Coffee TABLE ANYONE?

HAS BEEN SOLD

Hello everyone! How's your week so far. I can't tell you how odd it is to be in October & still be surrounded by humidity. NYC weather is strange no? This weather is keeping me indoors doing work & also rearranging the house - which means getting rid of a few things & bringing in new stuff!

This time I've decided to put my clear coffee table on SALE.  Just wanted to change a few things out  as I always do... The table has been featured on several blogs including my own - as you can see below!

It's in good condition - with a only a few minor scratches on the corners. I'm selling it for $150 or best offer, but this lucite coffee table originally retails for $279 at CB2, which you can see here.  No shipping, so you'd have to be NY local & come pick it up.  If interested, please email me.

FASHION: A WILD FALL

Hello everyone! This is Sandra from Blasfemmes! I'm sure you've noticed that animal-print is going to be a trend to watch this Season with tiger, leopard and snakeskin all making an appearance. My personal favorite of these wild prints will be forever leopard-print and I love cheetah-print almost as much so today I'm focusing on these too classic prints, seen all over the fall 2013 runways on everything from clothing to accessories. Ready?

BEAUTY: THE FAKE-UP BAG

Kimberly of KimberlyLuxe here and I'm so excited that I'll finally be visiting New York for the first time! I was invited to attend a conference for women in technology and my mind has been all over the place when it comes to my personal brand, future projects, what I'm going to wear, and how I'm going to do my makeup. One thing is for sure, I want to be camera ready for those random pictures that'll be taken to commemorate the event, as well as, those picture that may be used to later promote the event.

But I don't think that I want to cake-on my makeup as I really don't want to have to deal with the reapplication and resetting process that comes after hours of wearing the mixture of primer, foundation, concealer, and powder. So as I pack and get ready to go, I will be building a Fake-Up Bag -- one that will be full of product shortcuts for achieving "No-Makeup Looking Makeup". Because let's face it, make-up can often cake-up, so my goal for this trip will be to, fake-it like I make-it.





+ BB/CC Cream One of my must have Fake-Up Bag Essentials is a BB Cream, CC Cream, or Tinted Moisturizer. The products make for an awesome base and imperfection concealer without the hassle of having to go through a multi-step process that is often needed in order to achieve a full foundation routine. The great thing about BB Creams, CC Creams, and Tinted Moisturizers is that they are often 4-In-One Products. They usually always have SPF, primer, foundation, and moisturizing properties as staples! Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream is a definite whole-in-one!


+ Refresher I absolutely love using MAC's Studio Fix+ Spray. The solution allows my makeup to stay on all day while looking refreshed and vibrant. But recently, I have started making my own version of MAC's Studio Fix+, when I learned that Glycerin and Water have the same benefits as the clear solution sold at cosmetic stores! But if you're not looking to spend MAC money or if you're not in the mood to make this solution on your own, then Burt's Bees Rosewater & Glycerin Solution is a great semi-organic and budget friendly face alternative for you! Simply put some in a small spray bottle and spitz it before or after you're done applying your fake-up!


+ Mascara No matter if you're planning on wearing makeup or not, mascara is definitely a must-have as it allows your eyes to be the focal point of your face. Not only does mascara wake up sleepy eyes but it also can pull a fake-up look together! Benefit Cosmetic's "They're Real" Mascara is worth every penny as it'll expand and elongate your lashes in a fun and flirty way!


+ Lip-Stain A lip-stain is that great product that's right in between a lipgloss and a lipstick. Lipstains are known to withstand meals and weather as they provide a long-lasting lightweight finish! For a day look, I prefer a lipstain that is nude or light pink so it gives more natural appeal! OCC's Lip Tars are all the rave because in my opinion they pack the most perfect pucker punch in an organic and vegan way!


What's in your Fake-Up Bag?! What are your essentials for creating a natural and not so heavy makeup look?
