So going off of the little that I know about most of you via our interaction on the beauty chat I thought I’d use this seasons color palette to inspire you to create a signature look for Fall 2011.

I’m going to start with Bren (the fragrance guru):

My color choice for you is Bamboo. Since you are my reluctant beauty butterfly I’m gonna keep the look very soft and simple for you, but still pull you out of your comfort zone. I’d like to see you add mascara (clear would be fine if you can’t pull yourself into wearing black just yet ;D ) to your lashes to open them up a bit and separate your lashes. I’d also like to see you wear a chocolate lip liner and a lipstick that has a bronzy/golden tone to it. It doesn’t have to be as bright as the image shone, but it should have a little color to it and you can soften the look with your chocolate lip liner or a chocolate lipstick.  You tend to be comfortable in your traditional dark berry toned lipsticks and I’d like to see you move outside of that box a little.

Next up is Kenihen (the fashion & accessories connoirsseur ):

My color choice for you is Honeysuckle. I know you think this will be super easy for you because you love a bright pink lip; however, I’m gonna challenge you to do the exact opposite of what you would normally do on your face which is a soft earth toned eye and a bold pink lip. SWAP IT! I want to see you create a nude muted lip and pair it with a bright bold pink and chocolate eye! Add lot’s of mascara and liner and let’s see how it turns out!

Moving right along to Danny & Tammy (both attending M.A.A. classes …makeup addicts anonymous):

Since the two of you are my fearless beauty butterflies I’ve got a full face challenge for you! My color choices for the two of you are Emberglow & Nougat.

Dana you’ve got Emberglow. I’d like to see you create a look by using the inspirational fashionista on your left as a guide. I’d like to see you with popping bold, golden, bronzy, chocolatey eyes and a deep, rich, berry lip lined in a currant color or something similar.

Tam you’ve got Nougat. I’ve seen you create amazing looks with color and that seems to be a favorite and a fun place for you, but I’d like to see you also create a look using the fashion maven on the left. Tam I’d like to see you create beautiful smokey eyes using deep chocolates, browns, and taupes. A soft bronzy cheek, and a nude muted lip.

Next we’ll have Meka (the new mommy):

My color choice for you is Coffee Liqueur.  Being a new mommy you really don’t have too much time for anything else so Meka I’d like to see you apply a soft brown shadow to your eyes, with a touch of highlight underneath the brown bone, black liner and lots of mascara. Add a soft lip liner and some lip gloss to pull the look together.

Now we’ll inspire Simelia (the dancing diva):

My color choice for you is Deep Teal. One of the hottest colors this Fall happens to be my favorite color blue. So Simelia I’d like to see you create a fierce eye using a beautiful deep shade of teal or navy blue. Think outside of the box and create something you’ve never worn before.

Finally we’ll have Michelle (the songbird):

My color choice for you is Phlox. I remember when you sent us a pic of your new nail polish color which was a beautiful slate grey (perfect for Fall), and I thought what pairs better with grey than a rich, beautiful, shade of purple! So I’d like to see you also be creative and think outside of the box and create a look with purple and pair it with silver or grey.

I want you all to have fun and think outside of the box. Mix and match shades and tones and just have a blast. Think of your personal sense of beauty and style while you are creating your signature look and don’t forget to upload pics into the beauty chat so that we all can see.  Oh and if you have any specific looks that you all want me to create or try then holler cause you know i’m down!

I originally got hooked with my first glam piece which were a purple double hoop earring. I fell head over heels with these earrings when I first received them, and I’m always a total showstopper whenever I wear them out. !

 Then i saw another unique pair of earrings on their site, and I couldn’t help but to indulge thinking “Hey I’m well worth it”, and justifying my addiction with the insanely affordable prices that they offer.

*ATTENTION* CALLING ALL NEW MOMS!!!  YOUR TROUBLES ARE OVER!

Nothing in life is harder than trying to loose a post pregnancy belly (except delivering the baby of course). The team over at Belly Bandit have made this task a whole lot easier for us, and Kourtney Kardashian recommended that we look chic while doing it.

The B.B. has been worn by a host of celebrity moms like Halle Berry, Gwen Stefani, and Angelina Jolie; however, Kourtney needed one that truly reflected her fashion sense and style.

Now, The Limited Edition Kourtney Kardashian Belly Bandit  is available for all of us to enjoy, and being a new mom myself i’m especially glad about it!

                                                                   Would you wear flourescent lipstick? Well the bold look of the 90′s is back! Neon lips are all the rave for this years Spring/Summer season.  The bright lip was spotted on the runways during this years fashion week and we are all going WILD with the color choices.

The most popular of the  flourescent shades are in the orange and pink families, and require a super confident fashionista to pull off the bold look.

MAC offers two great colors for those who dare to take the plunge and rock a fierce bold lip. The first is Neon Orange and the second is Candy Yum Yum.

So remember as you are stockpiling your makeup bag for Summer make sure that you’ve got a few shades of flourescent lip color, and a extra dose of confidence to pull it the look altogether!
