Hello Divas!
How was your Christmas? Mine was great! The best part about this Christmas was watching the luxe kids open all of their gifts and getting everything they wanted. Plus luxe baby screamed WOOOOOW!!! with each gift she opened! Priceless!
As you can see Luxetips has a new look! Yes I finally decided to go with a more luxe and pretty design that is truly a reflection of me. However, I can't take all of the credit. Franki D of Life In A Venti Cup, actually found the image. She is a super FABULOUS designer and apparently knows me well. When she sent me the image, I was like...yep that is me! Love her! I then took the image to Zoe of Chic and Sassy Designs and she added custom features to go with the image. Her addition included luxe baby playing in my purse and trying to put on my makeup, which is so very on point. So cute! She also added little touches such as the shoes, handbag, phone, keys, etc.
Divas if you are looking for a new look, be sure to check out Chic and Sassy Designs. Plus visit Franki's blog! It is simply Gorgeous!

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 11: Glowing Holiday Make-Up
Hello Divas!
How was your day? If you are like me, you are still trying to get those last minute gifts before Christmas! Last minute shopping always gets me in the Christmas spirit.
We are almost done with 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Of course in order to complete our luxe look, we must wear gorgeous holiday make-up! Yep, I saved the best for last! LOL! During the holidays I want to glow. So I am going to use shimmery blushes, bronzers, and shimmmery eyeshadow for that sun-kissed look. As for lip color, I may go with a bronzy nude for Christmas Eve and for Christmas Day, a dark wine or gorgeous red! Here are some products I am contemplating for Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Bobbi Brown Nude Eye Palette. Every Diva knows Bobbi Brown makes the best palettes! They are limited edition and always sell out. I love this Nude Eye Palette. It contains mattes, pearlized, and metallic shimmer colors. I would use the shimmers to create a festive holiday eye and the pinkish white to highlight the inner corner my eye. Gorgeous!

Lancome Hypnose Mascara. I love my Defencils, but this mascara creates separation, definition, and volume!

To achieve the ultimate glow, you must have a very good bronzer or blush. You guys know how much I love NARS blushes. However, their Irrestiblement Bronzer is fab! Apply it to your brown bones, cheek bones, and anywhere else you want a nice glow.

Revlon Foiled lip gloss is a fantastic bronzy pink lip gloss for a great price! It has insane shine and is super moisturizing.

Also Revlon's Black Cherry lipstick is a gorgeous dark wine that I will wear on Christmas Day! It is simply gorgeous!

What make-up will you wear on Christmas Day?

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 10: Festive Handbags!
Hello Divas!
It beginning to look like Christmas! Boy luxe son and I love that song! And Christmas is now so close.
We are winding down our 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas. I hope it has been as fun for you guys as it has been for me.
On Day 10 we focus on festive handbags. What type of bag will you carry to rock with your fabulous holiday attire? I am thinking cute little clutches and bags with tons of sparkle and bling! Yes! My kind of bags. Here are a few bags I think would go perfect with most holiday attire.
This gold sequin handbag can go with mostly any outfit. I call gold a neutral with pizazz! This bag is small enough to carry to a party, plus it has a cute chain strap!

I love Micheal Kors and he does not disappoint with this Gunmetal Metallic Clutch. It is roomy yet still compact! Grab this bag wearing a dress, leggings and boots, or whatever! It will work.

There is something so pretty and decadent about this Spiegel Rosette Bag. It is just so lovely! I would definitely wear this bag with a simple but cute silver or black and white shift dress.

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 9: Beautiful Tights!
Hello Divas!
Is your week filled with Christmas joy and cheer? The key to a wonderful Christmas is staying positive and remembering the reason for the season...to give and to love!
I am a tights fanatic! I LOVE tights! I mean absolutely love them! I have different colors and patterns and they make any outfit pop.
This season tights were a big hit! Bright colors are popular as well as fishnets, diamonds, and other patterns. I always get my tights from Target. I have found that the tights are of extreme good quality...I have purchased tights from Target 4 years ago and they still are in perfect condition! Gotta love Target. The tights are also affordable...between $5 and $9 bucks. Why pay more when you can have the same thing for less? Here are some tights I think will look great with your holiday dress, skirt, or sweater.
Diamond or any other textured black tights are always sexy!

Add a punch of color to a black dress!

What brand of tights do you absolutely love?

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 8: Fly Booties!
Hello Divas!
Life is hectic but my Christmas Tree is gorgeous and I am ready for Christmas! I know my 12 days are behind, but let's get to it!
Nice footwear is important during the holidays! You want a pair of shoes that are cute enough to go with your cute holiday attire, but also very comfortable. As we know the holidays can be work! Since it is freezing outside, I think a gorgeous bootie is the perfect shoe to pair with your holiday dress or chunky sweater and leggings. Booties come in so many different styles you are sure to find the perfect pair to rock this Christmas! Here are some of my favorites:
I know Forever 21 may not have the best quality items, but they sure are cute! Love, love, love this gold studded bootie. Perfect for the holidays!

