Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.
- Gwyneth PaltrowBeauty Quickie: Remove Sand Easily!
Beach days are definitely here! A day of fun at the beach can be great for replenishing your energy, taking a refreshing splash in the salty water and letting your body absorb some healthy Vitamin D from the sunrays. The sand is also nice to lay on and feel under your toes. But…when it has to come off the body, it’s annoying as hell!
That’s why you should always take a mini bottle of Baby Powder with you when you hit the beach. Once you’re out of there, sprinkle some powder on the areas where you see and feel the most sand (usually the legs and feet) and the sand should fall riiiight off!

Revlon Metallic “Gold Coin” Nail Polish
I’ve been doing the natural thing (aka no nail polish) on my nails for quite a while now and decided to spice it up a bit last night. Honestly, I’m not huge on nails or nail art. A french manicure is all I need, if that! So I went for my fittingly small collection and marvelled at my Revlon Metallic nail polish #925 in “Gold Coin”, which I had totally forgotten I purchased a few months back.
It was a definite hit. Everyone at work kept asking me if I had gotten Minx, which was a compliment since I originally bought this nail polish trying to immitate the Minx nail finish. Here are some pix.

Sephora Daze
Going through some albums on my personal Facebook, I came across these oldies from my days as a Sephora make-up artist:
Me backstage wearing our notorious all-black uniform.
From left to right: Angie (me), Cassandra, Joelis and Corissa. On this day we had a meeting and decided to goof off after by acting like the true young glam squad that we were. Oh to re-live these days!
Red Lips Series: Celebs
Red lips are a secret weapon us women use to bring out our inner fox all while holding up elegance and glamour. I love red lipstick, there’s just something about wearing this shade that doesn’t compare to any other color out there. It just screams femininity.
Here are some celebs wearing different shades of red on their lips!
Adrienne Bailon
Angela Simmons
Alicia Keys
Gabrielle Union
Rihanna
As you can see, some shades are very warm (with a hint of orange) while others have more of a blue undertone which makes for a deep red (think strawberries).
Not every shade of red looks right on everyone, however, so stay tuned for a video by a popular online make-up guru that shows you how to pick your perfect shade depending on your skin tone!
