Holiday Makeup: The Golden Girl

BellaSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:00:31 -0800

When it comes to holiday makeup, all that glitters truly is gold. There are few shades more universally flattering, and the light-diffusing properties of metallics make skin look soft, warm, and undeniably inviting. There's no better time of year to deck yourself out in a little royal glitter, whether you want to glow in soft candlelight or correct the harshness of fluorescent office lighting. I've put together a complete gold color palette, from lip gloss to eye liner and mascara, to help you have a little fun with the original precious metal. Click through and stay golden, Pony Girl.

Coming Soon: Flirt! Cosmetics Glamourazzi

BellaSugar — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:00:31 -0800

Looking for a new fragrance to get you all geared up for the red carpet or a big night on the town? If so, the latest launch from Flirt! has your name all over it. Glamourazzi comes packaged in a gold sequined box that looks like a disco ball! Now of course, you aren't going to be sold on the packaging alone, but fortunately, what's inside is also something to get revved up about.

The bottle houses an electrifying blend of fruits and florals, which will definitely grab your attention. Think of biting into a pineapple so juicy that it runs down your chin. Mix it with flowers, vanilla, and ginger and you're there. This is a fragrance you'll want to wear to get noticed. It's perfect for a night out dancing, since your scent will linger as you move. It's very strong (so don't go overboard) and very sweet, but it's also sensual.

I know that I have to let The Fashionista Diaries go already, but remember the episode when Bridget and Andrew had to find the perfect gold dress for the ad, and Janjay and Tina helped with the photo shoot? Can you believe it's taken this long to turn around in real life? Glamourazzi is due in stores just before Valentine's Day in a 1.7 oz. bottle for $35.

Ora-Ïto's Gold USB Device Delivers Style

GeekSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 08:30:15 -0800

Having seen a handmade 14K gold USB set with diamonds before I was a tad skeptical when I came across Ora-Ïto's Gold USB device, $260, but I have to admit, this one's not bad. In fact, it's downright pretty. You can feel like a queen of style and geek while the golden device transfers and backs up your files with this 500-GB of storage. It's Windows and mac supported. I'll bet it would look gorgeous in a Modern Marie Antoinette-inspired abode.

Most Expensive Blinged Out Cell: GoldVish

GeekSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:00:13 -0700

I know "diamonds are a girl's best friend" and I know that "money can't buy you love," but neither of those revelations mean much until you consider how a diamond maniac might react to the world's most expensive (and diamond encrusted) phone.

I've seen a lot of gold gadgets, but the GoldVish may very well be the ultimate luxury phone. Released last year, it's an 18-karat gold phone set with diamonds and features "quad band technology." It comes in colors like Creamy Creame, Midnight Blue, LollyPop Pink and Snow White and ships with special Vivaldi ring tones as well as specially recorded MP3s and media content.

The phone was certified by the Guinness World Records in Cannes as the "world's most expensive cell phone." The devices are handmade in Switzerland and designed by Emmanuel Gueilt, who is known in the watch and jewelry industry. Prices for the phone range from $25,000 to about $160,000, with the most expensive piece costing near $1.2 million dollars.

Glitterati: Lana Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 15:20:22 -0700

It's all about the gold and the diamonds at Lana Jewelry, an attitude that has garnered fans like Cameron, Halle, Angelina, and Kate Hudson.

The company was built upon the foundation of close personal relationships: Russian-born designer Lana Fertelmeister has her father as a business partner and the "love of her life" as her muse; he inspired her first piece of jewelry. How sweet!

If you like circular motifs (full and in hoops) and touches of diamonds in jewelry, check Lana Jewelry out. It can be purchased via her online store, $330 and up.

Grammys Red Carpet Trend: All That Glitters is Gold

FabSugar — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:43:11 -0800

The ladies really shined last night on the Grammys red carpet adorning gold whenever and wherever possible. Some took the gold accent trend a little too far but others just nailed it. Jennifer Hudson is proving to be quite the red carpet diva this award season and showed that just a few gold touches here and there was the way to go. Natalie Maines on the other hand, you took the gold trend to a whole other level! Less is more sister, and Nelly, that holds true for you too. I loved Scarlett and Ciara's gold embellishments and Mary J. Blige's gold Micheal Kors gown was just stunning. I can't wait to see what trends hit the Oscar red carpet. Stay tuned!
