Blog Carnival - Overstock Jewelry

My chic gal pals from the Blog Carnival and I decided to check out the jewelry selection from Overstock.com for some neat finds. I fell in love with this gorgeous Pearl and Carnelian Sea Treasure Necklace.

Fashioned with Anusara threads, lustrous pearls, carnelian, smoky quartz, garnet, and peridot, this dazzling hand-crafted piece is a great accent on almost any outfit. It will dress up a casual jeans and t-shirt ensemble, or compliment your little black dress. The price is totally right (53% off original price), so what are you waiting for? Go get one for yourself soon...

Blog Carnival - Unique Vintage

My very chic gal pals and I formed a Blog Carnival to list our favorite shopping sites (and what we'd love to buy from each!), so here's a sampling of vintage-inspired fashion ideas:

logo.jpg


Sandra from Debutante Clothing's Deblog is "the" vintage clothing guru in my circle of fashion obsessed friends! Leave it to Debutante Clothing to really pick out the best of the vintage inspired fashions featured on www.Unique-Vintage.com.

stopstaring.jpg



Nancy of Ten Pretty Girls has chosen something from the gorgeous dresses at Unique-Vintage.com:

Stella Louise talks about how vintage is not really her thing, but she does find something truly cool-- very much “her” for this summer: Well Above Average Explores Unique-Vintage.com .

webvintage.jpg.





LA-Story's Stevie decided to be more practical in her choice despite some swoon-worthy dresses that were calling to her. She went the accessories route and decided on a pair of shoes because shoes can make -- or break-- an outfit.

web.jpg



As for me, the Interlude Flapper Style Illusion Lace Dress is such a gorgeous 1920s style! The black lace overlay and silver beading creates the ultimate flapper dress! It's truly a classy one to slip into for dancing or a fancy night on the town. I love the filmy lace asymmetrical hem, it is perfect for twirling on the dance floor.

NARS Exotica Summer 2008

NARS has a talent of making neutral shades look so sexy. The new Summer 2008 Exotica collection has a great edgy range of natural looks for everyone. The nude pigments help exude a mystique of the sensual coquette.

narsFace1.jpg


There a couple of great eye color duos. Portobello is a matte ecru and a soft mushroom, giving the lid a very natural wash of color for an everyday look. Unconditional Love (duo cream eyeshadow) has a lovely cream to powder feel, with delicate shades of seafoam and shimmery copper. This is great for those sizzling days at the beach. Galapagos, a bitter chocolate with flecks of gold, is really awesome for a dramatic smoky eye.

Unconditional%20Love.jpg


I love the buttery smooth glide of the velvet matte lip pencils. The Dolce Vita is a pretty dusty rose, while Roman Holiday is a pale pastel pink. Both are nice by itself, but to make it punchier add a touch of the sparkly Supervixen lip gloss (sheer mauve). You can pretty much add Supervixen to every lip color and it will shine. This will definitely stay in my on-the-go makeup bag!

nars%20lip%20pencils.jpg


The Mindgame lipstick (sheer warm brandy) is now my fave neutral lip color. It gives the face a nice polished feel, and with Misbehave gloss, you will get the desired come-hither effect with the cherry red glaze dusted with gold shimmer.

Armani Caffe Collection & Vétiver Babylone

With true Italian sophistication, Giorgio Armani Beauty brings rich coffee shades to the lips this Spring/Summer. The new black of this season is lacquered brown, and his new Caffè Collection is a bold statement ranging from transparent mochas to deep noble browns.

GIRL_CAFF%C3%89_PRESSE.jpg


The ArmaniSilk Caffè lipsticks have a special new formula to perfect the balance between high color and long lasting comfort. Available in eight easy to wear brown-beige shades, I liked the No. 59 Caffè Granita - a frosty mocha that can be worn alone or with a gloss. The star shade, No. 62 Ristretto, is a bit too dramatic for me, so I toned it down with Lip Shimmer No. 45 - a beautiful shimmery bronze that is also great for a nude lip.

PACK%20CAFFE%20COLLECTION_SP.jpg


A tribute to the historical origins of perfume, the new Armani Prive – Les Eaux collection is inspired by the legendary gardens of the world. Rare and exquisite, the notes are selected with great care. Vétiver Babylone is a lavish interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's love for his wife Amytis, who dedicated the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to his beloved.


Vetiver%20Babylone.jpg


The perfume opens up with bright bergamot and citron notes, blending with juicy mandarin. Spicy green cardamom, coriander and pink pepper excite the senses, echoing the primal energy and heat of the desert. Earthy patchouli rounds out the base note, reminiscent of the intermittent shade within the sparse trees. It's a sexy fragrance that is mysterious, seducing you into the lush gardens of paradise.

Three Custom Color Specialists

Three Custom Color Specialists teamed up with celebrity makeup artist James Vincent to create a look inspired by the golden glamour of Miami's international style. The new shades are: Peacock Eye Shadow, a festive teal flecked with glittery shimmer and Poppy Lip and Cheek Stain, a bright warm coral.

