Iman Cosmetics

One of my Top Favorite Cosmetics

Iman, I love her makeup it's the best for women of color.

Now Iman has an Eye Catching Luxury Liquid Eyeliner, just in time for the holidays.

If you're like me you're heading to almost every party on your list straight from work. My solution: wear black, stash a few fab accessories in my bag.

My greatest trick however came straight from Iman, just apply a little eyeliner to the inner corner of your eyes. Just pair one with a smoky eye and you're sure to be the talk of the party.

You can find Iman Cosmetics at Target.com (only $10.99).

Bazaar Handbags!

Fashion Police!!!

Ladies, this handbag is NOT worth the price. If you think it is I would like to know your opinion. This is a Valentino original (Buisson Rose Tote) found at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, the price for this very bazaar handbag is a whopping $4000.00.

Just because It's a name brand, high end handbag doesn't mean it worth the cost.

What is a Satchel Handbag anyway?

This kind of bag typically has some structure to it, but the handbag industry doesn't clearly define types of bags. A satchel has a firm body structure and can often stand up by itself, it is generally not "slouchy" as some handbags tend to be. It generally has a small handle that allows carrying it in your hand or at your elbow. Although some come with shoulder strap most are not worn on the shoulder. Enjoy

Beware...toxins in Nail Polish

OPI ($7) nail polish is one of my favorite nail polish to use, stays on long so you really get your money worth. I love the new collection because of the beautiful colors and also this polish is FDA approved. Free of toxins including: formaldehyde, DBP, toluene.

Nars Nail Polish ($16) has developed an improved formula. The varnishes are now enhanced with UV protection, have a glossier finish, and supposedly last longer without chipping (I haven't reached a verdict on this just yet). They are also free of formaldehyde, DBP and toluene - which I think makes the smell less severe.

The polishes in the Lippman Collection ($15) are now not only free of DBP, formaldehyde and toluene, but they also contain green tea and biotin (protein) to help your nails grow stronger. The formula dries quickly and has a really nice shine. I personally love the two new spring colors. Have you had the chance to check out Dream a Little Dream of Me yet?

Adorée Professional Nail Polish ($5) has more than 140 different nail colors in its range. While they are free of the "big three" polish no-no's, they do contain hardeners to help strengthen nails, and they claim to provide a high-shine finish.

How to wake up beautiful…

Part 2

As I said before Ladies…

Save Money, Not Wrinkles

At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Celebrities swear by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."

Try: Aquaphor Healing ointment, $9; at drugstore.com.

Avoid Carb Face

To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner (try salmon and asparagus, a natural diuretic). Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. "When our diet is high in glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance.

Wrap It Up (all my Ladies that love to have gorgeous hair)

To minimize A.M. frizz, sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf/bonnet. "Those fabrics are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction.

I hope these tips really help because I have tried them and I love the results.

How to wake up beautiful...

Get an Early Start

Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bedtime, ladies you know sometimes we all forget and we're trying to sleep in our makeup so that we can wake up with that same flawless look we had the night before. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off -- allowing "toxins and dirt to stay on there all night. You miss the best time to treat your skin. "At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere with absorption.

Try: Neutrogena Deep Clean Relaxing nightly cleanser, $7; at your local drugstores.

Sleep on Your Back

Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds -- a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.

Get a Lift

Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.

Ladies I will have more tomorrow, so please check back…

Nail Secrets...

Let’s talk nails

Applying nail polish can be a challenge for some people, especially applying dark, deep colors.
First you need to take your time, rather than polish the whole nail in one full swoop.
Break the process into at least three strokes: First, paint the center, then swipe along each side on the nail, keeps the coats thin to prevent chipping.

Also ladies you have to stay in the lines. But if you happen to go outside the lines use an orange wood stick or a Q-tip to clean it up.

For a finish professional look, always leave a small open space between the cuticle and the polish line.


(Quick tip) Before removing polish brush cuticle oil on each nail, to avoid staining the base of the nail on the fingers. The purpose of the oil it creates a barrier that keeps the color from penetrating the skin as you rub it away.

HELP WITH STORAGE...

Best way to store your handbags.


You might want to divide your bags into three categories: current rotation, special occasion and off season.

Current rotation: Is an everyday handbag that you use in rotation with other everyday bags, in neutral colors of black, brown and tan.

Special occasion: Is a handbag that is used for special events only.

Off season: a handbag that is not the color for the season, such as light pastel colors for the winter time would not be a wise choice. I would wear those colors in the summer.

If you have room stagger pretty knobs or hooks on the back of your closet door for go-to-handbags, and just add them the same way you were hanging multiple pieces of art. Start with the largest bag and build around it.


Put your special occasion bags in a clear tote container on an accessible closet shelf. You may also want to think about keeping them in a dust bag.


