My Top 10 Fall Nail colors!!!!!

14 Sep

One of the biggest statement making accessories in your wardrobe is your NAILS!!!!!  Nail color can change the entire vibe of an outfit and make you feel polished(no pun intended) and pretty!!!!! The greatest thing about this fabulous “accessory” is that everyone can afford a bottle of nail polish! I wear drug store brands as well as designer and everything in between.  The polishes I will be featuring in this post are all by Essie are around $8  which I think is mid ranged, HOWEVER there are many more affordable options like wet’ n wild and small sample polishes at your local beauty shops.  If you’re on a budget, you can still have fabulous nails!  Anyways, let’s get right to it……here are my top 10 Fall nail polishes that I will be rocking throughout the Fall and well into Winter. Get involved people!!!

Essie ‘Armed and ready’ is a metallic dark olive-green available HERE.

Marc Jacobs Beauty…Full Collection Available In Less Than 72 Hours!

6 Aug

A while back I did a post on the upcoming Marc Jacobs Beauty collection and the growing anticipation throughout the beauty industry and amongst makeup junkies alike.  Well, I’m back with an update of sorts!  The time has come people….in three days we can all get our hands on the entire 120 piece makeup collection that Jacobs has created and that will be sold exclusively at Sephora and select Marc Jacobs stores!!!!!  Jacobs has left no stone unturned with his debut brand. There will be products for eyes, lips and face including brushes!

Last month, Jacobs gave us a glimpse of what was to come when he released a sneak peek prelaunch of five products in sleek packaging on sephora.com.  Most items have since sold out and the reviews are amazing!

One product keeps coming up time and time again! I haven’t stopped hearing great things about his liquid eyeliner calligraphy style “pen” called the Magic Marc’er. Priced at $30 rumor has it, it’s worth every penny and unlike any other eyeliner on the market. The intense blacker than black formula dubbed Blaquer is waterproof, non- fading, non-transfering and provides a precise line everytime! The reviews speak for the product!  The collection debuts August 9!!!!!! Who else is excited!????!!!!

Don’t Forget Your SPF!!!!!!!

30 Jun

I am an SPF freak!!  I have naturally tan skin and I still slather it on because skin cancer and wrinkles don’t discriminate! As annoying as it is to apply SPF EVERYDAY, you can always tell the women who do from those who don’t!  Below,IG5

I shared this picture of my favorite sunblock on Instagram last week. I use SPF 50 for my body and 70 for my face. I prefer a specific face lotion because I’m super sensitive and don’t like the thick greasy feeling on my face.  This particular formula is  oil and fragrance free and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. It also has antioxidants and great stuff like vitamin A, C, and E for skin which is a plus!   These Sunblock lotions are available at your local drug stores and are totally worth it!!!!!!! Protect your skin.
