beautiful with any eye colour!

Summer is officially HERE! Swiping on nice earthy tones like Gold, Bronze, Browns, and darker colours are all good for colder weather… but now that it’s all sun and fun, have some fun with COLOUR!

Stock your eyeshadow palette with colours such as CORAL, YELLOW, LIME GREEN and AQUAMARINE. I love love love coral right now. Especially on eyes ! (see pic above). The colour is very flattering on all eye colours!

Just make sure you’re not wearing the same eyeshadow, cheek, and lip colour. That’s a little… odd.
Balance your eyes and lips – focus on eyes, play down the lips. focus on lips, play down the eyes.

Shoes, Shoes, and more Shoes!

I am a shoeaholic and proud to be. This spring you can catch me showing off my ankles in these puppies “Steven by Steve Madden ‘Demetra” in hot Hues like orange or pink … no beige for this fashionista.

I also plan on taking a walk on the wild side in Cut-Out Booties or Fringe Shoes such as these “Jessica Simpson ‘Geni’ ”

Designers being as resourceful as they are have found a way to extend the life of booties by cutting away parts of them – bring Fall booties into Spring. And booties aren’t the only Fall carry-over. Apparently, the powers that be want to milk Fall’s fringe trend just a little bit longer, since sandals, flats and heels with fringe accents are hitting the shoe store shelves for Spring.

I loved Russell Crowe in Gladiator so of course I also love the Heeled Huarache and Gladiator Sandals which have been featured in the Victoria Secret’s catalogue for the past two years.

Okay so the world is in an economic slump but that doesn’t mean I have to give up my one addiction, does it?

LONG LIVE THE SPRING SHOE!!!

There’s been so much buzz about mineral makeup that I can’t wait to try it. I’m really curious if it does what it says.

Some of the infomercials promise a natural, “airbrushed” appearance, and who wouldn’t want that?

Since I don’t have the extra cash to throw away on an expensive product line that might not deliver on its promise, I’m wondering if any of you have tried it and what kind of results you got.

In the meantime, I thought I’d experiment with an affordable makeup line by trying this sample from Maybelline first. I’ll report back to you soon (and please do the same for me).

If you haven’t seen this show, no matter who you are, I’m sure you’ll recognize a little bit of yourself in each and every episode.

We’ve all fallen victim to many of the fashion faux pas that the hosts make fun of (and help remedy, thankfully!), from those tapered jeans you just can’t seem to toss…to thinking you’re still young enough to squeeze into the same styles your friends’ daughters are sporting (I know my instinct is still to head straight for the juniors dept, even though I’m now in my forties!).

I’ve gotten lots of great tips from this show, and if you don’t have time to keep up with what’s current, tune in once in awhile for easy ways to make a better first impression.