Now you’re ready for your out-of-season, move handbags to a high shelf or you can relocate them to another closet close by in your home. Keep them in dust bags as well because sometimes they tend to lose its shape, this helps maintain the shape.

Beauty Talk!!!

Hey Ladies, I have some Beauty Secrets I would like to share with you.


You know how you have nail polish that you just can’t get opened; try wrapping a rubber band around the top for a better grip. You may also want to try turning the bottle upside down and tapping it on a counter/table, or arm of the chair. These methods are sure to get you to your favorite polish.


I call this one a fake nose job. If you draw a line with cream shimmer down the bridge of your nose, the highlighter reflects the light, creating an illusion of a straighter nose.


I have tried this and it does work, on the go oil blotting papers. If you find yourself without any try using toilet seat covers, they make perfect oil blotting papers they are made up of the same paper and the thin paper absorbs oil like a sponge.


My favorite to try is boosting your lashes. Before putting on mascara try brushing on a little of translucent powder onto your lashes first, this adds instant volume.

For all my Divas that wear false lashes, attach them with ease by holding a hand mirror below your chin and look down. This helps close your lid a little and still allowing you to see at the same time.

Thanks ladies, I hope these tips could help you out, and I will update you on more next time.

A Unique Figure, Check it out!

A unique figure is about the handbag you choose, handbags can actually flatter the shape of your body, provided that you know the right one to pick. If you get the right one, you would be ecstatic to know that it could certainly flaunt the best of your body’s assets. On the other hand, if you fail to choose the proper handbag to suit your own physique, it will end up looking out of proportion, making you appear more awkward than fashionable, and ladies we don't want that.



Ladies, If you’re not the kind that can easily identify the effect of the type of handbag, pay close attention to your figure. Always remember to pick a handbag that will complement your body. It does not matter if you weigh several pounds more than other women or whether you look thinner than the average girls. The right type of handbag can de-emphasize the flaws of your body. If you know what type of handbags to pick out and how to carry it, then you will certainly be elated to find that it is possible to make yourself sexier by making it appear that you have lost few pounds.



Sometimes, choosing a handbag shape that is opposite to your body type will do the trick. You can also try experimenting with all kinds of bags and discover that it really does not matter if a handbag style is “in” or “out.” What is really important is that a handbag can actually boost your ego, self esteem and give you so much confidence by playing up with the beauty of your body.



Ladies, I just want you to embrace your body and make your favorite accessory work for you.

It's time for Happy Feet...

Ladies, summer is here and you know what that means, it’s time for happy feet…

It’s Pedicure Season!

Achieve a professional pedicure in the comfort of your own home, saving time and money.
Giving yourself a professional looking pedicure at home is a snap if you follow some simple steps. Pedicures can be done alone of course, but they are so much more fun when you invite a group of girlfriends over for a pedicure party. Here are tips to help you achieve salon quality results without the expense.


You need the following materials, which I recommend getting from Sally’s beauty supply all you need is here.

Foot file or Pumice stone (I recommend a two-sided foot file)
Toe separators or cotton balls/roll
Emory board
Cuticle remover
Orangewood stick
Color nail polish (I recommend formaldehyde-free)
Base coat (formaldehyde-free)
Top coat rapid dry (formaldehyde-free)
Nail polish remover
Nail clippers
Foot bath/foot spa basin
Cotton balls
Clean towels
Cuticle nippers, if desired
Intense moisture lotion (recommend with Shea butter for smoothness)
Nail buffer, if desired
Paper pedicure slippers, if desired.


1. Thoroughly saturate a cotton ball with nail polish remover and use it to remove any old polish you may have on your toenails from you last pedicure. Gently pressing the cotton ball on the nail for a moment before wiping the nail
with a circular motion will make it easier to remove the polish.

2. Fill the dishpan with enough warm soapy water to cover your feet. I like to use antibacterial hand soap. Soak for at least five minutes.
Note: Whenever you are working on one foot, the other foot should be soaking in the warm water.

3. Dry your foot and apply the cuticle remover at the base of each nail. Wait one minute for the remover to soften the cuticle. Use the wedged end of the orangewood stick to push the cuticle back. If desired, carefully snip off the excess cuticle. Repeat this procedure on the other foot.
Note: If you like, you may trim your cuticles with cuticle nippers. I don't recommend this if you aren't experienced at it. Once you start trimming cuticles you have to keep doing it every time you give yourself a pedicure. You may nick yourself in the process and bleed. This will not make for a relaxing pedicure experience!

4. Using the nail clippers, cut off any nails that are too long. Length is a personal preference, but make sure the nail is shorter than the toe. Be careful not to cut the nails too short as this can cause ingrown toenails and can be quite painful. With the emery board, file the nail into a square shape.

5. Use the nail buffer to smooth any roughness or ridges on the surface of the nails. This may also rid of any discoloration from previous nail polish.

