Get Perfectly Rosy Cheeks With Cream Blushes!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageYou’ve got to admit that as much as you used to dread holiday get-togethers as a kid because your Aunt Millie wouldn’t quit pinching your cheeks, she never failed to give your face some fabulous color. But now that you’re old enough to appreciate a rosy glow and your relatives have ceased fussing and cooing over you, you have to resort to cosmetics to get that same natural flush… unless of course you’d rather stand outside in the cold and let Jack Frost nip at your cheeks for awhile. Pain doesn’t have to equal beauty, though, and since the winter season’s cold weather really likes to dry out your skin, opt for a cream or gel blush (as opposed to powder) to get that tickled-pink look without drying out your face. The key to natural-looking rosiness is to stick with a non-waxy formula — like this sheer multipurpose stick from Nars or Maybelline’s lightweight cream — for ultimate blendability that will still let your skin breathe beneath the color. Check out the slideshow for the selection of my favorite winter-friendly blushes!

Holiday Gift Ideas For Your Most Fashionable Friend!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThere’s at least one in every group — the girl who loves all things designer. Maybe it’s you, or maybe there’s more than one fashionista in your pack of friends, but no matter how many pals you have with high-end taste, you can’t simply afford to break the bank for a bunch of big-name big purchases in the midst of gift-shopping mayhem. The solution isn’t always to go the Forever 21 route (though as a bargain shopper I’m always a fan) — you’d be surprised how many cute holiday-friendly designer trinkets you can get for under $200! For example, this cute heart key ring may come in a blue Tiffany box, but it really doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! And cozy winter-festive gifts like these Michael Kors gloves and these adorable Burberry earmuffs prove that designer names can be practical for the season and aren’t just for show! Browse through the slideshow for 10 gift ideas that could make even Anna Wintour smile!

Hot In The Hive: Lime Crime Makeup Magic Dust

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOne look at Lime Crime Makeup’s webpage — which looks like a unicorn barfed rainbows and shooting stars all over it — and you can’t help but wonder what sort of happy pills this chick is on. But hey — as long as this unnaturally sunshine-y outlook produces gorgeous sparkly shades to add to my makeup collection, I can dig it! Lime Crime Magic Dust is a line of highly-pigmented loose powder eyeshadow, similar to MAC’s loose pigment (but cheaper!), that comes in 23 different bold, shimmery shades. Dust on lids to wear as shadow, or apply wet for more intense color and use as eyeliner. Despite the tag line, “So bright, it’s illegal,” I don’t think you’ll get arrested for having sparkly shadow, but Lime Crime’s collection is seriously vibrant if you’re looking for bold color!

Price: $12 each
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Lime Crime Magic Dust to the Hive.

Lemondrop Obsession: Calorie-Burning Shoes From Earth Footwear

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageCalorie-burning shoes — no doubt you’ve seen them around. They always look like orthopedic running shoes or something a nurse would wear to work. That’s why I got so excited when I saw Earth Footwear at my local comfy shoe store. Earth shoes are so stylish and come in everything from sandals to boots. I, of course, got boots because we’re heading into the winter months. It’s not the “negative heel technology” or the anatomic arch support, or even the Biofoam cushion inside that makes me love them (though I love anyone who has come up with so many ways to make my feet feel comfortable). I love they way they look, and shoes are a major obsession of mine, not to mention I’m new to New York City and going to need a good boot for the winter. I feel like these are going to do the trick.

imageAfter much anticipation, A-Morir is now available at Karmaloop.com! Created in 2008 by designer and owner, Kerin Rose, A-Morir glasses are the IT thing to have right now! A-Morir is a successfully curated accessory line with a particular emphasis on Swarovski-encrusted eyewear.

As seen in numerous music videos, such as on Rihanna in Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” video and on Snoop Dogg in his “GangstaLuv” video, A-Morir is staking its reputation as a celeb favorite. Other clients include Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Cassie, Nina Sky, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey and more!

Looking Slimmer Is A Cinch With The Help Of Our Favorite Shapewear!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSo you’ve had a lot on your plate this past week (ha), but that doesn’t mean you need to wear it on your waist (or hips, or thighs…) for the rest of the year! Since many of our favorite fitted winter sweaters and cocktail dresses can be very unforgiving when it comes to revealing every bump or bulge, the latest in shaping lingerie does things for our body that we can really be thankful for! Looking to appear sleeker in that bandage minidress? Look no further than this strapless dress shaper by Julie France that will keep things looking toned without strapping down your chest in the meantime! And if you want to be seamless in that high-waisted pencil skirt and definitely don’t have room for panty lines, this shaping thong will give you all the tummy firming you need without the extra fabric. Take a look at the slideshow for the full selection of our favorite miracle-working lingerie for all kinds of trouble spots!

Add Some Shape With A Tulip Skirt!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageA lot of brands and designers have been embracing the curves of women with larger hips, and although I think it’s great for fashionable clothing to be available for women of all shapes and sizes, what if you have the opposite problem of hips that are too slender or don’t help to define your waistline? Tulip skirts are a great way to add a bit of shape and volume to the hip area, perfect for women who struggle with square or small hips. They also help make the legs look longer, and they have a bit of a princess quality about them. Tulip skirts are pretty and feminine, and can really help create the shape you want if you usually have trouble wearing short skirts. I love this satin pleated tulip skirt from Arden B. — it comes in several colors, and it’s only $44. It even has pockets!
