Red Carpet Beauty with Glam Beauty Board

I love watching the red carpet but nothing will beat the red carpet of the Oscars this Sunday. Of course for every dazzling dress and flawless look, there are lots of beauty tools and more that can help you look your very best. As part of the Glam Beauty Board, this season the Glam Beauty Board members all received an extra special Red Carpet Beauty Box filled with goodies that will help us get red carpet ready.

Hollywood Fashion Tape ($11.50): Whenever you need your dress to fit just the right way this tape is amazing. The small double-sided pieces of tape work well to have fabric adhere both to your skin or just the fabric to make sure you aren't showing too much of yourself.

Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes ($12): I love these soft, fresh wipes to clean makeup. They are
fragrance free and are perfectly sized for travel so you can pop one into your bag when you are on the go. Proceeds of the wipes also benefit the Polar Bear SOS Initiative that helps save these endangered animals.

BITE Beauty Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil ($22): I'm a lip gloss lover and this lip plumper contains 99% natural cinnamon and Resveratrol-infused lip oil to naturally hydrate and shine lips. I love the cinnamon spicy smell!

KHROMA Beauty Sidelong Glance Lash Set ($7.46): From the new makeup line by the Kardashian gals, I love this compact eye shadow duo that comes with a pair of false eyelashes.

R.J. Graziano "Star Attraction" Large Stone Medallion Drop Earrings ($39.95): These earrings are showstoppers and are the perfect statement earrings to wear on a night out. I wore them out to dinner for my hubby's birthday dinner pairing it with a sleek black outfit. The earrings feature a hematite-color acrylic stone that shines perfectly against the gold hardware.

Remington TIStudio Silk Ceramic Wide Styling Wand ($29.99): This no clamp curling wand let's you easily wrap your hair around to create loose wavy locks or tight curls. I personally love the loose waves look and this curling wand does the trick with my straight hair. The 1" - 1.5" barrel let's you really define the size your curls. It also comes with a glove to protect your hands from heat.

Rembrandt Deeply White + Peroxide 2 Hour Whitening Kit ($19.97)
Rembrandt Peroxide Mouthwash ($4.99)
Rembrandt Peroxide Toothpaste ($19.48 for pack of 2)

If I knew whitening my teeth at home would be so easy, I would have tried this ages ago! The Rembrandt 2 hour whitening kit that comes with everything you need to get your teeth sparkling white. The comfytray applicators fit comfortably on my teeth. The mouthwash and toothpaste taste great and as a big coffee drinker I like how these products will strengthen my tooth enamel and keep my smile looking it's very best.

Note: All products for review were provided by Glam for the Glam Beauty Board.

Go Green this Spring with Drops of Jupiter India Green Gold Earrings

In case you haven't heard the buzz, emerald green is the color for 2013 according to Pantone. I believe the best and most inexpensive way to spruce up your wardrobe each season is through accessories. These Drops of Jupiter India Green Gold Earrings ($48 at Layla Grace) is strongly convincing me that I need a splash of green in my life.

Kate Spade Locked In Wide Bangle

I love Kate Spade's stud design that has adorned their handbags. Now this iconic design is featured in some of their new jewelry pieces. My favorite is the Kate Spade Locked In Wide Bangle ($148). It's the perfect bold piece to add to your wardrobe to stack up or wear alone and features shiny gold plated metal. There's also a Locked In Thin Bangle ($88) if you like them thinner. These kinds of bracelets are essential because they work perfectly for the work week and also upcoming holiday parties at night.

Congratulations to Sheri from Orange, CA for winning a pair of feistyelle stacked lotus earrings in my recent giveaway. Thanks to everyone who entered. Stay tuned for an amazing giveaway on Monday!

Each necklace is cast from a mold of real farfalle pasta and created with the lost wax process in brass and sterling silver. Each pasta is finished by hand. Hand painted enamel patterns are available in Lavender Stripe, Black Tie, Teal Dot, as well as a polished Sterling Silver option.

Feistyelle Giveaway - Eco Chic Handmade Jewelry

Whenever I used to work craft fairs, my favorite thing to do was to take a break and walk around to admire and shop for jewelry. Leslie Yang of Feistyelle was always one of my favorites as she showed off her gorgeous bold earrings, necklaces, hair clips, and brooches. All of her pieces are designed and made by hand in San Francisco and feature pieces inspired by nature. Feistyelle is committed to using eco friendly materials like bamboo ply, 100% wool felt, and vegan suede.

The best way to refresh your wardrobe is with jewelry and I love that feistyelle's pieces don't break the bank. In fact, her jewelry was featured on The Today Show in a segment called Fashion Emergency (Jewelry $12 and Up). I also love her No Earring Left Behind policy where you can order a replacement earring if you lose just one of them. Brilliant right?