6. Use your foot file on your damp foot to rub any areas of dry or flaking skin. Rinse the foot and dry. You may also use a pumice stone.

Note: Do not ever use a filing tool or any sharp object that cuts your skin or allow one to be used on your feet. Not only is it unsanitary, but you may cut too deeply, causing pain or even drawing blood.

7. Apply a generous amount of lotion to the foot, massaging it in and taking care to cover all the foot, especially the dry and flaky parts. Massage the lotion up your legs to your knees. Close your eyes and relax for 10 minutes, allowing your skin to soak in the soothing lotion.

8. Saturate a cotton ball with nail polish remover and go back over your toenails, making sure that all lotion residues are removed. This is important, since the polish will not stick to any surface that still has lotion residue on it.

9. Press the toe separators between the toes, so that each toe is not rubbing on the next.
Note: If doing a group pedicure, make sure that each person has their own pair of toe separators, for the sake of hygiene. If toe separators are not available, use cotton balls or a roll of cotton. Be very careful to keep the cotton away from the nails themselves, as cotton fibers will ruin the look of the polish.

10. Brush 1 coat of the base coat over the entire nail. Allow it to dry for one minute.

11. Apply 2 coats of the nail color. Allow it to dry for 5 minutes.

12. Apply the rapid dry top coat. Allow it to dry for 1 minute, then reapply top coat on the very tip of the nail just to reinforce because the tip is the first to start peeling.


If possible allow a half hour for the nails to dry completely. If you don't have that much time, carefully remove the toe separators and slip your feet into open toed shoes. Be very careful that the wet nails don't touch the shoes or other toes. You may want to use your favorite pair of summer flip flop sandals.


This entire procedure should take about an hour. After your nails are dry, you can look down often and admire your work. Tell all your friends how easy it was so that the next time you guys can all get together for a pamper party. Your pedicure should last about 2 weeks or even longer if you apply more coats of the topcoat throughout your pedicure.

Have fun!

Defend Yourself !!!

Hey Ladies, Some people say that handbags are the new weapon to keep us safe. Our carry all handbags are the new weapons to fend off a purse snatcher, robber or someone who wants to invade our personal space. Just think of all the things we carry in our bags and how heavy they are, we can really knock someone out with it.
I’m not trying to promote violence, but as a woman men think we’re weak and vulnerable and that we can’t fight for ourselves.


This is a story of young ladies fighting off a criminal with their handbag.

You wouldn't think ladies out on a shopping spree would team together to catch a criminal running through the streets, but that's exactly what 3 women from the New York did.


The police had been chasing this guy for some time, but they didn't have that secret weapon. When they spotted the criminal coming towards them the brave ladies beat the man with their bags as he run through the street, slowing him down enough for the cops to catch him.

This guy didn't stay around to fight either, as soon as he saw those bags flying at his face he darted to the other side of the road, with angry bag waving women in pursuit.

Just word of advice, use what you have to defend yourself…

SWINE FLU...... ALERT!

The SWINE FLU is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people, which is mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. The Swine Flu is out there so please take this advice and use it in your day to day activities.



Ladies it is so very important to keep your handbags clean and what I mean by that is keep them off of the floors, tables, and any where you prepare food. Sanitation is one of the #1 things we need to practice if we want to stay healthy.Free of germs and bacteria that causes cold viruses, and also diarrhea.

Studies show handbags are the most germ carrying accessory to have. If you think about it we take our purses everywhere we go including restrooms, restaurants, and entertainment events. Germs are commonly found on the bottom of your handbags, but don’t think for once you can be safe because they can move from one location to another.

You can sit your purse down on something and the germs are on the bottom of your purse and then next move on to sitting the bag on your lap and now you have the germs and bacteria on your clothes, and if you have small children that sit on your lap, now they have attracted the germs and so forth.

It is very important as well to wash your hands when you’re out to dinner, using hand sanitizer, and wiping your purse down with sanitizing wipes will help prevent the spread of any germs, viruses, and any bugs going around. Keep a small bottle of sanitizer in your purse just in case.

Ladies be very cautious of this because it’s not to be taken lightly.

Tips on shopping for a handbag buddy.

Tips on shopping for a handbag buddy.



While some can carry the same handbag for years, women's wallets tend to wear out quicker. At some point you will be in the market for a new wallet. When you are, keep the following tips in mind.




The size is probably the first important aspect you should focus on, because the wrong sizes, either too small or too big, could not contain all of your stuff or may not be comfortable to carry. If you have a lot of small valuables such as coins and ear-rings, you may want to look for a wallet that has zippers and extra space to contain these gadgets. If you always carry cash and cards, the smaller ones with credit card slots could be your first choice.



