This should come as no surprise seeing as how she’s pretty much the most beautiful woman in the world, but Aishwarya Rai looked positivly stunning at the Cannes Film Festival this past week. The gunmetal eyeshadow and taupe lipstick suite her skin perfectly. And it also makes me jealous cuz I wish I had he face!

The Mermaid look is taking over this summer, and I couldn’t be more excited! I literally squealed when my copy of the Sephora catalog came in the mail and I saw the sea of deep blues, shimmering greens and luscious purples that awaited me inside.



I stopped off at my local Sephora today to see if these beautiful make-ups were as awesome in person as they were in the pictures, and I walked out with $200 worth of stuff. So the answer would be yes. What siren inspired goodies filled my bag you ask? Lots of eye shadows – my favorite being a teal hue by Urban Decay – bronzers, lip glosses and several shades from the OPI Mermaid inspired nail polish collection. By the way, those may be the most gorgeous nail polish colors I’ve ever seen, and at $9 a pop it’s a pretty good deal. I most definitely will be reviewing these, my toe nails are actually drying as I write this so it should be along shortly.

If you’re really in the mood for a good deal, I suggest picking up one of the mermaid inspired kits they have available. It’s a great way to get everything you need without spending $20 here and there. Two Faced is offering a gorgeous shimmering green make-up bag packed with bronzers, lip gloss and mascara while Bare Escentuals has something similar, that also includes a fabulous set of eye shadows

So to celebrate the best make-up color scheme EVER, I’ll be bombarding you guys with a barrage of mermaid inspired reviews and tutorials. First up will be the OPI reviews, followed by not one, but TWO mermaid inspired tutorials!

Is anyone else suddenly in the mood to watch Splash, or is it just me?

I was just thinking about my little brother and wondering what he looks like in heaven, when this song came on the radio. I got the message Jerry, and I can’t wait to see you up there someday <3



Oh ya, I’ll blog about the make-ups tonight I promise. But for now just let me enjoy this warm fuzzy feeling =)

This sexually charged R&B masterpiece conjures up two hilarious memories for me:

1- My dad forbidding me to have this song at my Quinceañera, then me storming up to the DJ and throwing a hissy fit until he played it anyway.

2- A very recent 2am backseat sing-a-long on my way home from a San Francisco burlesque show with the gang.

Wow. My life is…weird.