Poppy%20and%20Peacock%20300.jpg


To get the look:

Use Peacock Eye Shadow wet as an eye liner and buff the edges for a smoky gradated look. A soft smudge of Peacock Eye Shadow can also be added along the lower lash line. Use a bronze shadow to blend int the crease for contouring. Add a dash of Poppy Lip & Cheek Stain on the center of the eyelid. Apply a navy liner on the inner rim of the eye to define and finish with black mascara on the upper lashes.

f_peacock_lrg.jpg


For lips & cheeks, blend the Poppy Lip & Cheek Stain onto the cheekbones and dab onto the lips. For added glamour, finish with a lip gloss for a sparkling accent.

Shu Uemura Crystal Shine

I am addicted to Shu Uemura's fun lipsticks. The new Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine collection incorporates light-reflective pearls with special hybrid pigmentation to create the ultimate brilliance. The innovative fusion results in a luscious formula that is light as a feather, with 17 sparkly shades to play with. I really like the Shimmery Berry (RD 174 S) and Universal Red (RD 165 S). The artistic shade (Iridescent White) is a great way to transform any ho-hum lipstick into a splash of sexy color.

shu%20uemura%20crystal%20shine.jpg


Portable and convenient, you can achieve lash-curling precision with the new Mini Eyelash Curler. Paired with the famous full-sized curler, the mini curler enables professional control on creating the perfect curl. You can now curl those hard-to-reach inner and outer lashes! It's a must-have for any makeup bag.

Burberry The Beat

Burberry's new perfume The Beat is a bright floral woody fragrance with notes of bergamot, mandarin, Ceylon tea, cardamom, pink pepper, bluebell, iris, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood.

AD_SIMPLE_PAGE.JPG


The edgy bottle design is minimalistic, shaped like a trendy flask and etched with the iconic Burberry check. The scent is aimed at the ultra-cool hipster crowd, but no matter. You can create your own individual beat.

Givenchy Denim Fétiche

Leave it to Givenchy to create another playful makeup collection. The 2008 Denim Fétiche is inspired by the modern and sexy spirit of denim. The limited edition topstitched package design says it all.

accessor%27eyes.jpg


Don't be fooled by the vivid colors. They're quite easy to blend and all the products complement each other. Denim blues and dark purples give a dramatic flair amidst all the lilacs and pinks that are normally offered in spring makeup palettes. I love all the Accessor’eyes Powder & Cream Eyeshadow Quartets and the Rouge Interdit lipsticks. Each is a beauty product and fashion statement all in one!

NARS Spring 2008 - Shanghai Lily

Evoking seductive images of the 1930s silent screen temptresses, the NARS Spring 2008 Shanghai Lily collection is a pearly melange of shimmery neutrals, along with bright pops of lip color.

nars%2008.jpg

The Alhambra duo eyeshadow is a gorgeous metallic rose with a golden champagne. I love the golden champagne (the one on the right), it makes my eyes glow like a film siren. You can pair this with the Abyssinia shadow as a highlighter, blending it up to the brow bone.

alhambra.jpg

The lip collection is an absolute hit in my book. The Success lipstick, a warm sienna shade, goes very well with the sparkling pink Greek Holiday lip gloss. For the vixens, the true red shade of Manhunt (aptly named) will draw all the boys to ya.

manhunt.jpg

I also like the dusty rose of the Dolce Vitalip gloss, a popular lip shade reformulated as a gloss. The great thing about the NARS lip colors is that you can blend to your heart's content.

dolce_vita_gloss.jpg

Fans of the best-selling Orgasm blush will adore the new Orgasm Multiple. Now you can apply this flattering peachy pink shimmer to the eyes, cheeks or lips. It's just great as an overall face highlighter. For those lazy days where you don't want to slap on any makeup, this multiple will take care of it in 3 minutes.

Shu Uemura's REBIRTH

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the famous mode make-up collections, shu uemura introduces Spring 2008 REBIRTH with vivid splashes of color. Inspired by the fresh energetic vibe of the season, it features a special flower motif inspired by an abstract drawing made by Mr. Uemura.

Rebirth.jpg


I love the two limited edition Glow On blushes (Harmonious Orange & Tranquil Pink). Don't be fooled by the seemingly bright shades. They actually go on very lightly, to create a gentle barely-there flush on the cheeks.

harmonious_orange.jpg


The same idea goes for the five new Pressed Eye Shadow shades. Reflecting the zesty life force of Spring, the non-fading formula will guarantee that it will stay put. I like the Earth Brown, Spring Breeze and Yellow Elation colors. They're all wearable alone or blended.

pristine%20green%20eyeshadow.jpg


Lip color is a muted pink/beige this season (try Rouge Unlimited Serene Pink), so the emphasis is more on the eyes. Delicate lips are key for this look.

serene_pink.jpg

Of course, makeup is only a part of the beauty routine. Healthy skin is a major factor in achieving that lustrous glow. The new Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I is infused with chamomile and licorice root to soothe dry and sensitive skin. This great anti-aging oil also doubles as a heavy-duty makeup remover. It will take off that stubborn waterproof mascara in a snap! It makes makeup application and removal a breeze - all you have to do is swipe a Q-tip with a few drops of oil and it's instantly gone.

