Tip: How to wear jeans with booties this winter. If you are wearing slim bottoms, skinny and leggings jeans then it’s better to team them with ankle boots. Just slip tight-fitting bottoms into the top of ankle boots. Booties with skinny jeans look chic. You can also fold or roll your jeans to skim the top of your ankle boot/bootie or fold them higher with a sneak peek of your bare calf showing or your socks peeking out on top of your bootie

How to wear tights/leggings with booties this winter? Wear them with a sweater dress, a long shirt or a mini skirt.

Winter season offers lots of opportunities to experiment with your outfits; there are many fashion trends to explore and adapt to your own taste and style.

Get the Look: Reese Witherspoo​n at Wild Premiere

See how you can get the hairstyle that celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel created for Reese Witherspoon at the Wild premiere in Los Angeles.

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon

THE LOOK: Modern yet classic – accented with a 60’s inspired heavy side swept bangs and a simple chic bun

THE BREAKDOWN:

·To begin, Abergel created a very deep side part on towel dried hair and applied John Frieda Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir to create beautiful shine and pliability.

·Next, he applied John Frieda Luxurious Volume Root Booster Blow Dry Lotion from the roots through mid shaft to create volume.

·Then, he blow dried the hair smooth with a round brush creating side swept bangs for a 60’s feel.

·Once the hair was dry, he took a fine tooth comb and teased the crown making sure to smooth it with a paddle brush. Once the shape was achieved, he locked it in by spraying John Frieda Luxurious Volume All-Day Hold Hairspray.

·He tamed any fly aways by rubbing a dime size amount of John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème and running it through the hair.

·Abergel then pulled the hair into a low ponytail staying about 4” above the nape of the neck and secured it with an elastic. He then twisted the hair into an “S” shape knot and pinned it in place.

· To finish, he sprayed John Frieda Luxurious Volume All-Day Hold Hairspray to set the look.

Add some WINTER to your day

Just in time for the holidays, a fragrance that will make you smell and feel just like your walking in a winter wonderland. Daesein’s WINTER fragrance is a sensual blend of blue spruce, forest pine, black cardamom and French lavender. It is free of toxins, vegan, cruelty-free, and fee of parabens. Even for us sensitive skinned people we can enjoy the satisfying aroma with no harsh chemicals. Now you can really give the gift of Christmas when you give them WINTER.

WINTER is a fragrance that when I sprayed it on, I said “that’s me”. It reminded me of Winter’s in Ohio. Snow on the ground, deer running through the yard and the smell of a freshly cut pine tree in my living room. Now that I live in Florida I still like to remember Christmas in Ohio (minus the cold) and WINTER does just that. WINTER lasted me from morning to night with touchups in between. I find that to be the worst when it comes to fragrance when you have to reapply. Even my mom, who is the toughest critic when it comes to anything with a smell. She likes that WINTER is not strong, is very sensual and smells just like walking outside.

Now I’m just speaking from a woman’s point of view but WINTER is not only great for women but men as well. After launching in 2013, WINTER has flown off the shelves in stores such as American Rag, Larchmont Beauty and many more! So if your in need of a great stocking stuffer or Christmas gift exchange check out WINTER Unisex Fragrance at www.daseinfragrance.com and also check them out for fragrances that will bring every season to life by simply spraying a bottle. Launching in 2015!

Gift Idea: Vintage Black Glamour

I have a lot of friends who are pretty tough when it comes to buying gifts.  So, I’m always looking for  something unique.  This morning I found a really interesting BBC video clip spotlighting a new book called Vintage Black Glamour that looks fabulous!

VGB

The author, Nichelle Gainer, started a Tumblr page on the topic after discovering that black actors, entertainers, models, etc. were greatly underrepresented in most depictions of Hollywood’s golden age of glamour. The resulting recently published coffee table book not only contains those photographs but also biographies of some of the men and women who paved the way for current-day celebrities.

I can think of at least three friends who’ll be getting this for Christmas!  Take a look…Maybe you know someone who would love it too:)

Makeup Show Recap

If there is one place I love better than Studio 10, its getting to cover the Makeup Show Orlando. Held in the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency, The Makeup Show Orlando offers everything from education, and info on the latest and greatest makeup/skincare products on the market. Definitely a show for the beauty “hoarder” and makeup fanatic (which is me lol)and for those who want to enhance their makeup skills thanks to the awesome classes and education while there.

Cosmix

Cosmix

While I was at the show I ran into some familiar faces such as well known makeup artists Tia Dantzler, James Vincent and Vivian Infantino. Not only that but I met many new people as well and discovered some new and fascinating products such as The Beauty Butler, Tanique, Facial Smoothies, Shea Moisture, Tat2U Cosmetics, Cara Cosmetics and so many more but there will definitely be a blog on each and every one. Also, as a member of the press I was gifted a press bag full of many more samples that I cannot wait to try out.

Cara Cosmetics

Cara Cosmetics

Not only was it the makeup that fascinated me it was the work I saw by some amazing artists. Every year the Cosmix Makeup School’s booth showcases the work of some incredible artists that are literally out of this world and even The Makeup Show holds contests on what is called fantasy makeup. I saw everything from underwater theme, to outer space. Unfortunately I could not take many pictures due to the battery on my phone dying :(.

I am anxious and excited to get started on blogging/vlogging about the awesome products I received to try. Stay tuned for more!!!
