Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, KT? Lorac Sheer Wash in Sheer Luck Pure Chance

Posted on May 29, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

My pilates teacher at Whole Body Method, KT, is cool. Like waaaaay cool. Like hangin’ out at music festivals, being a music supervisor and being able to flexibly squat on the floor for hours-cool.

Whatcha' Wearin', KT?

So when she showed up at a recent session with this oh-so-natural and just-enough-of-a-hint-of-a-color lip stain, I had to ask her: “KT, whatcha’ wearin’?”

The answer? Lorac Sheer Wash in Sheer Luck Pure Chance.

A gorgeous subtle fuchsia that looks like your natural lip color, it glides on effortlessly and stays on for hours. Just what my pretty, perfect and poignant pilates teacher needs! After all, she’s got me as a student so we do A LOT of yammerin’!

I’M LOVING…Estee Lauder Pure Color Sheer Rush Gloss in Techno Jam

Posted on April 17, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

I get sent glosses to try every day which is, of course, a lot of fun! But with so many glosses on the market, I can’t make room for all of them on BeautyFrosting.

Know what does make the cut?

What is this gorgeous blackberry hue? Stay tuned...

A gloss that gives me a non-sticky, jammy lip. I mean, literally, JAMMY.

That’s why right now, I AM LOVING…Estee Lauder Pure Color Sheer Rush Gloss in Techno Jam ($24).

I'M LOVING...Estee Lauder Pure Color Sheer Rush Gloss in Techno Jam ($24)

It’s moisturizing, light, long-lasting, shiny and chock-full of glorious color! Plus, the name has jam in it, the color is jammin’ and it leaves me with blackberry jam-stained lips. With every application, I look like I took my finger and dipped it into a fresh farmstand jar of blackberry jam.

Swatch-time!

This is gloss done right, beauties! And it will leave you rapping like Theo on The Cosby Show sayin’ “J-j-j-j-Jammin’ on the 1″.

xoxo,
BF

BF Asks: Who got that Theo reference, folks?

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Stacey J?

Posted on April 3, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

Makeup was the last thing I was thinking about when I walked into my agent’s office last week for an audition. I had a way-too-fun night the night before at the El Rey for The Mavericks’ show with my friend, director Trey Fanjoy who was in town from Nashville. Her love, Eddie, is their dynamo lead guitarist and they brought the americana rock to LA. My head was a bit cloudy and champagne was still swilling in my post-Conga-line brain. Yes, you read that right. We conga-lined through the El Rey. I would say the audience was less than pleased with this. But we had FUN!!

So when I walked into AVO and saw the lovely Stacey J. whip out a lip color to reapply, I wasn’t really thinking about Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday. But when she glided on the punchy pink color, no amount of conga brain could keep me from asking, Whatcha’ Wearin’, Stacey J?

Whatcha' Wearin', Stacey J?

WWW Stacey J: It’s Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. I buy them in spades whenever I can. It’s my go-to lip color of choice!

The scoop? Maybelline New York's Baby Lips in Pink Punch

BF: Well, I can see why!! It’s gorge!! Would you be willing to be my WWW girl?

WWW Stacey J: Absolutely!!

And how could she not be, beauties, with this lovely lip look?

If you want to look polished and pretty with a punchy, pink lip like Stacey J, check out Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. It’ll perk up even the most champagne-hazed face!

BF

BF Asks: What is your perk-up lip color of choice?

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Hannah D? She’s such a rebel!

Posted on February 20, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

So this past Friday, I was in a great mood and was almost skipping at The Grove after seeing Silver Linings Playbook. I celebrate on Fridays. In fact, I call them Friday Fundays!

But I digress. I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon writing with a glass of Cab Franc and some swiss fondue accompanied by green apples and broccoli at my fave Grove hangout, Morels. A free Friday afternoon is an exquisite luxury to me, folks.

As I wandered into Morels, I spotted a gorgeous hostess with the most strikingly seductive lipstick I have ever seen. All at once I thought of what it would be like Bond girls and vampire goddesses in Anne Rice novels procreated. That’s a good thing, y’all.

Hannah D: She's such a REBEL.

I walked up to the hostess, gave her my card and asked if I could feature her as this week’s WWW girl. She said yes and that she was honored.

BF: What’s your name?
WWW: Hannah D.

BF: And tell me what divine lip color that is? Who makes it? What’s it called? Where can I get it? Like yesterday!

WWW: MAC Rebel. I love it.

BF: How did you find this lovely lip?

WWW: This is terrible but I love trying on all of the different colors at MAC across the fountain right before work. I get to try a new one every time I work!

BF: Terrible? Pashaw! That’s both fabulous and BRILLIANT! Kudos, my fellow lipcolor-loving new friend!

And, beauties, that is how our WWW girl today, Hannah D, can teach us how to bring a little beauty into our lives every day by making the most of the moment and the location.

xoxo,
BF

BF Asks: Are you our next WWW girl? Email me a pic with your must-have makeup love. The kind that inspires people to ask, “Whatcha’ wearin’?”

Drugstore Cowgirl: L’Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Lilac Ever After

Posted on February 7, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

My-oh-my, do I have a treat for you today! L’Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain.

L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Lilac Ever After ($9.99)

One of the most perfect lip colors I have ever had the privilege of applying. Perfect when worn with a smoky eye, a full face of makeup – or best yet – all on its own on your naturally pretty face.

