Spring Peek: White Lightening

The Spring runways were especially heavenly because of this Spring Peek.

The Spring runways were especially heavenly because of this Spring Peek. White lightening struck many designers this time around and this color manages to look great against tan skin in the summer and pale, flushed skin in the winter. I welcome this look by Thakoon with open (pale) arms. These flowy or crisp white looks, primarily in dresses and separates, can also serve as modern wedding dresses. Soon-to-be brides open your eyes, here are some beautiful white ensembles.

10 by Benefit, $26, is a bronzer and pale pink shimmery blush duo that can be perfectly applied to your cheeks in one simple swoop! It comes with a wide brush that collects color from both the pink and the bronze sides of the compact to make application a cinch.

The bronzer goes on your lower cheekbones to add contour and depth, while the pink highlighter powder goes on your upper cheekbones to brighten up your face.

You can also add some color to your décolleté and shoulder areas. This combo looks great on any complexion. Voilá, you're a perfect 10!

Beauty Mark It! Kick Ass Tweezers

A pair of kick ass tweezers is a beauty must have.

A pair of kick ass tweezers is a beauty must have. Don't skimp on this tool ladies! Think about it: you're dealing with the most delicate skin area and a very key facial feature. Properly defined brows can make or break your face. Take supermodel Linda Evangelista; for example. She has a gorgeous face, but check out those perfectly arched brows! Let's all go beauty marking to help me find a kick ass pair of tweezers. Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up and tag your choices with kick ass tweezers.

It's official: Halle Berry just always looks fab! Last night at the People's Choice Awards she looked stunning in her Gucci bronze metallic dress. And did you know she apparently did her own makeup? Check out her cute little woven bronze clutch. This little accessory stood out as well! The designer's name is Celestina and this Moonlight Loop clutch can be purchased for $530 at Kirna Zabete and Barneys in New York. Oh yeah, and congrats on the win Halle!


Love It or Hate It

Revlon Midnight Swirl Lip Gloss: Love It or Hate It?

Yes, it is true.

Yes, it is true. I have featured a lip gloss as a Love It or Hate It. What a travesty! I have been seeing this Revlon Limited Edition Collection Midnight Swirl Lip Lustre in magazines and it kinda grosses me out. While the brown swirl you see is supposed to create a low-lit effect on lips, I think it looks dirty and unappetizing.

Isn't a lip gloss supposed to be beautiful and yummy looking? Like this bedazzled gloss or this lacy lip gloss? How do you all feel about the whole dark swirly thing going on in this gloss? This Revlon Limited Edition Midnight Swirl Lip Lustre can be purchased as a pack of two for $18.36. Love it or hate it?!
