Bringing Into The Light - Boots No7

Cover Girl, L'oreal, and Revlon are well-known over-the-counter makeup brands. They dominate the market when it comes to affordable beauty products. But I would like to bring to light Boots No7, “Britain’s #1 cosmetic and skin care beauty brand.” Although it was featured on Entertainment Tonight, compared to other over the counter brands, Boots No7 is not quite well-known in the US. Just go to your nearest Target to get the beauty product of your choice. Boots No7 ranges from eyeliner and eye shadow to anti-firming cream. If you want that European makeup brand, but Dior or Lancome are just too expensive, go to Boots No7. For the price, you get more than your money’s worth. The eyeliners, eye shadows and mascara are long-lasting, and they don't give you a cakey look. The foundations and powders are light and do not clog up your pores. They just make your skin looking smooth, natural and flawless. They have products that reduce the puffiness under your eyes and a range of moisturizers for all skin types. Honestly, there are so many products that Boots No7 provides, that I can't talk about all of them. Check out the U.S. Boots website at http://www.shopbootsusa.com. If you want to know about a specific product, look it up for reviews from not only users but also professional beauticians at Total Beauty (http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews/brands/boots). I am personally a huge fan of the brand because not only is it in my price range, the products actually work.

Sweetness and Glamorous


When we think of winter, we tend to think of dreary weather, staying indoors and Christmas. It is not summer anymore! We cannot play up our looks with summer dresses, shorts and tank tops. Well, we can, but you don’t want to freeze up while trying to look your best. For the winter, we want to be able to stand out in all this gray, and it seems this winter season, trends point out to two things - sweet and glamorous. Both go for simplicity, but in different ways.

floral and whimsy looks

The sweet look incorporates many floral and whimsy looks. Fabrics that seem to flow with every step you take, gives the idea of delicateness. Neutral colors of pink, beige and brown add softness to the wearer. Earthy colors makes a person feel grounded and laid-back. When wearing these tones, sometimes that pop of red or yellow turns the sweet look into boldness. For the winter time, the sweet look gives feelings of effervescence and freedom. To add to the mix, make-up should be natural to feel as if you are part of the wintery nature. For more color in makeup, it is all about eye shadows and lip color, but too much of that and it won’t look good!   When it comes to accessories, keep it simple. Try not to pair up outfits with too much chunk. The sweet look makes statements through the articles of clothing rather than through the accessories. Keep it all looking natural.

Glam fashion look

Glam fashion look

Glam, glam, glam! It’s all about shimmery, glittery and classy! The glam look is all about enhancing all your classic looks through accessories. You’re going for simple, clean and sophisticated. The staple colors would be black, white, and gray. Dark blues and reds also add to the mix. Whether it is patterned or solid color, some glitter or shimmer is a bonus. The glitter and shimmer just makes everything more festive. Make sure you at least have leggings! With leggings, you can match it with an oversized shirt, under a skirt, with a dress, anything! Be careful with leggings as well. Paired with the wrong thing and leggings just make you feel heavy and stuffy. Heels and boots of all kinds go with being glammed up! It also gives that added color to the outfit if you don’t want to look too monotone. Accessories are what makes glam be glam. Any accessory can work, but go for the metallic colors and crystal-like accessories. Handbags, clutches and purses can have some glitter and shimmer to it. For make-up, it’s all about the eyes. We want to intensify how the eyes look. Lip color should be a shade of red for some boldness. In all, for the glam look, outfits should be simple so that accessories can do the talking. It’s all about being sleek and sexy.

Two looks. Two ways to go about the winter season.\ There’s no way you can complain that there is nothing to do for the season.
