It’s Spring LOVE!

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Spring has arrived and aren’t we all glad it’s here?!  I for one am happy to be living in a place where it is practically spring/summer all year round but for everybody else that’s welcoming the warmer temps  I know you are excited.

Well  the time is here to  talk new beauty looks for the spring!

So lets update ya!

Bronzer! I can’t start without this. Winter means no sun, and no means dull or pale skin! Please ladies no matter what skin tone you are from the lightest to the darkest, applying  a beautiful golden bronzer to your skin is a must. It makes your skin look radiant and your skin will have the best glow. Apply bronzer to your cheeks or allover your face, use it to replace blush. It’s the best thing you can do for a great healthy look to your skin!

For the best look apply Bronzer that is a shade darker than your skin tone, it will show up better and make you look like your from Brazil ; D

Foundation! O my how we all love a great new foundation! Last week on the FACEBOOK page I posted that Burberry had come out with a new foundation line, well the line has been around, but what is new are the darker foundation shades! I am a lover of all things Burberry especially their perfume so I did a little digging and I found out that 4 new shades have been added Trench 11, Trench 12, Trench 13, and Trench 14. But like all lux things there is a catch, the shades are only available overseas right now, so unless you’re planning a summer vaca to Europe you will be waiting for these shades to come across the pond!

My most favorite thing to do is get my NAILS done! so that’s my next must have for Spring LOVE

Boots off Sandals ON! It’s time to get mani – pedi’s and a fresh coat of your favorite nail polish. In my case it would be Cult Nails, nail polish in this amazing yellow shade!

or White nail polish, which brings out a tan beautifully!

Last but not least, how about easing into Spring with a soft Nude lipstick! You can’t go wrong with that perfect nude, it’s the perfect go to color when nothing else will do.

Although Jennifer Lawrence from the  new movie The Hunger Games is a bit pale here, she is rocking a sexy Nude lip, so I can’t be mad at her!

I would suggest LIP or Esther from the LM lipstick line

LIP is a beige NUDE and Esther has more of a Pink hue.

Both colors look amazing on every complexion!

Well there you have the Spring LOVE essentials. Email your beauty questions to info@lipstickmixtapes.com

Fashion in Orlando

Friday, July 1st, 2011

It’s been 2 weeks already since L’Haute Collection with Florida Fashion Lab and Orlando Live Streaming, and I must say what a great event. This was one of many of Orlando’s great fashion events this year and I’m glad I was apart of it. We have been on a roll making amazing fashion waves here in the city beautiful and with many days of hard work and long nights of planning it all payed off! I had an awesome time working again with Roquois and her team of amazing models and fashion designers! The event venue was Urban Rethink, which was the perfect backdrop for this NYC inspired show.

Lipstick Mixtapes, Spring Trend: BOLD LIPS

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Model: Kathrine

Eyes: Subtle  warm skin-tone eyeshadow on the eye , with shiny black winged liquid liner

Lips: Bold Orange lipstick  mixed with a deep red lip liner.  It’s important to work this color into the lip with a lip brush, it helps to blend the warm liner into the bold orange so that it;s not SO bright, leaving you with the perfect shade for your lips.

Cheeks: Because there is bold color on the lips, not much is needed on the cheeks,a soft beige y-pink is perfect to give more of a contour to the cheekbones.

Lipstick Mixtapes “Generating Hype”

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

April is starting off just right for Lipstick Mixtapes, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. The month  started with a Spring/Summer makeup tutorial for CultureClimax.com. An awesome video  teaching you how to get it right with new spring colors and not matching your makeup to your outfit, “no matchy matchy”. Head to the video page or Cultureclimax.com and check it out.

Next was the live internet interview with our friends OrlandoLiveStraming.com, that was “Thee BEST” . Host Peter Murphy was great,  he kept us on our toes with the questions he had  and the models looked gorgeous  in the Spring looks created for them.  It was a GREAT evening sharing our opinions on everything from Nicki Minaj to guys wearing makeup! We covered it all, I absolutely want to do it again, and I hope very soon.
