   On Friday, September 6, 2013, designers Mark and Estel, presented their 13th Collection at the Studio during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.  Their creations looked stunning and consisted with cascading, rocker integrated designs.

  The models wore mostly nude or natural lip colors and their cheeks contoured with peachy earth tones.  But on the catwalk, it was all about the eyes!!

     

  Recreate this super winged, cat-eye look with Alcone at Home's smudge-proofed, Perfect Eyeliner Pen and add definition and contour to the eyes with black eyeshadow in #9.

   Of course voluminous false eyelashes were in play on the runway! But you can achieve long and glamorous lashes with this combo.  Apply a coat of Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash Mascara Waterproof Black.  While the mascara is still wet, apply Alcone's Fast Lash Eyelash Extender to the tips of your lashes.  Apply a 2nd coat of Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash Mascara Waterproof Black.  

Finish this look off with a natural lip and cheek color for your skin tone!

NY FASHION WEEK SPRING 2014 COLLECTIONS: MARISSA WEBB INSPIRED LOOK

On September 5, 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Studio, Korean American fashion designer, Marissa Webb,  unveiled her Spring 2014 Collection on the runway.  Her alluring designs comprised of shiny fabrics of both neutral and accent colors, shorter A-Line skirts and dresses that were structured but appeared comfy and wearable.  Check out the Official MBFW You Tube Video:

     Many of the models sported their hair down and parted to the side.  The makeup appeared to be simple but elegant.  The lipstick colors stood out as either a muted peach or pink and red. Their faces were noticeably well defined with a natural blushing to their cheeks.  The eyeshadows seemed to consist of light matte colors which brought out the colors of their natural eyes, which was visibly lined.  The eyebrows looked prim and arched.

         The entire runway show was an amazing sight.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and was immediately impassioned, hopeful to one day see it live.  But for now, I am having fun being inspired.

MY FALL MAKEUP LOOK 2013

      The first thoughts that come to mind when I think of a Fall Makeup Look, are the colors of fallen leaves of the trees in my neighborhood and the beautiful fall sunsets.  Fall season never fails to take me back to my childhood when life was much simpler.  With these thoughts in mind, here is what I came up with...

Check out the Alcone At Home Makeup Line to help achieve this look: 

Perfect Eyeshadows in the colors ONE, SEVEN & EIGHT.

Creamy Lipsticks in the color SIX.

From Summer to Fall Makeup

       

Fall in Southern California

       Oh my, I can't believe August is on the verge of ending and we will be in the month of September in just a few days!  2013 slow down please! I went to the mall the other day, and Halloween covered the shelves of many stores, along with sweaters and jackets, hinting that Fall is around the corner.  

   Since I live in Southern California, I know the weather change isn't going to be as extreme as other parts of the world, but it will be a little cooler;) 

    
    My Summer to Fall Make-up Transitions usually consists of the following 4 practices:

       1.   Matte Face:  During these last summer months, I have been all over BB Creams.  It's lightweight, has SPF, and covers most blemishes on my face.  BB Creams worked well with my skin this summer, but as fall is fast approaching, my face needs something less dewy and more matte.  I usually just add a powder to set my bb cream and/or foundation.  This one locks in my bb cream & keep my face matte.

      2.   Bold eyeliner-  I love to darken up my eyeliner in the Fall.  When the nights become longer,  I am more apt to wear a winged eyeliner.  A Cat-Eye is appealing to me, especially on a night out on the town;)

        3.   Red or Plum Lips:  I just love the look of dark red lips.  Red Lips remind me of Gwen Stefani.  Her Fall 2013 Apparel collection appears to consists of Plaids and dark colors.  Red Lips will definitely tie in with the upcoming Fall Fashion.  

4.  Fall color Nail polishes:   Time to put aside my neon and pastel polishes.  

My go-to Fall Nail Colors are usually black, gray, matte orange, and red.  

However, I am loving the color purple on nails for the Fall.  

Currently I am sporting black and an accent purple.

New Adventure: Alcone At Home

                        

     I would consider myself a make-up lover/enthusiast/fan/junkie.  I recently had the opportunity to become a part of the Alcone At Home Beauty Blogger Team.  I couldn't let this one pass me by.  Alcone is well-known among the beauty and fashion industry.  Many Makeup Artists are familiar with this company.  The lovely Ren, from MakeupByRenRen is a skilled and very creative Makeup Artist whom I have heard about this amazing opportunity.  She writes about her Alcone At Home Must Haves here. 
      Although I am not a Makeup Artist, I still enjoy wearing makeup and love to "play" with my make-up.  I wanted to share my Wish List/Must Haves from the Alcone At Home Line:

 Large Palette: 

             

 

    Organizing my makeup is key.  Without organization, I wouldn't know where everything was or what products I had.  This beautifully chevron designed palette will be able to hold all my necessities on the days I want to apply makeup.  This palette can hold my must haves shown below and still have space to add more to it later.  

 

 

 

Foundation:  Perfect Coverage Botanical Foundation in colors:  Gena Beige and Olive One

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concealer: Waterproof Complete Concealer and Primer in colors:  ONE, TWO, & THREE.  Mixing these colors can help me achieve my perfect shade. 

 

 

             

 

 

 

 

 

                           


                                           Blush: Perfect Blushes in FOUR

 

                            

 

 

 

                                                          Eyeshadows:  

Perfect Eyeshadows in TWO, FIVE, SIX and NINE                                                                                                                Creamy Lipstick in the lovely color FOUR

                           

 

 

    I am so excited to begin this new adventure with Alcone At Home with a team of very talented women.  I am fortunate to be able to work with the original Alcone Beauty Bloggers, Ren & Casey.  Casey, from beauty101blog, tells us about her Make-Up Kit Must Haves.  Blogging is new to me, but I have already learned so much.  I can't wait to share my thoughts, photos, lifestyle and adventures in just about everything beauty related.
