Kim K's Blog: Help Me Pick My Perfume Giftbag!



We are currently debating what the pattern should be for the gift bag you get when you purchase my perfume! So when someone buys my perfume at a department store they get a great handbag along with it! Which pattern for the bag do you guys like the best? Floral, plaid or plain light pink?? I'm leaning towards the light pink... simple and stylish... what do you think?

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Dark Circles & Smoky Eyes




Many of you have some serious issues…beauty issues, that is. And as much as I want to help, I am no expert. So to solve your beauty dilemmas, I’ve called in serious reinforcements.

Celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic is answering your burning beauty questions!!! Every Monday, he will answer a beauty/skin care question as part of a weekly column on Spoiled Pretty - aptly named "Makeup Mondays with Mario."

So without further ado...do your thang, Mario!

Hi Mario,

I have a question and would like some advice on my make-up. OK... I naturally have dark circles around my eyes and I love the smokey eye look. However whenever I’ve tried it, it makes my circles appear darker. Is there something I can do about it so that I can achieve the look that I'm wanting or is that something I can’t accomplish because of my imperfections? -LaJuan


Dear LaJuan,

It seems to me that the problem you're having has to do with covering up the dark circles around your eyes, or it could the technique you're using when you do the eye makeup. If done correctly, a smokey eye should not make your "circles" appear darker. Here's what you should do. Start out by applying an eye shadow base or primer to the lid. You can also use your concealer or foundation for this (a shade or two lighter then your skin would be best). Follow with some loose powder to set the base. Now you can go ahead and give yourself a smokey eye which ever way that you prefer. After the lids are done, you now want to clean the under eye area with a makeup wipe to get rid of all the eyeshadow that most likely fell. That could be why it looks more dark to you. Once the under eye area is clean, apply your concealer, blend with a sponge and finish by setting it with a translucent loose powder. This will also prevent the liner along the lower lash line from smudging. ;-)

xo,
Mario

InStyle Wedding: Splendid Settings



Zen Minimalism
Tree seedlings, wrapped in attractive burlap packets, give each guest an opportunity to honor the occasion in an especially meaningful and lasting way.


Zen Minimalism
Each place is set with an appetizer of squid topped with salmon roe and pea shoots served on a small square dish next to a linen napkin tied with a tassel.


Zen Minimalism
A long table flanked by two benches encourages conversation and a warm, communal atmosphere. Polished stones, potted greenery and ivory linens create a feeling of serenity.


Country Flair
Slices of cake are packed for guests to take home. Use boxes with cellophane windows and labels that look like doilies to indicate which type of cake is inside. Tie with a grosgrain ribbon.


Country Flair
In lieu of a napkin ring, a matching linen flower is pinned to each napkin. Place cards are handwritten in pink script and held in the prongs of a fork at each setting.


Country Flair
Coupe-style champagne glasses echo the circular shapes of the cakes and fluted stands while lending a charming retro element to the ivory-clothed tables.


Country Flair
Creating a feminine, Southern-country vibe for this reception are wrought-iron chairs, a floral toile tablecloth, an ivory linen overlay with tassel-rope trim, and at the center of it all, five pastel-colored cakes.


Bold Elegance
Square plates and solid-colored napkins add a tailored look, mirroring the crisp lines of the gifts. Table numbers are handwritten by a calligrapher on strips of paper and wrapped around the plates.


Bold Elegance
The gift for each guest is a small glass pitcher with a recipe for sparkling ginger lemonade, the featured beverage at this wedding.


Bold Elegance
Guests, whose names appear on gift tags instead of place cards, may sit where they like at this table. Tea lights lend a flourish that won't compete for space or attention with the packages.

The World’s Biggest Chanel Bag




Sighted tonight in the cold rain, New York City, 5th Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman. Even though it’s just a prop, it’s worth noticing.

How one could not notice it, is the question.

Designer Shoe of the Day: Yves Saint Laurent Elastic and Suede Sandal



On immediate viewing of these Yves Saint Laurent Elastic and Suede Sandal, I pictured a femme fatale, Angelina Jolie like character, lustfully and seductively walking into a room, and all heads turn so fast there’s whiplash. The mixture of elastic and suede isn’t usually utilized in shoe production, but Yves Saint Laurent has proved yet again that interesting elements can make a certainly sexy shoe.

For the fall, most of the shoes that have been produced are boots (although they are beautiful), and these platform heels are a breath of fresh air. They’re absolutely perfect with a little black dress. If it is too cold, wear a leather jacket and a pair of navy or black tights. The outfit would be head-turn worthy if worn with my favorite lipstick, Chanel lipstick in Vamp.

Penelope Cruz gets cameo in Sex and the City 2 Movie



Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and the rest of the Sex and the City ladies are getting some A-list company in their upcoming sequel to last year's SATC movie.

OK! Magazine reports that Penelope Cruz has just filmed a cameo for the flick, joining already confirmed guest appearances by Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and Liza Minnelli. (Minnelli will be belting out a rendition of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" during the wedding between Stanford and Anthony—for which Parker's Carrie Bradshaw will serve as best man.)

Sounds like the movie, which has a May 28, 2010, release date, is going to be a star-studded affair.

Big Gay Wedding?

There’s been a metric ton of speculation and even a few intentionally leaked set photos, but up till now no one really seems to have had any idea what the already filming Sex and the City sequel might be about. Tonight, for the first time, we may have answers. Sex and the City 2 is throwing a big, gay, wedding.

Gossip site Just Jared claims that an “insider” says the movie will involve a wedding between the series’ notable gay couple, played by Mario Cantone and Willie Garson. There had been some speculation that the film might actually be marrying off Samantha, but apparently photos leaked of her in a wedding gown were, much like communism, just a red herring.

Since the first movie already covered the wedding thing pretty adequately, it’s hard to imagine that yet another marriage would be the central plot of the sequel, let alone the wedding of two minor side characters. It’s more likely that this is just some sub plot, maybe while the wedding happens Big will impregnate Carrie behind a pew or something. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a big deal. Their source claims they’re planning celebrity cameos from gay icons to class up the occasion. They’ve reportedly already signed Liza Minnelli and are currently in “secret talks” with Barbra Streisand.
