Hair Obsessed
I am obsessed with my hair, I admit it. If I’m running late it’s because my hair isn’t behaving properly. This weekend I had a daytime wedding to attend, and styling my hair became a mini occupation, why? Because it was going to be outdoors and I was in need of a trim. These areContinue reading “Hair Obsessed”
ELLIS FAAS – Exclusive for Net-A-Porter
I love early birthday presents, thank you! I eagerly opened up the box like a little girl and was so excited over the amazing colours. Especially the Hot Lips L401, I immediately applied the color over my Dragon Girl and am in love! It’s like an orange-red that can be deepened for a darker-red. IContinue reading “ELLIS FAAS – Exclusive for Net-A-Porter”
City Girl in Red Lipstick – France, Bettina Graziani, Model
Today’s post was going to be about skincare, going back to basics to be exact but I changed my mind. I finally was able to surf the net a little and came across an article on Bettina Graziani for Paris Vogue. I love discovering fashion icons of the 1950’s. Who was she? Only the mostContinue reading “City Girl in Red Lipstick – France, Bettina Graziani, Model”
The Allure of a Great Scent – Maison Francis Kurkdjian
I have a heightened sense of smell, this can be attributed to my French gene. Anything I can detect either smells sublime or reeks. The first time I became aware of the power of scent was Stefano, a gorgeous Italian blonde from Rome. All of the girls at work were in love with him, exceptContinue reading “The Allure of a Great Scent – Maison Francis Kurkdjian”
Keeping It Simple – Weekend Beauty Routine
I don’t know about you guys, but I like to keep it simple on the weekends. Unless of course I have a date I’m nervous about. Nervous because there are some men that just make a woman nervous, if you know what I mean. Since I wear makeup 5 days a week and blow-dry myContinue reading “Keeping It Simple – Weekend Beauty Routine”
My Long Weeked
The last few weeks have been hectic for me, with being busy at the office and being an Open House Assistant it left me with little time for creativity and relaxing. In other words, I needed a drink. My weekend started on Friday evening with a bottle of bubbles and watching back to back episodesContinue reading “My Long Weeked”
How Many Shades of Red Do You Have?
I can’t keep track anymore, they are all gorgeous and work with my complexion and pearly whites. I try not to get fixated on anyone color, but sometimes that happens. I’m searching for a new red, does anyone have any suggestions?
JUNGLE RED by NARS
Jungle Red by Nars is a personal favorite that is being worn down to the nub. If you guys haven’t seen the movie “The Women” that’s where the name for the iconic lipstick came from. I love that movie and watch it every other year or so. I’m a huge fan of 1930’s Films. Why?Continue reading “JUNGLE RED by NARS”
Pinks & Reds
Two of my favorite lipstick brands, ELLIS FAAS and NARS. Why? Because the hues are drop-dead-gorgeous. I mean really you can’t go wrong. I alternate all of my lipstick during certain times of the year, sometimes getting stuck with one shade for weeks at a time. What about you?
