LOVE it or Leave It?
The key to beauty is knowing when to take on a trend, and when to leave it on the runway:

LEAVE IT -- The spring runway's "bare face" was simply gorgeous! We are all for fresh faces glowing with bronze skin and nude shades. But no mascara? No way. That simply doesn't translate well on street...or even the beach. Makeup artists reveal that eyes simply don't pop without mascara; even one coat of waterproof can help delicate lashes stand out. And don't forget an eyelash curler! It takes just one squeeze to boast uplifted fringe.
LOVE IT -- Finally, the antidote to maximal dressing is here! Minimalist looks were prominent on the runways, and are key for spring/summer 2013. Chic black and white looks appeared casual (by Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, and 3.1 Philip Lim) and glam (Oscar de la Renta, Valentino). Prada is jumping onto the trend with a summer capsule collection of "breezy patterned dresses and accessories in the graphic color combination" now in stores. No matter what your style, less is more this season!
LOVE IT -- While the thrill of a new scent is fantastic, we clamor for classic summer fragrances that take us back to summers' past.
* Calypso Violette makes us reminisce about beach vacations, hearing the sounds of the ocean waves crash along the shore. With an overall sweet floral bouquet, Violette captures the heady combination of rose hip, bergamot, and violet, followed by down-to-earth sensual base notes of sandalwood, tonka bean, and honey.
* Burberry Summer captures the essence of summer's carefree nature, reminding us of afternoons lingering by the water and cool evenings with friends. Sweet, light, and fresh, Burberry Summer features florals like rose, waterlilly, and freesia, which are complemented by fruity notes of citrus and green apple.
* Bulgari Green Tea, a unique blend of green tea extracts combined with jasmine, citrus, and rose, invokes incredible memories of summer travels. Whether going to the Hamptons, Capri, or wherever your wanderlust takes you, this unisex scent will contribute to the joy you feel.

Pretty n Punk
Pretty 'n' punk just seems oh-so fitting with this past weeks recent punk themed Met Gala event; I just couldn't resist my top punky beauty picks I've grown to love. Wear them seperately or pair them together for an all out rockin' look.
There's no better way to start with my tippity top personal fave, which happens to be Lancome's L'absolu nu replenishing and enhancing lip color. This superb lightweight textured lipstick is formulated with Pro-Xylane, which guarantees this lovely lip color to deliver moisture for up to 8 hours. If that's not enough, it's enriched with enhancing pigments to create suppler and replenished lips. Pucker up to this luminous and super glam color. How can you go wrong with prune popeline? Let me tell you, you can't!
Spice things up with Black XS perfume by Paco Rabanne. This spicy, moderate bouqet of perfume for women consists of a rich and aromatic blend of notes, including tamarind blossom, massoia wood, cranberry, vanilla, hellebore rose, and pink peppercorns. No better way to punk it up with perfume by Paco Rabanne.
Want in on a dirty little secret? The secret is...you don't have to shampoo every day when you have Rockaholic's dry shampoo. A spritz and comb thru makes hair smell fresh and keeps it rockin' for one more night.
Sticking with hair that's stuck up, punk out to Rockaholic's molding gunk. Tour tested, rockstar approved...your hair is not going anywhere with this workable, outlasting 'gunk'.
