Christian Siriano Makes Over Your Kitchen Sponge

"African, Indian and Asian influences served as the inspiration for my first-ever sponge designs," said Siriano. "Both patterns, Leopard and Muse, are meant to captivate the eye through the use of color and the latest trends."
The limited edition O-Cel-O™ No-Scratch Scrub Sponges are ideal for cleaning delicate surfaces from glassware and china to counters and stainless steel cookware. The scrub sponges are available in a 2-pack for a suggested retail price of $2.59 or a 3-pack for $3.60.

Make-up Trend: Pastel Pink Lips & Cheeks
Glamour released three covers for the month of May, and Freida Pinto was on one of them. Her cover was themed "Goddess", and looking like every bit of one, she rocked some pastel pink lips and cheeks to go with her floral Peter Som bathing suit. To get her look, apply a pastel pink lip and cheek stain on your lips and cheeks. Stains can double as a cheek stain, and it's a particularly handy trick in the winter months. The creamy, highly pigmented formula is the perfect antidote to winter complexions—and stays put longer than powder blushes, which can easily rub off. Dab the stain on the apples of your cheeks and work in the smear with your fingertips for a naturally flush glow.
Make-up Trend: Smoky Lavender Eye Shadow
A smoky eye doesn't have to be black and gray. Take a cue from Genelia D'Souza's lavender version on the latest issue of Marie Claire India. To get her look, apply a dash of blueish lavender shadow pulled across the lid and upwards at the corner. The look is both innocent with just a touch of vamp. An all over wash of the lightest sparkly pink finishes the sweet but striking look. Genelia went with a bright coral look to keep with the color blocking theme, and a light dusting of peach blush on the apples of her cheeks.

March 2011 Loves!
Hey lovely friends! I moved and I'm pooped! Well, not really. We only moved 2 floors down lol. Hey, but it was still tiring. Packing, unpacking and cleaning is never fun! I also didn't have internet. I had to cancel our old account from ATT-Uverse and switched to Time Warner. It's the same great service, but soooo much cheaper, lik OMG! Never again ATT-Uverse!
But internet is back today and I can finally blog again YAY! I missed everyone and it felt really weird, like my day wasn't complete without blogger lol.
This post is going to be my March Loves. I haven't done these monthly favorites in awhile and I have some products that I've been loving that I want to share. I used a lot of Wet n Wild products this month and I can't get enough of them, especially the ColorIcon line. They are great quality and inexpensive.
Palette in Pride received so much abuse this month. I was able to create many different makeup looks using just this palette. It has a mix of matte and shimmery blues, greens and whites shadows. All gorgeous and pigmented shades.
ColorIcon blusher in Pearlescent Pink. I was reaching for this the most whenever I did my makeup. The bright pink with gold specs is just so pretty and I used it for both day and night time.
The Mega Last lip colors are amazing! These semi- matte lip sticks are so awesome, you're not gonna believe they're only $2.99 each. They are non-drying and the coverage is superb!
KKcenterhk flashes lashes. I was given an opportunity to try them out and I just love them. They're the only false lashes I've used this whole month.
C. Booth Black Licorice eye cream. A very inexpensive eye cream that kept my under eyes hydrated ^_^.
Pangea Organics lip balm. I've been using this ever since I got it from my Birchbox package. I had to put aside my other lip balms because this is far by the best! It's very moisturizing, heals dry lips and it last long.
What are your favorites this month? Let me know if you did your own March Favorites on your blog so I can check it out!

