If you've been keeping your eye on the latest runway trends, you may have noticed that the nude lip is back and better than ever. Not to be confused with the scary matte lip from Herve Leger's Fall 2008 rtw show (you know, the lips that are so-nude-they-blend-in-with-your-face). &lt;em&gt;Talk about color wash out!&lt;/em&gt; Spring 2008 welcomes the nude lip with a hint of high-shine gloss. To create balance and maintain a complete, not overly made up face, don a nude lip when adding drama to your eye makeup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. My all time favorite nude lipgloss is the CoverGirl Queen Collection lipgloss in "Antique Gold" (#6 above). I absolutely swear by it, that and M.A.C. Cremestick lipliner in "Cushy", it matches my lip color exactly. ;)</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/2008/04/natural-enhancement.html' title='Natural Enhancement!'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=542036698741402522&amp;postID=6892508943611887026&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/6892508943611887026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/6892508943611887026'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542036698741402522/posts/default/6892508943611887026'/><author><name>Talysha</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542036698741402522.post-3873577848048069785</id><published>2008-04-11T17:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-21T18:13:31.578-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events'/><title type='text'>All you need is a 'Fresh Take!'</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/SAAOViFA2bI/AAAAAAAABVI/kAKpFaTdnBM/s1600-h/FreshTakes_2X1,5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/SAAOViFA2bI/AAAAAAAABVI/kAKpFaTdnBM/s400/FreshTakes_2X1,5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188162533818685874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dove go fresh in association with MTV presents Fresh Takes, a new micro-series, starring Alicia Keys which follows the lives of three roommates in their mid-twenties living in New York City.

For example, &lt;strong&gt;if you're a slender woman&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;choose a skirt with a wide waistband to show off your skinny middle&lt;/strong&gt;. And &lt;strong&gt;if you're a woman with curvy hips, ample thighs, or a bit of a belly, choose a full skirt that sits below the navel.&lt;/strong&gt; And don't worry about highlighting your "trouble areas" because the new full skirt actually camouflages them! Today's full skirts aren't quite as full as the circle skirts of years past. What's more, when worn just to the knee, they have a slimming effect. For a trendy twist on this look, remember to strike a balance; with volume on bottom, go slim on top. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://shopping.msn.com/content/shp/?ctId=4464"&gt;MSN&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/2008/04/skirtin-issue.html' title='Skirtin&apos; the issue!'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=542036698741402522&amp;postID=4712628769291997073&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/4712628769291997073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/4712628769291997073'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542036698741402522/posts/default/4712628769291997073'/><author><name>Talysha</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542036698741402522.post-7497593417052139006</id><published>2008-04-08T19:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-08T22:51:40.866-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hot Trends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><title type='text'>Mad for Plaid!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_w9--3G0dI/AAAAAAAABUo/HngGKoxkvlM/s1600-h/Blu+Cantrell.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_w9--3G0dI/AAAAAAAABUo/HngGKoxkvlM/s400/Blu+Cantrell.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187089023059284434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; Above: Candid of Blu Cantrell spotted out on the streets of L.A. last night&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xYBe3G0gI/AAAAAAAABVA/zvcp323DyKg/s1600-h/Ashanti.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xYBe3G0gI/AAAAAAAABVA/zvcp323DyKg/s400/Ashanti.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187117653311279618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Above: Candid of Ashanti leaving the TRL studios on February 27, 2008 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xWVu3G0eI/AAAAAAAABUw/9KRQJHgDs2E/s1600-h/Rihanna10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xWVu3G0eI/AAAAAAAABUw/9KRQJHgDs2E/s400/Rihanna10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187115802180375010" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Above: Candid of Rihanna leaving Nice Airport in Monaco, France on November 4, 2007&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While updating your spring wardrobe, be sure to throw in a dash of plaid. Why? Because plaid isn't just for the preppy at heart �?? this traditional pattern is a major trend this season and has made its way on to clothing, handbags, and accessories! Depending on how bold a statement you want to make, you can either dress this look up by accenting it with leather accessories a la Blu Cantrell or you can dress it down by pairing it with capris and flip-flops. Either way, avoid plaid overload by limiting your plaid pieces to one per outfit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xW4e3G0fI/AAAAAAAABU4/vgQmOSKulMw/s1600-h/Plaids.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_xW4e3G0fI/AAAAAAAABU4/vgQmOSKulMw/s400/Plaids.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187116399180829170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Above:&lt;/strong&gt; Select plaid items ranging from $6 to $30.

