"HAVE A DIVA-licious DAY"

Hello everyone, Okay I came across this test and thought it was great, and as usual I love to share with my readers awesome information that I receive.  So the questionaire is just a tool to get you to thinking about what type of style you are or have a tendency to be.  Please take it and have fun.  Maybe you will discover something about yourself you did not know or you may think that you liked something but you find you really don't. Enjoy,

Are you a sultry sex siren, a laid-back beach babe, or an elegant glamour girl? Take this quiz to find your beauty icon — and the decade where your sense of style fits!



~ 1 of 8 ~

1. You're often told your most attractive feature is:









Your unique sense of style and ability to make any trend your own.





Your megawatt smile and boisterous laugh.





Your sexy doe eyes.





Your effortless sense of style and grace.





Your clean-cut good looks and outgoing nature.
~ 2 of 8 ~


2. You feel most confident when you are wearing:









A totally original (and sometimes out there) look you've pulled together from what's in your closet.





A stylish, curve-hugging ensemble.





An eye-catching swimsuit with beach-sexy hair.





Anything that exudes elegance — whether it's a party dress or cigarette pants and a cardigan.





It depends — you can go from a sophisticated dress and heels one day to donning sneakers and jeans the next.

3. Your favorite hair style is:

Tousled, undone waves.

































A sophisticated updo or short pixie cut.

































One that changes monthly! You'll try anything once, even streaks of bold color.

































Sculpted with lots of volume.

































A head full of wild curls.









~ 4 of 8 ~











4. When shopping for shoes, you find yourself gravitating toward:

Any shoe with an interesting feature: a rhinestone ornament, a peep toe, or some alligator fabric. It's all in the details.

































A sexy pair of thigh-high leather boots (or, hey, even combat boots!).

































Heels — the higher the better! Comfort takes a backseat to style.

































Timeless staples you can get lots of wear out of, like classic pumps or Converse sneakers.

































Summery sandals or flats — you like looking pretty yet casual.



5. Your jewelry box holds:

Your favorite watch, diamond studs, and a few delicate gold chains.

































Big hoop earrings, studded leather bracelets, and necklaces of all colors and sizes. You love to accessorize!

































Not much — just a few treasured pieces you've collected over the years

































Anything jewel-encrusted — from cocktail rings to necklaces to bracelets.

































Strand after strand of luxurious pearls.









Which of the following describes the contents of your makeup bag?

All the latest products from your favorite cosmetic counter — you never leave the house without a full face of superglam makeup!

































Select items from the same luxe makeup and skin-care line you've used for years.

What makeup bag? You usually wear nothing but a bit of moisturizer with SPF.

Many, many colors and varieties of mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, and lip color. Any beauty trend that comes along, you'll usually try it at least once.

































Just the basics — concealer, mascara, and a touch of lip gloss.





~ 8 of 8 ~









8. On a dream dinner date, you're at a candlelit table for two. You'd hope to be with:

A chivalrous, handsome gentleman who oozes integrity.

































An intense, athletic man with a mysterious personality and killer good looks.

































A suave, sophisticated, and sexy European lover.

































A laid-back family man who is crazy about you.

































Your lovable longtime partner who still has your heart.









Okay so I took the test and the this is what my results were. Although I do agree with some of it I can say that I would never have put myself in the catagory with Madonna by no means. But it was fun anyway. Hope you enjoyed the thought provoking questions. Me

You're Madonna
what??????????











1980s style chameleon who pushes the envelope









Unconventional and stylishly confident, you’re a beauty trendsetter whom others are captivated by. Though she’s just as relevant today, Madonna’s flashy rocker-chic look is synonymous with the 80s, and like her, you’re anything but boring. You love to experiment with makeup, hair, and fashion, and everyone knows it. Those around you see you as daring and seductive, but you back up your looks with magnetism, brains, and plenty of ambition. Others can’t wait to see what look you’ll pull off next — and you enjoy keeping them guessing.

Modern-day kindred spirits include Rihanna, Chloë Sevigny, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, and Pink.

"HAVE A DIVA-licious DAY"


I received this article from one of my fashion sources and I decided to share.  The article is about wearing Black fingernail polish, which believe it or not, I do happen to like the look.  I am not especially fond of the look in the article but I did see an article with another model and her nails where short and square and she had black nail polish on it look very nice.

Of course I realize that the color black on the nails is not everyones cup of tea, and when we think of black nails we automatically think Goth.  But it actually can look very classy and elegant if done correctly and worn at a length that is short.  So if you have never tried this look maybe your should, my moto is nothing ventured nothing gained. Enjoy the article.

The truth is that it is a trend that I like, and favors me most of the time, but you have to be careful. It is a look that can be super elegant, but if you're not careful, it could be the opposite.



So in today's tip I will tell you some secrets so that you don't make any mistakes:



Wear your nails short and well filed.

If you have small hands, file your nails long to make the fingers appear finer.

If you are wearing dark nails, make sure that they are always impeccable; there is nothing less glamorous than wearing broken nails, especially if they are dark because it will be more noticeable.

Also dark matte colors, they favor less than the ones that are glossy, (you can apply a gloss layer on top).

Always apply nail protector, because dark colors can get your nails dirty.

