Events: QVC Holiday 2015

 

 

 

 

Yes, it's summer time and I know we aren't even thinking about the cold holiday season. But in the fashion and beauty industry collections are set seasons early for press previews and I love to see the upcoming products.  I was able to check out QVC holiday collections from their top brands in fashion, cooking + dinning, jewelry, home, tech, accessories and of course beauty. Check out the video coverage of the holiday collections debuting in the fall from Ellen DeGeneres, Isaac Mizrahi, Beats by Dr. Dre, BaubleBar, It Cosmetics and much more.

You get a great color scheme in this kit that includes a violet liner that can be dolled into a smoky eye, a light pink shadow that’s perfect for a natural look, a powerhouse fuchsia on the cheeks plus your look wouldn’t be complete without the berry cherry gloss. This kit also provides the tools to help you achieve that great beauty look.

Laura Mercier Limited Edition Lip Crayon $22

Lip crayons are a hit this season because its so easy to apply and it doesn’t take much practice to get the right look. The limited edition colored shades from Laura Mercier allows everyone to have a sensual lip pout my favorite of course is the Folklore (pink).

Laura Geller always brings the fabulousness in her collection with the most feminine shades that us women love. The baked blush is a mix of a raspberry pink and champagne shade that glows in shimmer, a brown and pink blend for the eyes topped with her drenched lipstick which is super smooth on the lips.

If you’re big on shadows you get 6 in this and the shades are popular for the fall season as well. Included is all over shimmer powder that’s good for highlighting and a bronzer but the shade may not work too perfectly on all skin shades.

Beauty: Your Go To Necessities

What To Have In Your Handbag

1. Bronzer

It’s great to keep a bronzer on hand, its light and gives you instant color and can be applied on the neckline.

Try: Silk Blush Bronzer Duo in Bronze The Night Away $7 this is great because it comes with a blush and adds that extra glowing power.

2. 2 in 1

Any makeup necessity that can do more than one beauty trick, you don’t have time or room so keep it simple.

Try: Argan Color Stick in Petal Pink $22

3. Rollerball Fragrance

Try: Vera Wang Princess $18 One of my favorite scents, totally worth splurging!

Limit Your Summer Beauty Look

The key things you need for your summer beauty look are the following

1. Oil control moisturizer with SPF

2. SPF Lip balm (with a tinted color)

3. Powder blush

Anything too creamy and shimmer will be a disaster in the heat wave, save those fun trinkets for the fall season.

Beauty: Face Of The Day

This Face Of The Day look was so fun because I got to try a few new products that I am loving. Hope you enjoy them as well.
Concealer: Bye Bye Under Eye It Cosmetics in Tan $24 I really don’t do concealer but for the last two weeks I am loving it and others are noticing. I didn’t think I really needed it but it does give a brighter look. Foundation: BareMinerals SPF15 Medium Tan $27. Eye Shadow: Flirt Cosmetics in Chocoholic $13.50 I had this for so many years I totally forgot how much I loved wearing it. Flirt Cosmetics was one of my first beauty brands, they have great products but can be a bit pricey. (Tip I also used the concealer as a shadow just underneath the brow bone).


Since I didn’t have my brows done for this beauty look, I used again Eyebrows: Josie Maran Argan Magic Brows Brow Marker + Brow Powder Duo $24 Mascara: Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill in Steel Black $30 I love this mascara but I applied it the way celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn did and it stayed on my eyes for a good three days, totally not a good look. I will never apply it that heavy again it looks amazing before hand but the aftermath was a bit much. Blush: MAC in Dame $20 Eyeliner: e.l.f Liquid Liner in Black $1 so easy for $1. Lipstick: Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipstick in Sunset Pink $29 I am so addicted to this lipstick, yes it’s a heavy splurge but I must say it feels really amazing on the lips you can actually feel that your lips are nourished. I totally recommend this shade and lipstick, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Hope you enjoy my Face Of The Day I loved it : )

Only the first top two shades were used 1. Deep Bronzer 2. White Frost Champagne.Mascara: YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils $30 I really only rocked this because the shade is lavender and I wanted to stick with the theme, but the gold packaging is the only thing I adore, if you get my drift. Blush: MAC in Loverush $30 (discounted try Dollymix) Love this, wish MAC brings it back!

Eye Brows: Josie Maran Argan Magic Brows Brow Marker + Brow Powder Duo $24 so since I am still growing my eye brows out I am back to using my favorite tool.
