All I Want for Christmas
Posted at 08:21 PM

Even if Christmas is over, my wish list will never cease. As a normal mortal, my desires are endless and my wants (economically speaking) is unlimited. No matter how much precious stuff I have accumulated over the years, it will never be enough. There is always something new to "lust" over. Take for instance the MAC Fluidline.
There's always the traditional black or navy blue liquid liner, but wouldn't it be better to cover your lids with this rich bright formula? Just imagine meeting a cute guy over lunch and knowing how mesmerized he is with your eyes, your eye lids to be exact. You know he's just going to fall for you - at that one glance, thanks to MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet. In a dip-and-stroke of this on your lids, he just won't be able to take his eyes off of you.

Another "prettifier" I've been lusting over is the DuWop Lip Venom.
DuWop Lip Venom
This gloss gives your lips a stingy sensation seconds after application and voila! Plumpy and kissable lips are yours. This is simply a dream for women who want fuller lips. It was even featured in the February 2005 issue of Lucky magazine and quoted as "something that attracts a little romance."

This product I've been eyeing for months - Nars Blush in Orgasm.
NMOF6_C778A
It's infamous name makes up for its performance. A sheer and natural shade that gives an I'm-inlove flush. Something you'd want to have everyday. Best used with a pony-haired brush.

I was very lonely one shopping day because I couldn't find the perfect gift to buy, suddenly this shows up. 
Paris Hilton and Cuffz Bag
Cuff bag was seen on the arms of Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz, Brittany Murphy, and Ms. Hilton herself. A brilliant invention! 

Just what you need to spice up a blah outfit:

A gold necklace. Perfect for spicing up a plain-jane look or sporting a boho look. Looks great paired with a white spag tee, a denim mini, strappy sandals with a hint of gold, and a wristlet. (photo of gold necklace from shopcrazy.com)

I wouldn't mind receiving any of these too
Chanel Metallic Double Flap Handbag
Hermès Kelly Bag
Versace Orchid and Shell Print Clutch
Versace Velvet Biker Bag

Every girl needs at least one of these bermuda shorts

Not only does it look slimming, it's chic at the same time. Aren't we lucky these were invented? It goes well with almost anything in your closet: your plain fitted tee, sleevless racerbacks, floaty top, and even an assymetrical gold bikini!

The woven straw cowboy hat was made for summer.
It's coolness personified. This hat instantly jazzes up your look. You must match it with your favorite jeans and you're all set to go.

I just have to have one of these (although I have no idea where to find it here). 
These tan leather open-toe sandals were built for walking. They're also built for boasting. It's Chloe and it's reminiscent of the man from the Bible. Where can you get that?

I want one of these.
Hand-molded glass ornament wreath, Garnet Hill.
It's not a bracelet or a necklace although I wish it were. These are actually hand-molded glass ornament wreaths. It can double as a curtain tie - it's like prettifying your curtains with a ribbon tie only it's $88 and you'd rather put it on your palm and look at it all day.

Who wouldn't want to light candles on these?
18kt-gold-plated candlestick with sapphires and labradorites, Alexis Bittar.
I'd sure be lighting candles nightly when I have one of these 18-k gold plated candlestick with sapphires and labradorites by Alexis Bittar. These are just jewels.

These funky sequined pillows are definitely not made for sleeping.
Fun and Funky Sequined Pillows
These look yummy enoughh to eat. Adds flair to a sofa or chair and comes in different flavors, I mean colors.

I need a study chair and I have my eye on this one.
Smooch Chair™
Pucker up and seat yourself comfortably on this Smooch seat. I sure hope it comes with my favorite shade of lip gloss.

I love everything about this.

The hot pink bed, the funky circular-designed comforter, the pink and lavender teddies, and the bright-colored curtains. This makes me want to be a little girl again.

And these looks would really compliment my new year ahead!

We should all take a cue from Jennifer Lopez' shopping attire. Young, fun, and fresh except for the platform sandals. They're not made for walking and shopping.

Joy Bryant heats the red carpet in this red number.


I want all of these gowns. If I had all of these, I'd be running of parties to attend. All these gowns are from InStyle's Best Gowns of 2005.

That's it for my wish list. One last thing though, I need a new look for the coming year. Hmm..

Tweak Thy Look
Posted at 09:10 PM

For the coming year wouldn't you just love to surprise everyone with a fresh, new look? Take a cue from some of these stars and I'll help you jazz up your style.

Why don't you:
 * Lighten your tresses? Check out Eva Mendes and Jennifer Aniston's rich light brown crowning glory with hints of highlights in different light and dark shades. This hair color is best paired with soft waves on the bottom of the hair and with natural makeup. Highlight the eyes by using mascara, try Maybelline's Full and Soft.
Brunette with Non-Brassy Highlights 
  
 * Try a layered long bob like Nicole Richie? This looks dramatic when lids are lined with a black liquid liner extending upwards at the tip of the eye. Try Lancome's Art Liner.
  Click to Enlarge
 * Go radical and cut your hair super short like Sienna Miller? Shoulder length dangling or chandelier earrings paired with an off-shoulder top will surely draw attention to your beautiful face. Try these shoulder-dusting earrings from Ebay.
Go for a Radical Change
  * Try natural-looking highlights like supermodel Iman? Any woman looks good with traces of summer on her hair in the form of highlights. It reminds people of the beach and summer parties. Best paired with clear and young-looking skin. Try Bloom's Purifying Cleansing Milk.
Natural-Looking Highlights for Dark Skin  
 * Try wearing red lipstick? Charlize Theron pulled of the look at the red carpet. Don this look at the New Year's Eve party at your friend's place or during a wild night at Embassy. Clarins' Le Rouge Lipstick has one of the richest berry reds you'll find.
Clarins Le Rouge Lipstick
 * Sport a fake tan like Jessica Simpson? Since summer is just around the corner, this is  perfect look without having to bake your skin at the beach. Everybody will wonder how you got that perfect tan, but it's a secret just between you and me that you only used Model Co's Airbrush Body Bronzer for that even tan.
Wavy Hair

Good luck ladies! Let me know if you've tried one of these. Surprise me, surprise yourself.
