Madonna Wow's in Givenchy Couture

At 53, I hope we can all do cart-wheels and fist pumps in Givenchy couture. Actually, I wish most of us could do that now but the fact is, we cant… But Madonna did! From the moment the camera focused on Madonna and that stunning headpiece by Philip Treacy, I knew the audience would be in for a visually exciting performance.

BERRY BEAUTIFUL

As my 6 closest girlfriends and I convened in the living room for one last “Girl, how do I look?” session, before a night on the town in DC, I couldn’t help but notice a small, yet significant, similarity between us. Either we all used the same tube of lipstick, or we all have identical taste in make-up. So, I did a little research and there’s definitely a lipstick trend unfolding in 2012 for that “luscious plum lip look” (try saying that 3 times!) From Rihanna to Solange and across to Lady GaGa and model Chanel Iman, many of our favorite kissable cuties are putting the spark back into the darker lipstick shades.

Kim Kardashian's New Color

Stylelist posted this image of everyone’s favorite reality star, Kim Kardashian, somewhat-new look.

How much of a change is it? Do you think Kim should stick with her signature style or go bolder?

Kelly Rowlands Curls

Kelly Rowland always looks great and has sported many looks from long to short and bangs to center part but I must say my favorite texture on her is the curly. Kelly rocked her hair straight with bangs for most of 2011 so it’s very refreshing to see the Curly look that blends effortlessly with her natural texture and from her smile in the pictures above I think she’s really feeling it too. Achieve Kelly Rowland curly tresses with Indique Bounce Coil Curl in 10” and 14”.

The Bigger the Better…

Get Lush Gams from LUSH Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

With winter in full swing it’s time to pay great attention to moisturizing everything from head to toe.  LUSH makes this task ever so easy with Ro’s Argan Body conditioner.  The rose scented cream which contains cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, almond oil and Argan oils instantly hydrates your skin giving your body amazing glow and shine.  So break out your favorite mini dress and expose your legs with confidence this winter season.  For extra wow factor break it out for a nice massage on Valentine’s day with someone special.

The Matte Finish

This season it seems that “glossy” isn’t the only way to be “glam!” A lot of fashonistas are straying away from the usual shine and taking on a Matte look! While Matte lips are most common, a lot of women are venturing into wearing Matte nail color.

Want to try the matte look? Follow these steps below:

1 Exfoliate your lips. Exfoliation of the lips gets rid of any dead peeling skin and leaves the lips soft and smooth. 

2. Moisturize your lips.  After exfoliation, put on a lip balm that will not dry your lips out. A light lotion may also work. (No vaseline or carmax!)

3. Prime your Lips. Take a lip pencil and outline your lips. Some people choose to color in their entire lip to achieve the Matte look. If that’s your preference, then, YOU’RE DONE!

4. Fill in your lips with your lip color. Use the same color lipstick as your lip pencil and apply to your lips entirely. Rubbing your lips together won’t help with smearing the lipstick; its up to you to make sure your entire lip is covered.

5. BE FAB!!

P.S – MARS, MAC Cosmetics and NYX HAVE GREAT MATTE LIP COLORS!

Beauty Artist Mario Dedivanovic also gives great tips on achieving the matte look!
