I Love Gritter!!

Posted by daony | Beauty, Cosmetics, Fashion | Thursday 19 November 2009 3:29 am

The holidays mean shares in the coming weeks; we dig into our clothes perfect game.

Fortunately, in December of British Vogue has given us a way to make the suits best without breaking the bank.

Glitter!

Who does not love a little brighter? Instead of a handful of light make-up artist Lisa Eldridge, said that the eye must be “bold, simple and beautiful, with the rest of the face kept naked and natural.” This large version of the glitter looks best in shades of gemstones such as emerald or cobalt, and a block of solid color on the eyes instead of shadow or liner. We have noticed a handful of tracks ES10, like Louis Vuitton, Betsey Johnson, and Derek Lam and works well with liquid liner, pencil black sequins or loose glitter pot shape.

We especially love this picture to shake out of the corner of my eye, because the kind of screams “special occasion”. So let us try – even if sometimes glitter brings bad memories of our days, the Cheerleading and 90’s pop stars – because it is perfect for your holiday, birthday or New Year’s bash.

Worst case, you will have a little glitter in his eyes, but we believe it is a small price to pay.

Do not neglect to your elbows

Hands and Neck used to be the tell tale signs of aging no matter how flawless the face but thankfully we have many products and procedures to tend to those areas now.  So that just leaves the… elbows!?!?  Who woulda thought they’d like to hear a sound like a tale of our age or not?  Sagging, aging elbows show rings (like a tree!) and must not be neglected!
I’m staring at Posh and I am actually frightened for her and her entire family.  She is literally disappearing before our eyes, raise your hand if you think Posh is too skinny.  Yup, I knew all of you would agree.  I’m even thinking the saggy elbows are due to emaciation, not age.  No matter, one must not neglect the elbows.  Here are a few tips to keep the skin there taut and supple:

1. Exfoliate ! See more of her elbow looks really dry? A good chemical exfoliant like glycolic acid would do the trick.  Unlike the face, the elbows are not sensitive and can stand higher percentage of acid.  (Try biting someone’s elbow, I swear they won’t feel a thing!)  If you lack the resources to buy glycolic acid– cut a lemon in half, rub on to elbows, leave the juice and rind on there for 5 minutes, rinse.  I don’t recommend physically scrubbing the elbows too hard as you’ll just pull at the skin.  The acids are best in this case.

2. Moisturize! Again, people forget to moisturize the elbows.  If yours are as dry as your heels, I’d turn to my trusty solution for extreme dry skin– AQUAPHOR!  Eye cream is good too if you can afford to buy box loads of La Mer eyecream to rub on your elbows like Kimora Lee Simmons does. Get Aquaphor $5.99 here

3. Sunscreen! Yes, the elbows suffer from sun damage everytime you drive, walk outside or play tennis.  We put sunscreen all over our face and body but most of us neglect to protect our elbows!

Have to do it. Capture your elbows follow the instructions above and see if you see the difference in months.
