Red Eye Shadow Inspiration

These days, it’s not unusual to find unique makeup looks trending. Everyone from celebrities to everyday people are dying their hair colors inspired by the rainbow or wearing bright blue lipstick. One of my favorite unique beauty trends happening right now is red eye shadow. It sounds intense but there are ways that you can wear red shadow without looking like a character from a dark teen romance novel. It’s all about blending order to make this beauty trend work for you. Find out some fun ways that you can rock red eye shadow.

Blended And Creamy- This look is perfect for a festival. It’s all about using a sheer cream eye shadow rather than a powder shadow to make it look like the blogger’s look below.

 

 Bold Liner- Go for a bold black liquid liner  take your red shadow look over the top. It’ll help make your eyes look dramatic and sexy rather than scary.

  

 Red And Gold- Your eye shadow doesn’t have to be one color. Add some gold shadow  to the inner
 corners of your eyes after you’ve applied and blended your favorite red shadow.

Beauty Tips

When you don’t have enough time to do your makeup in the morning, you end up having to beatify yourself on your commute or when you get to your desk. It’s time to simplify your morning routine because your boss doesn’t need to see you applying mascara when you should be working on that report, trust me. Here are some of my favorite time saving beauty and makeup tips ..

Apply Everything With Your Fingers- Skip searching for the right brush to apply your foundation and use your fingers instead. Brushes are useful but when you have to spend an extra couple of seconds searching for the right one, it’s time to nix them out of your morning routine. Apply a cream eye shadow with your fingers, and dab your concealer under your eyes. Add mascara and you’re out the door.

Add Foundation To Your Favorite Moisturizer- Not only does adding a few drops of foundation into your favorite moisturizer create a dewy tinted moisturizer effect, it also save time on application. Try it!

Apply Your Deodorant Before Bed- Did you know that we’re meant to apply deodorant before going to sleep at night? It gives your skin time to let it activate. So apply your deodorant the right way so when you wake up you can skip yet another step to your morning routine.

Use “Two-In-One” Products- Try to use a lip and cheek tint, or a thin brown liner that doubles as an eyebrow brush. You can even use your lip balm through your hair to help tame flyaway hair. These products are handy for when you just need something as your running out the door.

Color Combinations for Winter

When it comes to fashion, you can expect the colder days of fall and winter to be laden with dark colors and though all these look chic and sophisticated, it can get a little boring and even gloomy at times. If you’re like me who can’t stand wearing just dark colors all day every day, I’m sure you’re missing the fun and fabulous hues of spring and summer and you’re dying to throw in something really colorful into your look so we’re here with a number of gorgeous color combinations for cold days that’ll add some cheer into your usual everyday fall and winter outfits.

• GRAY AND YELLOW – gray is a nice fall and winter color when you don’t want to go full on dark with black but still want something a little more muted but sometime this color gets passed off as a lonely color so adding something bright and cheery to it is important if you don’t want to end up with a sad look and what’s a happier color than yellow? Gray and yellow together is a color combo you should definitely not miss trying.

NAVY BLUE AND ORANGE – navy is a wonderful alternative to black if you don’t want to go too dark but without a fun and bright color, it can look drab. Navy blue and orange makes a chic and juicy outfit that’s perfect for everyday. Orange, when paired with blue, is the perfect kind of bright color that won’t be too ‘in-your-face’. What’s even better is that you don’t need to wear the brightest shade of orange with navy blue. Even a darker shade like tangerine would look perfect.

BLACK AND HOT PINK – an all black outfit is flattering but it can be too flat. An all pink outfit is really girly and cute but it might leave you looking like a 6-year-old who went crazy at Forever 21. The combination of both black and hot pink together in one outfit, though, is really chic and sophisticated. If you’re looking for a more grown up and less overwhelming way to wear pink, pairing it with a dark neutral color like black is definitely the best way to go.

BLACK AND WHITE – on the top of our list is the color combination black and white because what could be more sophisticated than these two colors together in one outfit, right? Black and white, though super simple and basic, is one of the most versatile color combos you can wear. It’s great for glitzy and dressy looks but it looks superb with casual and street style outfits as well. If you’re looking for a simple but edgy look, go for black and white.

Winter hair care

Summer may be over and that hot scorching summer sun may be out of sight right about no w but that doesn’t mean you can just let your hair be and do its thing while we’re out in the cold. Your summer hair care may have saved your hair last season but with new things in store for you and your hair this winter, you need to update it and make it fit for the season. Here are some winter hair care tips that you can incorporate into your routine.

