Nail Flavor of the Week: MAC Light Affair

MAC Light Affair Nail Lacquer

This gorgeous creamy pale grey taupe nail polish from the MAC Cosmetics Love Lace Collection looks striking on my nails.

It has a slight lavender undertone yet appears vibrant and crisp.

MAC Light Affair Nail Polish

The only problem? This mani lasted just ONE DAY.

Bree and Bailey both warned me about the ridiculous cracking and chipping they experienced when they had tried this shade last week.

I was certain a good topcoat would remedy the cracking but no such luck. Oh well, it was pretty while it lasted!

MAC Light Affair Nail Lacquer is currently sold out on maccosmetics.com but might still be available at your local MAC store.

If you saw last night’s SAG Awards on TV, you must have seen Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks in her show-stopping red carpet gown.

Her red-carpet look was selected by voters at degreereddress.com and will be auctioned off at clothesoffourback.com, an organization that auctions off celebrity attire to raise money and awareness for children’s charities across the globe.

I had my own little SAG Awards soirée with some of my friends and readers in Kauai, Hawaii. The event was held at our Kauai restaurant, Kalapaki Joe’s where we enjoyed yummy appetizers, good wine, and great company.

Golden Globes Glamour: Fergie

fergie

Fergie’s look was luminescent at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Fergie’s long-time makeup artist Ronit Shapow created her look:

“Fergie’s styling team is very much a team and she is instrumental in the process,” says Ronit. “We all come to her with ideas in mind and piece them together (clothes styling, hair and makeup). She is an incredibly creative person with a strong vision so communication is easy.”

For the Golden Globes the inspiration was Fergie’s lavender, Grecian dress. “When she decided on this dress, I knew immediately that I wanted to use YSL’s Rouge Volupté #2 and Golden Gloss #10,” says Ronit. “I based the rest of the makeup look around the lips with balance in mind. We kept her makeup natural and glow-y; we love warm, glowing skin because it radiates youth and happiness. Also, as her makeup artist, my favorite part is accentuating her blue eyes with warm tones and a soft lip. The strong brow was a new look which came about on the set of a new music video which we just filmed. It looks great with her new, dark locks and adds a fun, fresh touch.”
