Rain or Shine Its Heel Time!

Ever get ready in the morning or at night and your outfit looks phenomenal.  Then you put on those killer heels and it's like your looking at a picture on Pinterest only to have your outfit ruined by the rain?  Well not anymore with this amazing invention.  


When I was in the Philippines I came across these little rain coats for your heels.  You slip them over your shoe and they keep your pumps from getting soaked. 


If you want a pair the brand is called Fashion and I got mine at Market Market in Makati, PI.  

Thanks Philippines!

Trend Alert: Slouchy Pants!

When I was in the Philippines last month I saw women everywhere in slouchy pants.  They were surprising flattering and came in all different prints.  When I asked how long these pants had been in style for, ladies said they had been wearing them for the past couple of years.  I grabbed a few while I was overseas because they were everywhere I went.  Two years later, the trend is finally hitting the states and you too can get your own unique pair.

I spotted slouchy pants this weekend on my shopping trip to Nordstrom but I haven't seen them in that many places yet.  I personally pair mine with a short flowy top or a loose tank and tuck it in.  For a polished yet fashionable look these pants look great with a blazer and heels.

Will you be sporting this trend or do you think it's absolutely awful?

Let me know gorgeous!

Beauty Tip: Hair Growth

Do you want long luscious locks?  Massage your scalp before your shower or at night before going to bed.  This will stimulate your scalp causing cell turnover which leads to hair growth.

The Snail Facial. Is It For You?

There is a salon in Tokyo, Japan that is offering the snail facial.  The facial is an hour long and a beautician places snails on your face to crawl around leaving their slime on your skin.  The slime is supposedly great for moisturizing the skin but I kind of cringe thinking about it.  I'm all about trying new skincare approaches but at $250 a facial I think I'll pass.

Would you give the snail facial a try?  Leave a comment below or go to my facebook page and join in on the poll!

Get Your Best Eyebrow

Your eyebrows can completely transform your face.  The shape of your eyebrows make you look slimmer or fatter, wide awake and alert or dull and boring, etc.  Finding the right eyebrow shape for you is just like picking out sunglasses.  You want to find a brow shape that compliments your face. 

For instance my face is naturally round so I would want to have brows with a high arch.  I try and avoid those rounded eyebrows, you know the ones that are shaped like a rainbow.  That look isn't cute on me.  The goal is to find out your face shape and find which brow is best for you.  My tip would be to go to a professional and have them help you decide.

If you haven't had your brows professionally done a great place to go is ULTA at the benefit brow bar.  It takes about 20 minutes to get your brows done and they draw all over your brows, color them in, and show you what the finished product will look like before they start the waxing process.  I love how they use a gentle wax and don't double dip.  They also give you a free brow wax on your birthday so take advantage and see how you like it!

When you get your brows done speak up and ask questions.  Those girls or guys are professionals and will walk you through the steps of achieving your perfect brow at home.  If you're still hesitant about going to a professional and you like to do things at home check out benefit cosmetics for eyebrow tips and tricks.

Don't Wait Until the End of the Day to Wash That Face

It is an absolute must to go to sleep with a clean face.  At night your skin repairs itself and if you leave your make-up on it just sinks deeper into your pores causing breakouts and dull looking skin.  When night time hits though, it can get really hard to drag yourself to the sink or your vanity for a little TLC on that gorgeous face of yours.  My suggestion would be to not wait until the end of the day to do your night time skincare routine.  

Wash your face with clean hands when you get home from work/school or right after dinner.  It is also best to apply any night time creams at least an hour before you go to bed so it has some time to seep into your skin as opposed to applying your creams and having them wipe away on your pillow. 

Hope this little tip helps with your beauty sleep!

Dry, Chapped Lips?

Have your lips been extremely dry and chapped lately? Well I have got just the solution for you!

Now I hate dry chapped lips.  The dryness shows through your lipstick, they hurt, and it is so not cute.

My solution for getting soft, silky, kissable lips is to turn your shower on and get it nice and steamy.  While your shower is heating up take a chapstick, lip butter, etc. and apply all over your lips.  Really butter up those puckers.  Hop in the shower but don't get your lips wet just yet.  Give it a minute or two for the steam to do its magic.

Grab your face towel and get it a little damp and wipe off your chapstick.  Your dead dry skin comes right off leaving your lips oh so soft.

Now all you have to do is find someone to smooch with ;)

Kisses!
