Spring 2010 look and trends

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

With spring here and summer around the corner, we welcome the opportunity to shed the dark layers of winter. 

One of my favorite trends this season is denim short shorts.  When paired with soft, relaxed fabrics, it lends itself to a no-nonsense look.  Here the look is complemented by a nude, minimalist eye, which is making comeback.

Shimmer products will be a main staple since they can be worn on the lip, face, eyes and cheeks.

Must-have colors for the lips are beige, naturals and red.  Coral is another hot color for lips and a great alternative for those not comfortable with red.  For the eyes, lilac, pink, coral and earth tones should be added to your collection as well as some turquoise eyeliner.  Turquoise will bring a surprising freshness to the earth tones.

Erin’s Look: Lorac Oil-Free Luminizer in Bronze mixed with the foundation.  Sonia Roselli Cometics’ Bisque and Gold Minx on the eyes, Elizabeth Blush and Rochelle Lipstick.  To purchase product from Sonia Roselli visit her studio Sonia Roselli Esthetique in Chicago, IL.

Here’s to looking fabulous,

Curling up with a good tool

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Most of us have lashes that either point downward or straight out, which can make the eyes look tired. A lash curler will curl your lashes in an upward direction and give your eyes a youthful, awakened appearance. 

Make sure to always use the lash curler on clean lashes to avoid breakage or pulling the lashes out. After the lashes are curled you can apply mascara, which will help to set the curl. These two eyelash curlers will create an amazing difference in your eyes’ appearance.
