With summer parties in full swing, Modelinia.com (www.modelinia.com) is here to give you tips on the hottest makeup trends. Grey and silver eye makeup work on all skin tones and can be seen on the runways of Marc Jacobs and Matthew Williamson and on celebrities like Kristen Stewart, Hilary Duff and Alicia Keys.
Johnny Lavoy, Maybelline’s resident makeup experts and the host of Modelinia.com’s series Get the Look, gives step by step instructions on how to get this classic look in the below video.
1. Sweep a light silver color across the eyelid. Go right up to the crease on the lid and stop where the crease starts and apply from the inside corner to where the lash line ends. Don’t forget to blend in because you never want to see when one color stops and the other color starts.
2. Create Depth- Move on to the crease color which should be a smokier charcoal grey. Start at the outer corner of the eye and work your way to the center.
3. Make them pop- Choose a lighter color- almost white- to highlight the brow. Brush the color under the brow bed and inner eye.
4. Line your eyes with a dark grey liner along the lash line and smudge it in so that it blends with the rest of the eye color.
5. Finish off with a black mascara and shiny lip.

I received a sample of this several weeks ago and was so excited to try it but we have had a lot of late spring rain. Finally this week the sun came out and I was able to take the UVSunSense wristband out for a trial test. With two young kids I am big on sunscreen care but I admit we get caught up in activities and I am not sure when to reapply.
UVSunSense takes the guess work out of reapplying, I simply apply sunscreen to my exposed skin and the band. The band turned purple once it had been activated by the sun, after about two hours the purple had faded and I reapplied sunscreen. We were out of the sun shortly after but if you stay in the sun the words “Apply Sunscreen to This Side” will disappear and you know it is time to cover up or seek shelter from the sun. A great easy way to protect yourself and your family from those accidental sunburns and damage on long days at the beach or lake.
Introducing the UVSunSense™ wristband. A convenient, reliable means to monitor exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays for you and your children.
The UVSunSense™ wristband is engineered to be used in conjunction with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher to alert you to potential excessive exposure as you work or play in the sun.
According to the American Cancer Society, a sunburn will fade, but damage to deeper layers of skin remains and can eventually cause cancer. That’s why sun-safe habits should begin in childhood and last a lifetime.
UVSunSense™ wristbands provide you with a simple sun-sensitive gauge through color change that alerts you when you need to reapply sunscreen and when to get out of the sun and its potential damaging effects.
Add the UVSunSense™ wristband to your suncare product offerings to help your customers enjoy a healthier future in the sun!

In the fashion department, she can’t get enough of jeans and sundresses.

Last year Jessica Simpson added the fragrance “Fancy” to her entrepreneurial endeavors — and now the pop princess is unveiling “Fancy Love” and it seems the new scent was inspired by her ever-evolving relationship with NFL star Tony Romo …
Simpson collaborated on the “timeless, romantic fragrance of falling in love” with a team of professional perfumers and wanted a sensual floral that exudes her own flirtatious charm.
“It is a fresh, new expression of Jessica’s lifestyle,” Vince Camuto, CEO of the Camuto Group (which develops and design the Jessica Simpson collection) said. “She is loved and in love.”
And according to an inside source, Miss Simpson has never been more comfortable with her abilities and body than she is now.
“Tony brings out the best in Jessica,” said our source. “She is over caring about what everyone thinks.”
The 28-year-old has even taken to Twitter this week to encourage her fans to embrace their gifts from God.
“To all of my true fans that love me for me … thank you … we are all beautiful. Don’t you dare let anyone tell you different. please!!!!” Simpson tweeted. “Someone once told me that mirrors are a losing game cause they only show you backwards anyway. Days are long and words are cruel, but they won’t get the BEST of you …”
