There were two big lip-color trends at the shows: daring red-pink (cue Best Actress nominees Sandra Bullock and Vera Farmiga) and ever-so-soft, glossy mauve (see Rachel McAdams and Anna Kendrick). Each tone makes a huge difference in its own beautiful way.

I’d copy them with either of these:

Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Hot Summer Nights $14

Motives Full Color Lip Shine in Tease $16.95

Which one would you use first?

Today has been a fabulous day — not only am I getting ready to receive an award at fashion Miami, but a few of my friends just emailed me this great post from Beautysnob.com.

It turned out to be especially helpful — considering it’s about Motives® by Loren Ridinger Lustrafy High Definition Mascara (which I’m planning to wear tonight)!

Karen Elson is one of my favorite models. Off duty, she runs an amazing vintage shop called Venus and Mars: The Showroom in Nashville, where she lives with her husband Jack White of the White Stripes and is currently recording her first album.

So to say that Karen Elson is cool is an understatement. And her boundary-pushing personality plays a huge part in her beauty picks as well. Here, she manages to pull off two seemingly at odds shades—pale orange eyeshadow and pinkish-red lips—and makes it look simple. The feel is certainly quirky, but as long as you go easy on the mascara and blush the end result has a pretty, I-make-my-own-rules vibe.

Try these two products to get the look at home:

Motives Pressed Eye Shadow in Taboo, $12

Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Tomato Red, $14

On Saturday night, I attended the 42nd Annual Miami Heart and Stroke Ball that was hosted by the American Heart Association – which you all know is very important to me and that I support the AHA with Motives® Go Red Rich Formula Lipstick. It was an absolute honor to be the recipient of the Big Heart – Go Red For Women Award that night! You can read more about the event on Miami Beats and Sazon, a blog written by the lovely Susset Cabrera. Also, here are some pictures of mine from the evening:

I took a look at Bethany’s YouTube channel, Macbarbie07, and completely fell in love! This was definitely something I would have done at her age – so unique and and cutting edge. Bethany’s latest segment is on Motives, which I thought was important to share with you all because it’s from a young woman’s point of view. She also physically compares our products to other brands so you can actually see that Motives has the same (if not better) quality and pigment. Take a look:

This video is such an inspiration for other teens who want to experiment with makeup… or if they want to try Motives & Me!

Lots of love,

A decade since her last album, Sade’s Soldier of Love is No. 1 on the charts. The singer hasn’t aged a day, and neither has her iconic style. And I love how her signature red lipstick/wrapped ponytail/skinny-gold-hoop earrings look works for day or night.

Gray nails have been working their way up to a full-fledged beauty trend for a few months now—actually almost a year. But when the king of classic, polished style sends them down the runway they take on a whole new persona. Up until now, the color has been reserved for young Hollywood starlets that wanted to partake in the dark, rocker trend without being that dark or that rocker. But when paired with one of Oscar de la Renta’s classic pencil suits, gray nail polish becomes, well, a classic too. Try Motives Nail Candy in Spellbound to get the look at home.

What is your go-to nail color?