Zaneli Janka Gray Suede Bootie. These are super cute and comfortable. The heel is only 2 3/4 inch. These will go perfect with a pair of leggings!

And if money was not an issue, I would certainly rock these for days on end.....Christian Louboutin Lace Button Bootie.

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 7: Gorgeous But Functional Holiday Attire
Hello Divas!
I know, I know. I am late delivering Day 6 and Day 7 of 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas. I was caught up shopping for the luxe kids. I am exhausted!
Days 1-6 focused on beauty and pampering yourself before Christmas Day. Christmas can be stressful, but if you take care of yourself first, you can just relax and enjoy the day.
Cute but comfortable holiday attire is a must during your holiday dinners and parties. Personally, I like a chunky sweater and leggings for casual family dinners and a baby doll or shift dress during holiday parties. The key is to make sure your clothes move with you and allow room for a stuffed tummy. You don't want your full stomach poking out in your holiday pictures. LOL! Here are few pieces I love for Christmas 09!
This Embroidered Dress from Forever 21 is cute and roomy!

I love this Abstract Art shift dress. It is mini but roomy and you can pair it with black or any other patterned tights!

A chunky winter white sweater is always a hit! I will have this with Leggings or Skinny Jeans please.

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day Six: Signature Holiday Scent!
Hello Divas!
Did you have a fantabulous week? I certainly did. I scored some Christmas gifts for Luxe Baby and I am thrilled!
I have to apologize because I labeled yesterday's post as Day 4 when it was Actually Day 5. Ooops! I am getting my days mixed up.
During the holidays there are always tons of parties and family gatherings to attend. Us Divas must look pretty and smell good during these soirees! I love a good scent to wear during the holidays. A scent that will turn heads or cause someone to give you a nice compliment is always nice.
I have found such a scent in the Tocca line of fine fragrances. Simply put Tocca Eau de parfums are outstanding. The scents are exotic yet unique. I really have not smelled anything like them. Seriously. Finding a unique fragrance is always refreshing! Tocca is an American based company with an international following. It is luxe, unique, and feminine. The beauty line includes several fragrances named after iconic women. There is Brigitte, (after Brigette Bardot), Cleopatra, Florence and Stella. I am in love with Brigitte. This is certainly a head turning fragrance. Plus the bottle is GORGEOUS! Love it!

You can purchase Tocca parfums at any Sephora.

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day Five: Yummy Holiday Fragrances!
Hello Divas!
How is your week going? I hope absolutely wonderful!
Are you enjoying the 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas? I hope so! It is so much fun!
During the holidays I always purchase a holiday inspired candle so my home can smell all Christmasy! A good pumpkin spice or cranberry candle can definitely put me in the mood for Christmas. I usually buy high end candles at Ross. You can get Yankee candles for up to 80% off. I love Ross for home products! Here are some of my favorite candles:
Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin. Smells just like a warm pumpkin pie. Divine.

Body Shop's Merry Cranberry Candle. This candle has such an intense berry smell. Plus this candle is soy based!

What scent or fragrance do you use to get you in the holiday spirit?

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day Four: Perfectly Groomed Eyebrows!
Hi Divas!
Are you in the holiday spirit? Well I am getting there. Luxe son and I finally decorated the Christmas Tree and it is so cute! Stay tuned for pics!
As I mentioned, one of my holiday rituals involves a fresh eyebrow wax. Remember looking gorgeous during the holidays is a MUST! There are too many holiday pictures to take.
Doesn't Halle have the absolute best eyebrows ever? Perfection.

Some Divas love threading. Threading provides a sanitary and precise eyebrow grooming experience. Threading is a bit too painful for me, so I prefer waxing and then tweezing. A good eyebrow specialist can tweeze your brows to perfection. Whatever your preference, book your appointment now so when Christmas rolls around your brows have settled and are perfect!
Here is a list of the top eyebrow specialists in the following cities:
Atlanta
Threading: Hair Images
Waxing: Wax
New York
Elke Von freudenberg
Washington, D.C.
Flaminia Garioni, Mobile Eyebrow Specialist
Los Angeles, CA
Bobbe Joy Makeup Studio
San Francisco
Eyebrows to Die For
Miami
Wax Spa
Who is your favorite eyebrow guru in your hometown?

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day Three: Holiday Mani/Pedi
Hello Divas!
How was your day? I hope it was simply wonderful!
Day Three in our 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas Series focuses on beautiful holiday mani/pedis. Although it may be too cold to show your toes, pampering yourself with a mani/pedi is a must during the holidays!
I recommend short but well manicured nails during the holiday season. All of the cool dark and sparkly holiday nail polishes look fantastic on short nails. Here are some of my favorite holiday colors:
Essie's Wicked. A rich dark deep wine. I simply love it! A cult classic.

OPI's Sapphire in the Snow. A rich purple. OPI has the best colors.

Revlon's Vixen. The less expensive version of Chanel's Vamp. Love!

