I am always on the look out for makeup inspirations.
I am also always on the look out for a man with Jon Hamm looks. Did you see him on Saturday Night Live ? I'd love me some Sergio anytime.
Back to makeup.
Its amazing how I can tie everything to Jon Hamm. Ham sandwiches - hmm hmm hmmm....
Back to makeup for realz.
Check out these gorgeous pieces of face art. Lemme know which one you see yourself wanting to try. Of course we'd modify it to make it everyday wearable. Here you go !
My #1 pick. I love the black +chunky silver glitter and the blues on the inner corner paired with red lips. If I go for this on V day I'll be patting myself on the back !
My second pick. The orange copper and black is an easy como but the messy hazy look gives it a strange and mysterious feel.
The gypsy look ! Lots of colors on the eyes and brown / bronze lipstick, the braids - the making of a free spirit !
Now this look - pale skin, bright red lips and some seriously winged eyeliner. Would you call it cruel aristocrat ?

Hey Guys !
Happy Saturday !
If you're gonna be home tonight at 7 PM EST check out QVC. Kyan Douglas - of Queer Eye will debut the HERCUT collection for the first time on QVC during the Beauty Newsmakers at 7 pm.
HERCUT is a new line of hair products which were designed to cater to the needs of the hair cut rather than just the hair type.
I've been using the HERCUT shampoo and conditioner for Dry Hair with long layers for about 2 - 3 weeks now. Some of the best hair days I've had - I tell ya ! I've experimented these 3 weeks with my hair more than I have probably in two years. Its so much easier to style when your hair is at its best !
I'll write a review soon but if you're curious check out QVC at 7 PM.

February 5th - today, is Go Red for Women Day. This national movement was founded by the American Heart Association as a way of keeping women aware of the dangers of heart disease.
And why am I telling you about this ? I am your beauty source not health source, right ? But I am also your friend & I wanted to share with you something I recently found out about cholesterol.
Apparently cholesterol is not something your dad should worry about.
Wait that's not right. He should.
But you should and so should mom, sis and friends ! My best friend called me a couple of days back and told me get my cholesterol checked. Of course I took a little offense !
Are you calling me fat ???????????
Coz you better not be calling me fat .
She wasn't. She had just found out her other friend was put on cholesterol pills and had strict orders from the doctor to keep it in check. This friend is 26 years old , female , vegetarian, works out every single day and is conscious of everything she puts in her mouth. Given all this, I'd think cholesterol was one thing she need not worry about ! May be its genetic ? May be not ...
Either ways, as women we must work towards keeping our hearts healthy no matter what the age . Visit your physician and get a check up done. Everything might be great and if its not, you'll be glad you took care of it sooner !
Aah haah. Done with health talk.
Now onto beauty. Given that its RED for women day, I'm listing out five of my favorite red products. You go on and list you fave five reds !
All My Red lipsticks ( Rimmel , Illamasqua, Julie Hewett)
Zoya America Nail Polish
Red Puffer Vest
Red Comforter
Red Bedding

One major reason to check the new Spring 2010 releases form Too Faced Cosmetics is the wearability of the products ! Everything from the pink tinted juicy berry lip glosses to the nude eyeshadow duos seem easily wearable both for work and play. The eye shadows have a matte formula which is a bonus for matte lovers !
Matte nude eyes + glossy pink lips = super easy glamor !
Love,
Indian Girl
