Purple Eye Shadow/Liner Pretty Perfect For Spring


Keep it colorful, ladies!

At the recent Grammy Awards show, sexy celebrities were wearing green across their lids.

And now we have another jeweled gem shade----Purple. Put on purple eye shadow or liner this spring, and you will look pretty perfect.

Keep it simple with a great nude lipstick and subtle blush, and you're good to go!

The purple is happy and brightens you whole look.

And here are how the makeup pros find your perfect purple:

FAIR/Light Skin Tones. You look lovely in soft purple.

OLIVE/Medium Skin Tones. You can rock lavender with shimmer and even pink-purple shades.

DARK Skin Tones. You can go for the vivid, bolder purples.

We found some pretty purple shadows here at Everyday Minerals. The shade in the photo is called Art Girl ($7.00).

Jen Aniston Chops Off Trademark Locks After Babs Streisand Copies Her Long Do?!





OMG!! Jennifer Aniston, what have you done to your gorgeous signature locks??!!

It has taken us a couple of days to mull over this one. First, let's look at the hair facts:

1. Jen has recently turned 42-years-old.

2. The former 'Friends' star has been out promoting her new movie, 'Just Go with it.' And it was there in Spain, that we all caught sight of the new Jennifer Aniston do. The actress appeared on the TV show “El Hormiguero” Feb. 22, 2011 in Madrid for her new movie, with the new blonder, long bob.


This haircut looks similar to the one she got while married to Brad Pitt. And briefly after that shorter do, the golden couple had announced their divorce. Ouch!

Look at Ashlee Simpson. As soon as she rocked that cute, very blonde pixie cut, she and Pete Wentz announced their impending split.

So, what's that have to do with a new hairstyle?

In our humble opinion, plenty. Most women do NOT chop off their hair for little reason. When you're losing at least several inches, there is an explanation for it. Jennifer Love Hewitt had hers cut into a similar long bob, after breaking up with Jason Kennedy.

Then, a new and very different haircut means there is change of some kind on the horizon? Yes, we seem to think so. Maybe turning 42, has given the popular movie actress some new thoughts on where she wants her life to go, and so forth.

We also think that the mere sight of legendary singer Barbara Streisand performing at the recent Grammy Awards 2011, wearing a copy-cat long hair Jennifer Aniston do might have something to do with it.

Jennifer had done a photo lay-out several months ago in Harper's Bazaar, dressed to look like Barbara Streisand, whom she admires greatly. The photos were beautiful, and Jennifer Anistonreally resembled a young Barbara Streisand.

The famous singer was quite impressed with Jennifer and the wonderful photo tribute So much so, that Babs has been trying hard to look exactly like Jennifer Aniston these days. Just look at the photos of Babs trying to rock the golden trademark locks of the former 'Friends' beauty.

Are we on to something?

We're not crazy about Jennifer Aniston's new long, blonder bob. It just doesn't look right. The color is to bright, the style not as attractive for her strong jaw, and pretty-girl-next-door looks.

We're baffled. How about you?

Gwyneth And Jessica Flying With Long Feather Earrings Trend: How About You?



Another hot trend in 2011----long feather earrings!!

You either love these sexy, birds-of-a-feather chandeliers, or you really don't.

We happen to love them, but then again, we've never met a pair of chandeliers we didn't like.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Biel are just two of the lovely celebrities spotted flying with this earrings trend. Gwyneth rocked these hot pink feathers by New York City-based designer Wilfredo Rosario at the recent Grammy Awards show. These neon beauties featured white gold, diamonds, pink tourmaline and couture feather earrings from his Fall 2011 Collection. We thought at first, that Gwyneth merely had a few pink-colored extensions in her hair.

Jessica Biel wore a much quieter color of long feathers with her casual look. Very nice.

It's a Native American style, and we have always admired the beauty of the culture.

We fell in love with these super long feather earrings. Check out the photo below: These are gorgeous. Of course, you shouldn't wear them at the office, but these feather earrings definitely make a fashion statement. And these chandeliers are from the Faerie-Tails online shopping site.

The Faerie-Tails artisan Whisper Decor, hand crafted these in Chicago, and shares a portion of the proceeds with non-profit organizations. Gotta love that.


These Violet Sky feather earrings cost $75. Take a further look here.
