Beauty Bomb: Eye Makeup Tips from Fashion Week!

Hi Beauty Bombers!

So not only were there some great looks on the runway but celebrities were also showing off their flair with eye makeup. Check out some tips on how to get their glam beauty looks at home!

Ciara worked the smoky eye here with a pink pout and wavy locks…

Eyes: Use a smoky eyeshadow quad and start by using the lightest color on the entire lid from lash line up to the eyebrow.  Apply the 2nd to lightest shade on the lid only and the 3rd lightest shade to the crease.  Finish by applying the darkest shade to the upper and lower lash lines making sure to blend the colors on the lid in an upward-circular motion. Next, line the upper lash line with a black liquid liner and lower lashes with a pencil liner.  Don’t forget your mascara to finish your look!

Kelly Rowland’s look is ALL about the lashes while keeping everything else very simple.

Eyes: To really make the eyes pop, apply a natural shimmery shade to the lid, inner corners of the eyes and eyebrow arch.  Next apply a matte brown shadow to the crease of the lid.  Apply false lashes and line the upper and lower lids with a black eyeliner.  Curl both the false lashes and yours and finish by applying black mascara to upper and lower lashes.

Extra Tip: To put more emphasis on your eyes, pull hair back to make your face and eyes the focal point.

Keri Hilson’s sultry, dramatic eye complemented her jersey dress. Loves it!

Eyes: Apply a plum shadow to the lid from the lash line to the crease.  Use a charcoal shadow on the outer corners and blend towards the inner corner of the eye. Add a highlighter to the brow bone and inner corner and line the upper and lower lashes with black liner.  Use a volumizing mascara in black to finish the look and make sure to get both the upper and lower lashes.


Go forth and get gorgeous!

Fashion Bombshell of the Day : Sorority Girl Cherelle

Hey Guys!

Just because it’s fashion week doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about our daily bombshells! Today we have sorority girl Cherelle:

Sorority-Cherelle

She says, “As a member of a sorority, I get invited to many balls, dinners, cabarets, etc. …the whole nine. They require me to get all dolled up which I love so much. Here is my favorite look for this year. And it’s another one for us thick girls. What do you think?”

I personally love a simple look, and you pull it off! Feeling the strapless draped sweetheart and your exotic print shoes.

What do you guys think of Cherelle’s style?

Show Review : Baby Phat Spring / Summer 2010

The stars came out in droves last night for Baby Phat’s Spring 2010 collection, Moroccan Kiss:

As soon as I walked into Roseland Ballroom, I spied several celebrities peppering the front row, including the elusive Amber Rose, stylist June Ambrose, raven haired Kim Kardashian, and more:

After about half an hour, the show began with a loud blast of music, as brightly colored clothes and a bass driven soundtrack literally shook up the room:

Kimora’s Spring 2010 collection mixed the easy feel of 70’s separates with Moroccan opulence and style. Using a color palette of coral, turquoise, pink, and violet, she showcased laced blouses, draped dresses, sequined separates, and tailored outerwear all with oodles of gold jewelry and embellishments:

The line included skin clinging jewel toned dresses, colorblocked flouncy tops, floor grazing floral maxi dresses, and easy oversized white shirts , predominantly worn with gold accented sandals and oversized tote bags. Artfully combining tie dye, acid wash, and look-at-me patterns, Kimora presented a line made for a cool tween or young adult with a daring sense of their blooming sensuality:

My favorites included ruffled monokinis in navy and exotic print:

And bright sequined skirts that reflected the gold dust on the runway:

Out of all of Kimora’s collections, this one seemed the most wearable. I could see all of these hot items hanging on the racks in Macy’s, awaiting an eager tween or twenty something to scoop them up. From her new husband and baby to her increasingly chic collection, it seems everything for Kimora is on the uptick!
For the final walk, models stomped out to Michael Jackson’s PYT:

After a bit of a wait Kimora appeared with Ming, Aoki, and newborn Kenzo:

I also stopped Teyana Taylor after the event to ask her what she thought:

And chatted it up some more with Sheree:

Upscale Hype has the scoop on Rihanna’s latest splurge, a $3,385 Zagliani Python Puffy Bag:

She recently rocked the expensive piece to catch a flight to L.A. Does anyone else remember the Real Housewives episode where Sheree purchased this (the bag “Shot full of Botox”)?

At any rate if you want to get down Real Housewife or Rihanna style, find store locations at www.zagliani.it.

Real Style : Baby Phat

Hey Guys!
So last night I attended the endlessly fun Baby Phat show at Roseland Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan. The stylistas were out, the music was blasting, and clothes were pumping down the runway!

I managed to interview a few style stars, including Sheree and Teyana Taylor. Until I get the bomb show review together, here are just a few snaps of Real Style:

Baby Phat Spring 2010 Show Roseland Ballroom

I was feeling the sequined tights, blazer, layered necklaces, and ruby red shoes, but what really set this oufit OFF was her polka dot bowtie. How cute is that?

Loved this girl’s feathered frock, which she apparently purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue. Her brown and black open toe shoe boots were killer as well.

Simplicity is key! Young lady on the left added a floral bolero to a white top and skinny pants, while diva on the right shined in a draped gray dress.

And of course I took a pic! I chose to wear Dolce Vita hooded dress from Pieces, a Chanel Metallic Evening Bag from Avelle, and gold bracelets and necklace from Jenny Dayco.
What do you think?

Stay tuned for a show review, celebrity pix, and tons of video!
Smootches!

Hot! or Hmm… : Jessica White in Balmain’s Peak Shoulder Leather Jacket

Last night model Jessica White was spied wearing one of fall’s most coveted items:

Jessica White Balmain Leather Peak Shoulder Jacket

Balmain’s $13,395 Peak Shoulder Leather Quilted Jacket.
The work of art has tulle and chain link detailing around neck and through the front, concealed hooks to fasten, and three-quarter length sleeves.
The droolworthy jacket is definitely dope, but looking at it on Jessica makes me go hmm…does it look like a $14,000 jacket?
If so, get it plus a few more options below:

Kanye West Styles Amber Rose for Elle’s October Issue

New York Magazine has the following scans of Amber Rose’s spread (no pun intended) in the October Issue of Elle Magazine:

The five pager shows Rose in various states of contemplation and repose, lounging and gazing in different sections of a high rise city apartment:

While Amber is now a legitimate model, it seems she can’t quite let go her ‘Smooth’ and ‘King’ like aura, posing with her back arched high and unabashedly showing her bare buttocks in a dominatrix like leather bodysuit:

Am I the only one surprised that this will be in Elle Magazine? And are you impressed with Kanye’s styling skills?
