AMA Miss: Alicia Keys...



I'm just not a fan of matching your makeup to your clothes.  Blue shadow, pink lips to match the hues in her dress?  Me no likey.  I think she should've lost the eyeshadow, kept the lip color and had her hair in a nice sleek bun would've complemented the dress better.

AMA Beauty: Fergie...



Dontcha just love Fergie's darker hair?  Nothing much to her makeup, peachy cheecks and lips and a very subtle smokey eye.

AMAs Beauty: Rihanna...


Last night Rihanna hit up the AMAs with some FIERCE eyemakeup.  The focus was all on her eyes while the rest of her face was simple.   She rocked what looks like a reddish shadow smudged on the top and lower lash lines, black winged eyeliner and web-like lashes.  Her lips were a nude color while her cheeks appeared to be lightly buffed with a rosey blush.  I'm assuming her regular makeup artist Mylah Morales created this fabulousness...LUVs it! 


Would you rock colored eyeliner/shadow?

Get The Skinny...



Sample sales are all the rage these days.  Sites like Gilt Groupe, RueLaLa and Ideeli offer great sales on your favorite fashions and accessories.  With the way this economy is going, who wouldn't appreciate a good deal?  Wouldn't it be great if there were a similar site for all things beauty?....


Power by Fifty Cent...





Today, 50 cent's new fragrance launches exclusively at Macy's stores nationwide. 

What it is:  Strong, masculine and powerful, the scent is composed of a tonic freshness built with green citrus fruity notes juxtaposed against a musky, woody background. Top notes consisting of lemon leaves, black pepper and Artemisia are followed by a heart of dark woods, coriander and nutmeg with a drydown of patchouli, musk and oak moss. Developed by fragrance house Firmenich, the scent evokes both the grittiness of 50 Cent’s origins and the heady rush that accompanied his rise to power.

The Hands Reveal All...


So a few weeks ago I was watching some old eps of The Real Housewives of Orange County ( nothing like the ORIGINAL!). Anyway, fast forward to when Lauri was planning her wedding. I'm looking at all these things she's does to, well, stay young.  There's botox, boob job, thin frame, big hair, all these things and then there it is. A shot of her hands and I'm like oh myyyyyyy! They just did not "match" the rest of her. They looked aged...


Korres Wild Rose Moisturizer


I've been eyeing the Korres line for a while simply because I'm trying to incorporate more "natural" things into my lifestyle , including beauty. The line was started by pharmacist George Korres and his wife Lena Korres, a chemical engineer. They set out to create products that deliver beneficial results without the use of synthetic ingredients. Instead, essential oils, herbs and plant extracts are used for their luxurious feeling products.

Tyra: Beauty Inside & Out...


Last week Tyra launched her new online magazine about beauty, inside and out:

"...We cover beauty, fashion, self-esteem, relationships, just like the talk show does but in a more personal way because the user can go back and forth with me. I’m also going to be discovering stars. I’m going to discover models there, I’m going to be discovering people who work behind the scenes, doing a lot of mentoring and it’s fun. "
