2012 MTV Movie Awards: Peplums & Fun Prints

I'm a loyal spectator of the MTV Awards, both movies and music.  I got really excited when they announce the date.  I like their ceremonies because they are more casual & fun than others.  The same happens with their red carpets.  Celebrities don't show up with super-expensive gowns and we can see a little more about their personal taste.  This year, the strong trends were peplum and rare prints/textures.  Here's a recap of my favorites!

1. Jessica Biel 

Even though I don't love the sleeves, the hair, the dress color and shoes are adorable!

 2. Charlize Theron

Gorgeous in red peplum!

 3. Elizabeth Banks

She looked so different and daring.  I'm a big fan of red carpet risks.

 

4. Julianne Hough

This peplum dress is so distinct from the ones you see at stores.

 5. Emma Watson

She looked young, fresh and comfortable in her printed dress.

 6. Emma Stone

This time she didn't impressed me at all, but OMG... look at those shoes!!!

 7. Mila Kunis

I think this dress is screaming out lout: summer-night-out!

 And now... some eye-candy for the girls!

Trend-ish. icon of June: Felicity Jones

 Have you ever pay attention to details in vintage girls faces?  Don't you think they have a peculiarity that modern girls don't have?  Maybe is the make-up, the hair... there is something about their eyes too that makes them look adorably different.  I think the Trend-ish. icon of this month has a vintage face/style.  For some reason, she manages to look cute enough to be compared to a 50's - 60's model.  Felicity Jones can look extremely innocent and incredibly sexy if she wants to.  Her photo-shoots are stunning since she is very unique and her bangs distinguish her from any other girl, (except from Zooey Deschanel, who is a look-a-like).  This stylish/English actress is the perfect Trend-ish. icon for June!

Making of: Trend-ish. Video-Editorial

 How fun was your long weekend?  Mine was outstanding!  I was busy making the first video-editorial for Trend-ish. last Sunday.  This is a new project named Trend-ish. TV and will be a new tab in my blog once is ready.  My job in the shoots is to style the clothes, hair and part of the make-up. I'm so thankful with the people that was part of the whole thing: Ramón Martínez (local producer and cameraman), Coral Pérez (friend and model), Le Menina Boutique (one of my sponsors) and of course, my boyfriend: Yan Torres (staff). It was a total success and I can't wait to show you the final result.  For now I'm just showing a preview and some making of photos.

Review: 33% Redhead with Garnier

So yeah, I want to become a red-head. Red is a very extreme/daring color and that's why I think it is better to start from a darker shade and then keep lighting it up. You know how much I love Garnier products from this post and this other one.  Of course I chose the Nutrisse Ultra Color to start my new journey, not only because is Garnier, but because it is exclusively designed to transform dark hair into any other color.  I started with the Dark Intense Auburn R1 and in the next couple of months I will continue with the Intense Medium Auburn R2.  Finally I'll end up with the Light Intense Auburn R3 (if I have the guts).

What about this product?

Absolutely amazing!  I never get disappointed by Mr. Garnier.  I bought this product by mistake at the drugstore.  I was decided to try the mousse instead of the permanent hair color.  It was sitting for one week in my room, waiting to be returned, then I thought... Why not?  The smell is not as intoxicating as others and it leaves your hair even softer then before the color deposit (it is usually the opposite). The only negative aspect is that I've already wash it twice and I'm still bleeding fruit punch!!!  The color is so rich and my hair looks so healthy, I just don't care about the damaged-towels problem.

Review: Sponsor Love

Remember this post? Some weeks ago I received some goodies from the Smashbox people.  I gotta say I was astonished by the amount and quality of the products!  Today I'm reviewing almost each one of them (my favorites).  
THANK YOU SMASHBOX!!!

 [ The smell of Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub is out of this world!  You just feel like you are really rubbing your body with real fruit. It is the perfect pampering before going to bed because it may be too greasy to go out as it leaves your skin way too moisturized. ]

 [ This Sue Devitt pencil can be used as an eye-liner or as eye-shadow.  I've been using it as eye-liner and it lasts the whole day.  The color is perfect for a casual day and a pair of jeans. ]

 [ This Sue Devitt eye shadow is so Jennifer Lopez-ish.  A shiny bronzed color for your eyes makes your face glow. Excellent choice for summer/sun-kissed skin. ]

[ I still haven't use these Smashbox eye-shadows, but I'm so happy with them because the colors are so neutral and they are very adequate to use from work to night out, Don't you think? ]

[ The Thymes Eucalyptus soap (top of the photo), is as fresh as the White Citrus Antibacterial Gel (right side).  They both have such a relaxing scent. ]

 [ My feet were dried-up before they met Lumene SOS Cream.  It really works within just days.  It is unscented and I'm sure it'll work in any part of your body that needs urgent hydration. ]

I haven't review some of the items and that's because
they're gonna be part of my next giveaway, so stay tuned!!!

Any of the reviewed products caught your attention? What are your plans for this weekend?

Inspiration: Graduation Day

 There are a lot of prom posts out there, but people forget about how important it is the graduation outfit.  May & June: graduation months.  Mine is in June 15 and I already have in mind what I would like to wear.  


Graduation outfit tips:

1. Wear a simple dress.  
Most of the graduations take place in daytime, so the dress doesn't have to be that fancy.  Remember it will be under the graduation gown almost the whole time.


2. Comfortable shoes.
You'll be standing for a long time.  Light wedges are a good choice.

3. It's summer, wear something bright!
Graduations are in summer time, so bright colors like blue, coral or yellow will look great and will add a pop of color to the traditional/boring cap and gown.


4. Crossed small bag.
Crossed bags are comfortable and secure.  
If you pick a small one, you can wear it under the gown.


5.  Accessories are the highlight.
Nothing else is gonna show as much as your accessories.  Pick your fave trend!

6. Lose hair.
The graduation cap will be your hair accessory, so leave it  lose and pack some hair clips in your bag in case you need them to make the cap stay in place.


6. Class of 2012 is officially graduated, 
enjoy the after party with your cute outfit!
