Guest Blogger Divarevolutions shows us how to get the LC look

Lauren Conrad is for a lot of us known a style icon. With her great approach on beauty and fashion, a lot of teenagers and women like to peel off the same looks she does. If that's a wrong idea? No, of course not, because she looks stunning!


Today I will show you how you can create this stunning look Lauren wore on a photoshoot. Knowing it's probably done by a make-up artist must not scare you: it's super easy to do yourself!

Start out by evening out your skintone: after applying your moisturiser, get your ''any coverage'', and gently dot it on your imperfections and under eyes



After that, get your ''mineral philosophy'' and dust a small amount on to your skin.

If you don't have that Californian sunkissed look (like me!), you can fake it with ''bronze baby'' bronzing powder, and to finish off the face, use a tiny amount of the ''Cheek tint'' in ''pink'' on your cheekbones, and set the face with''ballerina pink'', which is a great finishing powder with a pink mauve in it.

Now the most fun part's coming: the eyes!

We're first going to define the eyebrows by gently following the natural arch of the eyebrows. You can either use ''brow powder'' or ''brow sketch stick'' doing this. Then, take ''primetime'' eyeshadowbase and apply it all over your eyelid. By applying this, your eyeshadow will last longer and it won't crease.

After applying the base, we are going to get ''creme''eyeshadow, and apply this all over the eyelid. This evens out your eyelid. Get '' Smudge Sketch Stick'' to rim the outer part of your lower lashline, and smudge it with the smudgebrush that comes with the Sketch Stick. Then get Smudge Sketch Stick again, and line your upper lashline. To get a cute shimmery effect at the outercorner, get''witchcraft'' eyeshadow with the smudgeside of the Smudge Sketch Stick, and smudge it over the outer 3rd of the upper eyelid.

Then, curl your lashes and apply 2 or 3 coats of ''lashware''mascara, because we want to create gorgeous thick and long lashes.
For the lips, use ''glossware'' in ''peach'', and apply''lipglaze'' on top of that, to get the perfect shine.

And then we're finished! It it súper easy, and it takes only 10 minutes of your time. Pretty cool, huh?

Thanks for reading this blog, and i'll talk to you guys later!

xoxo Annemiek

Jessica Kumari, Channel 1 News

She's an anchor for Channel One news, played in schools across the country every monrning.


How'd you become a reporter?:
My first “on air” job was at News 12 The Bronx – a local 24 hour cable station in NYC. I had a 3 week “trial” period where they tested me out and made me shoot, edit and report…I had never studied journalism …didn’t know how to use a camera…and cried every single day when I got home because it was so hard...but I was so determined to “pass” the trial period I did…and it’s been much better ever since!
Advice for others wanting to do the same:
Never give up! If you really want something go after it – don’t let ANYONE discourage you (one producer told me I’d never make it because I wasn’t pretty enough)
Nickname:
Jessie (but only my Mom can call me that!)
Biggest phobia:
Believe it or not – flying in planes…I travel so much but still get nervous any time there’s turbulence
Beauty product I can’t live without:
mascara…a girl’s gotta have long eyelashes!
Favorite story/assignment:
hmmm this is a hard one…I’ve done a lot of fun stories…despite all the places I’ve been, my first international story is my favorite. I covered the melting glaciers in Bolivia. I got to climb a glacier…it was so cool!
What best describes me: a) girly, b) tomboy, c) total glam, d) a little of everything
Definitely a little of everything…depending on the day…sometimes even the time of day!
In 10 years I want to be:
working as a Network reporter
My idol is:
My Mom…she is the coolest person in the world…and she’s given me so much support and love
What I get the most compliments on:
my work ethic – I work really hard!
Most embarrassing moment:
When I was working for the show Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, I was filling in for the Executive Producer’s assistant. I was taking his calls when Dick Ebersol called…he’s in charge of NBC Olympics and started Saturday Night Live…I didn’t realize he was a big deal and told him my boss was too busy to talk…biiiiiig mistake!
Best beauty tip I’ve ever gotten:
blend blend blend! (eye makeup..foundation..blush…whatever!)
My friends make fun of me for:
a lot! Hmmm chewing gum nonstop, going to bed early, putting ketchup on everything!
One thing I wish I knew 5 years ago:
Enjoy everything and everyone…laugh more…there will always be time to work hard and sometimes you just need to relax and have fun!

Guest Blogger MB Fashion Diva shares beauty tips

Beauty Treatments and Beauty Tricks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beauty Treatmentz~


Natural Exfoliater??

Yes, there are many Natural Ingredients which you can use for Exfoliating, Scrub, Moisturizing, etc. Well here is one special ingredient for exfoliating!
Sea Salt. Yes, Sea Salt. You first rinse your face with warm water, and grab about a tablespoon of the Sea Salt in your hand, and start scrubbing. (Please Avoid the eyes) (use your hands to scrub, or use a warm small washcloth) Wait for 2-3 minutes, them rinse with cold water. This is a great way to exfoliate.
Another Great way to Exfoliate is a special Trick, that was shown in Youtube Beauty Guru "Michelle Phan" beauty videos.

