Thanks to everyone for entering!

Hey there!  Long time, no speak!  I’m so sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been away for a few days and have been swamped at work.  I need a better way to manage it all.  Anyway, to start off the week, I’ve got a giveaway you’re gonna love…

I’m sure you’ve heard about the latest craze with argan oil and it’s many benefits.  It’s an oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree in Morocco and is rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E.  MOROCCANOIL® is a line that carries several products with 100% Argan Oil.  The line includes a shampoo, conditioner, hair masks, glimmer spray and the best selling oil treatment.

I’ve been using the oil treatment for a few months now and love it.  I’ve used it as a leave in treatment after washing to keep hair soft and frizz free while drying and used it after styling to add luster and shine to my hair.  Recently, I’ve learned that some are using it as a pre-shampoo treatment by applying to scalp and hair for 30 minutes, then washing.  You know I love a multi-tasking product!  And did I mention the scent, ohhhh lalala, it smells heavenly.

Wanna try it?  I am giving away a bottle of the oil treatment. To enter, simply leave a comment below by 11:59pm Sunday. Winner will be announced Monday morning.

***Open to U.S. residents only***

Good Luck!

Check out Solange’s manicure she rocked at a recent Photoshoot.  I love it!

In a recent interview, Solange was asked about the wildest nail art she’s tried:

I went through a phase about two years ago where I had an extreme nail art addiction. I had British flag nails, ice cream cones, gold spikes…the whole nine yards. I still rock my nail art but with a little bit more simplicity now.

In Uncategorized on June 15, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Phillips shares with us how he created Catherine’s smokey pastel look for the 2010 Tony Awards. 
For a smoky eye effect, Mary applied Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Black Currant and Color Intrigue Eyeshadow Duo in Peacock from lid to brow to give the eye that extra pop.

To create a pink glow, Mary applied Ceramide Cream Blush in Pink on the apples of Catherine’s cheeks. She then applied Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick in Perfect Blossom for soft, natural lips. To finish the look Mary coated the lashes with Double Density Maximum Volume Mascara in Black for a dramatic touch.

Luxe For Less: Minx Nails…

In luxe for less, nails on June 10, 2010 at 2:54 pm

Not only did Katy Perry (her nails on the left) kiss a girl and liked it, she tried Minx nails and liked that too. From Katie to Beyonce to Victoria Beckam and so on, Minx nails are all the rage in Hollywood. Heat activated stickers come in several patterns for a fabulous mani/pedi that last anywhere from four – ten days.

Minx nails are professionally done and can run you a lot more than a regular mani/pedi. But don’t fret. The people over at Minx have teamed up with Sephora and OPI to bring you Chic Prints. All you have to do is warm up the sheets with your hands, peel, apply to nails and file off excess. The Chic Prints comes in 8 patterns, including anchor, stars, checkers, tiger, fishnet, chrome lace, black & gold geometric and skulls.  The only downside is that they only last about two days. So they’re great for a crazy weekend out clubbing or that pop you need for that simple and plain outfit.

Available at Sephora for $15.
