It’s not that I mind shopping online, but the live experience is just sooo much better…the smells…the silky creams..you get it! Anyways, Sephora’s actually having a sale now, and they’re featuring NARS’ Orgasm/Laguna Blush Bronzer Duo and Orgasm Nail Polish Set for only $53! I love allll NARS products, I think they do wonders for your face, but I especially like this blush duo, the colors are absolutely bre...Make Your Own Cranberry Lip GlossThere’s nothing funner for me than getting a bunch of my girlfriends together and whipping up fast and easy homemade beauty recipes. We do everything from crazy face masks, to nail polishes, to moisturizers, etc. And, since my last “make your own lipgloss” post seemed to generate so much buzz, I though I’d give you guys another yummy lipgloss recipe, and this time it’s delicious cranberry! Here’s how to! Step 1: Take 1 tablespoon almond oil, 10 fresh cranberries, 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly (optional – for more shine). Step 2: Mix ...How to Wear JeggingsWith the return of super skinny jeans and leggings this past couple of years, it’s no wonder the jeggings were invented. Jeggings are basically exremely skinny jeans that look like leggings and are also worn like leggings. I have to say that in the beginning I was not a fan of the skinny jean or the legging, but as time went on, I came to embrace both, and now, it seems like I can’t even wear any other types of jeans but skinny. The problem with these slim types of bottoms is that they’re hard to dress. And jeggings especially, can be a little tricky. A Few Thumb Rules First...The Neon Trend: Would You Wear It?Neon has made a comeback this year, as we’ve seen in on plenty of runways, and fortunately, it doesn’t remind us of the 80s too much. When I think of neon, it definitely brings me back to the 80s and early 90s…and I can’t say I loved the style. But this year, neon is a little different as designers are bringing it back with a touch of flare. So how can you incorporate neon into your wardrobe? Simple. Just wear one neon item at a time, and do it with good taste too. Start off nice and slow with a neon colored accessory such as a scarf, belt, or bag. Wear it with dark an...10 Modern Halloween CostumesHalloween is a time of dressup and fun, and every year, I find myself buying yet another expensive, but cheaply made costume that I never wear again. This year, while contemplating how to dress up, I realized that I didn`t really want to spend a ton of dough on yet another bad costume. Thankfully, Cosmo put out 10 of their best Halloween costume ideas and we think that you may not even have to go out and buy anything to pull off these costumes! #1.Kanye West and Taylor Swift Possibly one of the biggest celebrity blunders this year was Kanye West’s outburst at the VMAs, so why not take ...Top 3 MascarasWhen it comes to mascaras, there’s a ton to choose from out there, and it can get very confusing as to which mascara you should go with. In my years of trying out thousands of different makeup products, I found that the best ones aren’t always the most expensive ones. So here are my top 3 picks for best mascara! #1. CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara This is, hands down, one of my favorite mascaras to use, if not my favorite. Aside from the fact that it’s under $7, it works wonders on your peepers. There is no better mascara out there to get your lashes to look sup...Worst Trend: Masculine for WomenSo I was browsing through some magazines and sites, and found that menswear for women is in…a style which we’ve also seen make headways a few years ago. But I’m not sure it’s a trend I’d like to try…whatsoever. I mean some of the pieces they show are a little too masculine and why in the world would anyone want to wear their boyfriend’s blazer? Sounds to me like designers are running out of ideas. Sure, a vest is fine…and maybe a tie with a conservative/sexy ensemble still works, but wing-tip shoes and boyish pants? Not a chance. I’m a gir...3 Simple Steps to Shiny HairWe all want full, beautiful, youthful looking hair, and that means we just want lots of shine. Why? Because shiny hair simply passes off as healthy hair!
