Best Eye Liners

The look I’m loving right now is a soft shimmery beige color from the lash line to the crease with dark black liner. The black liner of champions has always been Estee Lauder Eye Pencil in SoftSmudge Black. I linked to this little gem I found on Amazon which has the deluxe sample size (the one from the gift with purchases) for only $4 (it retails for $17)- it&… Read More…

Among the good finds are; a full sized lavender lotion for $1, an almond and oatmeal bar soap set for $1.79, and the Shea Butter Gift Set (pictured) for only $12.

Other than the price, the clean, classic packaging is a huge bonus for gift giving.

Fashion Week Fall 2011: Backstage With Wella at Peter Som

Posted on February 18, 2011

Wella called the hair they created for Peter Som’s runway show ‘quirky housewife,’ an undone pouf with an edge to it that’s a little (dare I say?) Snooki inspired.. With makeup a little on the understated side, the hair partnered with the clothing for a bold, youthful statement that was fun and eye-catching.

There’s something about this hair that I really like, I think it’s the shape.

Notice how harsh the makeup looks on her cheeks, almost silver.

Under the lights the silver makeup looks like a luminous metallic, much less severe than it did before, and the different hair lenghts mirror the layered effect of the piece. It all comes together!

What Was Used:

- Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz

- Wella Professionals Dynamic Fix 45 Second Crafting Spray
