    WhatsWear Trend Alert: Simple Makeup

    image
    Ida Hsiang on Nov 3, 2009 5:30 AM PST
    Today, it is all about going au natural. Gone are the days of heavily done eyes and foundation. Makeup is no longer meant to cover skin, but complement it. Less is more and subtle is the way to go for spring/summer 2010. Instead of dramatic eyes, opt for just mascara and a highlighter in the corners of your eyes for a light and refreshed look. Swap out your foundation for a light bronzer. Heavy makeup will never stand up to the heat. A notable example of trend could be seen on the Miu Miu runway at Paris Fashion week. Models were done up in natural makeup, leaving little to the imagination. They even skipped the bronzer!

    It might be a little early to start shopping for Christmas gifts (unless you're an overachiever... or just really smart and on top of things), but just in case you want to cross me off your list ahead of time, here's what you can get me! Think of the Sephora Blockbuster Palette as the ultimate fix for makeup addicts. Like a shiny new espresso machine for caffeine junkies, or Willy Wonka's chocolate river to an insatiable chocoholic, this thing is the mother lode of cosmetics combo sets. With more than 84 eyeshadows, 60 lip glosses, and a ridiculously impressive array of blushes, eyeliners, and all the necessary applicators, you'll be more than set to achieve the alleged 60,000 different looks possible. And the added bonus? Everything folds and packs neatly into its compact mirrored case. Cue the "hallelujah" chorus!


    Price: $48

    It's always hard to dump someone. There are hurt feelings and harsh words, maybe a few tears, definitely some cocktails and desserts smothered in chocolate, caramel, and Oreo cookie crumbles. Well, get out the Edy's, Sephora. Everyone knows that Sephora and I (and Sephora.com) have been going steady since I was 15, but we're currently on the rocks. There's a new makeup store in my life, and its name is BeautyTicket.com. Yup, although Sephora was the love of my life, I just can't control my feelings for this much better beauty stop that recently rocked my world. But it wasn't just a one night fling; this is serious. I'm falling in love. This amazing website carries super great brands like YSL, Smashbox, Stila, Tarte, Urban Decay, and Pop, for up to 85% off. Wow. I'll give you a minute to think about how freakin' amazing that is. I'm talkin' Smashbox wooden 4-shadow/blush palette, originally $45, now $19.00.

    Hot In The Hive: Spooky Nail Appliques By Dashing Diva

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Oct 8, 2009 6:37 AM PDT
    When I was younger (too young to start destroying my stubby natural nails by getting routine acrylic manicures), I used to look forward to Halloween as a chance to break out the press-on nails and have glamorous (if not slightly terrifying) talons for a night. And now that I'm old enough to have long outgrown the bad habit of chomping on my tips, I have to say a part of me still loves the excuse to splurge on a full set at the salon, or even some nail art airbrushing if I'm feeling super "adventurous." But let's face it -- times are tough, and there are cheaper (and less messy) options out there other than hitting up the manicurist or trying your hand at those Nail Art pens this Halloween. Dashing Diva Design Nails come with a multi-sized set of press-on nails with festive designs like skulls and diamonds or a black French manicure. They're nice and thin, so they'll feel and look much more natural than the plasticky cheap-o ones at the drugstore, and they'll be less likely to pop off when you stick your hand in the candy bowl. Eek!

    Turmeric Steps Out Of The Kitchen And Into Your Beauty Kit!

    Turmeric has jumped from the kitchen spice rack and onto the bathroom shelf! With its peppery flavor and spicy aroma, what place does it have in your skin creams and cleansers? Aside from its traditional culinary uses, the medical and cosmetic benefits of Turmeric date back to ancient times. It has the powerful ability to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, get rid of blemishes, and also help protect skin from free radicals and toxins. It's often used as a skin softener in Asia, mixed into a paste with milk cream, sandalwood powder and Rosewater and applied to the body. But forget mixing a home paste! Turmeric is now available in a large variety of new face and body products. Use a skin-brightening polish to take your skin from dull to radiant, or an Indonesian face mask to even out skin tone and draw out impurities. For cleansers to detox supplements and all beauty products in between - check out the slideshow for some Turmeric-based products!