The best part? I wasn’t expecting this darling discovery. It came out of the clear, blue sky in a glorious gift bag at an HBO-L’Oreal party at the Four Seasons a few weeks ago after I had just gotten over that terrible flu.

The morning after the party, I had to run over to Anthropologie in Beverly Hills to pick up a dress. I grabbed this out of the gift bag and thought, “Why not try?”

L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Lilac Ever After ($9.99)

I mean, I had no makeup on, my hair in a ponytail, the flu was still holding my spirit captive a bit and I was pretty sure that nothing would make me feel prettier.

I was wrong. I applied with the wand applicator not exactly sure what this lip product was. It went on as a liquid but after it dried a second, it felt like a gloss! Interrresting.

Then, as I was driving, I looked up in my rear view mirror and – with the pretty lips catching me off-guard – literally said out loud, “That is gorgeous! Wow!”. As a beauty blogger, you don’t get surprised like that very often. But, oh, I did!

In my rearview mirror: Shine on!

Swatches of L'Oreal Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Lilac Ever After ($9.99)

Now, it has become my go-to for gorgeous before I head out the door. I’ve decided to keep a tube in my car for emergency glossing situations.

What?
It’s a thing.

Formulated with a blend of light hydrating oils, concentrated pigments and packed with 30% water, my lips stay moisturized and the glossy color wears on for hours.

Whenever I put it on, I can’t help but think of Jaclyn Smith. The lilac-influenced nude shade looks like my lips…only better. And oooooh-so-natural! This is what you want early in the morning, on that camping trip, in class with your crush, on that “casual” date where you want to radiate natural beauty without being totally au-naturel. You know? “Natural”.

I’m telling you now. You’re gonna thank me for turning you onto this one!

xoxo,

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Vanessa F.?

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Vanessa F.?

This week’s chic & sophisticated WWW (Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday) girl is Vanessa F.:

Our WWW girl, Vanessa, at the Young Hollywood Awards

I met the lovely Vanessa, a director of brand development, at last June’s Young Hollywood Awards and was immediately taken with her sweet holiday/summer, cherry-stained lip. So I immediately had to ask:

Vanessa, Whatcha’ Wearin’?

New Product I’m Loving: Vani-T 3-Step Sexy & Sweet Nude Lip

Posted on August 10, 2012 by BeautyFrosting

I love being the bearer of good news!
Especially when it’s good news that involves introducing you lovelies to a new brand!
Well, it’s not exactly “new” but it’s new to me and I bet it will be new to some of you too.

I was recently introduced to Vani-T Mineral Cosmetics by a few friends in my office.

Besides my trusted friends, many other “famous friends” love to be vain with Vani-T: Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham, Rhianna, Cameron Diaz, Claudia Schiffer, Denise Richards, Kim Kardashian and a list that’s just too long to mention here!

Usually, I’m a little skeptical of mineral makeup. I think of layering and swirling and blending and brushing and tapping and by the end of the directions, I feel like people are exhausted and look like they have copious amounts of makeup on. Cakey for a cake=Bueno but cakey for a face = No Bueno.

But this is not the kind of mineral makeup that Vani-T bakes up.

It’s eco-glam as it’s cruelty-free (no animal testing), paraben & mineral oil-free and really, free of anything bad for you. In fact it says no to everything except the good, organic stuff our skin and bodies needs. Isn’t that nice for a change?

Imagine my sweet delight when I tried Vani-T for the first time and found myself looking into the mirror thinking, “Whoa! I’ve got Angelina Jolie meets Kim Kardashian lips!!”

Vani-T sweet & sexy lips!

By the way, as a single lady, that’s a GOOD THING. A sexy thing! Whether you like or dislike those ladies, I don’t think anyone can say they’re not sexy.

Especially since those gorgeous ladies are embraced by Brad Pitt and Kanye West.

So I’ll take it!

If you want those gorgeous Kim Kardashian meets Angelina Jolie lips, I highly recommend you try the BeautyFrosting 3-Step Vani-T lip.

Vani-T Lip Swatches

1 ) Vani-T Lip Definer in Nude: I love a good bronzey nude lip liner. And this one defines, is blendable and looks natural. It preps the lip for the sex appeal ahead.

2 ) Vani-T Mineral Lip Color in Frisky Business: The neo-classical nude. A caramely, buttery beige that’s as moisturizing and smoothing as it is sexy. Infused with Vitamin E, Coconut Oil and Aloe Extract, you’re left with smooth, hydrating, longwearing lip color.

3) Vani-T Mineral Lip Glaze in Frisky Business: A kissable, peachy caramel nude that glides on the lips effortlessly. A faint French powder scent makes it even more indulgent. It is so UBER-hydrating – so much so that we were shocked – that your lips actually FEEL BETTER after wearing it!

Another reason I love Vani-T lipstick?

It’s my favorite lipstick packaging ever.

Check out the super glam, girly crystal packaging.
It’s a lipstick fit for Marilyn Monroe! Or for those of us who like to feel a little more like Marilyn when we’re primping.

Fit for Marilyn: Crystal-encased lipstick by Vani-T

Here’s what I’m thinking, girls. This is the PERFECT gift for a bride, bridesmaid, graduate, birthday girl, mom-to-be or favorite glam puss in your life.

Just look how great this tube of Vani-T looks on my vanity:

Vani-T on my vanity

It’s a glam gift that won’t break the bank!

And is there anything more gorgeous than that?
