Rambles Of A Glamour Girl

Posted on by

So today was pretty chill-I threw on my comfiest outfit and went to the mall to pick up a few tops from Charlotte Russe that are going to come in handy for future shoots as well as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day & my birthday. I also painted my nails a bright & festive pink color for Valentine’s Day.  I paired OPI’s “Got a date to-knight” & “Princesses Rule”.

Today I did a simple smoky eyed matte look using my Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Palette, Laura Geller Liquid Candlelight & MAC’s Underage.

I got my bangs cut this past week too-I was in desperate need of a trim. I’m still getting used to how short they are now! Ahh!

Hope you all have a fabulous week.

A Little Chanel

Thanks to my Twitter buddy, Debbie, I couldn’t help but want these beautiful Chanel sunglasses. She did a post on these sunglasses and I was in love. I am usually not the type to run out and buy something so expensive however, these glasses fit my personality so much. They are sleek & oversized and have elegant little white bows on them-I had to have them! Chanel is a such a timeless & classic brand and I know that these sunglasses are going to be one of those items that I will NEVER get tired of. They will go with most any outfit & can be worn all season. I’m in love.

…bought Creme D’Nude from MAC and….I’M IN LOVE. I’ve never found a lipstick that worked so perfectly for me. It’s fabulous & such a flattering shade for my skin tone.

I took some shots to add to my Fashbo portfolio which I’ve added to this post as well.

I was oh so happy with how my eyes turned out too! I created a really awesome maroon smoky eye using MAC’s eye shadows in Jest, Sable & Sketch. With a little bronzer & MAC’s Creme D’nude-I feel head over heels in love with this look.

Wow! Valentine’s Day is just about 3 weeks away so I decided to try to create a Valentine’s Day inspired look. As you know, I am all about the smoky eye so I wanted to incorporate that into the look. I call this look my Sultry Romantic look. I’m always looking for more ways to wear more pink eye shadow and what I really love about this look is it’s a nice spin to such a classic look.

My Signature Look

20100119-DSC_5356


I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I have a major obsession with nude lips. My signature look seems to be smokey eyes & a simple nude lip.


20100118-DSC_5337


I don’t even know how or when it all started but I was going through my lip products the other day and came across 99.9% nude colored lip glosses!This is just a small portion of the many nude glosses I own!

Nude glosses are simple & versatile and I think that’s why I’m so drawn to them. When I think about the last 10 years, my makeup techniques and looks have come a long way. Ok….ten years ago my signature look was…*cringe*…. snow white eyeshadow paired with a mauve/purple lip. In fact, I think my make up collection consisted of no more than…5 products? Oh goodness, thank god I have come a long way!


Although I have come a far way from “snow white eyes & purple lips” I would very much like to start using lipsticks again. I’ve heard some good things about MAC’s Crème de Nude lipstick. I picked it up this past weekend. I’m very excited. It’s a simple color & can be paired with many different looks!

A New Look!

A new look is JUST what I needed to start 2010 off right!



After


I decided to go darker! For the longest time, I’ve been rockin’ my natural hair color and it got a little repetitive.


Before:

I dyed my hair black a few days ago. I have to admit, I LOVE it; t’s a nice, subtle change. I used L’Oreal Excellence Creme in #1. This is the first time I used this particular brand and since I was please with the end results, I’m going to be sure to use the L’Oreal Excellence Creme dye again :)

Look of the Day

Posted on by

A few months ago I blogged about a cute beige blazer that I bought from Asia. When I fist laid eyes on it, I knew I had to have it. Let’s face it, Asians fashion trends are always ahead of other fashion trends. This blazer is incredibly comfy & chic all at the same time. I wore it for the first time today & I can tell this is going to be one of the versatile pieces that I can wear with anything at anytime.
