Women, ladies, girls , females and sisters , we all have a reputation to protect and that reputation is our skin! Whether we cover it up with make-up or gunk on the that thick avocado mask, we put something on our face. I believe we should treat our face like a canvas and act like an artist when applying any kind of facial product (foundation, mask, cleanser,and etc.) That means have fun with it! So if your an artist , you need to make sure you act like it too! Don’t hesitate to try something new or different, because this season different is in!

Here are a Few Beauty Trends For Spring 2011

  • 60′s inspired Cat eyes — (Example :Amy Winehouse,Kreyshawn)

Its all about the jeans!

Whether its Apple Bottoms or  Miss Me‘s , jeans have been trendsetting their way into fashion. You can find all patterns and accents to compliment your rear area , but  personally I think I have a harder time finding the right fit that accentuates my best feature lol Well i hope it is. So here are some essential tips and fits that helped me make the jean finding game a lot easier.

Pear Shaped Body- choose a low-rise , flat-front boot cut pant . *buy to fit your hips! Remember, the waist line can be taken in by your b.f.f.(a tailor)  so don’t  worry if its a size bigger , that does not mean you gained weight , you just got a bigger butt than you thought.

Curvy Body- On the hips make sure your jean has a flat -front with subtle flarred cuffs, only if your proportioned and tallish, if not a straight leg or subtle boot cut is fine. But, make sure the jean is not tapered or flarred.

*please stay away from pleated patterns or ankle tappered pants it doesn’t flatter the body as much as you think. Read More
