Cover Girl WetSlicks Amaze Mint Lip Gloss

My fellow fashionistas you guys know that I love lip gloss and I'm always looking for new flavors of the month with benefits. One of my pretty BFF's was raving about Cover Girl Wetslicks Amaze Mint lip gloss in plum crazy. This non-sticky glossy gloss is lightweight and packed with Crest peppermint oil to keep your breath super fresh. It also has blue based plum and pink shades designed to make your teeth look whiter. Yeah right, don't believe everything you read cause a lip gloss is not gonna make your teeth whiter. One thing I know for sure is Cover Girl Wetslicks Amaze Mint lip gloss does help you fight the dragon that is bad breath. For $5.49 it's a winner in my style book, so pucker up!

Serena Williams Bares It All For ESPN Magazine

Tennis superstar Serena Williams didn't need clothes to look mahogany glam on the cover of ESPN magazine. In the sports mag's first ever "Body Issue," Serena and five other sports stars that I've never heard of--go full monty. Serena looks phenomenal woman, cause all she brought to the shoot was her moulin rouge red lipstick and Johnson's baby oil gel. Absolutely incredible! I'm sure she's gonna have this picture framed albeit a life size version for her home in Florida. I totally would. ESPN Magazine's "Body Issue" is on newsstands this Friday.

Prescriptives Cosmetics Will Be No More

If you're a fan of Prescriptives cosmetics, as of January 2010 it's no more. I know a lot of fashionistas who swear by their custom blend foundations who'll be devastated by the sad beauty news. The cosmetics line designed for all skins and all women has hit hard times according to their parent company Estee Lauder. "After a thorough analysis of the Prescriptives brand, management concluded that the brand's long-term business model is no longer viable, given the current market environment." I used to wear their Calyx perfume back in the day and still used their night repair cream from time to time. Ugh...what's a girl to do but pray for a fire sale! All Prescriptives products will be available online while supplies last. My fellow fashionistas let's keep a stealth watch for extreme Prescriptives markdowns in the coming months.I'm bummed the line will be no more, but there's nothing wrong with stocking up!

Five Must Haves For Fall 2009

My fellow fashionistas hear me when I say it won't be hard this fall to dress to impress. Most of your fabulous summer styles you can carry over to fall. Leggings are still in...they've just gone all 21st century chic. From bold hues, crazy prints, to cool embellishments (think zippers and ruffles) is super hot. 

Jewel tones on just about anything will get you noticed this season! Plus it looks beautiful against our mahogany skin.

 

If you wanna be the talk of the town be wild in leopard this fall. The classic print is versatile and adds the right amount of sex appeal. Just don't wear an entire animal print outfit, you'll look desperate and dumb!

 

 

Skinny jeans like leggings are here to stay, but this season try them in rich colors or with studded details.

 

Large statement jewelry is just the thing. Don't be shy about wearing big bracelets, rings, cuffs, earrings. Don't kid yourself, size matters for Fall 2009!
