    This color worn by Rachel McAdams is the new red. With magenta undertones this lip color give her look a pop of delectable sophistication while maintaing a playful vibe, and the balance of her subtle cat eye pulls it all together. In order to avoid a cakey look, go for a light -weight formula such as the lip stain I have pictured above, which will create a long lasting finish that will remain vibrant throughout the day unlike an average lipstick. Try Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in "lively," which is sold at Sephora.

You can't go wrong with a pink lip, but it's often hard to find the right shade. This rosy hue is flattering on universally anyone and any skin tone, since the blush tint is complimentary to your natural complexion and will give you a radiant glow. Up above is a new product from Bare Minerals called Pretty Amazing Lipcolor featured in "rosy mauve," which is an opaque liquid gloss that will give your lips a hint of exquisite sheen.

Go nude. Ginnifer Goodwin's nude lip ties in well with her dewy flush and her soft smoky eyes., which creates an polished appearance. To replicate her look, choose a tinted lip balm such as Laura Mercier HydraTint cream stick which is proven to give your lips a boost of moisture with a shield of SPF 15, and is sold at Sephora. 

     

Blunt Bangs: A Love Hate Relationship

     It's like a craving, one that you can't shake off until you actually taste it, but sometimes it's not as great as you had hyped it up to be. In this case, I'm not referring to food specifically, but alluding to the phenomenon of the blunt bang. They can either hit the spot, or they can strike a little bland, and if they don't satisfy your appetite the first time, maybe give them a second chance, because who says the second batch won't lend itself to a savory blend of perfection. That being said, the recipe for an impeccably crafted bang requires careful execution and proper measurements. So choose your stylist wisely if your going to go for the plunge, and in order to maintain a flawless fringe, upkeep is simply indispensable, which is often their foremost downside. 

     Let's just say I have mixed feelings about them. When I'm not sporting them, I love them; but when my impulsive nature sets in and I give into my desire for a new do, I hate them. Well sometimes. My advice, go for the chop, because you'll never know until you try them on.