Features

Women’s wallets offer a large variety of accessories, pockets and functionality, far more than men’s wallets. As each additional feature adds space and weight to your wallet, it is important to think through your specific needs to find the appropriate case to match.
There are many types of enclosures, with snaps and zippers the most popular. As this is usually the first item on your wallet to fail, for longest life – check and double check the wallet’s enclosures before purchasing.

Construction

The basic structure of a women’s wallet is to be soft or framed. A frame wallet has a sturdy construction that literally frames the wallet’s interior, while the softer versions are composed of only fabric. When selecting the type for you, consider where you plan to carry the wallet and the types of materials that will be held inside.



Specialization

Do you need extra room for specialized essentials? Some wallet customers want a true carryall, while others only need the bare essentials. With the coming of the electronic age, many wallets now possess extra pockets for cell phones, I-pods and other types of electronic devices. If this fits your lifestyle, you may want to be on look out for those.

Are knockoff or replica handbags ok, legal or not?

A knock off in our opinion is defined as a very similar handbag with features that are copied from original manufacturers work. However, a legal knockoff or what is also called a replica does not portend to be the original. Meaning if it is a Coach replica it indicates that it is a Coach “replica” or knockoff. This switch is not a play on words but a fundamental indication that it’s a “generic” version of the original.



Interesting the drug industry has a very similar model believe it or not. When they talk about generic drugs it really has to be the same as the original “right” or doctors would probably would not prescribe the drug and you would not take it either. Keep in mind, in the replica and knockoff world the seller might still using the name of the original manufacturer on the product and will use the name in the description of the item as well as long as they also say its a replica or knockoff.



Love Our Handbags, Inc. scorns and does not sell replicas or knockoffs bearing the name or the exact design of the original manufacturer. We support authentic representation. We will fight against copies that say they are originals. That is wrong and it violates trademark and copyright laws. Another derivation from the industry is called designer inspired handbags. Designer inspired are those that take inspiration from name brand manufacturers but are not exact copies. Feature and attributes of the handbag are used with new features to come up with a unique style. Additionally designer inspired do not indicate or show original manufacturer trademarks or insignia and are totally legal.



Simply put replicas that say they are replicas are perfectly legal, but we don’t support them if they carry the original manufacturers name or trademark, even if they say they are replicas. And designer inspired styles (which we do support) draw upon other people's work -- in fashion, in art, in literature – which is how ideas spread through the culture. That’s healthy for consumers and the industries in which it occurs.

My Handbag Buddy

Handbags and wallets go hand and hand. Wallets are a must have accessory.

They come in many different styles, colors, fabrics and shapes.

You have your standard wallet, checkbook wallet, mini card holder, agendas, coin purse, and your wristlet. Here are just a few examples of wallets.

Standard Wallets

A basic women’s wallet comes in two sizes, a longer 3.5 by 8.5 inches or a mini version about half that size. Most fold in halves or thirds and are held together by a clasp. They provide all the basic features needed such as pockets for cards, money, notes and coins.

Agendas

The non-electronic method of staying organized is found in an agenda. The agenda wallets are a combination of organization and storage. Certainly a larger type, most contain a complex system including diaries, calendars, notebooks, address books, calculator, pen loops, plus all the basic wallet style pockets and compartments.

Checkbook Wallets

This style of wallet is about the size of a checkbook, with standard features including card pockets, change pouches, ID window slots, and a removable checkbook cover that slips in and out of the wallet folds.



Coin Purse

Is usually a small, one-pocket women’s wallet with a firm clasp to contain your coins. The most important feature of a coin purse is the closure, with zippers, clasps or kiss-locks being the most effective.


Mini Card Holders

Is the size of a credit card that holds a variety of types of cards within pockets or accordion style compartments. Many have a snap, magnet, or zipper to fasten it closed.


Wallet on a String

Is quite petite, this wallet is basically a miniature purse with built in pockets to incorporate the handbag-as-a-wallet concept. The string is a tiny purse strap that allows you to carry the wallet on your shoulder or across your chest. These are good for carrying just the necessity and being hands free. Also for women that don’t like carrying around a full size handbag.



Wristlet

Are similar, wallet-style accessories with a small strap to carry on your wrist in your hand. Some also have a small pocket to hide the string when not in use, or even have clips to completely detach the strap. These are very good when you want to carry just the necessity things.


While some women prefer to match their wallet to their handbags, or shoes, others like to have the fun and whimsical wallet styles.


The most common wallet textiles are:

• Leather • Canvas • Cotton • Lizard • Microfiber • Plastic • Nylon • Polyester • Suede • Velvet • Vinyl • Snakeskin • Alligator • Crocodile

The variety of women's wallets can be quite overwhelming. In today’s market, many brands provide you a decent wallet at a great price.



Also keep in mind just like shopping for a handbag, choose the one that fits your personality.

$1,600 versus $60.00 which would you prefer?