Gwen Stefani has coined the term and turned this childhood fantasy into a reality with the introduction of her latest fragrance launch, Harajuku Lovers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stefani's Harajuku Lovers collection fragrance will debut in September 2008. For the project, Stefani created dolls based on herself and her four backup singers, Love, Angel, Music and Baby �?? and turned them into scent bottles. She says of her latest fragrance venture: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I didn't think this project would actually come to life." "The idea that Coty would let me do five different fragrances for Harajuku Lovers was a fantasy. [But] it really had to be five, because that's what the world is. Each girl has her own personality and sense of style. We're all saying something different with unique personalities." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scents are all inspired by Stefani's views of her backup singers. Love is described as "sweet, caring, free-spirited and always off in her own little world." Lil' Angel is "constantly looking out for others," but is no saint. Music is "always looking to make someone laugh" and is "charismatic." Baby is "enticing in her frilly innocence." (And, naturally, G is the leader of the pack.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scents will each be available in two sizes: $45 for 30 ml. and $25 for 10 ml. A coffret, which includes solid perfume versions of all five, will be on counter later this fall as a permanent addition to the collection and will retail for $60. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm uber excited to see what Gwen has up for sleeve for this fragrance launch. I absolutely loved her L.A.M.B. fragrance and I hope that this one will be just as great. Do you think Harajuku Lovers will be a "hit" or a "miss"? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.wwd.com/fashion/article/123975?page=0"&gt;WWD&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/2008/04/oh-you-beautiful-doll.html' title='Oh, you beautiful doll!'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=542036698741402522&amp;postID=5806713002319113869&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/5806713002319113869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stylespotlight.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/5806713002319113869'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/542036698741402522/posts/default/5806713002319113869'/><author><name>Talysha</name></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542036698741402522.post-3875234997107811109</id><published>2008-04-01T11:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-01T12:00:23.903-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Look of the Day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hit or Miss'/><title type='text'>Look of the Day: Rihanna</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_KF5O3G0ZI/AAAAAAAABUI/T79AtuelOsI/s1600-h/Rihanna12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R_KF5O3G0ZI/AAAAAAAABUI/T79AtuelOsI/s400/Rihanna12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184353339345129874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Above: Rihanna poses on the orange carpet during the 2008 Kid's Choice Awards.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you think of the look?

I hope to purchase all of these items soon, but there's only so much I can spend on a broke college student budget, LOL. But, I have to tell you, &lt;em&gt;Zoom Lash mascara &lt;/em&gt;is wonderful. It lifts and extends my lashes perfectly; making them truly bat-worthy. And, if you're looking for a new scent for spring, look no further than &lt;em&gt;Isle of Pink&lt;/em&gt;. This flirty blend of raspberry sorbet, iced tulip and vanilla bean is the perfect addition to your fragrance collection. Think: sandy beaches and cute island boys, baby this stuff is like "spring break" in a bottle! *And my bf loves it on me too* Can't get better than that! =) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See any products you like?

Sad, but true. It just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to really give our hair the attention it needs. I, too, am guilty of not properly taking care of my much deserving locks. Especially now that I've decided to do away with chemicals and grow my hair out, I really have to be sure that I'm doing all I can to keep my hair healthy. Like me, decide this year that you're going to treat your hair right. So, put down those heating tools and harsh hair products that dry your hair our and try the hottest new product on the market right now, The &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane Clip&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane Clip &lt;/a&gt;is a revolutionary new hair accessory that acts as a bridge between your hair and hair extensions. &lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R9AfeutLNpI/AAAAAAAABRc/OnygJqrEZWU/s1600-h/Mane+Clip1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Dg4NdWVXVXU/R9AfeutLNpI/AAAAAAAABRc/OnygJqrEZWU/s320/Mane+Clip1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174670584642746002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You just pull your hair back into a bun, place a hair extension of your choice into the &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane Clip&lt;/a&gt; and snap them together. And that's it! No extra work... just immediate results that take your style from drab to fab in no time. Use the &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane Clip &lt;/a&gt;when you need a break from glued in, fused in, or sewn in extensions or braids. Or use it when you're just looking to change up your hairstyle. The &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane Clip &lt;/a&gt;is a wise investment and it is definitely my go-to accessory for bad hair days. Trust me, we ALL have them. =) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;Mane clip &lt;/a&gt;is currently available online at &lt;a href="http://www.themaneclip.com"&gt;www.themaneclip.com&lt;/a&gt; but will soon be available in stores.

It was my first time ever going to a M.A.C. event or even getting my makeup done professionally (for that matter! LOL). I must say, I really enjoyed myself and I plan on attending as many events as I can in the future. M.A.C. has most definitely turned me into a die-hard fan now, so I'll surely be practicing my event look on the regular. And for as much as I spent on all that makeup, I better put it to good use too.
