How to :Rock Red Carpet Looks

 

 
Hello ladies, I hope you all had a wonderful week, but may the weekend be even better. In today's blog I want to talk about red carpet looks, and how you too can rock such looks! Let's take note on some of the things one must do.
 
Key fact: Okay, who ever said that only starts can achieve red carpet looks? Wrong! Anyone can achieve such a look; anyone can be unique and owe their personal style. However, ladies, the key to rocking anything you wear is confidence. My motto is, "if you like it, you'll own it."
Nothing is better than confidence when it comes to fashion.
 
When to Rock such Looks: Many times, people think, there is never an event in where I can go all out and dress up, it will be too much for the event. But ladies, let me ask you. How many times a year does a women ever get to dress up? Think about it for a second. See, it doesn't happen very often, so why not go all out for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries? Ladies, often times we don't take advantage of these events to dress up and be girly. We are all to use to being comfortable in our pants and shirts.
 
The outfit: Well, what could you wear? Truthfully, you can wear anything! We've all seen starts rocking some funky outfits, you can too. Go for the funky short dress from the front and long from the back. Wear a address that shows a lot of back or a lot of front; whatever you feel comfortable with. Ladies, set not limits to how you can dress up. It is too often that care too much about others opinions, when the only opinion that should matter is your own, and your boyfriend’s or Husband of course.

Okay ladies, there you have today's blog. I hope you find inspiration within in it. Remember it's always good to have a day in where you feel like a princess, who ever said that the only day in where you feel like princess is on your wedding day? Geez. Dress it up ladies. Have a wonderful weekend.

Soft and Kissable Lips

 

           Happy Friday Ladies, I hope you all had a stupendous week. I’m super excited for the weekend. It’s Canadian Thanksgiving, which means most of us get an extra day of rest, asides from eating good food! Anyways, what I really want to talk about to is how to make your lips look luscious, and feel great. Let’s take a further look. 

Moisturize: Okay First thing is first, you never ever want to apply lipstick on dry lips, it’s not pretty, and it looks, to be honest, a little gross. So ladies always moisturize, especially now that the cold months are before us. 

Purchasing Product: So what it next? Well selecting a brand of lipstick. When you purchase a lipstick you want it to be long lasting, and none sticky!!! I hate sticky lipstick, and believe me your boyfriend or husband won’t like it either. So, what do I suggest? Stick to what you know, or consult with a person that works there, and ask him or her about the product. In fact ask if you can sample the lipstick. Wear it for a while and then decide, was it stick, and long lasting? If it was not sticky and it lasted a long time, got back to the store and buy it.

Liner: Okay, here is another idea you can try out. Use lip liner as lipstick. This is convenient for women who want to find a particular color but can only find it in the liner. On the other hand, believe it or not, there are women that actually prefer to use liner because they like the texture of it better. I don’t know if it’s happened to any of you, but sometimes lipsticks cause the lips to peel, and it doesn’t look good. Furthermore, some women believe they can achieve a great matte lip by painting their entire lip with the liner. 

Lipstick Remover: Alright, there has been all this talk about long lasting lipstick, but what if you don’t want a lipstick to last 24 hours? What if you want to change lip color? I had wondered the same thing, until someone told me that I could use Vaseline! Oh the wonder of Vaseline ( I should do a blog about that ), anyways all you need to do is apply some Vaseline to your lips, make sure you put on a reasonable amount, leave it on for a little while, and then remove your lipstick with a cotton pad. In adding Vaseline, you’re also moisturizing your lips, so this is a good thing to do. 

         Okay friends. That is all I have for you today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and to all our Canadian readers, have a wonderful thanksgiving. Enjoy turkey eating, nom nom nom nom.

360 Degree Fall Skin Care Part 1: The Dry

When it comes to any changing season, our skin definitely undergoes a chemical change. The solution however is not the same for everyone, even for those with similar skin conditions. Hopefully my tips and tricks below will help keep the changing season blues away.

The Season: Fall. Some may experience dryness, others may experience (like summer) an over abundance of oil production, and some may find the oil spots are dry and the dry spots are now oily. For Part 1 of 360 Degree Fall Skin Care, we are going to focus on those experience dryness or an increased dryness.

For The Dry SkinThose who normally have dry skin may find that with the Fall season, your skin becomes more dry (don't even ask about winter!!!). There are a few things you can integrate into your skin care regiment that will assist with your drying skin.

Try a hydrating mask: A hydrating mask will help give that dry skin a rejuvenated boost. The misconception is that a mask will dry your skin out more. However, like any other skin care product, there are multiple purposes to what the product is used for. While there are masks that help with acne, cleansing, refinement or tightening, there is also a mask for hydration! 

No budget solution: Try the Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask ($88). This hydrating treatment reveals softer, firmer, healthier looking skin. Containing advanced antioxidants like Kombucha (black tea ferment) helps to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals while softening, smoothing, and enhancing luster. 

Middle of the road budget solution: Try the Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial ($45). This is a weightless facial powered by super-charged proteins that melt into skin and works overnight for intense, immediate moisturization. Greek Yoghurt provides a natural source of proteins, minerals and vitamins to instantly nourish stressed, dry skin.

Budget friendly solution: Try Origins Drink Up 10 Minute Mask to Quench Skin's Thirst ($24). No, this isn't super cheap, however it is on the lower end of the price spectrum but still effective. This thirst quenching mask contains algae extracts to deliver an extra helping of hydration while emollient-rich apricot kernel oil acts like a fountain of youth.

