GLAM Girl of the Week: Beyoncé

beyonce1.jpgWho: Beyoncé Knowles - MASTER PERFORMER, singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, spokesmodel, designer, perfumer, globetrotter… (did I miss anything?)

Why: Why not? Love her or loathe her, Beyoncé is here to stay. Her face is flawless, her figure is AMAZING (those curves defy gravity), and she can actually sing. Did you see her phenomenal performance at the BET Awards earlier this week? Though she may have snagged the overall concept from Kylie Minogue or Michael Jackson, Beyoncé still made me get out of my seat and shake my groove thang to her hit single Get Me Bodied. And the coolest part - not once did she lose her breath during the performance!

See for yourself:

The Bun – Bun-dle it up far a classic updo.
Short Bob – Keep it short and sweet.
Long Bob – Take this classic to a new length.

Junkie Obsession du Jour: Smashbox Fusion Body Powder Set in The Strip

smashbox.jpgAre you in the market for a new bronzer? Be sure to check out The Fusion Body Powder Set in The Strip by Smashbox ($55). Granted, I totally realize this bronzer is for the body - but I’ve been using it for my face, and it’s just as good. This tri-color compact comes with a totally cute kabuki powder brush (which totally aids in an even application), and adds warmth to my deep complexion with hues of shimmering pearl, bronze, and gold.

If you’re like me – adding an extra step to your beauty routine is just not an option. I am not, I repeat, not one for extra work in the morning during the summer. I like to do the bare minimum, being that I’m usually mentally comatose before noon. Anyway, The Fusion Body Powder Set in The Strip is the easiest way to look “alive,” and it almost looks even better if you wear it alone (or maybe with mascara). It’ll give your face a bright boost of a flawless, multi-dimensional golden color (it’s not flat at all!), plus it’s scented, so it’s almost like powdered face perfume. Visit Smashbox.com to check it out!

GLAM Girl of the Week: Rihanna

rihanna_ew.jpg

Who: Robyn RIHANNA Fenty

Why: This Caribbean songstress has my heart. She’s truly my favorite singer right now. Last night, I stopped by Entertainment Weekly’s Ultimate 100 party at Gotham Hall here in NYC – and I had a blast. Rihanna was the featured performer of this beach-themed party, and after she finished performing, she changed her clothes and came out into the venue to party with us! It was an intimate affair (by NYC standards of course) – maybe 1,000 people and a slew of B-list celebs (Ice-T and Coco, Selita Ebanks, Amerie, model Chanel Iman, Gilbert Godfrey (LOL), Pras, & Rachel Hunter) – but to see Rihanna on the main floor, snapping pictures, dancing, chatting with friends AND fans was a heart-warming sight. Not only is she incredibly gorgeous, but she’s genuinely humble and sweet – and that’s why she’s my GLAM girl of the week – for the third time. Let’s see if she’ll make this list a 4th time. ;)

Junkie Obsession du Jour: Sparkling Peach

Being that I was born and raised in the south, Georgia to be exact, I have a strong affinity for peaches – seriously, I have a peach tattooed on my lower back. (Wait, was that TMI?) Anyway, yesterday I was perusing the latest beauty products at an exclusive press preview when I came across my new favorite scent – Sparkling Peach Eau de Toilette from Bath & Body Works. (It took everything in me to tear myself away from the Bath & Body Works table and move on.) Imagine the bliss I experienced when I opened my gift bag later that evening to find the fragrance nestled at the bottom. Oh Joy!
sparkling-peach.jpg
To say this scent smells good would be an understatement. Notes include Georgia peach nectar, amber, musk, nectarine, grapefruit, jasmine, and more.

perfume.gifIronically enough, on the subway this morning, the guy sitting next to me was reading Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind, as was I (so weird), and we got into a deep conversation about the book – and the peach perfume I’m wearing today. Turns out, I’m not the only one that fell in love with this vibrant fragrance instantly. ;)

If you like juicy, fruity fragrances, scurry to your local Bath & Body Works, or visit www.bbw.com to pick up a bottle of this orchard peach ecstasy. It’s only $18.50, and it’s worth every penny.

Beauty Rush features the best-selling lip gloss Appletini… get the connection? Over 11,000 gallons of Appletini products have been sold this spring, so there was definitely good cause for a celebration!

-It’s 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide
-Can hold 40 gallons
-Can serve over 1,200
-Would take 200 bottles of alcohol to fill
-Would cost $6,000
-Uses a 4 feet wide coaster

Cheers! (Pun-intended)
