The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.  ~Nikolai Lenin

Balmshell Lipgloss($11)

 This unique formula creates a smooth high gloss finish to enhance and give the appearance of full supple lips. Balmshell is slightly flavored with a hint of natural fruity vanilla. All 15 shades are moisturizing and non-sticky, but vary in sparkle and shimmer.

The 1 In 8 lip gloss was designed to educate people and to promote awareness of breast cancer. Between two blossoming trees hang eight bras varied in size, color, style, and shape symbolic of the many different types of women. As the tube of gloss is tilted, a hot pink target slides back and forth. Reinforcing the statistic that approximately 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. $1 from every 1 In 8 lip gloss sold will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).  You can purchase this lipbalm at Sephora or Sephora.com

Tokidoki: The Perfect eyeliner..

I have a hard time with liquid eyeliner (on my own eyes) so I tend to use it only sometimes. I was reading about this liquid eyeliner pen ...can I just say Im soooo excited!.  I order it from sephora.com since my local one didn't have it (boo) and I couldn't wait for it to get here, I had to share what I know about this pen.

 

The Perfetto Eyeliner is a actual liquid liner pen, unlike traditional brush and bottle type the pen is designed to be like a calligraphy pens. 

You can achieve 3 effects with the pen: 

-Thin: use the point of the tip for a slender, exact line

-Medium: hold pen at a slight angle to create a bold, thicker line

-Heavy: hold the pen horizontally and color over the eyelid area for an eyeshadow like coverage 

Here is a list of colors and I cant wait to share my experience with the Perfetto eyeliner! 

What is Tokidoki?

Tokidoki which means "sometimes" in Japanese, represents a hope we all share for moments that might change our destiny, the creative mind behind this brand is Simone Legno who founded Tokidoki in 2003 with his art work and was discovered by Pooneh Mohajer co-founder of Hard Candy Cosmetics and her husband, Ivan Arnold. By 2004 Tokidoki was a favorite line including everything from clothing,accessories, skateboards,toys ect.

Tokidoki is now shaking up the beauty world. From innovative ingredientes, high-pigmented shades to custom design packaging.Tokidoki is a world where criminally cute and irresistibly edgy collied.... This line is sold only at Sephora and Tokidokibeauty.com

Going Gaga for Halloween?

This year I have seen more Lady Gaga costumes then ever and with good reason. Everything she wears and does is in regards to makeup and fashion grabs ones attention.
Lady Gaga is a killer musician with a crazy amazing style, with her elaborate outfits & ever changing hair styles and makeup looks, she fearlessly pushes through the envelope of fashion..
when I think of Gaga I think of fashion. (& Alexander McQueen <3 ). I love to watch her and what she comes up with, whether she is wearing huge sunglasses to glamorous fake lashes she always looks amazing.

Here are a few tips to achieve the Lady Gaga Look..

-Start with a good makeup base, like MAC Studio Fix Powder
  or something with an equal matte look. foundation will give you a flawless look.
    Don't forget Concealer!!
-Try a glitter eyeshadow and colored eyeliner (not too much glitter you don't want to look like a disco ball) Gaga never wears a basic eye look.
-Use a navy blue eyeliner to make the whites of our eyes appear brighter than they actually are.
- LASHES! find a pair of glamorous fake lashes. (try MAC, Shu Uemura, Napoleon Perdis or MyDivaCloset.com)
-Try using bronzer instead of blush, Use the lightest shade of bronzer. apply it below the apples of your cheeks & a little down the bridge of your nose.
- Find a soft Barbie-like pink Lipstick. Gaga is known for wearing MAC Viva Glam VII lipstick.