Chanel's Trapeze. A taupish silver metallic that is all the rage for the holidays. Chanel polishes are a bit expensive, but they do set the trends. HOT!

Hello Divas!
How was your day today? I hope wonderful!
Day Two of 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas includes hot Holiday hair. I have a ritual I have been following for years that includes a fresh mani/pedi, eyebrow wax, and fresh hair do before Christmas and before New Years! I have to bring in the New Year gorgeous!

12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day One: Radiant Skin!
Hello Divas!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
I love Christmas! I love decorating, baking cookies with my kids, and Christmas shopping! I love the holidays!
Many bloggers are doing 12 days of Christmas posts and many of my beauty blogging friends are doing 12 days of beauty. Well I thought it would be fun to do 12 days of Luxetips (before Christmas) posts! My theme? Get luxe and fab for Christmas Day!
On Day 1, I recommend achieving radiant and beautiful skin so you can glow, glow, glow on the big day! Here are my luxetips for radiant skin:

1. Give yourself a mini-facial starting this week and next week. My girl, Mischo Beauty, hipped me to weekly mini-facials last summer. I mostly use Lumene products for my weekly mini-facials. My routine is as follows: I use a mild cleanser, toner, Lumene's ARCTIC TOUCH Clarifying Mineral Peeling (makes my skin as smooth as a baby's!), and Lumene's ARCTIC TOUCH Deep Cleansing Peat Mask.

2. I also recommend using a nightly intensive skin cream to reverse aging, clear blemishes, and achieve radiant skin. I have been hearing rave reviews about Avon's ANEW ULTIMATE Night Gold Emulsion cream. Women swear that after only 2 weeks of using this product, their skin is plumper, blemish free, and radiant. I have a jar and I am going to start using it tonight! I can't wait to share the results!
So Divas work on radiant skin for Christmas! We all need to look gorgeous in those Christmas pics!

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Burt Bee's Radiance Facial Cleanser
Hello Divas!
Happy Happy Hump Day!
By now, you Divas know how much I love a good facial wash. I especially love a facial wash that has natural or organic ingredients. I have super sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful about what I use on my face.

I have been using Burt's Bees Radiance Facial Cleanser for the past couple of weeks and I love it! This cleanser is 99% all natural and contains safflower, jojoba oil, bilberry, orange and lemon extract, and royal jelly. Yes royal jelly. Apparently royal jelly enhances your skin’s natural radiance. Royal Jelly is made from nectar, pollen, flower parts, vitamins, minerals, and bee hormones. Nice. All I know is that this product feels so soothing on my skin. It is creamy yet very light. It thoroughly cleans my face, but leaves it very soft and moisturized. Also it smells fantastic!
Burt Bee's Radiance Facial Cleanser retails for $10 and you can purchase it online here or at any CVS.

Borghese Nail Lacquer Carnevale Grape: Like Chanel's Vendetta But Less Expensive
Hello Divas!
I hope your life is wonderful! How is the weather in your area? The other night it was 25 degrees in Atlanta. Wow!
I have been lusting after Chanel's Vendetta nail polish for a few weeks. It is a rich dark purple that looks either black or like a deep wine depending on how the light hits it. Gorgeous! Recently I was browsing the aisle of my favorite CVS, and discovered Borghese Carnevale Grape nail polish. Divas it is a direct dupe of Chanel's Vendetta! It is the same deep dark purple with an insane shine! Believe me Divas the shine and color is insane. It is so intense. Love it! In addition all Borghese nail polishes contain Acqua di Vita Complex which helps restore essential moisture balance to your nails. But the best thing about this nail polish is that it is only $7.99! Chanel's Vendetta retails for $23! Woot!

Foot Petals Kit: A Must Have For Any Shoe Diva!
Hello Divas!
How has your week been going? Mine has been pretty good. Life is beautiful! Don't you love it?
Recently I was given the opportunity to try Foot Petals Luxury Kit. This kit includes all of the cool Foot Petals accessories that will keep your feet comfortable and pampered when wearing your mile high Louboutins!

You get:
8 Strappy Strips. These strips protect your feet from irritable shoe straps. It is particularly useful when wearing slingbacks or thong sandals.
8 ball-of-foot cushions. Place these cushions on the ball of your foot to provide a nice comfy cushion when wearing super high heels. Divas these ball-of-foot cushions are the business. When wearing them you don't feel like you are walking in stilettos! Love!
2 back-of-heel cushions. These cushions can be placed on the back of your heel or inside a mule to prevent your feet from slipping or to prevent irritation from shoe friction.
Sweaty Pedi. Sweaty Pedi is a fragrant foot spray that absorbs perspiration and protects your feet from blisters. It also keep your feet fragrant and soothes tired feet! Fab!
All of these goodies come in a cute black and white pouch that is perfect for holding all of your MUST HAVE shoe essentials. This kit is a GREAT Christmas gift for a true Shoe Diva! You know the one friend you have that owns tons of Louboutins and always has the flyest shoes! LOL! This kit is $39.95 and you can purchase it here or at any Nordstroms.
