Kissable Couture's Bare Your Soul Summer Nudes Collection

BellaSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:01:35 -0700

Summertime is all about flaunting your sexy skin. What better way to enhance it with than a collection of sultry nude lip glosses? Kissable Couture has just released The Nudes Collection, three shiny new shades to bring the total number of glosses to 13.

Each of the glosses have a light, nontacky texture, a sweet (but not overbearingly so) scent and retail for $22. The colors are deeper than the original collection: they all have shimmer, and they are all members of the golden toffee-colored family.

Innocence, the lightest of the bunch, is a champagne-creme brulee color. It goes on sheer and would look great alone or on top of any of your favorite lipstick.
Honesty is a creamy, rich caramel shade that has a slight glimmer of shimmer.
Exposed is a dark, metallic bronzey-brown that is charged with oodles of shimmer.

Kissable Couture's Dreamy Valentine's Day Collection

In case you missed my post last month about the fabulous new brand of glosses from Keisha Nash Whitaker and celebrity makeup artist AJ Crimson, the creators of Kissable Couture, don't worry because you're just in time to take a peek at their brand-new collection for Valentine's Day.

During the course of the month, I've been testing out Dylan, and goodness gracious, I'm in love! This sweet pink shade isn't too young looking, in fact it's really sheer, shimmery, not overly sticky, and it's actually very moisturizing. Way to go KC! Now I am more psyched than ever to check out three new colors ($22 each) that have been named after (awww) "everything love inspires." Here's a description:

Fantasies a bold, sheer red rose

Dreams an airy, soft, pale pink

Bliss a shimmery mauvy rose

So, whatcha think? Are you sold on Kissable Couture, or do you think it's still a little too cutesy for your taste?

Bella Brand: Kissable Couture

BellaSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:00:09 -0800

Two years ago, former model Keisha Nash Whitaker (wife of Oscar winner Forest Whitaker) and celebrity makeup artist friend AJ Crimson set out to design their own line of luscious lip glosses. Just a few short months ago, their dreams became a reality and Kissable Couture launched the First Kiss Collection.

The shimmery, smooth glosses ($22) range in color from peach to burgundy. There are seven shades in the collection, and the cutest part of all is that every gloss is named after fellas that Keisha and her friends have kissed (i.e. Eric, Dylan, Chris, David, Johnny, Tyler and of course Forest).

Only one collection has been released so far, but stay tuned for a few new shades that are due out just before Valentine's Day!

How-To: Marion Cotillard's Warm and Cool Makeup

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Marion Cotillard, who's been in the spotlight as of late promoting her film, Public Enemies, is a vision of French sophistication. And her look at Christian Dior's Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture show earlier today was no exception. Recently, model Selita Ebanks broke the rules by pairing cool eyes with a warm lip, and now, in ultrachic fashion, it's Marion's turn.

This time the look couples a warm gold shadow with a cool blue-based red lipstick. We all know that gold and bronzy tones make blue eyes pop. Add some dark, Marilyn-esque waves to the mix, and it's chic with a French twist. Find out my tips for achieving this look after the jump
