Update Your Look For Spring

Spring is finally here, and after a long cold winter there is no time like the present to update your look.

Here are 5 ways to Update Your Look For Spring

Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Its hard to look bright and alert if your eyes are dragging!
Wake up and enliven your under eye area with skynICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.

10 minutes under the eyes and you look bright and alive, depuffed and hydrated. Magic!

While we're on the subject of bright eyes, nothing draws attention to the eyes quite like a luscious fan of gorgeous lashes!
Paint wonder product LATISSE along your lashline nightly, and watch those lashes grow!!

Round out your eye with a beautifully groomed yet understated eyebrow.
The pale brows seen on the spring/summer 2011 runways are way too pale for most of us, but a constructed,

defined and well shaped brow will open the eye, and create an alluring dimension to the face.

Go all out on your lips!
If you are scaling back your eye makeup, spring 2011 is all about a gorgeous, bold, exciting lip. Look for a bright, fire engine red, or my favorite, a hot fuchsia.

The blue undertones found in MAC Something New and Cover Girl Spellbound make teeth look super white, and skin look bright and exciting.

Do away with boring old french manicures, and add a little vibrancy to your finger tips! Go for a bold pink, like OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em

or a coral jelly pink like OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston from their Texas Collection

Delicious Moments In Furs And Feathers

One of my favorite things is the Blogshelf app for ipad.
All my favorites are lined up there, and the list is long, but beyond fabulous!

One of my blog loves taking up prime real estate on my Blogshelf is Frozen Fingertips, a gorgeous study in images that I can scroll through forever.
I wish I could claim finding these next images myself, but they are in fact part of the Frozen Fingertips tumblr.

I think they are delicious moments in (hopefully but not likely faux) furs and feathers.
Enjoy!

Have you ever seen anything more lovely???

 I would love this!

Rihanna's New Fragrance, Reb'l Fleur

She's known for her glamorous, audacious, fashion-forward style, and now Rihanna will launch her first fragrance in Spring 2011.
“I believe a woman should dare to be different - willing to live her life for herself and not for other people,” Rihanna explains. “This fragrance is about my passion for individuality - being expressive and empowering, yes, but also emotional and intriguing. I promise you Reb’l Fleur will not be easily forgotten.” 

Fred Purches, Chairman and CEO of Parlux Fragrances, Inc. remarks: “Rihanna is a compelling modern figure in today’s popular music scene. She is strong and iconic while still being sexy and appealing. Reb’l Fleur will express her vibrant personality with a bold, luxurious harmony. This will be a fragrance that is timeless in its sensuality but youthful in its upbeat contemporary appeal.

Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Reb’l Fleur is as much in tune with Barbados-born Rihanna’s roots as it is with the glamour of her present life in New York City. Created by internationally renowned perfumers, Caroline Sabas and Marypierre Julien, this fruity chypre is joyous yet intense, sophisticated yet marvelously surprising. Plump, delicious fruits, red berries, purple plums and juicy, ripe peaches, make a delicious first impression. Then the heart opens intosumptuous florals, a passionate melody of Hawaiian Hibiscus flower, violet, tuberose and coconut water.
Defiantly sexy, the base notes linger, a beguiling, sensual mélange. Vanilla, patchouli, amber and musk become a sultry chorus striking an unforgettable, emotional chord.

THE REB’L FLEUR BOTTLE
The bottle is inspired by the shape of a stiletto heel - a favorite shoe option for Rihanna. Made feminine with a twisting matte black “ribbon” layered over precious metal, the fragrance appears to glow from within, suffused with a glorious golden aura.

Even more interesting is Rihanna's  video for the track S&M. Have you seen it yet??
Na na na na Come on!!
