What Is Your Unique, One-of-a-Kind Style?

My style does not reflect a static trend at all as it regularly changes with my mood. I don't believe in a wearing the same look indefinitely, but rather like to incorporate different styles and trends. I love to try new things, daring and strange - but I also regularly enjoy throwing on over-sized cardigans and chunky sweaters for a casual and comfortable look.

One of the style I enjoy the most is stacking jewelry pieces. I love mixing and matching different metals and styles. I also sometimes stack multiple watches together. It's a little unconventional, but definitely a good topic of conversation.

My makeup is often simple and minimal, but dark eyeliners are definitely my go-to party and fun look. I am always in search of dark eye liners. (The lighter colors just won't do for me!) For changes, I just alternate between thin lines, thicker lines, etc. A bright red lipstick is also something I thoroughly enjoy using to play with a look. Red lipsticks definitely change a look - and also give the illusion of a whiter, brighter smile!

Red Carpet Beauty Essentials

What beauty products would you indulge in if you were to walk the red carpet? I recently got my hands on some beauty essentials great for glamorous events such as award and fashion shows!

Whether you are attending a fancy event, award show, fashion show or conventional party, your picture will probably be taken at one point or another - which is why a beautiful smile should be the most important concern. (I've had my fair share of cropping out unflattering outfits or hairstyles in photos, but the face and smile is not exactly something one can leave out!)

Rembrandt Deeply White + Peroxide 2 Hour Whitening Kit, Rembrandt Deeply White + Peroxide Mouthwash Rembrandt and Deeply White + Peroxide Toothpaste in Fresh Mint

As I will be attending a big event this Saturday, I have been very diligent with my teeth whitening routine. I'm usually quite lazy with it, but this set of Rembrandt Whitening Kit, Mouthwash and Peroxide Toothpaste has really inspired me to keep my teeth almost glaringly white. The combination of the mouthwash, whitening kit and toothpaste in the past week has left my teeth whiter than it has ever been. I'm actually really surprised that the effects were so noticeable by the end of just one week!

Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove Released

The Sigma Spa™ Brush Cleaning Glove, released by Sigma on their website today, comes in four lovely colors and was specially designed as a quick, easy and effective method to deep clean makeup brushes. This dual-sided glove offers a variety of necessary textures and surfaces for removing all makeup from brushes while using a small amount of brush cleaning solution.

This idea is really interesting and I can't wait to see how it plays out. At $39 a piece, this brush cleaning device isn't cheap, so I know readers will want to read up on the product before buying. Expect an in-depth review soon!

Update: Review, photos and dupe guide of the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove has been posted.

New York Fashion Week ØDD Recap

Fashion Week 2013 marks the debut of ØDD's first women's wear collection that will be shown alongside what was previously a men's-only line sold exclusively at the ØDD storefront in Manhattan's Lower East Side. This 2013 season, both genders will find the juxtaposition of refined tailoring met with uniquely "ØDD" silhouettes. The detailing ranges from distressing to the most intricate of pleats. The collection maintains a black and stained white color palette that speaks to those dark, often undiscovered, corridors' of the human persona.

Sigma Eyeshadow Base Swatches, Reviews, Photos

The Sigma Eye Shadow Bases have just been officially released on the Sigma website today and already I've noticed people comparing these eyeshadow bases to MAC paint pots. I just want to clear things up a bit with a brief Sigma eyeshadow base review and photo swatches. Notice that I said brief - because I haven't had the time to test out the longevity of these eyeshadow bases. This review is mostly an overview and thoughts on first impressions, but I thought readers should get an opinion of the product before anyone rushes out to order loads of anything.

As always, Sigma's makeup presentation and packaging is intricately beautiful.

Sigma currently has nine eyeshadow bases that are sold in kits of three ($36 each kit) or sold individually ($13 each base). Swatches and photos of all the bases are shown below:

The Sigma Eyeshadow Base Kit in Bare contains Persuade (matte nude), Pose (shimmery brown) and Sculpt (shimmery charcoal).

From left to right: swatches of Persuade, Pose and Sculpt

The Sigma Eyeshadow Base Kit in Dare contains Unveil (a shimmery gold), Strike (shimmery burgundy) and Dash (matte plum).
