Twilight's Jane

So I lOvEd Eclipse and may have seen it twice =). I wanted to do a few looks from the movie and this first one was SO much fun that I can't wait to do more!!! My hubby was kind enough to make my eyes red in photoshop. How cool is that?!? What looks did you like from Twilight? What lines? Ooh me!! Ooh me!! (insert me with my hand raised as high as it can go in the air) How about,"Let's face it, I'm hotter than you." and "I kissed Bella, and she broke her hand, on my face." "Doesn't he own a shirt?" SO fun =). Hope you enjoy the tutorial!!!

Miss Ruby Sue

Meet the lovely Lori of Miss Ruby Sue!!! I have personally been able to work my magic on Lori and have had the opportunity to wear her amazing couture head pieces. Ladies??? They are to DIE for!!! I did a 1940's photo shoot of my and the boys for Father's Day (below) and Lori came through with all of our darling accessories. I always get tons of compliments when I wear anything of hers! Do you have a wedding coming up? A birthday? Senior portraits? Let Lori work her magic and give you just that extra pinch of sophistication and glamour. Without further adieu, let me introduce you to Lori and her story =):
Born and raised in Rexburg, Idaho, Lori is living her dreams to the fullest. Married to Chad Ward for 16 years, they are happily raising 4 beautiful children Kimball, Madison, Rilee and Kyler. Together watching movies, riding dirt bikes , motorcycling , swimming, laughing and jumping on the tramp to their favorite music have been some of the most memorable and happy times in her life. In 2008 with the help and encouragement of her husband, Lori pursued her career in design and started a small company, Miss Ruby Sue, specializing in custom hats, wedding veils, and women’s fashion accessories. Growing quickly and gaining national attention, Miss Ruby Sue took the fashion world by storm and was featured on Good Morning America, The View, The Today Show, and has since been featured in several national magazines, along with several celebrity clients as her customers, located all over the world.

But No matter how much fame and success Lori has accomplished, none of it compares to the love and acceptance she feels at home with her family. She believes that happy confidant women hold the keys to a strong and stable family life, and nothing else in life is more important that raising happy, confident children – and you can do it looking fabulous in Miss Ruby Sue couture!

Oh Canada Lippies!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians! I will be doing all things Canadian today including showing my country pride by wearing two of my favourite red lippies from Canadian brand Beaute Cosmetics!

Beaute Cosmetics Liqui-Gel Stains in Fever ($29 CAD): I've given these gel stains rave reviews on Makeup Junkie in the past. When I want a red lip that will last, I reach for Fever, a deep wine red that looks gorgeous on its own or as a base. These gels don't over dry the lips and give unbelievable depth when layered underneath a lipstick or gloss. It really has some serious stay-powering!

Beaute Cosmetics Luminous Volume Gloss in Urge ($26 CAD): You want some sexy volume? The husband likey! I haven't used this gloss in a while and I forgot how unbelievably shiny and pouty this gloss makes your lips. On its own, it's a sheer red but not a shy red! It's sheer enough if you're scared of reds but not shy enough to be noticed. It's a great shade of cherry that I love. I love layering this over Fever.

How To Wear Reds:

• Red is a bold colour but with the different textures and formulas you can find reds in sheer to rich tones. Choose one you're comfortable with. Stick with stains, sheer glosses and tinted lip balms for something more subtle. 
• For a summer red lip, I love pairing it with bronzing, glowing skin. Stick with bronze and golds on the lids, lots of mascara, and shimmering bronze cheeks. Lovely! 
• To avoid a red mess on the teeth, take your index finger (clean of course!), put it in your mouth and pull straight out. 
• When shopping for the perfect red, check the shade in natural light before purchasing. For pale skin tones, try a cool and bright cherry red. (Think Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga).
  For medium yellow and olive skin tones, give a warm-toned fire-engine red a go.
  For dark skin tones, try a berry colour or crimson red.

How will you be showing your Canadian patriotism and does it involve a red lippie? Have you tried these lippies? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Want 'em?

Celebrity Beauty: What Do You Think Of K-Stew's Lighter Do?

It's the eve of the highly anticipated Twilight Eclipse premiere so I thought a beauty story on Kristen Stewart would be fitting! Rave reviews of Eclipse have been buzzing all over Twitter so it's definitely on my to-see list! 

K-stew debuted her strawberry do for last night's Letterman appearance and I'm totally diggin' it. Her lighter locks make her skin look more peaches 'n cream and her eyes just pop so much more. Just days before at the L.A. premiere of Eclipse, Kristen still had her dark brown hair. I find her dark hair pales out her skin and the colour of her eyes just don't stand out as much.

What do you guys think? Love it? Hate it?
