Selena Gomez shaken it up with Sherri Hill

Selena Gomez shines as an actress and singer, but she blew us away on center stage at the 2011 Disney Kids & Family Upfront wearing Sherri Hill Style #1403.  The teen superstar performed with the cast of Disney’s Shake It Up wearing the crystal corset stunner with a tulle skirt in New York City on Wednesday.

 

Candy Land!

This spring is going to be filled with bright dramatic colors – 2011 Fashion Week really set the “pan-tone”!  Technicolor lips and brightly colored eyes are popping up and out in every city! Pink, blue, orange, green and red are setting this season’s rainbow of color.  Addiction NV Cosmentics is a definite go-to for the beauty essentials in some real show-stopping colors – guaranteed favorites to look out for are Bewitch, Captivate, Hook, Lure, Linger and Tempt for a rainbow-ed assortment of must-haves!  And make sure you get a little “cheeky” color with Addiction NV’s Smart Ass, Audacious or Fake IT Till you Make It!

Now make like an artist, look in the mirror and paint away!


Diffusing the Winter Blues…

We’re only 11 days away from the Spring Equinox and even though it’s still cold outside, cabin fever has set in. Crocuses have been spotted and we’ve been wearing our sunglasses a little more often lately, but we can’t quite bust out our new spring clothes just yet.

Magazines may suggest mixing spring floral dresses with heavy sweaters to transition, but this year we’re changing it up: home fragrance. After seemingly endless winter days of closed windows and dry central heating (hello, humidifiers!), it’s time for a breath of fresh air. I’m not talking about any old “Spring Flowers” room freshener–I’m talking about elegant-and-earthy reed diffusers from Amazing Stone’s Semi-Precious Home Collection. With a diffuser in…well, almost every room, the fresh-yet-romantic signature Amethyst scent is bringing me out of the winter doldrums and making spring cleaning a little bit more bearable. Each bottle is filled with authentic semi-precious Amethyst crystals, brightening up every room–a touch of nature and glamour!

Addicted to Bright Eyes

In the midst of international fashion weeks, we’re overwhelmed by all the hot new makeup trends showing up on the runways. Some are a bit too crazy (bleached eyebrows are not my look), but some can easily be adapted for everyday–or every night–use. And if you’re the type of woman who follows fashion and beauty trends down to the minute, you need the supplies to do it.

Enter…

3 of the most striking and talked-about looks on the runways are bright (even neon!) eyeshadow and liner. Addiction NV has trend-friendly and skin-friendly products to help you look straight off the catwalk.

BRIGHT EYES, meet HUNGRY EYES & LINE UP.

Shadows from hot red to acid green washed over eyelids at Yigal Azrouël and L’Wren Scott (and just about everywhere else) while Derek Lam and Peter Som equipped dramatic orange and yellow eyeliners to highlight their models’ eyes.

 

Addiction NV Line Up gel eyeliner

 

Now maybe you’re not quite ready to line your lashes with yellow–but if you want to rock the trend with a slightly-more-tame color, ADDICTION NV has the perfect solution: Line Up gel eyeliner. Try Hell on Heels for a bold electric blue, Trouble Maker for bright purple, or even Red Handed for girls bad enough to rock a Rihanna-red eye.

 

Addiction NV Hungry Eyes eyeshadow pans and palette

 

If you’re more of an eyeshadow girl, try Addiction NV‘s Hungry Eyes in Hook, Bewitch, or Captivate: bright orange, hot pink, and a sparkling turquoise.

The Must Have Travel Bag!

To all my fashionista jetsetters, tis the season to travel!  From New York’s Fashion Week to Paris’ next week, it is essential to travel organized and, most importantly, in style. The most important item for a fashionista, second to her apparel, is her make up – because color coordination is a must.

We all know how hectic Fashion Week already is and there is no time to deal with unorganized messy make up. If you’re the person always losing your favorite lip gloss or can’t find your eye liner in your endless make up bag you’re in luck! I have to recommend Mini Kittour, the perfect kit to couture. Mini Kittour is the premier line of travel accessories; they offer smart, convenient and customizable features that make traveling a breeze. Savvy, stylish and completely vital, mini kittour was created to organize, simplify and beautify your life.
