NEW IN BEAUTY: GIVENCHY MAKEUP

I've added some beautes to my collection for the lovely brides that I will be getting ready for their big day this summer. I believe that brides should have the very best on their wedding day and what better than Givenchy makeup to kick start their big day. These colours are versatile and can work with a variety of skin tones and I'm particularly in awe about the lipsticks. The packaging is so luxurious yet the colours are so vibrant and riche.

TOP LOOKS FROM THE BILLBOARD 2013 AWARDS


Another big night in music took place last night in Vegas and it was fun to see what all the gorgeous people wore. What makes this award show even more fun is the beauty and fashion looks gives you a sneak peek at what to expect come summer. Kesha and Jennifer Lopez kept it laid back and natural while on the other spectrum Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift's went for a more edgier look with black liner and pink lips.

I NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION


So yesterday has not been the best day and today is better, but still not 'good.'  See, I've been trying to change some things about my health and it gets so damn hard sometimes I need all the prayers and inspiration one would need when frustration sets in. I promise this is something I will get more into but today is not that day. I am waay too vulnerable at this point and I would prefer to inspire than discourage someone from taking a similar route. 

Yes I'm using Jennifer Lopez as an inspiration BUT this journey is really not about weight it is truly about health. In fact, I am a little terrified of losing too much weight in my quest to health praying to God that I don't lose my booty in the process. It's just that I haven't been feeling my best self or even looking my best lately either. My skin hasn't been the same, my hair has changed and more importantly my digestion has been a little cray cray for some months years. I had to take a look at not only what I was doing on the exterior, such as my skincare routine, upping my exercise (I stopped for a couple years but now back on but not as much as before but I will get there again) and drinking plenty of water but also, on what I was putting into my body and the effects it started to have on EVERYTHING else in my life. 

So here I am today making all these changes that I don't like but realize I must do to live my life feeling more alive. So my sisters and brothers in Christ, pray for me and I pray that this will also inspire you to start taking those steps to great health instead of the ideal weight. XO



SPRING NAIL POLISH TREND- PASTELS & NUDES

Pastels & Nudes are big this Spring and with colours like these, how can you resist? A lot of people especially with fair skin, believe pastels makes them look pasty but these pastels are chic and modern. Nudes are always in but in a big way this spring and there's a shade for every skin tone. A nude pastel shade brings both of these together in perfect harmony.

HAIR TREND: DEEP SIDE PART

The deep side part is so hot right now and for good reasons. It fits every face shape and actually compliments it, making you look more beautiful. I have always looved a side part but a center part can also be tempting because it balances out features and brings instant chic. That is why the deep side part is becoming so popular. It is different from the regular center part and also more exaggerated than the average side part. Check out how these celebs wear and style their deep side part from super exaggerated on Beyonce to sexy bombshell Megan Fox

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Thandie Newton

Havana Brown

Jennifer Lawrence

Julianne Hough

Megan Fox

I've been wearing the deep side part now for a couple months switching from left to right side and wavy or curly. It is extremely versatile as you can do a side pony, a side braid or even a low side bun. Update your hair this spring and try a deep side part. You can't say you didn't get the memo. 







CLASSIC WINGED LINER

Final look for the Classics series. The infamous winged liner. 
Hope you guys enjoy :))






STYLE FILE: RIHANNA IN BALMAIN

Rihanna without a doubt has style so sick it makes you want to vomit. But what makes her style is the uniqueness of what she wears and how she wears in a way that makes you know that only she could pull off. Her makeup always looks so effortless and she changes hairstyle like the Canadian weather. So I sighted Miss Ri Ri last night on Instagram heading out to celebrate the launch of her new MAC lipstick 'Ri Ri Woo' looking so fab I had to share with you guys. Read: I want this outfit! But at $2,250 just for the blouse, this is highly unlikely. I'm not sure if it's the femininity of the mint green or the subtle sexiness of it but it works for her and I think this look could work on many woman with different body shapes, with a few adjustments of course. I guess I just have to settle for the lipstick instead.