• DEEP CONDITION ONCE A WEEK – all that dry and warm indoor air you get from the heater and other artificial sources of heat can really dry up your locks so make sure that you do a deep conditioning treatment for your hair at least once every week, even if it’s just a home treatment. If you have the money to splurge, though, go ahead and go for a treatment at the salon. You can use that as your down time / relaxation time for the whole week as well.
• DAILY CONDITIONER – aside from that deep conditioning treatment once a week, you should also look for a good daily intensive conditioner that will keep your hair soft and well-moisturized. You’ll want as much moisture in your hair as possible during the winter because they tend to get brittle with the cold season. Go ahead and skip shampoo but never conditioner. If your hair tends to dry out pretty quickly, you can switch from daily conditioning to every other day.
• FIGHT STATIC – static-y hair isn’t very cute but it’s something you can’t help but deal with during winter. To make static hair go away, use a hairbrush with natural bristles as these do a better job at redistributing oil throughout your hair. You can also place a dryer sheet over your brush, natural bristles or not, to help smooth out your hair.
• TURN ON THE HUMIDIFIER – but, doesn’t humidity cause frizzy hair? Well, yes, but if you have all that heating system giving you dry air indoors, you’ll have to fight the dryness and have some moisture in there and a humidifier is perfect for just that. The humidity will give your hair and skin just the right amount of moisture without frizzing your hair out.
• DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR WITH HOT WATER – yes, when it’s freezing cold outside, an almost-scalding bath can feel so good and relaxing but it can dry out your skin and if it can dry out your skin, it can dry out your hair too! Instead of using hot water, use lukewarm water to wash your hair (and take a bath). If you can take it, try rinsing your hair in cold water.

Fall Home Decor Ideas

Use clear glass containers you may already own and fill them with natural pumpkins, acorns, and squash for an easy, earthy and chic way to celebrate the time of harvest. 

Get playful with carved pumpkins and fall leaves for a whimsical outdoor setup. The throw pillow adds a great graphic touch.

For a lively dinner setup, try oversized pumpkins painted in white against a colorful tablecloth. Keep these around for the season to use at brunches, lunches, and family dinners. Add votive candles for evening events.

Get crafty with a glittery garland that brings the outdoors in. Choose varying shades to mimic the colors of the season.

Let me know your ideas ?

Perfumes for Fall

As the seasons change, so do our moods and the fragrances we wear to reflect them. The warmer scents of fall inspire spicier, woodsier perfumes, reflective of the rich colors and thicker textures beholden to the season. With the official start of fall just a few short days away, I’m ready to update my perfume tray with a few sultrier concoctions. If you’re ready to update, too, think of scents that go hand-in-hand with caramel, pumpkin, and cinnamon. These are the bases that inspired the new fall 2014 perfume lineup, some of which are listed below.

 

 



1. Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone  – Inspired by the sea-side air and windswept shore, Jo Malone’s new fragrance combines the woody earthiness of sage with the freshness of ocean waves.
2. Velvet Rose by Dolce & Gabbana  – If you’re a rose lover, this is the perfect fragrance for you. It combines three different types of roses with a hearty musk base.
3. Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez – This seductively musky scent is clean and forward thinking.
4. Bonbon by Viktor & Rolf  – As the name implies, this scent was inspired by caramel with notes of peach, amber and sandalwood.
5. Halston Woman Amber by Halston – An exotic blend that combines amber, tuberose, musk and sandalwood with Italian mandarin and red currants.

Have you tried any of these scents yet? Which one has you ready to celebrate the holidays

FALL IS COMING

This time of year can feel nostalgic for many of us, knowing the carefree summer days are coming to an end and fall is on the horizon. Seeing your sunkissed glow begin to fade, needing a sweater in the evening and getting back to school means we’re preparing for the chilly months ahead. Despite the sadness you may feel saying goodbye to summer’s warm and sunny days, there’s lots to look forward to in the fall. In fact, many people swear by fall as their favorite time of year. From the gorgeous foliage to warm apple cider – the sights, smells and tastes of fall are just enough to get you excited about the fun season ahead. Here’s a look at the best of fall!

It’s officially sweater season! Time to bust out your favorite cozy sweaters – from cardigans to cowl necks, fall fashion means layering up and sweaters are the best way to get the job done. 

Apple picking and apple pie! One of the best parts of fall is watching the apples ripen and start to fall from the trees. Taking your family apple picking and working together to make a pie can be a ton of fun. A day at the apple orchard is perfect for breaking out those favorite fall boots and sweaters too!

If you love the holidays, you’re in luck when fall rolls around. From Halloween festivities and costumes to a day of family and fun on Thanksgiving, fall is packed with holiday spirit. With a few extra days off from work and lots of time spent in the kitchen, fall feels festive from start to finish.

Miss those riding boots all summer? Well, now’s the time to throw on your favorite skinnies and best pair of knee-high boots for a weekend brunch or night out on the town – whatever the occasion, fall means bringing the boots out from the back of your closet.

What’s your favorite part of fall?
