Karen LaMonte - Glass Dresses

These beautiful glass dress sculptures below can be seen
at the Museum of Glass. Aren't these amazing?! It looks
like an invisible body inhabits these dresses!

Posh Girl Vintage

I've "discovered" an online vintage store that sells
the most adorable dresses! The following are some
totally cute "little black dresses" from 2 different
decades.

Like this 1940s velvet trimmed masterpiece.


Or this 1950s flowing chiffon delight.

Party Time!

Parties & other special events are the perfect excuse
for getting that cute little black dress or that sleek
tuxedo suit.

For Example, this adorable, Grace Kelly inspired,
little black dress from Bloomingdale's.



Or this sleek tuxedo suit from Banana Republic.

DivineDivaDelights - Shea Balm

As you can see, I mentioned DivineDivaDelights.com in my last post.

Even though I felt the scent would be mild enough for me to handle, I still wound up being allergic to it. No fault of DivineDivaDelights.com of course, just my own allergy ridden system. In defense of DivineDivaDelights.com, their Shea Balm (Apricot & Honey) was very moisturizing. So, if you want a good moisturizer & you can handle fragrances then you'll like this.

DivineDivaDelights.com

Ah, there's nothing quite like soaking in a relaxing bubble-bath or slathering on a luscious body butter! Enter DivineDivaDelights.com, With balms, moisturizers, & oils you need! I usually steer clear of fragrances (because of allergies), but some sound absolutely scrumptious! I personally would like to try both their Hydrating Cream ($9+) & their Shea Balm ($11+), in Apricot & Honey. Yumm!

Il Divo

I know this is off topic, but have
you heard these guys sing? Wow!

2 Evening Makeup Looks

Note: Foundation & Powder application is considered a given.

Look #1 - Dramatic Eyes
This is my favorite because I always like emphasizing my eyes.

You'll Need:

• A monochromatic or similar colors eye-shadow quad
  (or at least a trio) with a medium shade, a light shade,
  & a dark shade (e.l.f.'s brightening eye color quads are great)
  
• Blackest Volume & Lengthening Mascara You've Got (L'Oreal's Volume Shocking is perfect for that VaVaVoom effect)
  
• Black Eyeliner
• A subtle blush
  
• A neutral (pinky-nude) lipgloss (e.l.f.'s moisture care lipgloss in natural blush is the perfect pinky-nude)
  

Your Look:

• Prep your lids (primer or foundation & powder)
• Cover your entire lid with the medium shade
• Using dark color, contour on sides & in crease for dramatic depth
• Using light color, highlight your lid directly in the center
  (to draw attention to your eye color)
• Using light color, highlight your brow bone & the inner corner of your eye
• Apply your black eyeliner & a coat or 2 of mascara
• Apply & blend blush on to apples of cheeks
  
• Swipe a coat of pinky-nude gloss on your lips & that's it!
  

Look #2 - Intense Lips
Intense, full lips are always sexy.

You'll Need:

• A lip brush (e.l.f. has a variety
  of brushes & tools to choose from)
  
• Tissue to blot
• An intense shade of lipstick that
  goes well with your skin tone
• A sheer neutral eyeshadow
• A subtle blush
  
• liner & mascara
• (Optional) lipgloss
  

Your Look:

• Prep your lips (whichever way you do it)
• Using your lip brush, apply a layer of intense lip color
• Blot with a piece of tissue & apply another layer
• Repeat, if necessary
• (Optional) Apply gloss to center of bottom lip then smack
  them both together, Now you've got an even fuller pout
  
• Apply a sheer wash of neutral color on the eyes
• Apply & blend blush on to apples of cheeks
  
• Apply liner & mascara
• Using a retractable lip brush, grab some of the lip color, retract the brush & toss it into your bag for touch ups on the go
  

And there you go, 2 beautiful & dramatic evening makeup looks!
