Fuchsia Sparkle Lips for MTV Host

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis


On MTV #HIPHOPPOV TV show I gave one of the host, Sowmya a sultry look. Sparkle Lips was the main focus for this glam look. Instead of playing up her eyes, I wanted to give Sowmya a bright bold color lip with my new signature ” Sparkle Lip” applique. It’s trendy and I know she could rock it. So let the bling begin.

Wedding Day Blues: Something Borrow Something Blue

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis2 Comments on Wedding Day Blues: Something Borrow Something Blue

As young girls, we grew up hearing “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue.” Well, that something blue will be one of the new trends in 2012 for brides. Bright and bold Cobalt blue will be seen more at weddings in the flowers, bridesmaids’ dresses, brides’ Christian Louboutin shoes and especially stunningly resplendant eye shadows.


At a recent bridal photo shoot, I decided to play with a L’OREAL HIP DUO blue eye shadow named Forgiven that can be used in a more smoky way. Remember when wearing a strong eye, you should keep the lip color very light and I went with NYX Cosmetics Diamond Sparkle lipstick in Beige Sparkle. There are many brands offering various shades of brilliant blue eyeshadows to achieve a smoky blue eye on your wedding day. Here’s a cheat sheet to some of my favorite shades of blues that you can select from.
L’OREAL Paris HIP Eyeshadow in Forgiven
So brides, don’t stress because your something blue doesn’t have to be a family heirloom, a gift from your mom, or a hidden garter anymore. It can be glamxuriously worn down the aisle. What was your something blue on your wedding day?

GUAM Beauty Mud & NFP Studio Pop Up Shop

by Brandy Gomez-Duplessis2 Comments on GUAM Beauty Mud & NFP Studio Pop Up Shop
GUAM Beauty Mud Pop Up Shop at RS Hotel made it’s debut on a beautiful Wednesday night in New York. It is an all-natural product utilizing seaweed and algae that results in skin firming, tightening, and visible reduction of cellulite after just one treatment. The sponsors of the evening were Popchips, Wines by Wives, and Dressbarn. Europe’s best selling anti-cellulite beauty product was all I needed to here to get me to attend. Any goody to keep my body looking youthful and toned, I have to have it. 


Next stop was to NFP Studio Pop Up Shop, Showcasing her Spring 2012 Collection. Designer Gail Travis is brilliant designer, she design modern classic pieces that can be worn in so many geometric ways; by layering, folding, and snapping. I have to get a few of her pieces so perfect for me as I am in between sizes and I luv wrapping myself in great fabrics. My partner in crime Tiffany Hall Scarmana joined me so we made the most of it that evening with grabbing dinner at Lexington Brass inside the Hyatt 48 Lex Hotel.
