Hello beauties,
As you already know I’ve just posted an article about the newest lip gloss from Max Factor that is going to be launched in April.
The new Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss will be available in 10 shades but you can read all about it here.
Max Factor’s celebrity make up artist Caroline Barnes says, “Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss is perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any make-up look and is one of my essentials tools when working with celebs backstage. The applicator and high shine gloss works in harmony to embrace your natural lip curves with high shine-appeal, leaving them looking fuller and more defined. I love that all the colours in the range are totally wearable and that the gloss formula is non sticky.”

If I look in the calendar Spring is only 3 weeks away but if I look on the window I see the middle of winter. Snow everywhere, ice and cold temperatures. This week only for a day was sunny outside and I just imagine it could be a spring day so I came up with this Pink and Coral Makeup Look.
I’m attracted to pink eyeshadows, pink glosses and almost everything that is pink and can me used in makeup. This is Spring like I see it. What is your makeup spring look for 2010?
I’ve used pink lipgloss on my lips and a pink creme color on my nails but if you are interested in the whole makeup and close-up photos keep reading. Continue reading ‘My Pink & Coral Makeup for Spring 2010′
Hi girls!
How is your weekend so far? What are your plans for Saturday night? Before getting ready for a party night I thought to share with you my impressions on the Illamasqua Explode the newest Sheer Lipgloss from the Dystopia, the Autumn/ Winter Collection of 2009.
As you already know by now, I’m crazy for any lipgloss in pink shade, shimmery, sheer, with water reflections or anything that can make my lips look fuller and sparkling.
The package
First of all, the lipgloss comes in a tube simple but chic in the same time. After you remove the black cap you can notice the pump which serves also as an applicator. You just need to gently push the tube to make the lipgloss come along the pump.

Contrasts are the law when it comes to color lips this season: you can opt for electric colors, but even for some very dark ones. Common denominator is boldly. As for me, I think I will stick to those electric colors, cause being so white skin dark colors won’t do anything else, then make me look very pale or even Emo style.
Tip: If you want purple or electric pink lips, the eyes makeup should be reduced to minimum – neutral eyeshadow and mascara -, otherwise you will get more a funny look then a trendy one. For evening, when you want a retro-glam look, you can accentuate your eyes and lips, with the condition that you’ll stick in the same color range.

I know that you are curious to find out with what colors and makeup styles you will be in the spotlight in the cold season, so I will give you all the details about the newest makeup trends. I will split this article in 3 parts and dedicate this first part to makeup for your complexion. In the next two parts I will uncover you the latest trends of hot lips and sexy eyes.
DOLL FACE
Complexion like porcelain and cheeks like only dolls have are among the celebrities looks of this season!
Tip: To see exactly where you should apply your blush, look in the mirror after you made a little effort to see where your cheeks turned naturally pink. You won’t fail, if after you shook up in your hand the brush loaded with powder or blush, you start applying from the lower part of your cheek b bones to the temples.

Since Bourjois has launched the Butterfly effect this year, I wanted to try out this makeup. Blue is not among my favorites eyeshadow colors but this look reinvents blue into a new ultra modern version. Being a green eyes girl I tend not to use blue or green eyeshadows.
Found in intense shades of purple, blue is at the same time representative of elegance and rock ‘n’ roll. In combination with shade of rose petals, takes over the electrical reflexes as vibrant as butterfly wings.
Eyes: a dark purple makeup resembling an electric blue due to the eye pencil and outlined by a black Kohl with blue reflexes.
Eyelashes: covered with a black rock ‘n’ roll mascara.
A fresh an healthy complexion.
A fresh sensation of the lips,translucent shades of colors, bright light and soft.
Electrical nails, but elegant.

Lips that shines very discreet, attract attention without loading your look to much. You must know that particles that reflects the light make the defects even more visible, so lip’s exfoliating it’s a must. You can use a towel soaked in hot water, then apply a lip balm and a gloss with shining particles. My favorite is Lancome Juicy Tubes Pure ( 18$ ). It’s a natural, high -shine 15ml lip gloss that contains a mixture of Shea butter and naturally derived oils. Lancome Juicy Tubes Pure will condition your lips providing a rich color. It’s only available in Sephora and some of the shades are in limited edition. I love the Lavender Zen shade but next I want to try the Wild Berry ( dark berry color). You can also order online from their shop and check-out the new colors.
I’m usually a fan of lipglosses but what I love most about this one is that it leaves my lips super glossy and fragranced without being sticky. Lot’s of ladies tried Lancome Juicy Tubes and they quickly become a fan of this product raking it with 4,7 stars from 5.

Hair
Hair is porous, so it’s an excellent carrier’ for perfume. It will also scent the air around you every time you move. Stick to alcohol-free hair mists to avoid drying out your locks – Thierry Mugler Angel Perfuming Hair Mist, 18 eur, is formulated to diffuse scent for eight hours.
Neck
Fragrance applied to your neck and behind your ears will envelop you, making these great spots to get the most out of an evening perfume. Buy a perfume with an old-fashioned glass stopper -dabbing on scent is an indulgent ritual. Jean Charles Brosseau Ombre Rose Perfume.
Lips
To entice lover, Cleopatra dabbed her brow with civet (from the, er, anal gland of the civet cat) and lips with perfume. You wouldn’t want to do either but you could sweeten your kisses with peach and berry scented Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger Rollerball/ Lipgloss duo. Continue reading ‘Get scent sitized’
