So my inspiration for this post was that my beloved Carbon eyeshadow broke during my most recent move. Luckily, there is a way to fix your broken shadows, so you don’t have to go spend money on a new one!

Attention Barbs and Ken Barbs!
Nicki Minaj has finally been immortalized in Barbie form. Mattel commissioned a one of a kind doll designed by Stephen Summer. The “Her Minajesty” doll is an exact replica of the rap star from her cotton candy hair to her tattoo on her left arm.
Charitybuzz is auctioning off the doll with all proceeds going to Project Angel Food, a Los Angeles charity...

Holiday Gift Guide Vol. 1
So I just started working at the fragrance counter at a department store for the holiday season, and I have to say, this is the best minimum wage job I’ve ever had. Not only am I getting my daily beauty fix but discovering new scents has become an addictive hobby. I’m surrounded by a plethora of wonderful scents and thought I would share my favorites as the first installment of my...

One of my new favorite nail polish colors is grey. It’s so chic. It goes with everything. It’s not as dark as black and is just a great fall color. As someone who changes her nail color every couple of days, it’s nice to find a good neutral color that makes a statement without being too bold. Grey may seem like a flat boring color but it can be paired with a silver shatter,...

Oh, Kerry
(Photo Credit:Getty)
I love Kerry Washington. Every time she steps on the runway she does it with the elegance and grace of classic Hollywood. Recently, Kerry Washington attended ‘An Evening with Ralph Lauren hosted by Oprah Winfrey’ at Lincoln Center in New York City. Kerry looked statuesque in a black Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 gown. Her makeup and hair were FLAWLESS as usual. Her slicked back...

Custom Made
To the average wearer, lipstick is just a stick of coloring and wax in a plastic tube, but to the lipstick connoisseur it is more than just dye and wax. A delicate process goes into every tube of lipstick found on the shelves of drugstores and beauty counters. Generally, most lipstick can be prepared in batches and after the ingredients are formulated, they are combined so the whole batch has a...

Fake It
(Photos Credit: eyeshadowlipstick.com)
I LOVE fake eyelashes! They add so much depth and are a perfect finish to any look. I’ve only worn them once or twice but those few times I got a ton of compliments. I’ll admit that I suffer from lash envy and anytime I see someone (especially a male) with a perfect pair of naturally thick, curled lashes I secretly curse the God that them...

Sad news! Fashion week is over. But fear not beauty lovers, this only means that we have stylish spring/summer days to look forward to in 2012. But for right now, the leaves and temperature are falling and layered looks are becoming our best friends. Our make up is also becoming darker with rich burgundy or violet shades on our lips. Fall is my favorite season because...

I’m one to try new things with my hair. Bangs, weaves, you name it. But personally, I think extreme hair like this is reserved for the truly bold and innovative. Celebrities like Lady Gaga, Grace Jones and Nicki Minaj have also been know for their famous poufs. I can’t pull it off but more power to those of us (mainly the models and celebs) who...

Breaking Molds
As the cliche saying goes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is just a philosophic way of saying that everyone views beauty differently. But throughout history, beauty has been unjustly defined by the presence of a small waist, long straight hair, bright eyes, and a fair skin tone. Our culture has created a mold that decades of consumer advertisements and fashion magazines have found...

Her former beau and co-star Alexander Skarsgard has an alternative cover you can check out here. Inspired by Ms. Bosworth’s...

Towards the End of Summer
Summer is the time for small bikinis, sunny beaches, and bronzed skin. It is also a time to have fun with make up and take it from dull, understated neutrals to bright bold shades. Here are a few of the summer’s best trends that will keep you stylish while transitioning to fall:

Bold Eyeshadow and Bright Purple Lips

Since my favorite colors are purple and green it is easy to see why I am obsessed with this look. The bold colors are really pop against the model’s brown skin and being a woman of color myself I look to this photo as inspiration.
