Pink Is My New Black

I have worn black nail polish for the past two years, so it’s time for me to give it a rest. Unless it’s for a special occasion and matches your outfit, it just looks dated. Do you really want the same nail color as every girl  in the room? I don’t.

Yesterday I discovered a great new color, Suzi and The Lifeguard by OPI Nail Polish. It is part of  the OPI South Beach Collection.

The color is fantastic and name is even better!

I am not a pink nail polish kind of girl, but this color is cool because it has a 1960’s beach bunny look and is reminiscent of a color Gidget would have worn.

My other favorite colors from the collection are Bronzed to Perfection, Sand in My Suit and Done Out in Deco. They are the perfect colors to get you ready for spring, so put down the black for awhile.

Winning the Bronze

Ladies, listen up! I would like to introduce you to your new best friend… Smash Box bronzer. I love this bronzer and use it all over my face and my cheekbones to give me definition but also color.

It’s by Smash Box and it’s called Bronze Lights. I get it in the Suntan Matte shade.

I think it’s important to have a great matte bronzer that doesn’t have shimmer in it because sometimes shimmer can make you look oily.

I use a smaller brush to contour my cheekbones and then use a bigger powder brush to give me a little color on my forehead and nose. This is a much better option than going to the tanning salon; remember to always put on an SPF face moisturizer before leaving the house. I will be posting video demonstrations on different looks soon!!

This product can be purchased online at Smash Box.

What will become of Making the Band?

On the last episode of Making the Band, Day26 and Donnie performed on a cruise ship while Qwanell a.k.a Q stayed behind in New York after Diddy gave him a time-out. Q had gone off the deep-end and now his crew was on a boat living up the life of luxury. The boys were happy and enjoying themselves while Q was sad and confused as to where life would take him.

Q was once the poster boy any band, label or brand would want. He was great looking, talented, hard-working and the sweetest thing you have ever seen. Yet something happened since last season where the guy who was too sweet and too perfect turned into the bad boy of Bad Boy Records.

Is it just me or does he look skinnier, his skin color more pale and his eyes now bug out of his head. There are few explanations for such an extreme transformation and I hope it isn’t the worst but it is hard to think what else could have changed Mr. Perfect into Mr. Hyde.

Meanwhile on the Danity Kane side, Dawn tries to recover after learning that Andrea was released from her contract with Bad Boy Records. This left Dawn as the only remaining member left of Danity Kane.

The perfect relationship from last season of Q and Dawn now has both being isolated, confused and scared. They don’t know where the future holds for either of them and only God and Diddy know.

Perhaps one truly is the loneliest number…

Fresh Face: Skin Care

CellCeuticals Skin Care was formulated by plastic surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher — who does the surgeries for Extreme Makeover.

I am in love with how Dr. Fisher’s  products have changed my skin.

Lately my friends have been commenting on how smooth my complexion is, and asking what I have been doing!

Even with the stress from school and  traveling, my skin has remained calm and near flawless. I owe it all to Cell Ceuticals Skin Care products for literally saving my skin.
