Make Me Beautiful

There is a soft, light-as-air feeling to spring. Sheer silk dresses are so delicate they might fly off at a hint of summer breeze; florals burst into bloom, while sweet violet in all its sugared shades is the new spotlight colour. Feminine, flared and flirty, the dirndl skirt suits the season’s free-spirited mood, and even […]

Three keynote words for women’s fashion this spring are flirty, flowing and feminine.
Colors are brighter, reflecting the true concept of spring and dresses are more prevalent this season, with a real mix of sophistication, a hint of ’80s retro and long-floaty maxis reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s. New York Fashion Week, 5-12 September 2007, […]

There is a certain detail that discloses whether a girl cares about trends, and even if she cares about her hygiene. It’s your nails! You can be an orderly person, but if your nails are not tidy, you will not look neat. Furthermore, if your manicure and pedicure don’t match your style, it can ruin […]

Perfect Eyebrows - Make them exquisite!

Six Steps To Perfect Eyebrows

1. Brush brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair above the top of your natural arch. Be careful not to take off too much at the ends or you’ll have brow “bald” spots.

2. Look closely at the shape. Your brow should begin at your tear duct, peak at the outer edge of your iris and end at the outer corner of your eye. “Many women make the mistake of taking off too much at the outer corners,” says Weston. “This slants the brows upward and makes the person look perpetually angry.”

3. Prep your skin: Soak a cotton ball in astringent and wipe the brow area.

4. Hold a pencil in line with the outer side of your iris and note where the peak of your arch naturally occurs. From the arch to the outer corner of the eye, your brow should fall in a straight or slightly curved line, depending on the look you’re trying to achieve.

5. Hold the tweezers at a 45 degree angle and pluck the stray hairs below the brow line. “Pull in the direction of the hair growth, or you may end up breaking the hair mid-shaft,” says Engle. Follow your natural brow shape, not the trends. “It’s very difficult to let your brows grow back into their natural shape after you’ve plucked them to death trying to achieve a particular look,” she says.

6. Fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil - be a bombshell; use light, quick strokes to draw in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and is great for a more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over brows. If you’re a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in place. Lightly coat brows using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow it to set. Get Glowing!

Tired of pink? How about orange for a little change of pace? This stunning 1950’s beaded evening gown can be found at VFG member Vintage Vixen.

Few dresses can be called cream of the crop, but this one certainly fits the description! It’s elegant and sexy, scoop-necked with a short fringe of bugle beads at the piped edge. The entire dress is hand-beaded with tiny seed beads and pave` bows spaced throughout, making it substantially heavy. There’s a rounded-edge hem with a walking slit in back, and it’s fully lined.

So I found some Converse Shoes which I think are pretty cool. Do you fancy any one of these? Or are there pairs that you specifically like?

My favorite from the bunch is this pair of Kurt Cobain One Star. Way cooler than the rest!

Ahhhhhhh!

That, my friends, is the sound of a certain blogger last night, sitting back, eating junky take-out, and watching “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” (those 2 are so gonna get it on in real life any day now)… just chillin’ after a crazy few days. It’s amazing how much half a bottle of wine can relax a girl…

It felt goooood.

But yes, I’ve been so busy that February’s snuck up on me! All of a sudden, it’s all Valentine’s this and major-freak-snowstorms that (Ontario readers, you know what I’m talkin’ about). Needless to say, I’m not yet in a very Valentine-y mood, and I only have a week to get in gear!

One sure-fire way to get me in the spirit is to break out the Cupid themed items. Give me a plush red sweater and some frilly pink-and-white confection and I’m ready to sling heart-tipped arrows with the best of ‘em.

To appropriately pretty-up your bathroom, you could scatter rose petals in your tub. Me, I prefer a more functional solution (who has time for a bath, anyway?) — check out Herbal Essences’ newest release, Long Term Relationship.

This new combo is meant to protect long hair from breakage and frazzled split ends. The pearly pink shampoo builds a nice creamy lather, while the conditioner (also pink!) is thicker than normal, and coats strands without dripping off like some thinner conditioners can. The warm Red Raspberry scent has a hint of amber or musk… it totally reminds me of a body spray that Victoria’s Secret or Bath and Body Works might have.

My favourite part about this new line though might actually be the packaging! I love how the sleek, crimson, curvy bottles sort of fit together. They’re like a couple of Cupid’s Bows. Or… like… soulmates. (Sigh!) It’s vaguely sexy, and with the words “Long Term Relationship” scrawled right on the bottle, it’s the perfect not-so-subliminal message, which is why I leave it in my boyfriend’s bathroom, along with a bridal magazine flipped open to an ad for a Tiffany’s promise ring, and some card stock samples for potential wedding invitations. (I kid, I kid!)

There’s also a leave-in-conditioner / heat protector in the line, and I’m pleased to report that it smells just like the original Herbal Essences that I used to love. (You know the smell: it was a totally organic experience!) It might be a bit thick for fine hair, but it’s perfect for my heavy, straight hair … a quick pump leaves my hair softer and smelling divine, and provides a welcome barrier against the nasty winter winds we’ve been having.

The best part is that all three combined will set you back less than the cost of a dozen roses, leaving plenty of room in your budget for a nice bottle of Chianti and a romantic movie rental, just in case Freudian packaging isn’t quite enough to put you in the right mood.
