Find out which celeb-inspired cut can instantly update your look |
 Bored with the same ol’ same ol’ style you’ve been rocking? If you’re ready to take the plunge, take this quiz to find out which celebrity hairstyle you should steal. |
Watching the new Lady Gaga/Beyoncé video has had me seeking out all my matte lipstick shades. I was wearing a Mattene one from MAC most of today and I made the mistake of wearing it without a lip liner. When I got home for the day, oy, it bled outside my lip line. I quickly decided I don’t really want Lady Gaga’s lip look. Somethin a little sheerer is probably better. So after wiping it off, I applied LIPSTICK QUEEN’s new Fired Up Power Gloss ($18 @ lipstickqueen.com). It’s not as pigmented as the Matteen because it's a gloss but I was looking for a lip commitment at this point in the day anyway, so this fit the bill perfectly! This sheer fire engine red has got my engine roaring.

I
was in Banana Republic over the weekend looking or some springy tops and they
had nothing. Everything was grays and beiges! Huh? How is that anyway to
welcome the spring season?! That got me thinking. What colors are you feeling right
now? I’m jumping on the green bandwagon. Not so much the pastel green but the true greens. Here are some I’m sporting right
now:
SPA
RITUAL Nail Lacquer in Yes, I Can ($10 @ sparitual.com) – grass green cream.
BLOOM
Shadow Liner in Emerald Green – ($24.99 @ bloomcosmetics.com) - metallic
emerald green.
ILLAMASQUA
Powder Eye Shadow in Stalk ($20 @ sephora.com) - matte teal green.
GUERLAIN Terracotta Fard Indien Mineral Eyeshadow in Jungle Dust ($35 @ sephora.com) – deep green shimmer.
If you are looking to stay within the season's color trends, the one from Guerlain is spot on Pantone's radar of their Dried Herb pick. This one here looks like dried oregano!
I'll be picking my favorite products that are on point with this seasons picks to be sure to check back. Is there any color trend that you are most into these days?

I
don’t know the last time I saw a makeup product as concentrated as MAKE UP FOR
EVER’s new HD Microfinish Blush ($25/.33oz @ sephora.com). I mean, a little
goes a loooong way. The first time I used it I squirted some out and, “oh,
geesh, I squirted too much. Now what?” Since you can’t really control how much
is dispensed, I’m guessing this has probably happened to everyone who has tried
this blush. It’s just like every pump you find attached to a face serum or acne
spot treatment (two I am looking at on my desk). This is the only room for
improvement I can see with this one because the blusher itself is awesome and
the most pigmented I have seen in some time (make-shift eye shadow if you’re in
a hurry?? The neutral pink of Nip Slip would be nice on a lot of skin tones).
They describe it as, “a combination of mattifying and reflecting powders (to)
create a soft focus effect on cheeks to blur imperfections.” And what a flush
it creates! No matter which color you choose be sure to blend, blend, blend.
Available in 14 shades.

Ooo,
how I am feeling the bright colors of Spring right now and GIVENCHY’s Le Prisme
Mono Eyeshadow in Dressy Indigo ($29) is four shades of dark blue jean blue is
hitting the spot today. Go from day to night with one compact!
The
other item from their Spring-Summer 2010 Collection I am loving is Le Prisme Powder
Blush in It-Girl Purple. Not sure why it’s called It-Girl Purple as all four
shades are pretty pinky as you can see in the picture I took here. The squares
are pretty small though so to just concentrate on one or two of the shades at a
time. Barbie would be in heaven with this one!

Ok,
let’s get the bottom line out of the way … $29 for a lip balm? VOTRE VU
Champagne Kisses Enhancing Lip Balm does have a heafty price tag but think of
this as a splurge in a Splurge Vs Steal comparison. This nourishing formula
contains sweet almond and coconut oil, Tocopherol Acetate (a compound of
vitamin E and anti-oxidants) and Shea Butter (it’s the first ingredient
listed!) to moisturize the lips and it smells like vanilla.
And there’s been quite a buzz about this French line so I’ll keep you posted on other products from it that I have the chance to try out! Read more about the line @ votrevu.com.

When
doing your makeup or hair, what tools you use are as important as the products
you are using. One hair line I’ve written about quite a few times on the site
is SPORNETTE. They are always coming up with new brushes to make a stylists job
easier, or in my case, the average girl’s job easier! The latest one to wow me
is from their latest Zhu II Collection. The handles are all made of bamboo and have
a slab of compressed cork particles for grip. And the bristles? Of course only
the finest boar bristles and this one combines them with Tourmaline enhanced
nylon bristles to help condition each strand as you run it through. There are
four brushes available – 3 round and one cushion. While I have tried all four,
I think my favorite overall is #2250, the 2 ½” Diameter Boar Rounder ($18 @ whatshotbeautysupplies.com). It seems
to be the easiest to control and style to my liking my medium length hair.
And this brings me to another topic - when was the last time you thought about your hair brushes and what you use on your hair? They have a great link on their site to help you pick a brush. Click here to see what you need.
