Penelope Cruz Covers W Magazine

Posted by Sophie on July 19, 2008

Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz graces the cover of W Magazine August 2008. I just received the magazine today and I have to say, it’s the prettiest photo of Penelope I’ve ever seen. I’m glad how the cover emphasized only on her face. Her eye makeup is fantastic! There are also great photos of Kate Moss, Christy Turlington and Gisele Bundchen in this issue.

Lipsticks that Care

Such pretty lipstick with a good conscious about nature - Cargo PlantLove lipstick comes in a tube that’s entirely made out of corn!  The lipstick is also made with environmentally friendly ingredients such as jojoba and shea butter without the harsh ingredients like petroleum.  I think the best thing about PlantLove lipstick is that $2 from every lipstick sold will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!

Yes, these lipsticks really care for sure!  Not only will you end up with gorgeous lip shades but you’ll also be helping the environment and sick children.  A win-win situation for everyone.  So pick your favorite colors since there are plenty to choose from.  In fact, 10 of the shades were designed by some of our favorite celebs like Evangeline Lily and Angie Harmon.  The box is made of flower paper embedded with flower seeds so you can even grow your own flowers by purchasing the lipstick!

Summer Natural Makeup

Posted by Sophie on May 18, 2008

Who wants heavy cakey makeup in the summer?  Not me.  I break out terribly if I wear heavy makeup mixed with sweat…yuck!  I like to wear makeup that’s light, natural looking and still looks absolutely beautiful. 

Here is my favorite makeup look from Rachel Bilson.  Love her subtle look that makes her glow from within!  Tinted moisturizer, hint of blush, lip gloss and a eyeliner is all you need.

Pop Your Eyes

Posted by Sophie on May 9, 2008

Well, not literally haha!  It’s so refreshing to see bold colors for the eyes instead of the same ol’ brown & black that we see everyday.  Never thought that a yellow & blue hue would look so pretty together!  This blazing bi-color combo is the hot makeup trend right now.  I’d recommend using matte shadows instead of shimmery ones for the cooler effect.
