Gladiators I love gladiator sandals because they add so much sophistication to any outfit. Get a couple of pairs in gold or silver metallic as well as nude. Gladiators look best with jeans, skirts and beach wear.

Colorful Flats
If you can wear flats, I salute you! I’m very short (5′4) and I love love looove my super-high heels so flats aren’t for me, although I do own a few pairs for the odd occassion.

Get-Gorgeous Summer Tips...


This summer, make the most of your skin, hair, and fashion with these easy get-gorgeous tips.Weather you’re rushing to work, or just going for a stroll in the park, these quick and easy-to-do tips will come in handy wherever, whenever.
Create a contrast between your eyelids and your nail tips. A smoldering eye look paired with crisp off-white nail polish looks fabulous. Not only is it super sexy and elegant, but you don’t have to worry about matching your nails to your outfit.
Get mega volume this season. After blow-drying your hair, switch the settings on your drier to cool, and flip your head over. Aim the nozzle in random places. This will create pockets of air between the strands, so your hair will look extra pumped.
When you only have room for so much in your bag, keep a pearly white lip gloss handy. You can not only use it on your lips, but on your cheekbones and brow bones as well as a highlighter.
Hide your pimples by applying a yellow-based cover-up to work against the redness.Use a concealer brush to pat it on precisely, and blend the edges with your fingertip.
Get beautifully rosy cheeks by using a deep berry powder blush. Use a fluffy brush to work in slow, circular motions from the apples of your cheeks all the way to the hairline.

Spring Colors


Get ready for spring as it unravels its new colors. It’s all about bright, cherry colors, and trying something new and different. One of the most popular colors this season will be that bright, crisp white. It’s a color of innocence, of new beginnings, and purity. White looks great on everyone because it’s a very chic and classy color. So pick a crisp white skirt this spring with a colored top and you’ll look absolutely fabulous!
Yellow is also in surprisingly. We don’t see a lot of yellow colors around because it’s never really the center of attention. Yellow represents sunshine and happiness, so why not display those things with a cute yellow top or even a pair of yellow pants?



We all know florals are in. That means anything from white background to all color florals (pink,purple, blue, etc). We’ll see florals more in skirts and dresses than tops or anything else

Spring Beauty Tips : Lips


Make a statement this spring with bold lipstick colors. Think sour cherry and prune colors, but don’t overdo it on the eyes. If you have strong lips, make sure you just use a little mascara and maybe some eyeliner for definition.

Spring Beauty Tips : Cheeks


It’s all about looking natural, so apply a rose-colored blush. But of course, make sure you use whatever color blush your skin tone will match with, as long as it is a natural shade that will complement your complexion




Using the Right Kind of Blush
Using the right kind of blush can be a confusing experience since there are thousands of products out there aimed at making you look “better”. Follow these tips on how to use the right kind of blush for your skin tone.
Fair Skin
If you’ve got fair skin, you know that you can only experiment with so many things, usually lighter shades of makeup. Choose a peach blush that will give you just the right amount of rosy tint. Apply it sparingly to the apples of your cheeks, your forehead, nose, and chin. Just make sure you don’t put too much on, or it’ll end up looking fake.
Olive Skin
Girls with olive skin are a little bit luckier because they can get away with darker, more dramatic shades. So you can use darker blushes, such as bronzers, and dark peach tones. Try Ultima Nourishing Blush Stick in Berry.
Dark Skin
For dark skin, use a red hued blush or bronzer as it will give you a really nice glow. Swipe the blush brush on the apples of your cheeks, and a little bit to your forehead and chin. Try JA Blush Duo for Dark Complexion with brush.

Spring Beauty Tips: Eyes


As always, don’t throw out your black eyeliner just yet. The smoky eye will also be very popular this spring with well contoured eyebrows. Try something new and match your eyeliner to your outfit. For a new twist on the smoky eye, blend black eyeshadow with green, brown or purple. And don’t forget those thick eyelashes! • How 2 Get Smoky Eyes: Smoky eyes are perfect anywhere, anytime because the makeup is not overdone, and it adds a little bit of mystery and allure to your look. Here’s how to get this incredibly smoky look. First off, you will need a few tools. Opt for a darker eyeshadow such as a chocolate brown, charcoal or bronze. You’ll also need a flat eyeliner brush and a cotton swab. Begin the process by applying a nude eyeshadow over your entire lid. This will put your makeup in place, so that you don’t get any smudges or creases. Dip the edge of your eyeliner brush into the dark eye shadow. Tap off the excess powder. Gently, press the tip of the liner brush into the base of your upper lashes. Repeat again along the length of your eyelashes. Add more shadow if needed. With the cotton swab, gently smudge the liner upwards as if to blend it with the neutral shadow. Finish off by applying two thick coats of black mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

Spring Beauty Tips: Hairs


if you have long hair, opt for natural, loose waves. For shorter hair, high, glossy pony-tails are a must thing spring. To get super high shine, use a deep conditioner once a week as well as a hair mask. Also, it is imperative that you use a shampoo and conditioner that caters to your hair type. • Get Messy Hair For Straight Hair It is probably the easiest of all three because straight hair is more manageable.

Step 1
: Shampoo and apply a light conditioner; towel-dry your hair until it is damp.


Step 2
:With your left hand, pull smallish, arbitrary sections of hair approximately two inches in width, which you’ll then wrap around two of the fingers of your right hand. The index and middle fingers are probably easiest. Just think of your fingers as human hair rollers.


Step 3
:Apply a volumizing spray to each section after it’s rolled. Slide your fingers out and you’re ready for the next roll!

Step 4:Secure each section with a bobby pin for a tighter hold if you like, and allow the hair to set for about half an hour.

Beauty tips: Maximize Your Lashes


These days, there are tons of mascaras that promise you super long lashes, separation and thickness. Unfortunately, these products don’t work for most of the time. That’s why you need to adopt a good technique to get the most out of your lashes and maximize them to the fullest. So here is how to get the most out of your lashes:

Step 1: Use an eyelash curler to curl the base of your lashes first. Hold for 15 seconds. If you find that your lashes don’t curl as easily, heat your eyelashes curler with a blowdrier for a few seconds and try again.


Step 2: After you’ve curled the base, use your lash curler at the halfway point of your lashes. Hold for another 15 seconds.


Step 3: The final step involves curling your lashes at the tips to get the maximum lash curl. Hold for 15 seconds yet again and release.