If you are using dark nail polish, go changing the style with a lighter varnish, and let your nails rest a couple days per week

Shedding in Winter

Shedding YOUR brown spots
Tuesday January 12, 2010

It is very important for us to keep our skin covered even during the winter months.  The more melanin in the skin the less sun damaged but there is sun damage non the less if we don't take of ourselves with sunscreen.  For our fairer sisters it is really important to have sunscreen even in our makeup that we wear on our face.  DivaGlam Cosmetics Mineral Cosmetics has sunscreen in it and you want to make sure to use extra sunscreen for your skin type.

The following is an article that I came across and I felt that my readers would learn alot of information about sunspots and skin, the treatment and causes of brown spots.  Please feel free to comment and let us know what you think of the article and how helpful it was for you.  Enjoy

Shedding Your (Brown) Spots in Winter

When your arms and legs are pasty winter white, any brown spots or discolorations really stand out. Luckily, this is also the best time of year to do skin treatments to remove them — because you're more likely to be wearing long sleeves and pants that can hide any crusts and scabs while you heal. Here are some of the ways I treat brown spots in my office:



Liquid nitrogen is a tried-and-true method of removing brown spots and harmless raised growths on the arms and legs. Using a canister that looks like a spray gun, I squirt the cold nitrogen through a nozzle. This freezes the growth or spot but leaves the normal skin around it untouched. It stings for a few seconds, then the treated area bubbles up into a red welt. Within a day or two the welt goes down and turns into a dark scab, similar to the kind you'd get if you burned yourself on a curling iron or stove burner. Scabs on the arms may take a week to fall off; scabs on the legs can take two weeks or longer.

Laser treatments can help fade brown spots. Certain lasers are designed to target the skin's melanin pigment and break it up. In general, smaller, darker spots (especially those on the backs of the hands) respond better than lighter, larger ones because there is more pigment to interact with the laser. Each pulse of the laser feels like a hot pinprick, then the areas turn red for a few days; any crusting that forms falls off in about a week. You'll get the best results if you're not tan.



Chemical peels can help remove sun damage and spots caused by sun exposure. For individual spots, I dab the chemical peel solution onto each spot. They typically crust within a week and may take two weeks to peel off.



Don't forget sunscreen. Even in the middle of winter, harmful UV rays can pass through your car windows and through the glass window of your home or office. If you do undergo any of these skin treatments, be sure to keep the treated areas covered up — freshly lasered or peeled skin can heal even darker than before if it's exposed to the sun while it's healing

Exercise done the SKECHERS WAY

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE.  I just want to say that during this time of year many of us begin to think about our lives and what we did this year and what we would like to do in the coming New Year, Well I am no different than you.

For Christmas my husband got me the Skechers tennis shoes.  When you walk you can lose weight and strenghten back muscles, tone leg calfs, help to correct posture etc.  I got them and was happy to do so because like most of you I want to lose a few pounds in the coming year.  So with that said I began my journey to health with these shoes.



Shape-Ups are designed to:



•Promote weight loss

•Strengthen the back

•Firm calf and buttock muscles

•Reduce cellulite and tone your thighs

•Increase cardiovascular health

•Improve posture
 

The first day I wore them I must have worn them for tooooooo long because I started to complain to my daughter that my back was hurting and then she reminded me that you are suppose to break the shoes in and wear them a little at a time until you get use to walking the correct way.  Needless to say when I got home I took them off, but I will say that I do feel a difference in my back and stomach muscles, which is great because if you are anything like me I hate to exercise, and will not go to a Gym for all to see me!

This was my second day wearing them and I did not walk as much in them as the first day but I love them. 

So if you are out there and thought about getting a pair and you are anything like me and hate the idea of a gym or any kind of scheduled exercise, try these shoes.  Of course they will never take the place of regular scheduled exercise but at least as you go about your regular day you can make a difference in your body.

Until next time then,  Stay DIVA-licious.......

I LOVE the design of this mascara brush, but if you are on a budget you can get this same design brush try Loreal, I personally recommend it and use it on my clients as well.

Polish is still in the shimmer mode.  Just like for this Winter Season, but smaller particles, but still shimmer!

These Eyes I just had to show you, they are THE BOMB, to be honest I can't wait to try them myself and on my clients as well.  So here they are and the color pallets that follow as I mentioned can be duplicated at a less expensive price.  But if you can afford it then by ALL means go for it. 

One of the reasons I love makeup is that it does give you the ability to create looks without having to spend a fortune.  So BE CREATIVE!!!

DIVAS Personal Shopper with Kim Kardashian

http://www.shoedazzle.com/  Okay so I am a big loooooooooooooooooooooover of Shoes.  In fact I have a closet full of shoes in all colors shapes and syles.  I came across this article in a mag and decided to log on and check it out.

First I must say it is a fun site and I enjoyed answering the questions that you must answer in order to be a part of the company.  I love the concept.  Personal Shopper for shoes!!!  Right up my alley.  I am very busy and I really hate to shop.  But I love keeping up with the latest fashions and looking great when I step out.

What this site does for all the DIVAS is provide you a service just like the ones that most of the stars get.  Someone else actually does the shopping and looking for you and brings the selections to you to choose.  HOW AWESOME IS THAT!   Well needless to say I did sign up and am anxiously awaiting my profile of shoes that my personal stylest have chosen for me.

Please go check it out.  Every DIVA should have a personal shopper and this one is VERY affordable.  I salute Kim Kardashian for the concept and the site and I look forward to a long relationship with  Shoe Dazzle. 

Until next time,

MeChelle
