearing her, she's not wearing the dress.

Kim Kardashian: Kaufman Franco dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewls and Louboutin heels. Kim K is known to be a sex figure and I find her absolutely beautiful. She looks great in a heavy smokey eye or a soft nude look. However this sexy dress isn't cutting it for me. I love it when Kim wears something sexy but this bronze gold colour doesn't flatter her skin tone. What makes me upset is that she's everywhere on every red carpet or premiere and she always looks great except for bigger major red carpets. At the SAG's the look didn't work and again at the Grammys. I do love the nude Louboutin heels though!

Lea Michele: Emilio Pucci dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewls and Louboutin heels. This look is too dark and heavy for Lea. The dresses ruffles and slit look weird. I don't like the way the slit is cut starting at the side coming into the middle. The ruffles in the slit give the position of the dress a weird look. Also the bigger shoulders which are very in right now doesn't have the full effect because her hair is down covering it, it would have looked better with a sleek tied up hairstyle. When you have a dramatic shoulder you want to show it off and here she is hiding the structure of the dress. The red lips also are too dark and I was sick and tired of seeing her pouty sexy face all night. She was trying too hard.

Ricky Martin: Armani jacket and dress shirt. WOW! Are those silver leggings?! A couple of post down I talked about leggings being in this winter and showed a picture of Conan O'Brien wearing a pair of Jeggings for his show but I would have never expected to see someone voluntarily wear a pair to an award show. Ricky Martin has been everywhere lately and looking great but at the Grammys the pants are bad. From the waist up he looks hot but the waist down the silver leggings are bad especially tucked into the military boot.

ON THE FENCE:

Rihanna: Jean Paul Gaultier dress and Louboutin heels. I'm on the fence about this dress. I love that it's daring which is what you expect to see on the red carpet at the Grammys. This dress defines Jean Paul Gaultier. As you can see this dress is more daring than the design that Nicole Kidman is wearing. I actually like the dress what's throwing me off is I think the hair. The hair looks too proper for the dress. I really like this fire red colour but I loved her hair big and curly and think this dress would have looked that much better with that hairstyle.

CUTEST LOOK:
Katy Perry showed up with her 90 year grandmother! Her Grammy as she called her, looks AMAZING for 90! But seriously how adorable is her blinged out cane. She's 90 years old with a pimp cane! So sexy! I want that cane real bad!! Oh and Katy Perry is looking sexy

I found the Grammys to be alright, I was a little disappointed with some of the wins. I'm not a Beiber fan but he's sold so many albums and is actually talented and didn't win best new artist. I think the people in charge should consider everything when picking the winner, not just talent but success also. Also I wanted Katy Perry to win best Album because she's broken so many records and has hits like California Gurls, Teenage Dreams and Fireworks from the Album all instant hits and still are. Even if you are not a fan of her you have to admit her songs are very catchy! I found the performances to be alright, nothing really stood out to me. I was expecting Lady Gaga to be amazing but I found the performance to be full of dancing and nothing out there like Elton John playing piano or a bloody Gaga flying. It was just mediocre. She danced the whole time, not explosions or surprises. It was just alright.

Big Volume

2011-02-14T22:39:00.000-05:00

I talked about the Garnier Fructis Body Boost: Root Booster in my favourite hair products blog. I recently did a YouTube video on how I achieve maximum volume. This is a great product, it doesn't weigh your hair down and it's very manageable. It's a great product to act as a base to hold your tease in all day and to give thickness to your hair.
