{LORAC Hot & Spicy}
I absolutely love bronzer and peach looks best against my olive complexion. So LORAC Hot & Spicy which is a peach shimmer and a light bronze shimmer is my absolute favorite blush and bronzer. 
I am sure many of you can relate to the fact that winter takes a toll on the nails. Personally mine become very brittle. Perfect Formula\’s Daily Moisture is the only thing that is keeping my nails strong and healthy.

This is a serum that helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and improve texture. Anything to keep my face looking fabulous I am all about, and this is my new favorite product. I have seen a lot of improvement in my skin.

I am not big on lipsticks, but sometimes lip gloss just makes me feel kiddish. h.wood beauty definitely understands this and that is just one reason why I am loving their products. I am currently loving the Lip Shine Stick in Poppy. It comes in a lipstick tube however it is almost like a lip gloss just giving you a beauty shine. LOVE IT!
I am a long time lipstain lover, and a long time hourglass cosmetics lover so when i saw that they had a cheek stain I knew I had to give it a try. Basically it was the greatest thing to ever happen to my cheeks!

What products are you currently loving?

Mascara lovers I have just discovered a product that you are going to wonder how you ever lived with out it.

The Lash Card, is a disposable \”card\”that has two curves which have been specifically designed to fit a variety of eye shapes.

So What\’s the point of the Lash Card? You hold it against your lashes while you brush your mascara through to curl and separate them. This trick has been used forever, however usually its with a business card…. which most likely has bacteria and other unpleasant things on it, and do you really want that on your eyes? These are for one time use, so no worries there just flawless perfect lashes.

 
 (the above pictures are not me they are off the Lash Card website)

You can get your very own Lash Card pack here for $5.99. Each Lash Card pack contains 10 cards.
Buy one for you, your best friend, your mum…seriously buy one for everyone you will be in love!!!

    From the company that brought revolutionary nail textures such as suede, matte and Black Shatter OPI has come out with a new special finish which has a semi-transparent sorbet style. This revolutionary Sorbet Style is featured first in the Texas Collection by OPI which is their Spring/Summer 2011 line. The colors are the perfect lacquers to give fingers and toes a lightly glossed appearance.
    The Sorbet lacquers were hard to take a picture of because of their glossed appearance. Below you\’ll find a color wheel that features all of the sorbet shades. This is exactly how they appear. So when picking out a color go by my wheel more than my nail swatches.

    Got a secret can you keep it? The Official Pretty Little Liars Bracelet

    Posted on February 21, 2011 by

    As you may know I am completely hooked on ABC Family\’s show Pretty Little Liars.  If you have never seen Pretty Little Liars before it has a mystery aspect to it more intense than Desperate Housewives and the drama and fashion of our beloved show Gossip Girl.


    Pretty Little Liars was is originally a book that was made into a tv series.  and it revolves around five best friends…. Alison, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer. The main story behind PLL is during a sleepover in the woods, the groups queen Alison mysteriously disappears, and her body isn\’t discovered until a year later. Around the time of the discovery the remaining girls begin to receive mysterious messages from \”A\” and the messages contain secrets that Alison would know or ones as if someone is always with the girls.


    So let\’s talk about the main reason you\’re reading this post and that is

    the Purple Friendship Bracelet that each girl wears. 



    Each PLL bracelet is hand woven with special beading thread and needle, and takes over a THOUSAND (1,000) tiny little Japanese beads. Alison\’s work is tedious and precise she is definitely a perfectionist and each bracelet takes her OVER four hours to create.
     
     Alison doesn\’t just create the bracelets for PLL fans in the Us and Canada but girls all over the world buy the bracelet from her. Alison also told me that she gets anywhere from 1 to 15 bracelets ordered by one person. The bracelets are a symbol of the closeness of girlfriends.


    What\’s the most popular color? Of course the Pretty Little Liars Purple and the second most popular is hot pink.  However you can get the bracelets in any color, name/wording you\’d like.


     While time-wise the bracelets are definitely worth more than Alison charges, she keeps them affordable so she can cater to the younger crowd as well.
    You can order your very own Pretty Little Liars bracelet here

    I may be 24, but I love Pretty Little Liars and had to get a bracelet of my own. Alison\’s beading is absolutely flawless. Bracelets take between 4 -10 weeks to be created… but they are definitely worth the wait. Here is mine.

     
    xo  Go out and order your PLL bracelet!
    PS you won\’t find these bracelet\’s anywhere but from Alison as she is the ONLY person licensed to create the PLL bracelets!
