Ambi SkinCare

Achieving a “Glow” with Ambi Skin Care

I’m sure you all have seen the Ambi Skin Care commercials with America’s Next Top Model veteran Bre.

To be honest, prior to watching the tv spot, a year ago, I had never heard of Ambi. But, after viewing the commercial, and noticing the products on the store shelves, I began to wonder if Ambi could give my skin a “glow” like the spokeswomen in their commercials.

I recently had a chance to give the skin care line try. Will the line slated for women of color help me achieve my sought after TV “glow?” I sure hope so :) ! Check out my review of the products below.

Milani Classy Nude Lip Stick

Milani Classy Nude: My New Everyday Lipstick

As I get older I find myself wanting to wear more lip stick and less lip gloss.

I’m not sure if it’s actually the “age” thing or if I’m really just into lipstick. But, nowadays I can’t walk out of the house with smearing on a tube of color.

But, alas, there’s a slight issue. The majority of the lipsticks I own are bold. I’m talking hot pink, bright fuchsia, even my toned down colors aren’t really toned down.

After Smashbox Makeover

“Bold Spring” Makeover with Smashbox & Ulta

Yesterday evening I made my way over to Ulta to partake in their 21 Days of Beauty. As luck would have it, it was “Smashbox Day” and I was one of many recipients of a free makeover.

To being my transformation Ulta make-up artist Kristia asked me about my skin and what look I would like to try. Having no place to go, but home, I told her to do as she pleased.

OPI Are We There Yet?

“Are We There Yet?”: Bright Nails for Spring

It’s no secret that I am ready for Spring. So, in continuation with my philosophy of “if I wear it (bright colored nail polish) Spring will come, I have a new hue to showcase.

OPI’s Are We There Yet?, such an appropriate name for my current season anxiousness :) , takes the color orange to another level.

It’s not an over the top Halloween orange; rather, the hue is soft with a light shimmer

Normally, I would shy away for polishes that contain a bit of shine; I’m more a a matte color girl myself.

OPI Guy Meets Gal-Veston

Longing for Spring: OPI Guy Meets Gal-Veston

Atlanta has had some Spring like days, 65+ degree weather, bright sun, a cool but light breeze. Just enough to make you think it’s time to pull out your flip flops.

But then, all of a sudden, bam; it’s 30 degrees the next day with a high of 50.

I am ready for Spring! I’m over these teaser days; the ones that make me think it’s ok to leave the house without a jacket.

I want full blown Spring, flowers and open toe shoes.

A Million Kisses Lip Tint - Lush

Tips & Tricks for Kissable Lips

Ok, so Valentine’s Day has come and gone.

But, just in case you plan to share your love for the other 364 days of the year, you might want to make sure your lips are in top notch shape.

Here are a few tips from Pretty City on how to keep your lips “kissable.”

Treat
“You apply moisturizer for your face daily, you dab cream delicately under your eyes religiously, but the skin on and around your lips goes totally unattended. The first step on the road to oh-so-pretty puckers is to start treating lips daily with a product designed to soften vertical lip lines and prevent premature aging.”

Milani Bet on Red

Milani Bet on Red: A Continuation of My Love

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s February or that yesterday was Valentine’s Day but, I have discovered a new found love for the color red.

I think it started with Lush’s A Million Kisses Lip Tint; something about that ruby red hue screamed chic.

Naturally, given my new color infatuation, when I stumbled upon Milani’s Bet on Red in my Little Red Dress Beauty Bash gift bag I couldn’t help but share it with you.

Me, My Hair & the City: Inside My MakeUp Bag

My Survival Kit: Inside My Makeup Bag

The majority of the women I know tote around handbags: hobos, satchels and the like

Within these bags we transport everything from papers to cell phones, and sometimes even food. However, one thing remains constant in any woman’s purse. That one thing would be her makeup bag.

What I carry inside my makeup bag has changed over the years but the strategy behind what I put in it is still the same.

I view my makeup bag as a sort of survival kit.