•Art Inspired Makeup * Van Gogh's "Starry Night"•
Hello, girls! How are you today? You know what? Lately I haven't been liking any of the makeup looks that I do, I just think that either I am bad at makeup or my camera has something with me :(... 'Cause most of the times I am satisfied with what I create, but when I look at my pictures I just find the makeup AWFUL! Well not all the times, just lately... I really hope that you'll forgive my lack of skills, somehow I like the idea, but not the outcome. It's just one of those weeks :(... But enough of me whining, :P, today I'm going to show you another makeup look inspired by a famous painting, "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Hope you like it! ^.^
*
Buna fetelor! Voi ce mai faceti? Stiti ce? In ultima vreme nu mai imi plac deloc machiajele pe care le fac. Am impresia ca ori am devenit eu stangace (daca nu eram deja) ori aparatul meu de fotografiat are ceva cu mine :(... Pentru ca initial sunt multumita de rezultat, dar dupa ce vad pozele, le tai si pun watermark, parca nu mai imi place nimic din ce vad, mi se par groaznice! Poate nu tot timpul, dar in ultimele dati da. Sper ca-mi veti ierta lipsa indemanarii intr-ale machiajului din viitoare LOTDs, am niste saptamani mai...ciudate, cred! :P Dar gata cu tanguiala, astazi vreau sa va arat un machiaj inspirat de un tablou celebru, "Noapte instelata" de Van Gogh. Sper sa va placa, totusi! ^.^
Start of by applying a primer and a white base all over the lid. Then take the first eyeshadow, a shimmery yellow color and apply it on the inner corner of the eye.
*
Incepeti prin a aplica un primer si o baza alba mata pe toata suprafata pleoapei. Apoi selectati un galben sidefat si plasati-l in coltul intern al ochiului.
Then take the next color, a medium shimmery blue, and place it next to the yellow. Blend just a little with the yellow eyeshadow. We don't want them fading out, as the yellow will represent them moon and we need it well defined. If we blend too much the blue into the yellow, it will become green, and we don't need that shade on our lid.
*
Selectati urmatoarea culoare, un albastru mediu sidefat si aplicati-l chiar langa galben. Amestecati doar putin culorile, nu blenduiti prea mult. Galbenul va reprezenta luna si stelele, care sunt bine definite in tablou. Daca blenduim prea mult albastrul cu fardul galben, riscam sa obtinem un verde intre ele, si nu vrem asta aici, pentru acest look cel putin. It's painting inspired, so think canvas, not just makeup :)
After the medium blue, take a darker blue with glitters and apply it right next to it. Now we want a better blending. After that, start defining the crease and the outer corner with an ink/night sky blue eyeshadow, blending it towards the browbone.
*
Dupa albastrul mediu, selectati un albastru mai inchis si aplicati-l langa. Acum este momentul sa amestecam bine nuantele de albastru. Apoi vom defini coltul extern si pliul cu un albastru inchis cerneala sau cer de noapte, blenduind inspre arcada.
Now take a flesh tone color and apply it on your browbone. Diffuse the dark blue but let it look cloudy on the lid. Repeat with the same dark blue eyeshadow on the lower lashline.
*
Acum aplicati un fard sidefat de culoarea pielii pe arcada. Amestecati cu albastrul inchis dar lasati culoarea sa para precum un cer innorat, de innoptare. Repetati cu albastrul inchis pe pleoapa inferioara.
Now it's time for the fun part, the glitter :) This will represent the stars on the night sky. So take some yellow glitter and apply it on the center part of the lid. We don't want to overpower the colors, just to give the look a starry shine. Apply some iridescent blue glitter on the lower lashline. This is different as it will represent the lights in the town.
*
Acum e timpul pentru partea distractiva: sclipiciul! :) Acesta va reprezenta stelele pe cerul albastru. Asa ca selectati putin sclipici auriu si aplicati-l pe centrul pleoapei superioare. Nu vrem ca acesta sa acopere pleoapa in intregime, doar alocuri. Aplicati sclipici albastru iridescent pe pleoapa inferioara - luminile orasului de sub cerul instelat.
Line your top lashline with a dark blue eye liner. I used Elf's "Midnight" liquid liner. Then apply a dark blue eye pencil on the waterline and add mascara to your top and bottom lashes.
For the cheeks, use a pale nude blush and on the lips, some brown lipliner topped with some glittery pink gloss.
*
Trasati conturul pleoapei superioare cu un tus lichid albastru inchis. Eu am foslosit "Midnight" de la Elf. Apoi aplicati un creion albastru inchis pe waterline si rimel pe genele superioare si inferioare.
*
Pentru obraji am folosit un maro pal iar pentru buze, creion waterproof maro si luciu de buze rozaliu cu sidef auriu.
