Vivienne Tam Goes "Twiggy"

Hello Divas!

I am back in the ATL, but I still have lots to report from Mercedez-Benz New York Fashion Week.

One of the hottest looks was the make-up from the Vivienne Tam Show. The look was very reminiscent of the 1960s! Think Twiggy all the way! Gina Brooke, Artistic Director for Shu Uemura and world renowned creative makeup genius, drew inspiration from nature, feathers, and freedom! I hate to gush, but Gina is a baaaaadd Diva! She created the lashes for the show! Did you know that she also created custom diamond lashes for Madonna's Confessions Tour? The lashes for the Vivienne Tam Show are called Farfarling and she applied them to the top and bottom lashes. She then applied a little bit of blush and lipstick and that is it! There is really no need for anything else because the lashes are the stars of the show! Check them out!

Here is Gina putting the finishes touches on a model.


I am telling you Divas, those lashes were absolutely Amazing! Gina has true talent!

Stay tuned for more posts on my experience at New York Fashion Week!

Napoleon Perdis Long Black Mascara: My Review

Hello Divas!

I am ready for the weekend how about you? Of course I have another Napoleon Perdis product review considering the awesome sale Sephora is currently having on all Napoleon Perdis products. Read about the sale here. I have been using Napoleon Perdis's Long Black Mascara and I like it. I am not in love with it, but it is pretty good. The best thing about this Mascara is that it has a naturally bent wand that is like a built in lash curler. I do not have to curl my lashes at all. This wand definitely does the trick! Also this wand is very effective in reaching those little tiny hard to reach lashes. It is a pretty decent lengthening Mascara. After applying two coats my lashes were definitely nice and long. It also thickens pretty well too. It is not the best separating Mascara, but for long thick lashes it is perfect. It has an anti-irritant in the formula for sensitive eyes, which I really like. It also contains allantoin, candellila wax, beeswax and collagen, so it conditions your lashes very nicely. This Mascara regularly retails for $22, but due to the Sephora sale, you can purchase it online here for only....$5.50! Hurry up ladies, the sale lasts until all Napoleon Perdis products are gone gone gone!

Toodles!

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week! Maybelline's Full N' Soft

Hello Divas!

I hope this week is a good one! My Hot Drugstore Find of the Week is Maybelline's Full N' Soft Mascara. While visiting several beauty forums, I kept reading rave reviews about Maybelline's Full N' Soft. Fellow beauty junkies claim it is a great thickening Mascara that also lenghtens your lashes and keeps them nice and soft. So, considering my absolute obsession with Mascara, you know I had to try it! Well ladies it definitely lives up to the hype! The brush is medium to big (not big as DiorShow which I will review later), and I love that when you pull the brush out of the tube, any excess Mascara is instantly wiped off the brush. So no clumps! I apply 2 coats and my lashes are thick, full, and long. I really really like this Mascara! And true to its name, your lashes feel soft and feathery, not hard. Plus you can't beat the price. This Mascara retails for $7. You can purchase it online here, or at your fav drugstore.

Toodles!
