Going Tubing… »

If you like your lashes on the natural side, not like you’re dressing for a night at a tranny club, then Tube Your Lashes is your best bet. This cool new mascara coats each lash with little mini tubes. I applied this while looking in one of those magnifying mirrors which leaves you plotting a trip to the surgeon’s for botox shots, and I could see the mascara kind of shrink-wrapped each lash which was interesting. The formula is non-drying and it seems gentle and non-irritating. Its very light in consistency and odor free.

I love this for a daytime look, when you want to slightly pump up the volume but not go all out for full face makeup. The lashes are coated with color but it’s a natural, fluttery look. When it’s time to remove the mascara, you don’t need a cotton ball full of eye makeup remover. Simply use a little warm water and a soft washcloth, gentle pressure and those tubes come sliding off. You aren’t left with mascara residue under each eye which is nice because who wants to look like they have bruised eyes?

For those of you who get emotional frequently, have no worries- this mascara is waterproof and will not smear or smudge when you cry. It won’t flake or irritate your delicate eyes.
TubeYourLash mascara was in the Celebrity Swag Bags at the Entertainment Weekly Magazine’s Oscar Party.

I’m wearing TubeYourLash right now I really dig it for my daytime, casual, totally kickback relaxed look. The website is super user friendly, check it out here.

Paris Fashion Week F/W08 Wrapup I »

This is why Paris Fashion Week is THE fashion week I look foward to the most. I mean, if I’m not going to be able to afford anything on the runway, I might as well ogle at the most creative and gorgeous collections, starting with Balenciaga.
Genius. Seriously genius. Once again, Nicholas Ghesquiere used Balenciaga’s history and created a very modern collection. The clothes all look very structured yet still so sensual.
The show started off with minimal, well-cut and structured evening dresses. Take note of the shoes: pointy shoes are back! Is the trend with round-toed shoes soon to be over?
These are the more work-suit looks. I hope those tulip skirts become part of the mainstream trends, (and hopefully high street retailers will be ‘inspired’ to make affordable versions!)
Metallic, shiny dresses are nothing new. But the shapes of these dresses are amazing.
The velvet top with skinny pants/ skirt combo seemed to be a huge favourite. I love how pretty the colourful tops are. And the black & white velvet top look is just amazing with the black eye makeup! Seriously loves it!
The show closed with printed coats and dresses. While I can appreciate how these artistic pieces form part of the collection, I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the coats. For example, the coat on the left makes the model look like she’s got a muscular costume on.
Can’t wait for more Paris fashion! Did you love the Balenciaga show too?

Psychotherapy and Counseling in Drug Treatment Therapy »

Drug rehabilitation occurs in a multitude of forms. It may be provided in outpatient or inpatient settings, be publicly or privately funded, and may or may not involve the administration of medication. The differences among the philosophies of, and the services provided in, various drug abuse treatment programs may be enormous. What is remarkable is that some form of drug abuse counseling or psychotherapy is almost invariably a part of every type of comprehensive drug abuse…

Fix the Problem of Alcohol Abuse »

Have you ever known anyone that you felt drank just a little too much and a little too often? Maybe that person is a good friend of yours, maybe it’s your father or maybe it’s you. Whatever the case, alcoholism doesn’t just affect the person doing the drinking, it affects all involved. Alcoholism is a silent killer; it’s not well known like many other diseases and it’s often left untreated until its victim dies from cirrhosis of the liver. There are millions of people across the world that…

Fashion Review: Not Everyone Spins Their Wheels »

There has been a chain reaction in the fashion world, a move toward safe dressing, and it has finally reached Dior, a house that under the showmanship of John Galliano usually sparks change.
But Monday’s Dior show represented a kind of defeat of his way of doing things. The clothes were respectable, ladylike, seemingly culled from […]
