Look of the Day

Look of The Day: Doll-like

I just want to thank you all for your terrific Look Book posts!

I just want to thank you all for your terrific Look Book posts! I just noticed there are a bunch of new great ones and it's so much fun seeing all your different styles. Keep up the good work!

Back to business, in my poll earlier today, I asked you all which winter trend you were soooo over? Mod ranked pretty low, and leggings pretty high (FYI), so I thought you'd all enjoy this mod doll-like look. Brought to you by likenicole11, I think she looks absolutely adorable and I love her hair. How do you care for those blonde waves likenicole11? Do tell!

She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

Here's what she is wearing:

  • White tunic top: Free People
  • Skinny jeans: Delias

And where is your cute necklace from doll face?

Congrats to likenicole11!

Cetaphil

Beauty Mark It! A Daytime Moisturizer With SPF

I need a new day time moisturizer with SPF.

I need a new day time moisturizer with SPF. It has been ingrained in our heads that we must use sunscreen on a regular basis and I try to abide by this. While I like the moisturizer I've been using, this Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, SPF 15, Fragrance Free, $9.99, surprise! It expires this month. It actually has an expiration date on it and it perfectly lasts me about a year and a half. I would recommend this Cetaphil moisturizer but I'm wondering what your tried and true daytime moisturizers with SPF are.

Let's all go beauty marking to help me find a new daytime moisturizer with SPF. I would prefer it to be lightweight, but moisturizing, and an SPF of 30 max. Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up and tag your choices with daytime moisturizer SPF. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Cosmetic Designer Spotlight: Carol's Daughter

Carol's Daughter is one of the fastest growing indie beauty brands.

Carol's Daughter is one of the fastest growing indie beauty brands. Founded by Lisa Price, in 1993, in a kitchen in Brooklyn, the celebrity-packed cosmetics company is opening its first mall store in Garden City, N.Y, on Long Island. Backed by star investors such as Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Jay-Z, keep your eyes and noses open for these homemade concoctions using wholesome ingredients ranging from luscious mangoes to refreshing peppermint. Current offerings include hair, bath & body, hands & feet, fragrance, mommy-to-be, men, babies & kids and gift sets.

The company's flagship store is in Harlem and they also have an online store. More big news: Carol's Daughter is coming out with their first color cosmetics collection in April. The lip gloss line, which I'm most interested in, will be called Candy Paint and include 12 shades, each $14.95.

I've got my eye on this Ocean Shea Souffle, $25 for 16 oz., to appease my dry, winter skin. Oh, and this is Mary J. Blige's pick that helps her achieve her glow - sold!
