Rihanna's AMA Makeup

Love it or Hate it....What do you guys think?

Finger Paints- Art Deal of Fortune

I picked up this polish at my local Sally's Beauty Suppy Store for around $4.00 using their discount card. The price was definately right, but how was everything else...you ask? Keep reading.

The consistency is thinner than what I would expect from a quality polish such as OPI. The brush was large enough to coat my nails evenly with only a few strokes and I loved that. Even after using my Sally Hanson Super Fast Topcoat the polish did start to chip a little the following day. The color is a neutral golden bronzed toffee color. Work appropriate, sublte and perfect for the fall season.

Would I repurchase? Heck yeah. For the price and Finger Paints extensive collection of colors, I would just invest in a new topcoat! I've got my eye on Candy Cane Shimmer, a color that just came out with their holiday collection.

Jimmy Choo and H&M have teamed up to bring us a limited edition collection featuring shoes, handbags and accesories priced from $30-$200! The collection will be released on November 14th at 200 H&M locations.

I'm not a shoe lover but I do have my eye on this rocker syle clutch priced at $99.

What I'm Loving Right Now

Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads

So there's one thing I'm afraid of...and it's wrinkles. I try my hardest to use products with SPF and give myself weekly 40% lactic acid peels at home. But, we all can do more. Right? Enter un-wrinkle peel pads. You just apply it after washing your face and neutralize with water. It makes my skin so soft and I hope it's keeping the wrinkles at bay.

It's amino acids alpha, beta and gamma exfoliate, resurface, clarify and firm your skin. This product claims to minimize pores, fine lines and even skin tone. Contains a number of vitamins, chamomile, and green tea extracts.

*fingers crossed*

MAC Warm Blend Mineralized Skinfinish

This baby came out with the Colour Craft Collection and there isn't an unpleasent thing I can say about it. It's absolutely gorgeous! It's a trio of colors that can be swirled together and applied as a bronzer, contour color or even over the cheeks as a nice glow. I have worn it in every way possible. I have worn each color separately as an eye shadow as well. This is a must have if you can still get your hands on it.

MAC Lusterglass Love Nectar
The best peachy nude with golden pearl shimmer lipgloss on the planet! I have one for my personal use and another in my kit for clients. It works well on just about any skin tone. I throw it on alone or sometimes pair it with different liners for more bronze or a more pink effect. I do alot of smokey eye looks and this is my favorite go to color to set it off. Visit MAC Cosmetics and pick one up.

Juicy Couture Perfume
This has all the notes that I love in a perfume. There's a mix of sweet, fresh and floral. Very girly and whimsical. It's been described as "something Barbie might wear". There is one note that I'm not so fond of and it's the tuberose. Blah! I don't know why but it reminds me of my grandmother's perfume. I'm not into sophisticated and complex scents like Chanel No 5. I want something fun, free spirited and alive. Thankfully, the tuberose note disappears and then it's topped with a hint of vanilla and white flowers. Which is the most prominent. I will buy this scent over and over again. Available at Sephora.

The Mineralista Mineral Pigment in Blush
This is a beautiul sheer shimmery pink that I use as a wash of color on the lids. I purchased this sample for $1 and it has been well worth every cent. I ordered several pigment samples and recieved them in less than a week! The Mineralista isn't currently taking orders.  

Heartbreaker Cosmetics Charmers Glow in Slick
I have been using two products from Heartbreaker Cosmetics recently. This one has to be my absolute favorite. Their line of Glows are similar to MAC mineralize skin finishes--without the high price. A light dusting provides your face that iridescent glow that wakes your face up. It's described as a bronze glow with bronze shimmer.
My other favorite is It's Magic eye color. It's beautiful as an inner corner highlight to add a tiny pop of white shimmer to my bold smokey eyes. $1 for a sample...does it get any better? Check them out and let me know what you think!

Celebrity Makeup: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer looked amazing on the red carpet at the "This Is It" movie premiere. The talented Bebe Booth spills the beans and tells us how you can re-create Jennifer's eye makeup at home using a drugstore brand that I love, Milani Cosmetics.

"To achieve these beautiful bold smokey eyes for an evening out on the town, you will need several shadows to create the look. I recommend two palettes from Milani’s Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows; Backstage Basics ($8.99) for your shimmery silver & black shades and the Ready To Wear ($8.99) palette for the golden highlight around the inner corners of your eyes. Each of these palettes has six shades to choose from, so you have many options for creating a soft or heavy smokey eye. For this look, keep the darker shades toward the outer crease and the shimmer highlights toward the inner crease of the eye. To really make your eyes pop, you will need Milani’s Eyeliner Pencil in True Black ($3.99). Line the eye top to bottom from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye; don’t be afraid to smudge the liner for a softer affect. Though it might feel strange to apply the pencil liner along the inside of the waterline, it will definitely give your smoky eye that dramatic affect Jen is known for. Don’t forget about the lashes - you want them to stand out as well - so apply several coats of Milani’s Power Lash in Black ($6.49). I recommend applying the first few coats of mascara for thickness, let the lashes dry and then go back to add length with a finishing coat. "
