noreply@blogger.com (CPD) — Thu, 24 May 2012 04:00:00 +0000

If you’re looking for a great nude shade Essie’s polish in brooch the subject is a haute one. I’ve rocked it for two weeks and I love it. The polish lasts a long time just make sure you also have their top coat or base coat for amazing results.

The color goes well with every shade you wear so you don’t have to worry about changing your outfit to fit with the color. This shades is also a great transitional look, wear at the office and for a night out. Like what you see, you can find this shade at Target or your local drugstores for around $8.

Events: The Makeup Show Inside Benefit Cosmetics

noreply@blogger.com (CPD) — Sat, 19 May 2012 11:18:00 +0000

Benefit Cosmetics was the place to be at The Makeup Show in NYC, the reason behind the chatter was their Brow Expert Hilary Foote, was working her magic on perfecting the brow. The last time I had a brow wax was January and they did a terrible job, with the results of a thin brow look. I had decided to let them grow as much as possible even if it meant bushy brows ; ). But for some strange reason that thought began to exit my mind and I was ready to get them looking beautiful again. With a bit of excitement and nervous energy I stepped into the chair and let the brow expert do her magic. Check out brow expert Hilary Foote giving me a full brow makeover, she also shares some very informative tips on waxing, how to use tweezers and landing the right brow technician. Check out the video below.

Inside The Brow Bar

The right brow is the work of Hilary Foote, it’s looks amazing! A full sexy brow and the shape is what I have been working on getting for awhile.

Here are the two products she used

noreply@blogger.com (CPD) — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

As I worked my way through the first level of The Makeup Show in NYC, I heard great music, seen a large crowd and men that were shirtless with the words tattooed all over with the words “Stila”.

Striped cotton dress
$34.99

Why We Love It: It’s casual but the belt gives it that extra, it’s easy to rock with your basic nude wedges and it’s stylish for all women.

Two-tone pleated dress
$59.99

Why We Love It: The two-tone style is so gorgeous, the look is perfect for a special event and the dress calls for major compliments.

Merrily Rolling Along High Low Ivory and Coral Dress $62

Why We Love It: It’s simple but yet so glam, the ruffles, the white and coral make it pop, great trendsetter style for a day into night.

Color Bar Quartet Neon Yellow Color Block Dress $37.50

Face Of The Day

noreply@blogger.com (CPD) — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:20:00 +0000

This Face Of The Day look was so fun because I got to try a few new products that I am loving. Hope you enjoy them as well.

Concealer: Bye Bye Under Eye It Cosmetics in Tan $24 I really don’t do concealer but for the last two weeks I am loving it and others are noticing. I didn’t think I really needed it but it does give a brighter look. Foundation: BareMinerals SPF15 Medium Tan $27. Eye Shadow: Flirt Cosmetics in Chocoholic $13.50 I had this for so many years I totally forgot how much I loved wearing it. Flirt Cosmetics was one of my first beauty brands, they have great products but can be a bit pricey. (Tip I also used the concealer as a shadow just underneath the brow bone).

Since I didn’t have my brows done for this beauty look, I used again Eyebrows: Josie Maran Argan Magic Brows Brow Marker + Brow Powder Duo $24 Mascara: Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill in Steel Black $30 I love this mascara but I applied it the way celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn did and it stayed on my eyes for a good three days, totally not a good look. I will never apply it that heavy again it looks amazing before hand but the aftermath was a bit much. Blush: MAC in Dame $20 Eyeliner: e.l.f Liquid Liner in Black $1 so easy for $1. Lipstick: Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipstick in Sunset Pink $29 I am so addicted to this lipstick, yes it’s a heavy splurge but I must say it feels really amazing on the lips you can actually feel that your lips are nourished. I totally recommend this shade and lipstick, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Hope you enjoy my Face Of The Day I loved it : )

With over 60 brands showing at The Makeup Show in NYC it can be very overwhelming and a bit distracting with beauty products from the front to the back. But one that I did notice was Armour Beauty because their lip glosses where so gorgeous in color that I had to see what the brand was all about. Theo Kogan the woman behind the brand gave me the scoop on her rock star brand, the dish on their two new popular shades and what she wants women to feel when they use Armour Beauty. Check out the video.

My Favorite

Grace - Shimmer Gloss $21

The other great thing about the brand that is very essential is every lip gloss is naturally based, including: shea butter, olive, avocado and mango oils and butters, grapeseed oil and vitamin e. So you look good and also keep those lips moisturized for every season!

(Named after Grace Jones ; )
