Do you want to master the glamorous, sultry look of old Hollywood movie stars? We took inspiration from Marilyn, in an attempt to create a smoldering style that is still suitable for the PTA or park. So, how can you get an appropriate (but still gorgeous) look in just a few minutes? Watch this video (or try these products!)
Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera have gorgeous, throw back makeup. You can get a similar style…
This kit includes 12 brushes (everything you need to apply makeup to your face, lips, and eyes). It has a Powder Brush (with natural bristles to apply powder to your face and body), a Foundation Brush (great for applying liquid foundation or moisturizers), a Duo Fibre Brush (allows you to get that airbrushed finish), and even a Large Angled Countour Brush (great for blush or shading). But that’s not all! It also has a Concealer Brush (ideal for precise application on under eye circles or pimples), Medium Angled Shading Brush (wonderful for dark and light shades on your eyelids), a Small Angle Brush (use to fill in eyebrows or apple eyeliner), and the Large Shader Brush (flat brush that’s awesome for cream eye shadows or primers). And last but not least, the handy Pencil Brush and Tapered Blending Brush can create a flawless smoky eye, while the Eyeliner Brush and Eye Shading Brush help you refine the look even more. Who knew there were so many ways to seamlessly apply your makeup?
What better way to create an Old Hollywood look, than to steal inspiration from some of new Hollywood’s finest! The gorgeous, rich shades in L’oreal’s new Star Collection is personally hand picked by celebrities like Diane Keaton, Beyonce or Kate Bosworth. Personally, we love the “Diane’s Tubberose” shade shown in this video, but colors vary from a deep, bold plum or bright, crisp red (all ideal for perfecting the right lip shade for your movie star look).
And I made the mistake of applying this shade for fun before going to bed (just to try it out), not realizing that it won’t just wipe off a moment later. L’oreal’s long lasting lip colors aren’t playing around. This shade would have taken me through a day of coffee, cocktails (and hopefully more coffee and cocktails), without fading in the slightest. It truly was so impressively infallible, that I wanted to show it to everyone I know!

Need tank top inspiration? Let these picks (and cute mommas Ashlee Simpson and Naomi Watts) help out…
The Trend: Cute tank tops!
It has gotten so unbearably hot lately that getting dressed (once a favorite past time) has now become a burden. It is simply too hot for clothes… even cute clothes! It seems like tank tops are now more of a necessity than an option, because even the lightest of fabrics grow heavy on our shoulders in this heat.
Unfortunately, I recently that my old tank tops were far too drab for this season (like so many of us). Summer means fun and relaxing, not boring grays and blacks (I’m yawning just thinking about it). Here are some of my favorite tank tops (which I’m hoping to buy soon).. And guess what? All the tank tops featured here are just $10 at Urban Outfitters (you can’t argue with that!)
This tank top is so thin that it’s almost invisible… which is exactly what I want it to keep me cool in this brutal summer sun. Sporting adorable stripes and an uneven hem, it’s easy to keep cool and stay cute. Plus, this piece comes in white, which also keeps you cool.
Whenever I see a pair of happy birds flying together, I immediately think of Cinderella and the singing larks that helped her clean her room (and if you have kids under the age of five, you’re likely thinking of the same thing). Even though singing, cleaning-savvy bird have not been invented you, you can sport this light and fun trend on your tank. I love the symmetry of this shirt and the delicate simplicity of it. Sometimes, a black and white piece makes more of a statement than a hot pink number (while keeping you just as cool).
Now, I’m not exactly sure what “slub peplum” means, but I reckon it doesn’t matter with a tank top as cute as this. First of all, the color is just perfect. I love the rose hue on almost any skin color. Second, the bottom tier ruffle is just enough to be cute (and not childish). Third, the straps aren’t some flimsy spaghetti straps that will break the second you pick up your little one (and they can effectively hide bra straps). And to top it off: it comes in three colors (rose, black and white)!
