In terms of foundation and powder, that is obviously a no-brainer - it should closely match your skin tone as much as possible - so close that it literally looks like it disappears into your ...

Smile Like a Celebrity!

by Olga Moore , Leave Response

A smile is something that always makes us, Ladies, prettier. Either it's a friendly smile or a sexy smile, it's much more attractive if your teeth are white and healthy. But such things as coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, sodas every day effect the color of our teeth making them yellowish, grey and quite unattractive. Let alone the fact that you can no longer wear some lipcolors as red and pink for they make the color of your teeth pop! So, what should we do if our teeth do not allow us to have that great sexy smile we want?

Last week my friend gave me a small votive candle from Slatkin and Co. in Coconut Rice. I've been burning it practically every night since then and I still have 1/4 of the candle left. Burning this candle peaked my curiosity for the rest of the Slatkin and Co. line considering how it burned so evenly and the yummy scent filled my living room. Luckily, I didn't have to go very far, Slatkin and Co. just released their spring ...

What kind of blonde should I be?

by Hillary Johnson , 3 Responses

So, I've already pulled the trigger, and one of these is the actual color at the moment, but I 'm less than thrilled, and want to tweak it. Vote below for which of these looks you think the least un-flattering, and tell me why in the comments (or suggest an alternative).

Aside: I briefly toyed with the idea of a nice hunter green--I thought a composed, classic cut juxtaposed with a wild color would be super--but have been largely ...

Play the Perfumer

by Carla , 1 Response

My friend knows that I love Creative Scentualization's Perfect Veil perfume so she gave me a few perfumes she'd thought I'd like. What she gave me was actually a few notes from their Perfumers Palette series of perfumes, Soft Musk and Clean Musk.

Creative Scentualization's Perfumers Palette is a series of perfumes you can mix and match to create your own custom scent. When I was younger, I use to visit Garden Botanika and make a custom ...
