Lets Get Nude!

The two biggest looks for lips this season are a bold sexy red and a soft, sensual, barely there nude.

Nude in fact, is never really out of vogue. A great selection of nudie lip shades make a fabulous base for your makeup wardrobe, but choosing the right ones can be a little tricky at times.

h.wood.beauty has taken the hassle out of finding a great nude shade by releasing their new line of 6 gorgeous shades, oh so appropriately called “Get Nude”.

 h.wood.beauty is an eclectic line of high fashion cosmetics, inspired by the super cool h.wood Tea Room (tucked in an alley off Hollywood Boulevard, the h.wood Tea Room is LA’s secret Wednesday night hideaway, where very famous faces join the super cool to sip “Prohibition teas” spiked with spirits).
All h.wood .beauty products are made in LA, and take their names from the City of Angels – street names, freeways, music venues, beaches, daytrips from LA.
Crazy cool, ultra hip, uber chic.

The Get Nude collection lets you find your perfect nude. The lipsticks are matte with moisture, meant to be layered together, or worn alone. The color pay off is fantastic, the staying power divine.

The six shades are each named for a local LA beach.

Malibu – a nude beige with a slight pinky undertone, very flattering to skin tone

Zuma –  a light coffee beige, very warm and beautiful

Newport – a beautiful pink beige

Topanga – a rich, mauve/tawny beige, the deepest of the 6

Laguna – a pale nude beige, like an autumn latte

Venice – a soft, pale, coral beige

All have a hint or warm vanilla caramel, just like the famous teas.

The best way to wear a nude lip is to apply it matte then add the simplest sheen. More tips tomorrow…

If you’re not in LA you can order these lovely nude lips (and their other beauty products) online

Ruby Wooooo

When beauty, nature, eastern mysticism and New York boho chic all come together the result is an edgy cool, modern and unique jewelry line called Ruby Kobo.

Yuvi Alpert, the back packing son of a diamond dealer, and Danna Kobo, jewelry designer combined their talents to create pieces that are neither too masculine nor too dainty, and not necessarily gender specific. Their pieces are intended to be layered, and easily manoeuvre  from  fashion day wear to glamourous evening wear.

Yuvi’s travels through South America and East Asia gave him a love of ancient eastern mysticism which features predominantly in Ruby Kobo’s deigns, where high quality materials such as rubies, diamonds and gold meet up with pave lined hasma hands, Tibetan masks and Tulsi wood beads.

Their intense attention to detail has made them a celebrity favorite, with a client list that includes Rihanna, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts.

Meet My New Love – Opal!

If you’ve been following this blog or watching my segments on SheknowsTV then you will already know that I am obsessed with my Clarisonic, and love skin care products that give you an immediate, visible result. (I’m not overly into waiting for months for a possible remedy.)

So imagine how excited I was when the two came together! The brilliant team at Clarisonic decided to target the eye area – the first place out faces show signs of aging, and created just for you and me, the Opal.

The amazing Opal Sonic Infusion System takes the already proven sonic technology and with a soft applicator tip delivers 7500 micro massages per minute, kneading a specially formulated 

PRO RT3 anti aging sea serum into the outer layers of the skin. In just one minute Opal hydrates, smooths, soothes and brightens the eye area, with results that last for hours.

You see an immediate result, the first time you use it. So technically, they had me at hello.

Opal visibly reduces fine lines, under eye puffiness and dark circles, drastically.

The anti aging sea serum counts as your eye cream, and with the sonic delivery system taking it deeper into the epidermis you see a level of hydration that seems to last longer throughout the day than other eye products do. 

The skin around the eye area glows, looks radiant and over the course of a couple of weeks I felt it was much firmer too.

Personally I see a huge difference in how makeup goes on, how well it wears, and how well it lasts since I started using the Opal. Typically the first place that your makeup starts looking icky is the under eye area, but with the Opal the skin under the eye stays so much more hydrated and firmer, that at the end of the day under eye makeup is still looking smooth, balanced and new. All of which make a girl look more youthful!

The Opal Sonic Infusion System comes with the anti aging sea serum and an extra applicator tip, both of which you replace as needed.

Love, love, love it!
