Milani Crystal Eyez Stunning & Sparkly Reminds Me of the Beach

April 1st, 2010 by Crystal

I love hanging out at the beach; it’s relaxing and fun, especially with friends.

I went last week when the weather was gorgeous in San Diego and now I can’t get the beach out of my head! Strolling along the shores and licking snow cones, how much better can it get?

Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette: An FOTD to Kick Off the Movie Release!

March 5th, 2010 by Lilan

A big screen version of a childhood classic, Alice in Wonderland, opens in theaters today! And so, I’ve decided to pull out my new Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows and create a Face of the Day just for the occasion.

I dunno how they do it, but it always seems like Urban Decay knows how to create the mother of all palettes. Remember their Ammo Eye Palette? I created so many fun looks with that one!

Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows ($52 US) is twice the size with some of the same colors (these shades are existing from UD, just re-named to fit the theme) and the combinations you can do with it is ENDLESS.. seriously.

February 15th, 2010 by Crystal

Have you seen a rainbow yet this year? With all the rain we’ve been having the past couple of weeks, I got to see one. The array of colors cheered me up and were so pretty to look at even through a window after the gloomy rain.

I would have gone looking for the pot of gold too, if I had the time and a lucky leprechaun.

Now that the clouds have lifted, this week’s New in Beauty features colorful makeup and bright-scented products to keep you looking and feeling vivacious all day!

If you like pink, coral, plum, or amber, MAC Spring Colour Forecast Collection has you covered! This huge collection of four mini collections features some insanely bright colors like MAC Eyeshadow ($14.50 US) in Hot Hot Hot. If you are bold and love experimenting, go for this bold coral hue!

Valentine’s Day Get The Look: Embellished Basics

February 9th, 2010 by Crystal

I read in a recent issue of Real Simple that women in the early 1900s never considered leaving the house without a matching coat, shoes, and handbag. How improper that was! While we do not go to such extremes now, there’s still a level of harmony that’s maintained between fashion and beauty.
