  2. HAIRSTYLE TIPS AND TRICKS

    For anyone in search of interesting ways to achieve wavy hair or a braided updo, look no further than this video from She Lets Her Hair Down. 

    Featured is a unique spin on the wave utilizing simple strips of cloth, hairspray, a little heat, and some air drying.  As you can see from the last shot in the video, the finished looks are quite stunning. 

    Looks like I have a few new hairstyles to attempt this summer.

  3. REFLECTIONS ON BEAUTY:
    DOVE’S “REAL BEAUTY SKETCHES”

    Dove has yet again created a truly moving video showcasing how warped people perceive themselves on a physical level.  With the help of a forensic artist, the sketches created display such a dramatic difference between the women’s descriptions of themselves and the descriptions provided from people they met.  The first sketch was a more brutal depiction highlighting the minor flaws we are all guilty of obsessing over while the second sketches were not only more accurate, but also made some of the women realize their flaws are not as prominent as they seem.

    I continuously applaud Dove for continuing their campaign towards changing the perception of beauty in our society and look forward to seeing what they release next.

  5. CURRENT FAVE: DIORSKIN NUDE BB CREME(image via Dior.com) Although I’ve only been using the Diorskin Nude BB Creme for about two weeks, in that short time I can confidently say that this is one of the best BB cremes I have tried to date.  Thank you Dior for producing it in a color I can use (even if it’s just during the winter months). In one application it helped reduce the appearance of blemishes, made my skin feel smoother and more even, and quickly absorbed into my skin leaving it feeling moisturized without looking greasy. I know a winner when I try one and for my skin type, the Diorskin Nude BB Creme (in dark 004) has been a great addition to the lineup for those days when a full foundation isn’t necessary.  For those concerned about price (it retails for $44!), you really are paying for quality with this.

  6. I’m currently incredibly behind on everything related to FW13 RTW collections.  As I take the next week or so finally catching up, here’s a bit of makeup inspiration from the Atelier Versace Spring 2013 Couture show.  Another incredible beauty look created by Pat McGrath shown here on model Joan Smalls.  The pop of neon green is a lovely accent to the smokey eye she created on the models.
