Daily Style: Feathered Sandals

vivresandals

Look how gorgeous these feathered sandals are.

Of course, they’re not very practical for my lifestyle but that doesn’t mean I love them any less.

With guinea hen feathers, snakeskin, Napa leather and a galaxy of gemstones encrusted on the upper, every summer outfit will instantly become special with these on your feet. Just don’t get them wet!

Bo’em Feathered Sandals are available online at Vivre.com.

hannah-montana-giveaway

We’re having a VERY SPECIAL giveaway here at Makeup Bag this week and Janey is not happy about it.

Thanks to our friends at P&G, we’re giving away a gift bag of the whole line of Hannah Montana products, ranging from Olay Rockin’ Blossom Body Wash to Secret Rock Star Deodorant.  Here’s what is included in the giveaway:

  • Herbal Essences “Drama Clean” Berry Tea and Orange Flower Shampoo/Conditioner
  • Olay Foaming Face Wash
  • Olay “Rockin’ Blossom” Body Wash
  • Oral-B/Crest Toothbrush and Toothpaste Combo Pack
  • Secret “Bella Bloom” Scent Expressions Deodorant
  • Covergirl Wetslicks Lipgloss in four shades –  Crush, Tutu, Patently Pink, and Shimmershell
  • Covergirl Nailpolish in four colors: Pink Taffy, Pink Twinkle, Fuchsia Girl, and Disco Dazzle

Watch this video of Janey as she attempts to show you her favorite Hannah Montana nail polishes and lip glosses (BEWARE: she’s apparently hopped up on Lays Stax Chips and a bit out of control) but the best part is right around the 1:40 mark when she realizes there’s a giveaway involved and she’s not in on it. Hilarious!

Leave a comment here and a winner will be randomly selected on Thursday, May 21st. Contest is open to citizens of the US and Canada only (sorry international friends!). Feel free to enter as many times as you’d like.

Good luck!

Keeping Up With Kim Kardashian’s Lips

kim-kardashian-lips-copy

Every beauty girl I know is at least slightly obsessed with the perfection that is Kim Kardashian’s makeup.

Flawless skin? Check. Mile-long lashes? Check. Smoky eyes, just-pinched cheeks, glossy lips? Check, check, check. Let’s face it: the girl is a rare species, but she sure knows how to work the lipstick trends.

While Kim’s signature look is a nude or pink lip, she looks quite amazing with bold berry or bright red lips. I have to admit my favorite look here is the MAC Ruffian Red lipstick Kim’s wearing in the top right photo. Gorgeous!

For lips like Kim Kardashian, try these tips:

  • Pick an opaque shade that’s not too sparkly. (Kim usually has a smoky eye situation that refuses to be upstaged by some sparkly lipgloss!)
  • Line and fill in lips with a lip liner before applying lipstick for lips that will last all night long.
  • Top with a hint of gloss just on the bottom lip to add fullness.

What’s your favorite Kim Kardashian lip– nude, pink, berry or red?

Kim’s makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic just started his own blog where he details all the makeup looks he creates for Kim Kardashian. Check it!
