I love red carpet season! The stars, designer dresses, hair, makeup…. ah I can’t get enough. Never did I dream that these looks were possible at home, but I was proved wrong after finding these look-a-like dresses at VERY affordable price points. Don’t believe me? Take a gander at the gowns Lupita Nyong’o and Jessica Biel wore at the Oscars next to the almost identical David’s Bridal gown.
Did you ever wonder how Juliette Barnes I mean Hayden Panettiere looks so flawless on “Nashville”? Well it turns out she has her makeup/bestie Amy Oresman to thank for her gorgeous glam and perfect hair. Luckily for us these two dropped some major beauty secrets…check them out at www.lifeminute.tv/beauty/video/hayden-panettiere-and-her-celeb-makeup-artist-launch-online-beauty-series
There is no doubt that this has been a hectic month! I have spent so much time shopping, decorating, and entertaining I that I’ve hardly had any ME time! Getting to the salon is so time consuming this time of year so I decided to give the Rowenta Inspiration Pro Auto Sensor Hair Dryer a try. Without having the time and energy for the salon my Rowenta gave me a great blowout that lasts all night. Ladies it’s time to look your best, strut your stuff, enjoy a cocktail and celebrate the holiday’s looking your best! Cheers!
Shout out to Anne and J-Law for scoring their statues!!! Thanks to these lovely ladies, we’re obsessed all over again with pulling off the confident glam look required to successfully strut with red carpet purpose. Bottom line? It’s all in the details (you know, the parts that DON’T break the bank)…
Wanna get leggy? Keep you pins looking’ smooth and tight — Hanes does sheer, opaque, lacey and beyond! They can also give ya’ the all-important lift from underneath (ComfortFlex Fit Bra? Best Supporting Garment — Everyone needs it.)
Dove has you covered in the locks department — keep your color all a’dazzle and tame your elegant waves with Color Care Daily Treatment Conditioner and Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. (And don’t be nervous about heading out sleeveless as many screen-babes have taught us to do — Dove literally makes a “go sleeveless” deodorant — check it!)
Sleeveless done right! Such a charmer… Jennifer Lawrence, we love you!
Really, the only thing left to do is put your best face forward. And how easy with bronzer, blusher, and stain a la sun kissed and glowy — Physicians Formulas Sext Booster Sexy Glow line averages under $14, and you can find it everywhere!
Another way to glow? From within. Anne was the picture of perfect poise at the Oscars
Folks, wanna feed your skin? Over here at AOP, we are loving the new USDA-approved organic skincare line from Nourish! It’s all about the three C’s — chemical, cruelty and concern free. From washes and polishes to lotions and body butters, we’re slathering on a steady diet of antioxidants, smoothers and soothers in some serious scent combos like Fresh Fig, Lavender Mint and Almond Vanilla. We can’t stop dipping into the shea-packed body butters for instant cuticle-split-end-Winter-elbow fixes — it takes the all-natural multi-tasker crown, fo sho. Dig the eco-pretty packaging, too! Stock up on the full range at Ulta, starting at a wallet-friendly 10 bucks.
Not just for your ears, ladies. I seriously use Q-tips for all things, beauty related. DIY manicures, applying eye makeup, lip stain…the list is really endless.
I did a polka dot mani the other day and the Q-tips were ESSENTIAL. Super cheap and always around the house, amaze.
