What Are Your Beauty Secrets?

August 14, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Something us girls can never get enough of is beauty secrets. Always looking for next thing that will make our eyelashes look longer or our lips look bigger. I’m always open to the next girls suggestion on what works because there are so many products out there that it would be absolutely impossible for us to try them all ourselves. Here are some of my favorites when covering the basics: eye, lash, and lip.

EYES – I think every girl should have a good liquid eyeliner. I usually start with a pencil outline and then liquid over top to make it pop. I admit liquid can be a bit intimidating but it makes so much of a difference and really makes the eyes pop! I myself am a wing fan so liquid eyeliner is exactly what you need to make the perfect lash wing. Some people prefer the paint brush style but this Chanel liquid liner is my fav! Very easy to use, just like any other eyeliner pen, comes on beautifully and bold! Be careful not the twist the end to much because you don’t want globs of liner to emerge, one twist is enough to create the perfect eye line. It does not fade away and is very easy to remove, what more could you want!

Chanel Eyeliner

ÉCRITURE DE CHANEL AUTOMATIC LIQUID EYELINER–Water-based eyeliner with a soft and supple felt tip point that delivers a precise line every time. Extreme comfort matches ease of application. $32

Dior Liner

DIOR EYELINER PENCIL– As seen on the cover of Lucky magazine (June 2007 issue). A must-have, all-in-one beauty tool. These rich pencils are dual-ended with a soft pencil at one end, and a foam tip at the other for blending. (i love blending :) ) Inside the cap is a sharpener for application precision, allowing you to choose between a more natural look or a smoldering eye. $24

What A StuDD! –Fallon

August 14, 2007 · Leave a Comment

A company called Fallon has reminded me how much I love studs. You dont have to be a punk rock queen to rock these fabulous accessories that I came across at Barney’s Co-op. I think it’s a classier way to flash your hidden wild side, and decently priced too.

The lace-up booties have slowly but surely been gaining momentum as one of this seasons fashion staples. They’re old fashion glamor and have always given me the Marie Antoinette feeling. Read on for my break down of popular styles and trends:

–The classic oxford leather style that can give off a masculine feel with wing-tip details but yet a feminine twist.

Ksubi (formerly known as Tsubi) is an Australian clothing label. They rarely advertise but are featured frequently in fashion editorials. The point is that their jeans are KiLLeR.
