Lindsay Lohan’s Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist


I have not had the chance to try Lindsay Lohan’s Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist, $35 at Sephora. Sometimes I am intrigued when a celeb has a beauty product on the market and other times I feel as the market is oversaturated by celeb products. Lindsay is known for her partying ways but her leggings line did quite well and she always looks tan, so I knew some sort of tanning product would soon follow. Enter Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist, a tanning product made by Lindsay Lohan and tanning expert Lorit Simon (I’m sure Lorit had more to do with the whole production of the line). The tanning mist only comes in one color (makes skin a caramel color). Check out Sephora for all the reviews before buying.

Would you try Lindsay Lohan’s Tanning Mist?

Where to shop: Old Navy


Old Navy was a store I frequented as a teen. When I needed some jeans or a sweater that’s where I headed, but as I got older and I matured I realized that I wanted to dress more feminine and I stopped shopping there. Fast forward to now…Old Navy has totally changed their style. They are trying to appeal to the young, cool crowd but featuring some great stuff at an affordable price. I really like the blue Maxi Dress, $25 and they have some really cute shoes . Recently, I went to Old navy for the $1 Flip Flops and let me tell you it was crazy. I went to a store in Scarsdale, NY thinking it would be quiet and it was, except for the flip flop section. Ladies were crazy! When the boxes came out you it was like they said it was free or something. People got pushy…lol! Anyways, some celebs like Kim Kardashian, Audrina Patridge and Kristin Cavallari (From the hills), Brittany Snow, Brittny Gastineau and Jessica  Lowndes are into the Old Navy action. Everyone like a deal! All the items on the celebs are under $35 and everything is looks great.

  

P.S. One of my favorite winter sweaters is my Old Navy fleece sweater. I have had it for years and I love it!

“Green” hair color?


Lately there has been a flood of green and eco-friendly products, so I knew one day it would enter the hair color world. Advanced Cosmetic Technologies (ACT) has created the first and only 100% plant based permanent hair color (PPD free). They claim to have an all natural hair color all while maintaining vibrancy. Since the color has no bleach or peroxide, it does not lift your color only enhances the color you already have…you will not end up with a lighter shade. The products combine 100% plant-based dyes with RBE-Colors (Renewable Botanical Enviro-Colors) the patent-pending technology that allows the color to bond with the hair shaft without using harmful, synthetic chemicals commonly found in other hair colors. I think its cool how these companies are coming up with new and innovative ways to maintain a healthy body and environment. This product is great for someone who has dark hair and wants to enhance it but you have dark hair and want to go blonder…you may not get the result you want from this hair color.

The hair color kit is $29.99

Also safe during pregnancy/nursing and cancer survivors.

Can you style your own hair?


I have been blow drying my hair for years and even though I have partially mastered it, I often have days when my hair doesn’t come out like I would like it to. I kinda wish I knew how to do all kinds of hair styles like braids, curls, waves, up-do’s, you know cool stuff like that. To tell you the truth I’m a little bit intimidated, I actually feel afraid that I will do something wrong. I know it’s just hair and its only style… and if it goes wrong I could just start all over again but it’s so much work…lol. Recently I came across a few articles that stated that some salons were having teaching lessons so that you could learn to do your own hair…I think that’s cool.

Do you know how to style your own hair?

 

P.S. I still can’t do a French braid…I’m sad!

Overnight Lip Repair


Chapstick, has new a product called, Chapstick Overnight Lip Treatment, $4 that is supposed to keep your lips hydrated at night when you go to sleep. Umm, I know the need to come up with new products all the time and as a person who tend to have dry lips im interested but couldn’t I just use the regular Chapstick at night and get a similar if not the same result…I’m just sayin’.

Cellulite…why do you haunt us?


 

So it has been said that a lot of people (woman) have cellulite and I know it’s true because I have seen it on people, but it still doesn’t stop bothering especially when I see people without it. They are too lucky to have genes that didn’t supply them with this dreadful condition…lol. I have cellulite and what I hate the most is that there is nothing we can do about it and the fact that it looks so obvious with the dimples and indentations…not very attractive. And people have come up with some beautiful terms for cellulite from cottage cheese to an orange peel…WHAT, an orange peel…REALLY?! Some of the creams on the market don’t get rid of cellulite they just smooth it out temporarily ( trust me…I have tried some). And I know there is that machine that’s supposed to help smooth the bumps (I’m sure that can be costly).  And another option is to exercise and lose fat that way the muscle is closer to your skin and then you will have smoother skin because the muscle is right underneath the skin. Yea that’s easier said than done.

Check out this article from the NYTimes that gives us even less hope…

Below are a few cellulite products that may or may not work…

Robert Pattinson Fans in NY


For all the lovely Robert Pattinson fans in Westchester, NY…he is in Yonkers filming his latest movie.  I don’t know where he is exactly but he is filming on the Metro North Harlem line. Just Jared has some photos. If he is still there and you catch a glimpse please keep your composure.

Michael Jackson: The King of Pop will live on in our hearts forever


Yesterday will become a day in history, the day our biggest music hero died. The King of Pop was not just a man but a legend that transformed music forever. He is what all people aspired to be…successful, talented and admired. Throughout Michael’s life, we can undoubtedly assume that life didn’t always go his way from his childhood to the court trials and plastic surgeries to the wacky things he had become known for. But Michael was an artist who broke down color barriers when there were still huge barricades. He thrilled us with his dance moves and vocal abilities. With every new album there came a new Michael always better than the last. Let us not look at how he lived and died but the impact he had on our lives. He will be missed.

To Michael…we appreciated you and our admiration will last forever. R.I.P.

Summer hair Accessories


Ever since I was a kid…summertime=fun time. It was fun everyday all day. We can still have some of that childhood fun, just in a different way like wearing colorful hair accessories. I don’t think we should revert back to being children but we can be inspired by kids and do it a grown up way. I’m still a big kid at heart, that’s why I love colorful headbands and clips. Just don’t go overboard you don’t want to look like a 4 year old.

Can beer fight frizz?


In the latest issue of Glamour there was an tips article titled “Your Top Beauty Problems Solved”. One of the tips was to use dark beer on your hair after shampooing your hair and then rinsing out after two minutes and then conditioning the hair in order to fight frizz. I personally don’t like how beer tastes but putting on my head in a totally different thing. I guess it would be a cheap fix if it really works. I wonder how beer stops frizz, maybe it coats your hair in something…I have no idea! Another tip was to massage coconut oil on your scalp (Indian woman use this trick to keep their hair beautiful). I don’t know how I would feel about the oil so close to my roots (since my hair is fine in texture)…as long as it’s not olive oil which I think would make my hair look like an oil slick.

Would you pour beer all over your hair in order to fight frizz?
