Whats in my Make up Bag

Posted on 21/04/2012 by AmOoNa

Am sure we all have big make up bags that has plenty of colors, shades, foundation. But rarely do we actually use them all on a daily / regular basis. Actually, I quite use very little make up on my daily outings / work. I really dig earthy colors (not a fan of colored eye shadow unless its an occasion). This is a sample of what you’d find in my make up bag:

1. NARS Brush #12

2. MAC Brush #263

3. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Jungle Red

4. NARS Eye Shadow Duo in Bellissima

5. MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack

6. Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in #225

7. Benefit Moon Beam

8. Tweezerman Eyelash Curler

9. NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Heatwave

10. NARS Sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita

11. Tweezerman Tweezers

12. MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Fling

13. Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara

The Beauty Charts!

From golden glows to healing face masks, its time to bring a little glamour back to your beauty bag!

Radiant nails are this season’s absolute essential. I love this YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) metallic polish collection. Its delicate shimmer makes it al the more eye-catching!

Earth day may not have been something you participated in, but you can still do your part for the planet while pampering yourself! Talk about 2 in 1 offer. Buy a delightful Rare Earth Cleansing Mask.

I love this product, and always like the bronzing effect it gives the face. Guerlain‘s New Sun in the City Collection for Spring/Summer 2012 is not an exception. Now you can have your own pot of gold! A simple sweep of this bronzer over cheeks with a large brush and you’ll have sun-kissed skin in an instant.

Finally there is concealer which has all the correcting pigments in it, now instead of using different shades of corrector you can use 123 PERFECT concealer stick by BOURJOIS. This slick stick is the perfect solution to hiding those pesky blemishes.

Infusion di’Iris Splash is a truly intangible and unique fragrance that blends convention with modernity. It is a fresh and clean scent, a splash of opulence and novelty. A true beauty staple!

Kiss me … Am stylish!

“The Hunger Games” Screams Fashion (Part II)

Posted on 18/03/2012 by AmOoNa

Jennifer Lawrence joined her co-star Elizabeth Banks on the red carpet for ‘The Hunger Games’ premiere tour. Like I said in my previous blog, It was hard choosing a best dressed for the premieres as each star had her share of glamorous moments. When it comes to Jennifer, here is the skinny…

Jennifer Lawrence in Marchesa

The actress wore a Marchesa Fall 2012 dress, and I must add, looked quite glamorous in it. I like the dress better on the model though I just cant seem to point out what Jennifer is missing. Maybe the return of a yet again familiar hairstyle? Or the Pumps? She paired with a gold Ferragamo box clutch and Giuseppe Zanotti vibrant red peep-toes.

I’m far from being blown away, although I would not say that I dislike it.

Jennifer Lawrence stunned on the red carpet at ‘The Hunger Games’ LA premiere. The blonde beauty dazzled the crowd in a Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 gown. The gold gown with its cut-out details, its open back shoulder black tulle was indeed a stunner.

Jennifer chose black Jimmy Choo ‘Bunting’ sandals to go with her gown. But I do have to say, she has kept a memo of Angelina’s mistake and did not attempt any sudden moves to demonstrate her gown split.

Jen’s hairdo was a loose yet chic bun and tendrils to frame her face, I also loved her kohl sultry eyes and pink lips. I absolutely loved how she looked at this premiere!

Jennifer Lawrence in Ralph Lauren: The Hunger Games London Premiere

Jennifer sported the golden girl look once again at the London premiere of “The Hunger Games”. Her halter gown was hand beaded to create the perfect crocodile-skin pattern.

With a black-velvet waistband nipping her in at the waist, I liked that she chose to style her hair into a simple low ponytail.

I do have to say though, she still quite sends the same vibe as LA premiere which makes me question if it is a safe attempt for a fashion home-run or déjà vu?

Jennifer Lawrence in Tom Ford: The Hunger Games Paris Premiere

Jennifer finally decided to put down her gold for a sleek black Tom Ford fitted dress with a zipper detail outlining her open-back and reaching to her hip.

But I guess she is a huge fan of gold as she decided to add Tom Ford gold platform heels to her look.

I did like the touch of Red sexy lipstick.

I do prefer this over the all golden look on her! Its bold, risky, but surely a step in the right direction.

Well after talking about both stars, I think I will say I enjoyed Elizabeth Banks’ fashion decisions more. Her dresses showed variety, color, personality and some risk! Even if you are touring over the same movie, you need to shake things up a little. I do believe a person needs to choose what looks good on them but lets be serious, Jennifer Lawrence could have pulled off anything with that body and her looks!

“The Hunger Games” Screams Fashion

Posted on 18/03/2012 by AmOoNa

March 23 will mark worldwide release for the film adaptation of Suzanne Collin’s young adult novel “The Hunger Games.” However, for us fashionably driven girls, we have had our eyes on all the bits and pieces happening anywhere close to the red carpets. I must say, weather I talk of Elizabeth Banks or Jennifer Lawrence, I simply cant make up my mind as to which wore it best at the ‘The Hunger Games’ promo tour. But wait, bear with me, I can explain why!

Starting with Elizabeth Banks.

Elizabeth Banks In Bill Blass: The Hunger Games London Premiere

The actress wore a citrus hue opting for tangy lemon Bill Blass Spring 2012 dress. Her look here can definitely brighten up any occasion.

She matched her lovely dress with matching Judith Leiber ‘East/West’ crocodile clutch and Irene Neuwirth pearl-drop earrings.

I personally love her choice of wavy locks and simple pink shaded makeup. On this occasion I’d prefer Elizabeth’s dress over just about anybody!

Elizabeth Banks in Marc Jacobs: Hunger Games Paris Premiere

I love sequins! I love floral embellishments and I with no doubt love Marc Jacobs, but I just could not love this outfit. To be fair though,the Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 collection is quite tough to wear on the red carpet, and Banks’ did choose probably the most red carpet ready piece.

She also did quite well by not letting her hair down (this dress has enough going on already!) I still feel she looks a little dull.

Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab: The Hunger Games Berlin Premiere

Elizabeth looked stunning as she wore a fully embellished Elie Saab Spring 2012 orange gown to the Berlin premiere. Embracing color as she did at the London Premiere, adding more perfection with lovely glossy waves and makeup.

I know many prefer Jennifer, but with this dress, I would pick Elizabeth any day…

Elizabeth Banks in Atelier Versace: The Hunger Games LA Premiere

OH MY VERSACE! How could we not fall in love with this look! The Color, the design, the details … she is glowing. Elizabeth, with no doubt again, looked spectacular with this Atelier Versace bright orange structured one-shoulder mini dress (don’t forget to examine all the cut-out detail and gold accents – WOW)

The Jimmy Choo wedges are a good pick as they don’t attempt to upstage the dress. The Gold jewels were a nice completion to the look. I like her half up and straight hairstyle, but i think for added sexy appeal she might have wanted to go with a pony tail.

Elizabeth Banks

There you have it, Elizabeth Banks and her Hunger Games Premiere looks. In my next blog i will discuss Jennifer Lawrence and then maybe along the way I could actually make a decision regarding who I believe was the Best Dressed. You can help!
