Bronze makes holiday look even better!

We loved our signature White nails for Summer and Grey is definitely the choice for Fall but with the holidays right around the corner our fingers are screaming for something with a little bit of pizazz and a lot of glitz and glamour…all we can do is decorate them with the perfect metallic for 2009…Bronze! We are loving everything from glowing rust to chocolatey shimmer, especially our fave for the season, China Glaze’s perfect mix, Platinum Gold!

Perfect tresses require perfect product…Tres Two Spray is it!

It takes a pretty fabulous product for us to center a post around it but we feel really good about this one…TRESemme Tres Two Hairspray is simply wonderful. Lately we’ve been big in to the bohemian hair, the messy loose waves that scream sexy without trying…but it takes a good hairspray, one that holds but leaves your hair soft instead of stiff, to get that perfect look. This one is definitely the one. And the best part is you can get it at any drug store for about five bucks. Trust us, try it for yourself…Tresemme.com for retailers.

There was a time in everyone’s lives when leaving the house without makeup was simply out of the question.  As we age we realize how unimportant it really is and simplify down to the essentials…ours is and has always been…mascara!  Finding the perfect one however is often difficult so we thought we would help a bit:

1)  The all around winner:

Two-Timer by theBalm – between the Lashalot and the Finetune options, this single, perfect little mascara, takes care of everything.  You can easily choose your look with this one and get exactly what you were going for every time, it’s failproof!

2)  The best for thickening thin lashes:

Le 2 de Guerlain Mascara by Guerlain – the two different fine tooth brushed will be sure to grab even the tiniest and finest of lashed to fill in a lighter lash line.

3)  The create night time drama lashes:

DiorShow by Dior – darker than dark and fuller than full, this is by far the best for that dramatic evening look that stays strong through the wee hours.

4)  The every day all day:

Mascara Basic by Shu Uemura – perfect for a quick brush on to feel like you’re wearing nothing and look like you have that fabulous naturally dark lash, never clumps even when you pile it on and wears light as a feather all day long.

5)  The long as extensions lashes:

Luxurious by Yves Saint Laurent – somehow this mascara elongates your lashes to create nearly the same effect as false lashes or even extensions and even with the crazy thick addition, this is one waterproof claim that actually ensures no black eyes, ever!
