 | When it comes to beauty, sometimes bigger is better. Luscious bombshell hair, shiny kissable pouts and flirty long lashes all point to the femme fatale look that has been toted as the sexy standard for years. Not born with Kim Kardashian locks, Angelina Jolie lips or Eva Longoria lashes? So what? We’ll tell you how to get all three by following just a few easy steps that are tried and true and expert approved! Check ’em out!
On damp hair, rub in a quarter sized amount of volumizing serum or mousse between your hands and work it through your hair, focusing on the roots. Turn your hair upside down to brush smooth and blow-dry. Style as usual, being careful to be more gentle at the roots. Finish it off with a few last spritzes of volumizing hairspray.
Place a small dot of shimmer in the bow of your upper lip and gently blend. Carefully line just outside of your natural lip line with a freshly sharpened lip liner. Focus more on the bow of the upper lip and the middle of the lower lip, tapering and fading out in the corners. Fill the lip with a corresponding lip color and blend with a lip brush. Add a small dot of white shimmer in the center of the upper and lower lip and finish off with a coat of clear high shine lip gloss. Besos!
Then apply a coat of volumizing mascara, also being sure to focus on wiggling the wand from roots to tip for maximum potential. Repeat these steps for the other eye. After both eyes are complete, apply one more coat of volumizing mascara and voila! Long flirty lashes!

Bag of the Week – Topshop Chocolate Whipstitch Leather Satchel
Posted in: Uncategorized  | This bag from TopShop is structurally and texturally classic and simple. It’s the perfect size for a day shoulder bag, without all of the adornments that can render a purse tacky or cheap. Simple whipstitch detailing gives the bag a John Wayne Western feel and it’s all the extra detaling it needs. Also, the adjustable strap with the buckle is cool and subtle addition that’s convenient too! It’s roomy enough to accomodate your daily dependables, but not so big that you end up bringing along everything in your apartment. Plus, we love the color of the rich and truly chocolate-y leather. No huge label, no tassles, no useless gold hardware just a well made, basic, brown leather bag that you will wear well and often. This bag can go anywhere you go and with almost anything you could wear.