All you need is a tomato, and some sugar! Simple! First you cut the tomato in half, (pour a bit of sugar on a clean plate) you then grab one half of the tomato and pat it on top of the sugar, make sure the downside is evenly coated with sugar. (make sure you rinse your face first!) You then start scrubbing your face, make sure you scrub in circular motions. (Check her video out! Tomato Scrub!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skin Care Tips:

* Make sure to exfoliate at least once a week

* A Good body scrub removes dead and flakey skin

* When outside (park, beach, open mall, garden, outside during daylight) make sure to to wear a pinch of sunscreen, more importantly on the face, If your not protected, the sun will damage your skin, it is best to keep your skin healthy.

* For clean and smooth skin, you gotta keep hydrated (Water, and Sheilding Lotion- ex. Skin MD Natural)

* When you have acne, or pimples, or zits...DO NOT cover it up with makeup!! It will just get worse, by covering it up with makeup the pimple, zit, acne, etc. won't be able to breath, causing it to bloat up and get worse! So please, take care of your skin! If it is an important day, a light pinch of foundation won't hurt if it is only temporary, but after the moment; day PLEASE remove your makeup and let your skin breath!



Hair Care Tips-

* To Much Ironing your hair, with absolutley damage your hair, no doubts.

* You know there are also many other ways to curl your hair rather than burning your hair with an iron to curl it, (Sally Beauty offers many Hair curlers, which have positive beautiful results, checkout my Sally Beauty Curlformers Review for more info on the curlers!)

* By applying to much hair product (mousse, Hair spray, volume spray, hair perfume, etc.) not only will it damage your hair, but by using too much of these products there is a result or your hair ending up like "blegh!" so please care for your hair ;)

Maintaining your shape -tips-:

* Drink lots of water everyday (I usually drink 1 liter a day, and sometimes 2, but dont push yourselves, by drinking two water bottles a day your fine, you just need to keep hydrated!)

* Don't go Pills, Sugery, medicine just to get a perfect figure, I mean if you get surgery you might get a figure....but not natural figure, not the 'toned' figure, not the 'curvy' figure.

* Will I loose Fat (or weight) if I eat less?? No! You won't you will in fact gain weight if you eat less, or probably get Amnorexia! You need to feed your metabolism, your Metabolism is what burns that fat and those calories, and if you don't feed it with proper food it will just build up more and more fat.

* Do I really have to workout? Yes! I mean your not going to loose weight or fat just by sitting around, you need to eat properly and excersize, but dont go overboard. One thing is to workout, another is killing yourself with gym, dont push yourself its bad! Here is a program that does have effect, it also explains the diet on what healthy food to eat, and your workout in the morning! ("8 Minutes in the Morning to a Flat Belly Kit") Yes, only 8 minutes in the morning, you follow this kit, a 6 week routine of only 8 minute workout in the morning. So don't overwork yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be sure to sleep atleast 8 hours, everyone needs their rest and their beauty sleep! :)

Janette Manrara Interview

You've seen her on "So You Think You Can Dance" and dancing with Univision TV. She also won best actress in Miami-Dade County her Senior Year of High School. She's danced with numerous artists in the hispanic community (Celia Cruz, Willy Chirino, David Bisbal, just to name a few). The studio she dances with (DanceTown) has won 7 National Dance Competitions across the U.S. in the past 5 years!

PS: Make sure to scroll down for a super cute pic of Janette as a little girl :-)






Nickname: "Morena"! My dance teacher has called me that since I was a kid because I always had a tan from the beach. It happens when you grow up in Miami, FL!
Biggest phobia: Definitely roaches!!! Yuck! LOL!
Beauty product I can't live without: Concealer and Mascara! LOL! I like having big and circle free eyes!
Favorite off camera outfit: I'd must admit.... Sweats and a comfy T-Shirt! LOL!
Favorite gig: Without question, the So You Think You Can Dance Tour! It is unbelievable to see just how many people really appreciate me as a dancer and a person! It has been an amazing accomplishment for me!
What best describes me: a) girly, b) tomboy, c) total glam, d) a little of everything: I'll have to go with "D) a little bit of everything". I have girly moments, but I love soccer and baseball, and I can't help but enjoy the "glam" of being in front of cameras! LOL!
In 10 years I want to be:.... a mommy and married! But also a very successful actress/dancer!
My idol is: I can't say I have one.... I look up to different individuals for different qualities that they have. I truly learn and grow from so many people that I meet or read about.
What I get the most compliments on: Well, lots of people tell me they love my spunky personality! :)
Most embarrassing moment: Oh Gosh... How to pick! LOL! It's between: 1) my first day of high school with a huge band aid on my neck because I had just had two cysts removed, and not to mention with braces I had just gotten a week before, or 2) when I fell right over my dance partner and rolled on the floor... again, ROLLED on the floor, while in a dance competition doing a Tango number. I don't know... it's a tough one! LOL
Stupidest rumor I've heard about myself: Well it's not really a rumor, but apparently everybody thinks I'm a lot taller than what I actually am! LOL! I definitely get the, "Oh my gosh! You look so much taller on TV!" comment every time I meet someone! But that good.... it means I dance tall and proud! LOL
Best beauty tip I've ever gotten: I was taught how to apply eye shadow! Wow! Amazing what proper eye shadow etiquette can do to make your eyes that much prettier!
My friends make fun of me for:..... being addicted to Disney and Jim Carrey! LOL! I can't help it! I'm a kid and comedian at heart!
One thing I wish I knew 5 years ago: Nothing. I think everything in life happens for a reason and whatever decisions I have made in the past were for a bigger purpose in my life. I've learned so much and I've grown as an individual from all of my experiences. I wouldn't want to have known anything more than what I
did at the time.
