The Hills Season 5

So, I watched the first two episodes of The Hills 5th season last night, and yes I'm aware it aired on Monday night, but I do not schedule my life around Lauren Conrad's melodramatic behavior and Heidi Montag's out of control relationship with Spencer Pratt. Let me start by saying, it was absolutely brutal having to look at Lauren's face while she was celebrating her birthday.... on a YACHT!.... that she didn't even appreciate!...If my girlfriend's planned a surprise party for me on a yacht... the very least I could do would be to pretend to be happy about it, but apparently when you're Lauren Conrad the only thing bigger than the yacht is you're sense of entitlement. Anyway, back to my main grievance....her face….specifically that awful shade of red lipstick. Now let's give her some credit, red lipstick is a hard thing to pull off and the wrong shade can have you looking more like Marilyn Manson than Marilyn Monroe. And I do understand she was trying to be glam with those pearls and the wavy hair but seriously, she should have put that effort into choosing the right shade. Because at the end of the day, that colour just didn't work.

Now, since I am airing grievances, in the spirit of fairness I have other issues with some of the actors…ahem...cast members....Firstly Audrina, how dare you not invite Justin Bobby to Lauren's birthday? Justin Bobby is the person who makes the show worth watching! Do you actually think we watch the show to see Lauren Conrad complain about a rumor spread 4 seasons ago? No, we watch because we want to see how badly Justin Bobby is going to treat you and how he will convince you to love it. Also - we sometimes watch because of Brody Jenner - yeah, I said it. He is kind of attractive, sometimes. Not so much in this episode though....did you see how he attacked Lauren's cake? Next I would like to thank Lo Bosworth for leaving her hair down and covering her large ears. Thank you Lo; please keep your hair down at all times.

Now last and most certainly not least you know I have to bring Heidi into this...Heidi to me is fantastic because she is living proof that only in America can you be impossibly bad at five occupations simultaneously and still make piles of money. Anyway, is it me or does that girl's hair just gets bigger and bigger each time we see her? I mean really....Heidi…relax with the extensions, your hair is beginning to look like a lion's mane. Oh, and please ditch Spencer...his face makes me ill.

One last issue I have is that The Hills as whole could be so much more entertaining if they would just pursue more intresting storylines...they seem to do this somewhat effectively on The City but somehow they can't on The Hills and almost everything has to center around Lauren Conrad versus Speidi. Lauren, get over it! She apologized with CHANEL! When people apologize with Chanel it means that they are really really sorry!! Give the girl a break...look at her boyfriend/fiancé she really doesn't have a lot going for her.

That is all.

For now anyway....

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!
