Get the look! Jennifer Hudson

Hello,

The ravishing makeup look on Jennifer Hudson at the AMA's 2013 was inspired by Marc Jacob's Spring 2014  runway! So here is the break down of how to achieve it for yourself.

 Get this look:
1. For the matte finish get Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation or after applying your own foundation remember to dab with anti-shine translucent powder.

2. Start with a gold shade which closet matches your eye skin color and apply all over eye. Maybelline's  Color Tattoo in 25 Bad to the Bronze will serve the purpose.

3. Grab a Bourjois Waterproof Clubbing eye crayon in Bleu Neon to get that statement making liner on Hudson!

4.Line your waterline with a black or dark brown pencil and take the Neon Blue color and put it very closely to the waterline (just underneath) and bring it towards the tear duct.

5. Hudson's blush is very very subtle just dab a peachy pink shade lightly on your apples of the cheek and pull it upwards.

6. The baby pink/powder pink lips can be achieved by adding Rimmel Kate Moss matte lipstick in 101 soft pink/NYX matte lipstick pale pink and add a lip balm on top to keep it hydrated.

Best look from American Music Awards 2013

Hello,

Here is my favorite beauty pick from the American Music Awards 2013 and needless to say the outfit looks great as well!

                                   Christina Aguilera
She not only got her body back (from last year where she was way heavier), Aguilera looked marvelous with the white Maria Lucia Hohan dress and  key statement pieces.

Christina Aguliera sported old Hollywood glamour look which reminded me of modern day Marilyn Manroe!

1.L'Oreal Color Riche lipstick in no.410
2. Sweep The Body Shop's eye shadow in Honeycomb (available in a shimmer cubes quad) over the lids, which really makes Aguilera's blue eyes pop!
3. Ardell's demi pixies- which are shorter from front but longer on the ends will complete the look to perfection.

L'Oreal Elvive Instant Miracle Care-Achieve smooth hair

Hello,

Today I will be reviewing a drugstore conditioner that gives high end results. It is the L'Oreal Elvive Instant Miracle Care.
 This product is packaged in a tube with glossy a outlook- totally catches ones attention as soon as you stand in front of the shampoo and conditioner rack. The conditioner smells like any high end perfume which is why I wanted to buy it right away. I usually take time and read (I did that here as well) but here it was more on skimming through quickly because it smelt so good.

One con of the packaging is that most of L'Oreal products have to much writing on the product and the jest (important part) is only two sentences long.

Anyways, I have been using this for a bit over 2 months and have repurchased the product.

Simply apply to the length of the hair away from your roots and leave for 1 min and wash away as usual. It will leave your hair smooth and they definitely smell amazing.

The product actually suggests that you apply from root to tip, however my crown gets oily if I apply any product and don't wash way properly hence I stay away from "root to tip".

My hair are manageable less tangled and has given great blow dried results. The frizz is very much in control. I started using this in October which is very hot and humid in my part of the world and my hair adapted to it quite pleasantly and needless to say it is doing wonders in the winter days.

My hair result without any serums after
wash and blow dried!
Give this a try and let me know your experience!

Winter Hair routine


Hello,

Battling dry coarse hair is a situation to dread all winter. I have been trying out this new technique I  came across while reading one of the beauty magazines and decided to try it out and the best is it's working for me.

Technique:
1. Before applying shampoo put some conditioner on the ends (YES before you shampoo). Do not wash just leave the conditioner on the ends and apply shampoo and rinse as usual.

The hairstylist said this will not dry your hair when the shampoo is coming off as you have coated the hair with conditioner.

2.After this, apply conditioner again on all the hair away from your scalp and clean as usual.

First I thought this might be too much conditioner for my hair or maybe it will make my hair limp but it is actually working. My hair come out smooth and when I hit the dryer the frizz and tangles stay away.

Try it and share if it worked for you!
