Bobbi Brown's Beauty Rules Book Giveaway

Who isn't a fan of makeup artist Bobbi Brown? I've always loved Bobbi Brown for natural-looking makeup and style. Now all her beauty and makeup tips come to life in her new book, Beauty Rules: Fabulous Looks, Beauty Essentials, and Life Lessons for Loving Your Teens and Twenties (published by Chronicle Books). As a firm believer in good skincare, her natural beauty focus is an inspiration and I love how a lot of the models in the book are real girls and women she found out and about. My favorite parts of the book are the step by step makeup application techniques that are paired with large photos. The gorgeous photos in the book alone will keep you occupied! She also gives tips according to ethnicity, and I love some of her tips for Asian skin and makeup. She also brings in real women case studies and tips on self-confidence so we can all get the most out of life. Thanks Bobbi Brown for bringing a diverse and real look into skincare and beauty!

Transition to Fall Looks

Louis Vuitton Inclusion Rings

I recently was in the Louis Vuitton boutique and tried on the Louis Vuitton Inclusion Ring ($235 online or at their boutiques). Each ring is available in 5 colors (marron, transparent, white, rose pop, orange) and features Monogram charms along with floating Swarovski crystals. The photos don't do it justice because each colored ring has different crystals and nuances in their design. They also look pretty amazing on and can give a special "pop" to an outfit.
