Sensual Nude Lips

Nude lips are super trendy right now and suit most people. I personally love the nude lip and smokey seductive eyes. It is extremely sexy. Kim Kardashian rocks the look very well, but of course she has her make up done by the pros. If you want to try it out I have a few colours to recommend as well as some glosses that you can layer on top to add some dimension.

MAC Cosmetics
Angel Lipstick - this lipstick is slight pink, perfect for medium and olive skin tones
Nice Buzz Plush Glass - possibly my favourite lip gloss from MAC. It is a shimmery gold with gold pearl.
Bare Slimline Lipstick - this lipstick is a subtle pink with gold pearl

NARS Cosmetics
Chelsea Girls Lip Lacquer - Nude Beige (currently one of my favourites)
Belle Du Jour Lipstick - Nude beige
Blonde Venus Lipstick - Cool Beige
Female Trouble Lipgloss - Lilac Mauve
Giza Lipgloss - Nectar
Chihuahua Lipgloss - Guava

Dior
Pineapple Cocktail Kiss Gloss
Fizzy Lemonade Kiss Gloss

Chanel
Glow Levres Scintillantes Glossimer - peach bronze

YSL
Gloss Pur - #1 Pure Nude
Golden Gloss - #11 Golden Whisper (love!!!)

If you want Kim's look - try using NARS lipstick in Belle Du Jour and then layering on NARS lipgloss in Giza.


PS. I also have a random rant to share….So, this morning I was sitting on the train staring at this guy’s massive coffee stain on his white dress shirt, thinking to myself what a sucker, great way to start your day. After giggling to myself, I got back to reading Bazaar UK Edition, which has the best beauty section this month, when I realized, to my horror….that I was not wearing mascara! How do I forget to wear mascara?! How is that even possible?! I love mascara…I live for mascara…if mascara suddenly disappeared I would not be able to continue on….Luckily, I carry a tube with me at all times, along with a nice selection of lip gloss and a bunch of other essentials…The best part of the entire thing is that, I have been trying to make it a habit to curl my eyelashes and this morning I did! But I some how forgot to wear mascara….not eating breakfast is clearly not helping me function the way I should.

Sephora by OPI Cuticle Oil

I am a nail polish fanatic and my nails must always be done. Recently I began to notice that my cuticles we super dry. Of course, that irritated me beyond belief, but I wasn't surprised since I hadn't used my Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme in a long time. I like using it right before bed and waking up to perfect cuticles, but since I am so forgetful I haven't done my usual bedtime nail upkeep I decided that I needed something that I can keep in my make up and apply just about anywhere, and by anywhere I mean while I am at work, slacking off at my desk. So, last week I wandered into Sephora, like I usually do...and discovered Sephora by OPI Cuticle Oil. It's super handy! It is brush- on so it's fast and convenient. It contains a blend of five moisturizing oils and antioxidant Vitamin E. It also smells delicious which is a plus. I use it a few times a week and my cuticles look fab!

Tracy Anderson Method

Want an A - list body? Celebrity trainer, Tracy Anderson may be a little bit too busy with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow to help you out personally, but don't worry you can purchase her three new DVDs that will whip your butt into shape. Face it, winter is over, you can't hide out in your sweats anymore. Ti's the season for short shorts and even shorter skirts! If you are like me and hate gyms then an at home workout DVD is for you. There is nothing I hate more then going to the gym and being surrounded by sweaty meat heads. Gross! I love to run, but it's still to chilly for that and the Victoria Beckham diet is making me cranky, so soon I will have Tracy Anderson kicking my behind. I will keep you all posted! If you are interested in joining me on my workout journey you can pick up a copy of any of her three DVDs here.  

PS. One out of the three DVDs is for those of you ladies trying to lose your baby weight! 

Jessica Kagan Cushman Bangles

I love jewelry. I now love Jessica Kagan Cushman. She created the original bangle bracelets with phrases on them. Each bracelet is hand poured resin, hand inked and hand finished. They are fabulous and I love them. Best of all they are limited edition, so get them while you can. The picture above is my favourite one, it reads "If you have to ask you can't afford it" - which will soon be added to my collection. Below are some of my other favourites..

Married to the Mob

If you know me, you know that I don't usually dress like this nor am I big fan of street wear. I like my clothing to be simple and classic. Last summer I had to change it up a little bit after spotting a bright pink T-shirt that read "My Girls Rock Balenciaga & Smoke Mad Marijuana". You know I had to have it, right? If you haven't heard of Married to the Mob, you need to get on it. They are bold, and I love it! If you don't mind a little profanity plastered on your clothing then check out Married to the Mob on Karmaloop. Here are two of my favourite t-shirts from their new collection...

Yup. 

Sky High Lashes

Want long, lush lashes? Call your doctor. No, I am serious. Latisse is a new prescription treatment recently approved by the FDA that promises fuller, darker lashes in two to four months. Results last as long as you keep using it. I am calling my doctor ASAP! It's time to ditch the flash lashes!

Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss

I laughed so hard when I first saw this. It is just way too good! What are your two favourite things? If your answer is guys and gloss, then you and I have something in common! I really shouldn't say guys....it should be guy, as in one guy, and no I am not talking about David Beckham...although....anyway, back to the topic at hand...guys and gloss! The people at Urban Decay are genius! They have combined guys and gloss into one handy little tube. Whether you go for a man in a suit (yum!), or a casually dressed cutie, Urban Decay has a man for you. And yes, when you tilt the tube, his clothing does come off...how funny is that? I am a fan of Kirk and Timothy. I though about Julio, but the child that comes with him is not necessary.

Estee Lauder Nutritious Mineral Make Up

Estee Lauder has perfected mineral make up! How can you not love it?! It looks so natural, goes on beautifully and is great for your skin - total win win situation! Best part is that you can get it in powder and liquid form. Check out their website for more details!
