Mega Launch Takes Place Tommorow !!!!!!

With the launch of the highly anticipated Mally Signature Fragrance being one day away..

Do remember to check out QVC ( who was so gracious as to give me a free sample !!!! Thanks Guys !!! ;) ) launch tomorrow at 8pm on Color Cosmetics.

Also, check out this ultra cute message from Fabulous Mally herself :

Enjoy!!!

Animal Attraction !!!!!!!

I've always been a fan of animal prints, clothes, furnishings, you name it ..I've had it !!

I just love the MINX way of living.. its so versatile , and the best part is that its interchangable - sans commitment !!! Something very important in the age when "what's in" is out before you've had your lunch !!! Currently, I'm inspired by the golds, silvers, and the animal inspired nail creations by MINX just oh so SEXY !!!!!

Since we're on the animal topic, I'm just in love with the new Sultra Laser Irons !!!
These super cute irons in high gloss Zebra or Leopard (also comes in matte black and deco floral styles) only heat up to 370°F heat for consistent styling and less damage to hair - a feature I love , because so many of us "over abuse" our heat stylers - leaving our tresses fried and dyed . Like the MINX , versatility is attainable with these irons as well. One day you're stick-straight (runway inspired) , that same evening - you're wearing big romantic curls , all made easy with the Sultra Laser Irons !!!






For more information on MINX , and where to find a salon, check out : www.minxnails.com

Sultra’s Laser Straight & Smooth Irons retail for $145 (black) and $155
(patterned) and are available at Sephora stores nationwide, Sephora.com and
Sultra.com.

Sleek Hair Essentials

I'm just obsesseed with wearing my hair sleek and straight, or smooth with some textured waves, here are my current favorite products to achieve either look.

Sleek hair made easy with these products :
- Moisturfusion MILK BATH
- Moisturfusion SILK CREAM CONDITIONER

This Shampoo + Conditioner leaves your hair more than manageable , and it provides dry , and over processed hair ( heat - products , etc.. ) replenishment.

Styling tools to complete the look :

FHI Heat Holiday set
- Technique 1-inch styling iron
- Nano Weight Pro 1900

This set is a steal retailing for $199 !! with a savings of over $100 , the Nano Weight Pro smooths hair as it dries, and the Technique adds the sleek finishing touches.

Salon Worthy Nails Made Easy

Chinchilly ($8)

bright tights ($8)

These two shades from the current Essie Fall 2009 collection are my absolute fav!!!! Chinchilly , is a sleek concrete / grey hue that has been listed as one of the new trends in nail colors for fall - while bright tights , is a bright vibrant orange hue, reminiscent to the bright colored tights we wear during the fall/winter seasons.

As far as the application process is concerned....

Rada Pro Nail Station ($24.99)

I've tried this product out myself, and I must admit its very resourceful as much as it is fun!! Perfect for the polish applying - challenged, but also great for those of us who want to give ourselves the ultimate nail experience as well as precise application.
