Hot In The Hive: Bloom Scented Flower Earrings

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageDue to more than one on-the-go mishap involving perfume spillage all over my purse’s interior, I can’t help but feel reluctant about bringing portable fragrances with me to refresh while I’m out and about. But what to do about fleeting scents that just don’t seem to stick to my clothing long enough to last the busy day through? Enter Bloom Scented Flower Earrings — cute, colorful daisy earrings made of paper, designed to be spritzed with your favorite scent and actually hold it way longer than your shirt or skin. Each pack comes with a pair of silver studs and 15 pairs of paper flowers of all sorts of colors that are bound to coordinate with any outfit. Just add a drop or spray of your favorite perfume and you’ll be sure to smell pretty all day long!

Get Mila Kunis’ Gorgeous Hairstyle

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the L.A. premiere of her new film Extract, Mila Kunis looked absolutely stunning. Complementing the feminine and flirty Matthew Williamson dress she wore was her soft, slightly undone yet totally glamorous hairstyle. The look was created by TRESemme celebrity stylist Mara Roszak and the best part is she did it for under $15! Read on for the simple steps she used to create Mila’s show-stopping ‘do.

1. Apply TRESemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse, $5.49, on damp hair from roots to ends. Rough dry hair until it is completely dry, parting hair slightly more to one side.
2. Use a 1″ curling iron all over the head, rotating the direction of the waves. Spray each section with TRESemme Frizz Shield Finishing Spray, $4.54 and tousle waves with fingers.
3. Pull hair into a low pony towards the opposite side of the part, securing with an elastic. Twist into a loose bun, and secure with criss-crossed bobby pins.
4. Leave soft pieces around the face and around the bun, keeping one side cleaner with fewer loose pieces. Finish by misting TRESemme TRES Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray, $4.75 for a long lasting look.

The Coveted Gives Us The Inside Scoop On The Dior Beauty Fall Collection

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe new Dior Beauty Jazz Club Collection for fall is filled with sultry smoky greys, purples, and light pinks inspired by the jazz scene and the daring femme fatales of the twenties and thirties. I stopped by Saks San Francisco to get a makeup lesson with Dior National Makeup Artist Karen Hummel. She shared lots of insider tips and techniques that I’ve been incorporating into my makeup routine. I love how she played up my eyes with the greys in the Smoky Jazz Club compact ($65) and I was blown away by how long and full my lashes looked when she layered two coats of the new Diorshow Iconic Mascara ($27). It almost looked like I was wearing false lashes. I also fell head over heels for the new award-winning Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10 ($45) and Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Powder SPF 10 ($45). They do a wonderful job perfecting the complexion and feel so refreshing and cooling (even the powder). Click over to The Coveted for an in-depth review of the products and a helpful how-to video!

Indulge Your Chocolate Craving With Matte Mocha Shades

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSay “so long” to the shimmering bronze and sandy shades associated with summer beauty. Fall makeup is all about the rich matte shades, reminiscent of a nice warm mug of hot chocolate or your morning mocha. Though neutral matte colors may seem slightly “blah” in comparison to your shimmer dust and glitter eyeliner, these velvety pigments do wonders in warming up your face and skintone when worn alone, and can even be punched up when paired with a touch of gold gloss or highlighter. Go for a softer version of the smokey eye with a dark chocolate shadow, or sweep a rosy mocha sheen on your cheeks for a fall-festive flush. Be careful though, these shades won’t only have you tearing up the makeup department — they’ll probably make you want to take a detour to the nearest candy aisle, too. Take a look at the slideshow for some hot chocolate makeup picks!

Amp Up Your Look With StrangeBeautiful’s Luxe Nail Lacquers

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOk I’ll admit it. I’m an addict! A nail polish addict. I’m constantly looking for a new color, new nail art, anything out of the ordinary for my nails! I’m just not content wearing a basic nude on my fingers or the latest trendy color from Chanel on my toes. I want something different. That’s why I adore this new line of nail colors from STRANGEBEAUTIFUL. These luxe nail lacquers are sold exclusively in sets of eight (called a Library of Color) and packaged in an engraved, handcrafted lucite box. Volume 1, out now, has a well edited mix of cool creamy colors like bright turquoise, clementine orange, soft lilac, and a milk chocolaty brown amongst the offerings. Volume 2, just released, is stocked with milky nudes and browns as well as the faded red of a lobster shell, lemon curd yellow and a deep inky purple. These are not your usual drugstore nail polish shades! Because each collection is limited edition and one-of-a-kind, when they’re sold they won’t be offered again, so you only have a limited time to stash them into your nail polish arsenal! STRANGEBEAUTIFUL’s Library of Colors are available for $79 and sold at Bergdorf Goodman and LuckyScent.com.

Hot In The Hive: Silk’n Laser Hair Removal System

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageWe all know that money doesn’t grow on trees. What does grow, and at a disappointingly too-quick rate at that, is unsightly body hair. You can shave and pluck and wax (ouch!) and groom all you want, but you know your precious hours of silky-smoothness are numbered. And nowadays, how many of us really have the luxury of making multiple visits for professional laser hair removal to banish the problem for good? Well, thanks to the Silk’n SensEpil, you can take matters into your own hands — and not armed with a razor and shaving cream this time. The portable at-home hair removal system offers treatment comparable to in-office laser removal sessions, and in 2-4 sessions is said to noticeably reduce body hair. The built-in sensor also ensures maximum safety by activating pulses only appropriate to your specific skin tone. Sure, its hefty price tag and the need to occasionally replace its cartridges doesn’t exactly make for the thriftiest option ever, but if you’re already considering investing in costly professional laser sessions, this product might just be worth a gander!

Price: $499

Hot In The Hive: Too Faced Lip Bronzer

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageJust because summer is drawing to a close, it doesn’t mean you need to ditch your fab summer glow and banish all your tan-enhancing products to their train-case storage. In fact, there’s one place that might have been neglected by your bronzing beach days — your lips! While the idea of a tan is certainly summery, the bronze-y shimmer of this Too Faced Lip Bronzer is completely fall festive. The tropical flavors and scents may have you nostalgic for poolside days of your recent past, but the three pretty golden-based shades and skin-soothing conditioners never go out of season! Plus, as a compulsive buyer of all lip gloss, especially shimmery versions of natural hues, I can’t help but be on board for this sun-kissed take on the nude lip!

Price: $17 each
