Flawless in a few fuss-free minutes - that's what Pixi is all about!

I love the mission behind Pixi cosmetics: "simply to bring out the natural beauty in all women - to make women look like themselves, only better."

Pixi is a brand I'm newly familiar with so I was really excited to play around with the Pixi Glow Fairy Face Palette and a few other goodies from the Pixi Glow collection.  I'm a sucker for cute packaging so right away I was in love with the products.  "A whole face in a case", the Fairy Face Palette is inspired by budding roses, berry nectars & dew at dawn.  The shades are universally flattering and perfectly pigmented!

I loved the Straight on till Morning Liner in 2nd Twinkle Star, a deep khaki green sparkle green paired with some of the pink hues from the Fairy Face Palette.  A swipe of the super-nourishing gel crayon Magic Tink Tint in Happy Thoughts Pink over my lips and I was ready to go.  

I also recommend dusting on some Pixi Glow Fairy Dust, Catching Shadows in Beaming Reflection (a cream-to-powder eye crayon) and Pixi's sparkly pink nail color Pirouette Pink!

There are so many amazing and adorable products from Pixi! I encourage you to check out the Pixi website here to see for yourself! 

Pixi is also available at Target!

 OH, HONEY, a flattering full lash

OH, MY, a super thick, layered, mod style lash

For Luciana, Theodore creates a braided chignon and stresses that to keep the braid casual, the trick is to not pull hair too tight. He finishes the look with his newest styling must-have, the NEW Suave Professionals^® Dry Conditioner, to refresh the ends.

 

Look 2: Designer Barbara knows exactly what she wants - a sexy look that goes from day-to-night.

Give Skin a Lit-From-Within Glow with Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

"I believe in balance.  I believe that doing the right thing is glamorous.  I believe in beauty without the baggage"  - Josie Maran. 

I'm newly familiar with Josie Maran and her line of beauty and skincare prouducts and I'm already a fan.  I love her quote and love that it's printed on her product packaging! 

During the spring and summer I like to add a dab of illuminizer to my tinted moisturizer for a little added dazzle.  I tried the Argan Illuminizer by Josie Maran and really loved it.  I only added a tiny bit and that was all that was needed.  A little goes a long way with this product so you're getting a great, long lasting product for your hard earned money. 

Agran Illuminizer is an ultra light skin brightener with a hint of bronze.  It works to eliminate dark circles and helps rejuvenate sleepy-looking eyes while the Agran Oil conditions and restores skin. 

This universal bronze shade is perfect for ALL skin tone and ALL skin types.  It's made from organic ingredients, is paraben free, cruelty free, and best of all, "made with love".

Suave Professionals: Get the Look from Last Night's episode of NBC's "Fashion Star"

Suave Professionals® Celebrity Stylist Theodore Leaf and team were on fire in last night’s episode of NBC’S “Fashion Star!” Go behind-the-scenes in the Suave Professionals^® Salon as Theodore styles model Luba this week. Click here to watch the webisode and check out his how-to tips attached.

Look 1: Theodore can’t wait to hear what look designer Kara wants this time around and was not shocked to hear that she wanted an androgynous look … again. Theodore fears she, like most other designers, is in a style rut. To spice things up, he creates a rocker-chic updo with Suave Professionals^® Touchable Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to top off this spectacular look that left both model and designer thrilled!

 

Look 2: Theodore predicted that he would have to pull some new ideas out of designer Orly this week, and he was right. Theodore tries something new, a 1940’s inspired look with a modern twist! Using a curling iron, Suave Professionals^® Touchable Finish Extra Hold Hairspray and a secret trick of brushing Luba’s hair right before she hits the runway, Theodore creates another rockin’ look!

Mani Of The Week - The Hunger Games Collection by China Glaze

Although I may very well be the only person on the planet who has not read the book or seen The Hunger Games movie yet, I am loving The Hunger Games Collection by China Glaze! 

Since I couldn't decide on which of the gorgeous hues I liked the best I tried Harvest Moon, Agro, Riveting, and Stone Cold all at once! 

Right now I'm trying to decide between the orange glitter Riveting and the bronze glitter Harvest Moon as my favorite.  They're all so pretty!  The gun-metal color Stone Cold is a matte color and dries in an instant, perfect for a quick mani before you have to head out.  I opted to skip a clear top coat because I'm into the matte look it gives.

I'm also sporting the shimmery greenish Agro on my toenails and will probably use that as my "black polish replacement" for spring.  China Glaze has quickly become one of my new favorite polishes!  Now I'm going to have to go see The Hunger Games!
