1-24-13 Project Runway Season 11 Review

Hey guys! As promised, I am back with reviews for Season 11 of Project Runway!! Okay so I am going to start by addressing the teams thing. First of all, I would have been terrified and in battle mode when Heidi announced that the designers would be in teams for the whole show!!! As a viewer, I am not sure how I feel about it, although I did like the first episode. I am not a fan of the drama between the contestants in the normal version of the show. I watch it for the fashion. Historically, team challenges create the most drama between the designers because the designers have to work together in creating looks which causes a clash in styles, opinion, personalities and ideas. On Project Runway, "team" is synonymous for DRAMA. I feel like this season is going to have a plate full of it just by the nature of the fact that ever challenge is a team challenge. I just hope that the drama dose not take away from the fashion and the purpose of the show; to launch careers in the fashio

1-17-13 Project Runway All Stars FINAL Review

Hey guys!!! I am back with my final review of the season!! I just wana start off with a quick thank you to all of my readers who have been following this series!! I have had so much fun watching and reviewing this season!!! Even though All Stars is over, Project Runway will not be going off the air...so check back here starting next week for my reviews on Project Runway Season 11 Teams! **This review will not reveal the winner** Challenge: Each of the finalists will be making a mini collection. They could show as many pieces as they wanted and they got to choose one fellow designer to help them out. Uli: Uli chose Casanova as her helper. In true Casanova style, he took a bit of a nap on that sofa during the episode...it must be on comfortable sofa! Lol. Anyway, Uli's theme was Winter Wonderland. This theme did not surprise me at all since her stuff all season could be categorized as Winter Wonderland. The only difference was that this version of winter wonderland was a bit mor

Revlon Lip Stick and Lip Gloss Review

Lately I have been really into the Revlon Lip Sticks! My friend got me a few of them for my birthday last year and I loved them but I stopped using them over the summer and I just started using them again and fell in love with them all over again! Revlon is one of the best, if not the best, drug store brand for lip products. Their Lip Sticks are great as well as their glosses and I haven't gotten the chance to try out their Lip Butters yet but I have heard so many great things about them! What I love about the Lip Sticks is that they go one so smoothly and last so long! I rarely find myself needing to reapply my lip stick thought the day because it lasts through anything! It comes in so many different colors so you can really choose anything you want. I have two shades of pink. The first one is a light pink color. I like this one because it is a matte finish and just adds a little pop of color to your lips but basically keeps them rather natural looking. This is perfect if you hav

1-10-13 Project Runway All Stars Semi Final Review

Sorry Im a little late with this week's review...I had to think on this one for a while before I decided what I was going to say. Even though you have probably seen the episode by now, I will try my best not to give away anything just in case you are still behind. Oh and just a little reminder, what I say below are totaly my opinions, they are not necessiarly what they judges thought. So without any more intro, lets dive on in. Challenges: The designers were sent to Paris where they got to choose from fabrics in a fancy design house and they were so post to make Couture dresses like the ones they got to see up close in a fashion show. Uli: I actually disagree with the judges on this dress. I really liked it. Was it couture? Maybe not of the most expensive kind, but it was certainly better than some of the other dresses on the runway and was very Uli. Her gown has a gold flowery panel going down the back and the same material made up the Brest area and the mid section. On the to

1-3-13 Project Runway All Stars Review!!!

Its that time of week again!!! And OH MY GODNESS WAS THIS A GOOD EPISODE!!!! It is going to be sooooo hard for me not to give away who won this week and who went home on Project Runway All Stars...but I dont want to have any spoilers so Ima try my best not to give anything away even though I reeeally want to. Anyway, before I keep talking about how much I loved this week I am going to go ahead and dive into my review. Challenge: This week, each designer was paired up with a female veteran of the United States military. Each of the ladies has an event in mind where she was in need of the perfect outfit and did not need to sport the uniform. Uli: When Uli came into this challenge, she was wearing a beautiful green printed dress that was very flowey. When Uli asked her client what style dress she wanted, she mentioned that she liked the green one that her designer was wearing. Thus, Uli embarked on making a dress like her own. I really would have liked to see Uli experiment with some

12 All Time Beauty Favorites of 2012!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! Today I am going to be showing you a few of my all time favorite beauty products!! These are all items that I find myself reaching for every single day. I absoluetely love every single one of these products and highly reccomend them. So...here we go! 1.) Below is an image of my first all time favorite. This product is a blush by Almay. This blush is a light rosey pink and it has a shimmery finish. With blush, I fins that it is very eaisy to get carried away with yourself and wear too much. Blush often comes out much stronger than you anticipate, so I like to use a lighter blush and then just apply as much of it as I need, rather than applying one stroke of darker blush and already having too much. Another reason I love this product is because it does not block my poors. Often blushes block poors and casue breakouts...and no one likes break outs (especially if you already suffer from acne or any other skin condition). This product is great for sensitive skin as it is not irr
