Pick of the Week: Chanel Makeup

colleen — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:47:43 +0000

We all want to be as classy and timeless as Coco Chanel. We imagine her life as effortless but legacy, quality without looking like we’re trying too hard. We find this principleÂ embodied perfectly in the vintage Coco Chanel we find at the local consignment store or in the contemporary Chanel collection.

Now, we can pair our perfect perfume and delightful clothes withÂ the timeless elegance in cosmetics: look for CHANEL new Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour, a throwback in style and lip coloring from the turn of the century. Available in muted brown, red and pink tones with decadent names like rouge orage and byzantin, the new Chanel lip colouring is a top blogger pick for the week due to it’s elegant design and desirable colors.

Check out Chanel Rouge at Smarter.

Preview of Chanel’s Spring Collection

beauty — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:35:23 +0000

We all can admire Coco Chanel: the tweed suits, quilted bags, oversize glasses, and even the movie (not the Lifetime movie…the one that was actually in the theater)! Let’s not forget about Chanel’s cosmetics. Chanel has been known to develop a cosmetics line that accentuates your features with neutral tones. Chanel’s cosmetic lines have always been a quality mineral base of color for our skin. Besides the sleek packaging, this brand has always been a quality product and favorite of makeup professionals. They don’t create an edgy look; rather, these cosmetics create a classic impression. Take a look at Chanel’s new Spring Collection for 2010:

This new 19 pc. collection was created for the Spring 2010 cosmetics line.Â This immaculate collectionÂ should beÂ available now at Nordstrom’s or Sak’s Fifth Ave. With neutrals, pinks, warm browns, and beige, these colors are ever so subtle, and they flatter most skin colors.Â Eye makeup ranges fromÂ brown tones in a quad color palette, to iridescent and soft touch eyeshadows (the difference results in shimmery and matteÂ effects).Â With plums and mauve colors for lips and cheeks. This beautiful neutral ensemble completes the new spring look: bushy eyebrows and lighter hair tones. Face, cheeks eyes, lips, and nails: the new year brings us a newer fresher face. Now get some rest!

My friend sent me this and like everyone else I was skeptical but also like everyone else – I WAS SO WRONG!! I think Susan Boyle is BEAUTIFUL!!! She literally made me cry and reminded me not to be so cynical and judge anyone based on looks…

I just watched it ‘again’ right now and I started to cry – again!!! So sweet.

A good BEAUTY LESSON for us all if I say so myself!

Good luck Susan, I’ll buy your CD and I haven’t bought a CD in years!!

In the World of Beauty this Week

If you’re looking for ways to do your part to help conserve our precious resources (in Los Angeles…water!), want to cut down on the amount of bath products you use, or want smooth hair and skin….LATimes.com recommends the Jonathan Beauty Water shower filter created by the good-looking yet whiny Jonathan Antin from Bravo’s reality show “Blow Out.”

“As you may have heard, California is in the midst of a drought. The Metropolitan Water District, the agency that supplies Southern California with its drinking water, recently said it may have to reduce water deliveries to the Los Angeles area by 15% to 25%. Now while this is disturbing news that threatens the region’s economy and very ecology, more critically, it spells trouble for your coiffure.”Â Â EEEK!

Beauty Blog Review: Spring is Here, But Brazilian Waxes May be Illegal Soon

evette — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:01:00 +0000

Since there is nothing more important happening in the world (note the sarcasm folks) let’s discuss New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology is wondering whether they should make Brazilian waxes illegal? Ummm…WHY? It’s not like Jersey girls don’t already have enough beauty stereotypes to overcome but now they can’t zero their beaver?

Seems unjust if you ask me.Â

Celebrity Hair Spotlight

Kelly Clarkson hairstyles have ranged from small-town-simple to Hollywood glamour since she became Americas sweetheart after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002. She has been spotted sporting some of the trendiest hairstyles, including long voluminous locks reminiscent of fellow American Idol winner Katherine McPhee, the poof/pompadour of 2004 & 2005, and most recently the classic bob of 2007 & 2008. Although she has never been considered a hair-fashion trendsetter, her hairstyles have always been ones to take notice. Kelly has a round/square face so her hairstyles are generally designed with the objective of creating a more oval-shaped face. If you have a wide/round/square face shape, then these Kelly Clarkson hairstyles are sure to suit you well….Â

I actually think that Tori Spelling looks better all thin and what not. Let’s face facts her face is never going to be “beautiful” even with all the money and plastic surgery she still looks like a female version of her dad …soo….

Being thin suits her.

I’m just sayin….
