iHeartChristianLouboutin

"In 1992 I incorporated the red sole into the design of my shoes. This happened by accident as I felt that the shoes lacked energy so I applied red nail polish to the sole of a shoe. This was such a success that it became a permanent fixture."

Who doesn't love Christian Louboutin? some of you probably just started hearing about this genius man and his designs the past year or so and can I just say you have been missing out!
Well in the past few months I have been searching for his nail polish kit that he had back in 2009 and still no luck!
Im sure just the black on top and red under the nails will do but I WANT the LuBu Manicure by China Glaze. Although first i need to grow out my nails to do the look. SEE below (FYI: IF you find it I would love you forever!)

Fast, natural and refreshing, The nude look is in for this fall.
As Calvin Klein once said "The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural"
I love the natural look, all you need is foundation a nit of blush on the apple of your cheeks, mascara to make your eyes stand out, light eyeshadow (if you wish) and soft lipstick/lipgloss. below are some amazing nude looks.

Fall 2011 : Vampy Lips

Fall is seriously around the corner! and with this heat, Im kinda glad.
So with the fall near, I'm super super excited for the new looks we will be seeing this fall.
One of my Favorites is the bold lips(vampy lips), which I think NEVER goes out of style. I love hot pinks, reds, magentas, oranges and I'm now just falling in love with the blackberry bold lips.
I hope to see a lot of you sporting this sexy trend!
below are my favorite colors.

Fresh: Soy face cleanser

Who doesn't love Fresh products?? Well their most popular is an extra gentle, multi-tasking gel formula that instantly whisks away every day impurities, removes makeup. && my favorite part (besides removing impurities) this soap free and will never leave behind a residue! You can purchase this for $15 at a sephora store or sephora.com

Burberry Body

“I often describe Burberry as a multi-faceted diamond and so it seemed completely natural that a fragrance that represents all of the different moods, attitudes and expressions of the brand is packaged in a jewel like shape. The colours reflect the sensual and emotive nature of the scent. I wanted the bottle to be desirable as an object, not only because of the scent. I am always inspired by architecture and I wanted to translate the sensuality of the fragrance using these gentle rose gold and nude filters into something iconic and distinctive.” -Christopher Bailey, Burberry chief creative officer

Burberry Body is the new fragrance by Burberry which is being poised to be the new iconic fragrance.
This fragrance was inspired by Britain and has notes of green absinthe, peach and freesia in Burberry Body’s head; a floral bouquet of rose and iris notes mixed with sandalwood in its heart, and notes of cashmere wood, vanilla, amber and musk in its base.


I have to admit I am SUPER excited to try this fragrance.

A MUST

Three things we MUST all do 2 or even 3 times a day as part of our routine:

Tea Tree oil

Growing up my mom always had me use tea tree oil (she is a trader joe's junkie) and I have to admit minus the nasty smell, it is ah-mazing. So below are a few pros & cons of this amazing & natural product.

Pros:
-cleans skin
-prevents &control break-outs
-doesn't irritate your skin
-leaves skin soft


Cons:
it smells a little funky
-dries your skin just a bit

Quick Acne home remedy

Want a quick way to help control your acne, with out a trip to the drug store?
Try this easy recipe for a yummy face mask that will help you control & prevent acne.

I personally LOVE at home facials, because you can apply them, relax, read a book (or watch come TV) then rinse off and have your face feel clean & fresh.

This is an easy homemade facial made of just Oatmeal & honey.


To start make 3/4 of oatmeal with H20(or a bit of milk) like you normally would make.
then let it cool off for a few mins & add a 1/4 cup of honey mix && apply to your face.


**TIP: to help reduce the redness & puffiness around your eyes, also apply a tea bag of chamomile tea over your eyes. ( put the bags in hot H20 then put them in the freezer for a bit.)

Nail polish obsession

As you all know I am OBSESSED with nail polish & designs!
It's a cute way to express yourself <3
So this week I used : Essie's turquoise& caicos && Nicōle by OPI in pink seriously to create a cute summer look.