NARS Holiday Color - Siren Song Collection

It's that special time of the year to sparkle, and NARS has the arsenal to pull your glam holiday look together. Their new 2007 Holiday Collection is full of shimmery plums and glittery silver, along with pretty crimson shades for the lips.

Violetta_duo.jpg

There's a lot of fun colors to play with for the eyes. The Violetta duo eyeshadow contains a smoky lavender and a soft metaillic violet, allowing you to go for a soft and elegant look, or you can layer for a more dramatic effect. The Cheyenne duo is another winner with a metallic sienna and a gothic plum. I also love the sparkly glints in the Night Rider single eyeshadow.

night_rider.jpg

The Luster blush is a nice golden apricot, imparting a warm glow that will work on most skin tones. For lip color, the Viridiana lipstick is the perfect burgundy shade to carry off the Old Hollywood flair. My favorites are the new Rose Gitane and Bad Education lip glosses - sheer sangria and crimson shades that are just gorgeous. Your lips will be saying 'kiss me!' with these colors.

rose_gitane.jpg

Another new item to note is the Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Gloss collection. Combining a long-lasting color with a high-shine gloss, these duos create the ultimate sexy pout. Worn separately or together, you can layer the shades to your individual taste. Or get them all to mix and match! The Sandpiper/Daredevil (shimmering amber coral and scarlet red) and the Turkish Delight/Sayonara (pink sorbet, rose petal pink) duos are expecially lovely.

MUSE Holiday Glitter From Shu Uemura

Shu Uemura has done it again with the dazzling MUSE holiday color collection. Created by celebrity makeup artist and Artistic Director Gina Brooke, this season's look exudes a subtle sophistication.

SUMUSE.jpg

Inspired by the colors of Degas, Monet, and Renoir, Brooke's respect for beauty and art shows in her two versatile eyeshadow/blush palettes. Warm shimmering golds meld harmoniously with rich browns, while the silvery Glitter Mascara help create a sparkly accent. Beige/nude lip colors complete the neutral elegance. This collection will create the 'wow' factor for all your holiday soirees.

Great for dry winter skin, the new Phyto Black-Lift skin care line will firm up skin tone and address fine lines. Utilizing a "green chemistry" technology in the Black Sugar Complex, this sugar molecule complex is a combination of molasses extract and the patented Pro-Xylane(tm). Naturally derived from beech wood and developed from an environmentally friendly process, the lifting and plumping action helps smooth out wrinkles and boosts collagen and moisture levels. The line also contains Black Tea Ferment. Derived from the ancient Kombucha tea, its powerful detoxifying properties also help maintain skin elasticity.

Phyto-BlackLift.jpg


If you need a dramatic flair, the 14 new designs from the Tokyo Lash Bar Collection 2007 will do the trick. Always fun and dramatic, they are never too outrageous for any occasion. The Premium Edition Velvet Feather, Mini Kkaki, Violet Twill, Lucent Sky and Smoky lashes are all beautifully designed to draw attention to your eyes. Don't be intimidated by the appication process. With their super helpful False Eyelash Applicator and a little practice, you too can be a glam diva.

SUlash07.jpg


To make a bigger holiday splash, the 15 gorgeous shades from the new Gloss Unlimited lip gloss collection will make any gloss lover swoon. From coral pinks to dark purples, these shimmery intense colors are non-sticky and easy to wear. And if they aren't adding enough oomph, then try the stunning red lipsticks from the Rouge Unlimited Red Collection . Shade RD165 is a neutral red that will flatter any skin tone. Gliding effortlessly, the ceramide shield provides 8 whole hours of moisturizing comfort.

Sidlab Haircouture - Sexy Runway Hair Made Easy

Runway hairstyling is as easy as 1-2-3 with Sidlab Haircouture's line of gentle products. Taking out harmful chemicals (paraben-free, SLS-free) from their formulas, the professional hair care line offeres a healthier alternative to the mass-market brands that are filled with all sorts of multi-syllabic chemicals.

delicate%20silk.jpg


The delicate ultra-care shampoo is real gentle and foams easily. It left my hair feeling super soft, so I was tempted to skip the conditioning part. If you have damanged tresses like I do, getting the silk ultra-care conditioner or the mend repairing treatment is a must.

Other great styling products include the curlista curl gel (love how it makes my curls spring back to life), the clay texturizer, and the satin shine drops. Whatever the look, you can replicate it with ease and confidence.

Sidlab Haircouture also makes a contribution to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, so not only are you doing your hair a favor, you're helping the company support cure research.
