Solange's Half-Moon Mani...

                               
                               
Check out Solange's manicure she rocked at a recent Photoshoot.  I love it!

In a recent interview, Solange was asked about the wildest nail art she's tried:


I went through a phase about two years ago where I had an extreme nail art addiction. I had British flag nails, ice cream cones, gold spikes…the whole nine yards. I still rock my nail art but with a little bit more simplicity now.

Get The Look: Catherine Zeta Jones...



Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Phillips shares with us how he created Catherine's smokey pastel look for the 2010 Tony Awards. 


For a smoky eye effect, Mary applied Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Black Currant and Color Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Peacock from lid to brow to give the eye that extra pop.




To create a pink glow, Mary applied Ceramide Cream Blush in Pink on the apples of Catherine’s cheeks. She then applied Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick in Perfect Blossom for soft, natural lips. To finish the look Mary coated the lashes with Double Density Maximum Volume Mascara in Black for a dramatic touch.

Fergie Is Outspoken...



Set to launch this September, Fergie collabos with Avon for her new fragrance Outspoken. Check out a few shots for the campaign...


Luxe For Less: Minx Nails...


Not only did Katy Perry (her nails on the left) kiss a girl and liked it, she tried Minx nails and liked that too. From Katie to Beyonce to Victoria Beckam and so on, Minx nails are all the rage in Hollywood. Heat activated stickers come in several patterns for a fabulous mani/pedi that last anywhere from four - ten days.



Minx nails are professionally done and can run you a lot more than a regular mani/pedi. But don't fret. The people over at Minx have teamed up with Sephora and OPI to bring you Chic Prints. All you have to do is warm up the sheets with your hands, peel, apply to nails and file off excess. The Chic Prints comes in 8 patterns, including anchor, stars, checkers, tiger, fishnet, chrome lace, black & gold geometric and skulls.  The only downside is that they only last about two days. So they're great for a crazy weekend out clubbing or that pop you need for that simple and plain outfit.



Available at Sephora for $15.

Get The Look: Kim Kardashian at CEW Awards...


Kim K attended the Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in NYC on Friday.  Read on to find out how longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic achieved her look...



FACE
On her skin I applied Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation blended with a bit of moisturizer, and used LaMer concealer under her eyes. I then set her face with Shu Uemura loose powder.

For a subtle glow, I sweep EYE M GLAM highlighter by Giella Cosmetics onto the cheekbones, bridge of nose and cupids bow, and applied Hot Mama blush by The Balm.

EYES
For her eyes I swept EYE M GLAM highlighter on her lids and on the inner corners of eyes to brighten and open up the eyes, and used a touch right on the brow bone too. I also filled her brows with MAC Brow Pencil in Linering, and lined the top lids with Lancome’s Art Liner extending it out and up past the eye.  

I then applied Sephora Collection Flashy Liner in Flashy Brown on the inner rim of her eyes and smudged a bit along the lash line too, and finished the look by curling her lashes and applying two coats of Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara in black to both top and bottom lashes.

3 Simple Steps To Washing Your Hair...


Properly washing your hair can literally transform your look.  Check out these three simple steps to follow...

1.  Detangle...before you shampoo.  Hair is at it's most fragile state when it is wet, so detangling in the shower may result in a lot more of your hairin the drain.  Detangling beforehand w help lessen those tangles.

2.  Shampoo & Condish.  Use about a quarter size amount of shampoo and massage it into your scalp.  Avoid applying the shampoo on the length of your hair, especially the ends.  Do not pile all of your hair on top of your head and rub...hellloooo...tangles!  Next Apply your conditioner.  Start applying at the ends, which are the driest, and work your way up.  No need to apply on your scalp,  which can cause greasy roots.

3.  Rinse.  Sounds simple right?  Well a lot of times we just stand under the running water for a few seconds and we're done.  The proper way would be to seperate the hair and rinse thoroughly in sections.  Rinsing with cool water helps seal the cuticle and locks in that shine!



What are some methods you use when washing your hair?

Kardashian Glamour Tan...

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe launched their new self-tanner yesterday at Sephora.  Kourtney talked a bit about it on her blog:

We are so exited about the launch of Kardashian Glamour Tan. It’s a colorless, odorless self-tanning gel that creates a gorgeous color in just a few hours! Khloe, Kim and I try to take care of our skin so it’s really important to us to be able to tan safely and this is the perfect way to do that. You don’t have to lay out in the sun for hours or hit the tanning salons to get a good tan… you can do it safely.

You know what, I'm not even mad at them....I'd milk my 15minutes for as long as I could too!

Spa Review: Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa



Last month during Spa Week, my cousin, my aunt and I decided to book facials at Caudalie Spa in the Plaza Hotel.  We each got the 45 Min Caudalie Vinotherpie Spa Facial and I must say, it was one of the best facials I've ever had!...


Loving Ahava's Velvet Cream Body Washes...

Have you been to the new TJ Maxx store in Rego Park Mall? The beauty section in there is so refreshing. While in NYC two weeks ago, my cousin, aunt and I decided to stop in after visiting the new Century 21. Um, I spent the entire time in the two aisles of beauty. If either of them needed my opinion on something, they knew where to find me and sure enough, they did.


Now, on to my great find. As you all know, I love Ahava products. Well, they have a Mineral Botanic line I've been wanting to try for a while now. I first saw their velvet cream wash in an Ulta store last summer for $21. Well, low and behold, I found the same wash at TJ's for $12! What a deal. The reason why I wanted to try it was because the line prides itself in sulfate free washes that help nourish and moisturize skin. Each wash is made with two organic plant extracts, carefully selected for their benefits to the skin...
