Miss America Beauty Blunders

 

Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron

It has come to my attention that I missed the 2010 Miss America Pageant! Sorry lovely ladies. Of course if I had watched it, I would have SOMETHING to say about the hair and make-up. Lets not forget the ATTIRE! First and foremost, the ladies who competed are all beautiful and inspiring. That being said, there are few things I would like to touch on!

EYE SHADOW: the trend for the past 2 years has been “less is more!” These girls definitely did not get that memo. I’m not sure if it was my bf’s large screen HD TV that made this so obvious to me, or what. But it was almost appalling! I always tell you ladies to enhance your natural beauty, NOT MASK YOUR “FLAWS” WITH TOO MUCH MAKE-UP!

Is it part of the the pageant culture to be HEAVY on the shadow?? We didn’t see any of that look at the Grammy’s...

What did you think of the beauty looks on Miss America? Are we all in agreement?? :)

Grammy Looks Breakdown

This year's Grammy's definitely did not disappoint! I could talk about the music and my opinion on who truly

deserved which award... but instead, lets talk HAIR, MAKE-UP, and NAILS!

Dear Miley, we appreciate you BEING your age! Your look for the Grammy’s was current and very age appropriate! Your slightly off center part is PERFECT for your face shape... lets keep it there! Oh and your make-up artist deserves a raise - thanks for NOT over doing it!

FACT:

Your part can make the proportions of your face look completely different! Play with your part to see what looks best with your features!

Taylor, you have been playing with this, “Old Hollywood Glam” look for a while now. Although you always look beautiful, we’d love to see something different on you! You could get away with almost any look! Just don’t ever change the STUNNING hair colour! XO

Lea, WE LOVE YOU! It isn’t a secret that you can often walk into LBB and hear the soundtrack of Glee over the humming noise of our blow dryers! Last night Lea showed class and elegance in her fun and flirty Grammy look!

This lovely lady is showing all of our predictions for make-up: heavy mascara, beautiful highlight and a soft and subtle lip! Looks a lot like Lift Cosmetic’s “Serene” lip stick! *On sale right now for $10.00! Come try it on!

Get the Look: Loose Waves

 

 

As Promised...
The infamous loose wave that I’m asked for atleast 3 times a day! Okay ladies, here’s the trick for at home!
 

Step One: Have yourself a nice hot shower after your dinner!
Step Two: Towel dry your locks.

Step Three: Take your brush/comb and toss it in a drawer!
Step Four: Spray your roots with Osis GLAMOUR QUEEN! This stuff will amaze you!
Step Five: Finger comb your hair (from mid-shaft to ends) with BUFF - also Osis! (Use a loonie size amount)
Step Six: Check your facebook, watch the bachelor, call your best friend. Ie. Let your hair dry naturally until it’s just damp!   
Step Seven: When you’re ready to tuck yourself into bed take 2 minutes section your hair into 4 quadrants. Loosely twist each section and pin them into loose buns!
Step Eight: Get yourself some sweet shut eye!
Step Nine: Rise and Shine, plus the pins out, and finger comb your dry hair.
Step Ten: Perfect the look by touching up a strand here and there by twisting it around a flat iron or large barrel curling iron! NOTE: Always curl AWAY from the face! Add some DUST IT (Osis again!) at the root, toss your head upside down, spray all over with more GLAMOUR QUEEN.... Scrunch with your hands, flip over and TADDA!!! You have tousled loose waves like all of the celebs!

Can't wait to watch the Grammy's and discuss the pretty hair and makeup trends!

Grammy Beauty Predictions

Grammy count down! T-2 Days... confession. I may not be watching the Grammy’s (or any award show, for that matter) for the right reasons!!! I LOVE THE HAIR, MAKE-UP and FASHION!

Of course I love the talent, but mostly I love seeing what the celebs look like on the red carpet. It gives me inspiration for when you lovely ladies come in! What do we expect for the Grammy’s?

My guess is that the beauties will be sporting all of the up coming trends for SPRING! (If only we Canadians didn’t have to wait so long to see some Spring weather!)

Taylor Swift Grammy look 2009

The Look:
Lips: A sheer lipstick, almost gloss-like. Try Lift Cosmetic’s “Crush".
Eyes: Heavy on MASCARA and loads of highlighting.
Hair: SOFT voluminous waves, all down, half up, low tousled bun. You’ll see it all!

Check back tomorrow for some tips on getting those loose waves!

What looks do you think celebrities will be rocking at the Grammy's?