Try an oil: Applying an oil to your face? Sounds pretty scary. Isn't it oil that causes acne? Why yes, but there are oils out there that work to boost skin health. Mix a few drops of one of the following oils into your moisturizer and apply. 

For any budget: Any face oil will last a very long time since a little goes a long way. So here are a few options that you can select from:
Josie Maran 100 Percent Pure Argan Oil ($14-$96). This is a lightweight oil that can be used as a daily moisturizer for treatment for your skin, hair and nails. Very rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids that easily absorbs into skin to give a youthful, dewy glow and has astonishing healing, conditioning, and anti-aging properties. 

Origins Plantscription Youth-Renewing Face Oil ($49.50) is a face oil that absorbs on-contact to help repair skin's barrier and replace vital youth-renewing lipids lost with age. 

Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil ($46) quickly absorbs for firmer, brighter, smoother skin. Very rich in Vitamin C, skin appears instantly brighter and more radiant.

Boost your skin with a rich nighttime moisturizer: Add a little extra with a rich nighttime moisturizer. Especially for those who are experiencing dry skin, the moisture boost at night will help keep your skin glowing and hydrated during the day.

No budget solution: Algenist Overnight Restorative Cream ($90) is a rich moisturizing cream that renews and repairs the skin overnight. This cream supports natural cell renewal to improve skin structure during the night. The peptides nourish the skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles as firmness and elasticity are restored.

Middle of the road budget solution: Clinique Repairwear Intensive Night Cream Very Dry Skin Formula ($52) is developed especially for very dry skin that works all night to help block and mend the look of lines and wrinkles, arming your skin for tomorrow.

Budget friendly solution: Though not super cheap, this product works really well. Try Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Mineral-Enriched Renewal Cream ($39.50). A night time cream that is known to have you wake up radiant and refreshed. Containing minerals, moisture-rich replenishers, and vitamins C, E, and H.

Wedding Day Hair Extension Tips

When it comes to your wedding day, you may opt for hair extensions to give your locks an extra boost of volume and style. There are some things that you must take into consideration before the big day. After all, this is the biggest event of your life and you want to leave no room for failure. Here are the 5 things that you need to make sure you're looking haute as you take a trot down that aisle to meet the man of your dreams.

Never Let The Big Day Be The First
If you are not used to wearing hair extensions, make sure that you practice wearing them prior to your wedding day. Yes, you have to practice wearing the hair. The extra weight and length will throw you off balance and may be uncomfortable if you have never worn them before, or at the least, not very frequently. Put them in well before your big day to ensure you know how to rock the look fabulously.

Skip The Dye Job
If you dye your hair, make sure that you choose the color prior to picking your hair extensions. Your new locks need to match your color flawlessy to ensure that the blend is correct. Get your hair extensions well in advance for your specific color. If you feel like a random dye job is needed prior to your wedding, you may be left with unmatched extensions which is definitely not ideal.

Shop Around
There are a variety of hair extensions;synthetic ones, real ones, short ones, long ones, clip in ons, sewn in ones etc. The list goes on and on. Shop around in order to find one that feels best for you. In addition, you will be able to determine whether hair extensions is going to be a one time thing, or if you would like to wear them more often. Deciding this can also narrow down your selection.

What Is Your Style
Decide on the hairstyle that you will have for your wedding day. Different kind of hair extensions can deliver differently for a variety of hair styles. Choosing the style you will rock down the aisle will also help determine the kind of extensions you will want to wear.

Price Point
A wedding is all about planning around a budget, so make sure that you have one for your hair extensions because prices can be extremely low, or extremely high. Find one that offers a price point that is within your means.

... And it's that simple. These five things are truly all that needs to be taken into consideration to promise that your hair extensions on your wedding day are totally flawless and elegantly beautiful. This is your big day and you deserve nothing less.  The added volume, length, and texture from hair extensions will certainly work wonders for your wedding day, as well as many days to follow if you decide that the instant add of stunning beauty and luscious hair is something that you're wanting to enjoy often. Of course, the latter is totally going to happen. How can you not adore an added boost of style?

Fall Fashion

                Hello ladies, I hope you all had a good week. I know, I’ve definitely had a very busy week, and I’m so happy the weekend is finally here. For today’s blog I want to discuss fall attire that you could wear to work, or to a dinner. Let’s take a look at some of the different outfits.

 Long Dresses: Okay, I’m not sure if you guys have seen the turtle neck dresses yet. I have and I think they are super! Many of them are made out wool or fabrics that keep you warm, and who doesn’t like that during these cold months? So, what accessories and shoes can you wear with these dresses? Long heel boots! These are awesome and stylish shoes to owe for this type of season. When it comes to accessories, since it’s a long neck dress, try wearing long necklaces, it will complement the overall look.

Skirts: okay, who ever said you can’t wear short skirts when it’s a little cold out? Of course you can! That’s why there are nylons. You got to owe nylons during the fall; they keep you cozy, yet stylish. With the skirt, wear a nice cardigan or a blazer with a plain top, and throw on some long boots. They could be heels, but low long boots are cuter (in my opinion). In wearing the boots you make sure you keep yourself warm and stylish.

Leggings: Leggings are always a great thing to owe during any type of season, however, in the fall they are especially convenient to owe. In fact, there are actually leggings that come with wool material inside, which means they keep you very warm. Warmth means comfort too when it’s the cold season! Anyways, wear leggings with long sweaters and through on a blazer for the extra look. To make your outfit pop wear a color blazer.

                 

         Okay ladies, there you have today’s blog. May you all have a lovely weekend ahead, and make sure to get a lot of rest, and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. Have fun shopping ;)
