A Red Lipstain to Consider – Lip Maestro No. 400 by Armani

lip maestro 400Personally I prefer a great lipstain, why? Because depending on the brand the color lasts and lasts, especially during and after 4 hours of passionate kissing, now I call that lasting power.

Next time you find yourselves at your favorite department store make sure to check-out Armani’s New Lip Maestro in No. 400.

No. 400 looks like a bright tomato red that would work with a variety of skin tones.

I’ve always admired Madonna, watched Truth-or-Dare at least a dozen times, and it’s sitting in my video collection. (I guess you have an idea as to how old I am?)

Recently for the material girls  MDNA Tour Documentary premiere her makeup artist Sammy H. Mourabit channeled Marlene Deitrich using organic skincare Votre Vu.

Madonna always looks flawless and she knows a great red when she see’s one.

To achieve her signature red lip Sammy applied to different hues in Margaux and  Annette,  he applied Margaux to the outer lines of the lip and  Annette – the lighter tone, to the inner lip.  Giving Madge a dimensional sophisticated look.

Lipsticks are scheduled to debut soon, in the meantime visit @votrevu.com

Miranda Kerr, Net-A-Porter & The Body Beautiful

mirandakerr_december12012Everyone knows by now how much i admire Miranda Kerr, she always looks amazing.  She’s the gorgeous healthy girl next door.  Her skin is always glowing, and it’s not just because she wears red lipstick or use’s organic skincare, it’s because she takes care of her health and has her greens.

I nearly fainted when I finally got around to looking at my favorite blogs and one of them happens to be The Magazine by Net-A-Porter.  This week they are featuring Miranda and she filmed an adorable video letting us in on her favorite smoothie.

For those of you that haven’t started a healthy juice or smoothie regimen, this just might inspire you!
