Skincare to Beauty

Allie definitely knows her stuff about makeup. But what about the prep before it? Makeup can only go so far to hide blemishes. Washing your face is essential for good skin. What should you use though? One of the hottest skincare products on the market is the Clarisonic. I absolutely love it and suggest it to ANYONE who has skin problems. My face has noticeably cleared up and it feels really refreshing.

What product you wash your face with is also important. I know Allie uses Bliss, which she raves about but what I love is this face wash I got from L'Occitane. It cleans your face and make your skin feel silky smooth.
I usually wash my face twice a day but make sure that after you wash your face you put on a moisturizer. If you don't, your face produces extra oils that leads to acne. Any moisturizer is fine but I strongly suggest Bobbi Brown's vitamin enriched face base. It feels light and not oily.
Keeping your skin in good condition is very important. Having clean skin makes you look good and feel great. Take time and care with your skin. You'll thank yourself when you're old.

summer special events--BEAUTY

For the summer i usually like to go for a fresher, clean faced look, rather than a dark sultry look which i usually wear in the winter and fall. To me there is nothing sexier than a super long lash-line.
First i would start out with the appropriate color foundation if necessary. (i like to go natural on the skin, i think it is more appealing)
Then i would chose a deep bronzer or warm toned blush (i use Bobbi Brown, if you want to know the exact shade, comment) and start on the top of the cheek bone and swipe your way down to right above the smile lines and repeat until you get a nice warm tone. Don't forget to blend.
Find an eyeliner that fits your needs. Eyeliner colors that match your eyes can help enhance your eyes and draw people to them. You can never go wrong with classic black, though. I suggest L'Oreal eyeliner. It works really well and looks great, too.
Next i would take your most dramatic mascara (YSL) and make a super thick coat on the upper lashes and the lower. Repeat with a less dramatic mascara to refine and extract the clumps. Immediately after, curl your eyelashes using an eyelash curler for 15 seconds on each side. 
Then, use a brown eye pencil to line the upper lash-line. Start on the outside and work your way in getting smaller and smaller. Not too heavy though. 
Then, use a gold or brass shadow or cream (Mac paint pot) on the lids to create definition. not too much . 
Line the brows with an eyebrow pencil (Bobbi Brown ) and start from the inside corner and work your way out. don't press too hard or it wont look natural. 
Finish off with a neutral lipstick.
I would pull my hair back, wear FANTASTIC earrings and really let the eyes pop! 
have fun in your sexy summer style! you will really impress them :)

topshop $70

I am what my friends call me, a "prepsicle." I love clean cut outfits usually involving lace, floral print, bright colors, or anything classy. My favorite store is topshop, which is British. The outfits there range from preppy to punkish. The clothes are not too expensive and the only store in the U.S. is in New York.

j. crew turtleneck $158

I also love the store j. crew even though it is a little pricey. The clothes there are more mature and can be matched easily with almost anything. Even if you don't have the money to buy clothes there you can definitely get ideas about different styles to try. A lot of clothes there are things you can find at other places for a lot cheaper!

Allie and Me!

Allie and I have very different styles, yet we both agree on one thing. Bobbi Brown is the best makeup brand. I do like Chanel eyeliner and mascara but Bobbi Brown has wonderful everything. The most recent Bobbi Brown purchase of mine is the brow pencil which I love and suggest to anyone wanting to make a noticeable change to their look. It looks great!

I love looking and feeling good about myself in my clothes. Always wear what you want and never what people tell you to. Expressing yourself is important.

Madonna, Desperately Seeking Susan

I would describe my style as... eclectic. I like to go for the statement pieces, oversized sweaters, and vintage jackets. I am a great believer in overdressing. I'd rather enjoy what i have on than wear a dull uniform. Makeup is a HUGE part of my life. I have done artistry for a few years and am a huge Bobbi Brown fan. Yes, it's cliche but I'm an actress. Singing, acting, art, music, and fashion are my passions and i am so lucky to have more than one.

    One thing to know about me, I live in boots. My favorite store is All Saints Spitalfields and my favorite online store is Nasty Gal. please feel free to email me at rorose658@gmail.com for questions, advice, or anything at all !

Back To Style

FASHION
It is now the month of August, which unfortunately means school is just around the corner. While we all cram in the last bits of summer reading and buy our school supplies and books, the anxiety of another year of hell kicks in. There is one good thing about the beginning of school, though. Shopping for fall clothes!! I mean, what girl doesn't love arriving to school in the newest thing she bought to show off to her friends? I know I do! Which brings me to another point, if you dread school as much as I do, why not make it enjoyable and buy those cute sandals or gorgeous skirt you've been admiring? Being able to make school a little more fun by treating yourself to something you want is definitely worth it. So as you prepare to head back to school, look through catalogs or stores online and see what would you want for school. Starting off the school year strong by not only looking hot but feeling happy might even raise your grades or even catch a boy's eyes :) - Catherine


Well, Catherine certainly told it how it is. The start of school is a great way to kick off a new you or a new look. I get overjoyed when i think about the clothes that the new year is going to bring me. Now i actually have a reason to get dressed beyond leggings and a white V with a scarf and boots (which is NEVER a bad option). One cite that i recommend is www.shopnastygal.com . This online store has everything from vintage caftans to lace tanks. My personal favorite for the fall is the draped tank dress. The dress is black which means you can pair it with anything. I would pull my hair back in a chignon, wear some open-toed boots with heels, an extremely oversized sweater, your favorite long necklace, red lipstick, tons of mascara and you are set to go. Looking hot and still comfortable! Please send us pictures of your back to school outfits! and if you need any advice, that's what we are here for ! --xox Allie
