Last Minute Gift Idea: Justin Bieber's SOMEDAY Perfume.

Yes, you read that correctly. Justin Bieber. I never thought I would be writing about Justin Bieber. But I am, and I am highly recommending a last minute holiday gift idea for any teen or young woman in your life here, as my daughter and her friends are in love with the new Justin Bieber fragrance SOMEDAY. It seems to be on everyone's wish list.

Yes, Justin Bieber is a huge star. He has a #1 album in 17 countries. He is the undisputed king of social media, with truly electrifying stats: over 1 billion views on YouTube… over 27 million Facebook fans… and over 15 million followers on Twitter. Now he has turned his attention to fragrance. Justin's inspired approach to his first scent showcases his desire to connect with his fans, and to incorporate his life experiences into his work. He is the first male artist to develop a fragrance for his female fans first, deepening the relationship he has with them. Teens swoon for him everywhere and now they are longing for SOMEDAY.

SOMEDAY is the idea that we can change the world, make our dreams come true, and even be with the one person that means everything.” said Justin Bieber. “Giving back has always been incredibly important to me, but let’s be honest… I wanted to create a fragrance for my female fans that I can’t get enough of… that I want to get next to and I can’t stay away from.  I know they’ll love the scent, but also the opportunity to support some amazing charities. It's a gift that gives back.

 My love for this whole perfume endeavor comes from the fact that all of the profits from the fragrance will be donated to charity; Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. He did this by partnering with Give Back Brands. Nice going JB!

The Fragrance
Justin wanted SOMEDAY to be more than just a fragrance: it is pure energy, a state-of-mind that inspires and is the reason we never say never.  It is full of the passion and confidence that drove Justin to the top of the charts.  SOMEDAY is playful, fresh yet flirty and anything but ordinary… a fragrance Justin personally finds irresistible.

Top Notes: Mandarin, William Pear and Wild Berries
Mid Notes: Jasmine, Water Lily, Creamy Florals and Coconut Orchid

Fans will have the chance to take home a piece of Justin’s heart with SOMEDAY and its iconic design. The bottle incorporates the colorful energy for which Justin has become known in an unforgettable, sculptural form. Layers of hearts create the cap, bursting from the glass bottle and exploding into your world. Playful, thought-provoking, fresh yet flirty, and anything but ordinary, the bottle is affixed with a removable crystal heart lock and key from Justin, so fans can carry his heart around with them wherever they go.

Mally Roncal Shares How to Get Beyoncé's Glow.

If you didn’t see 20/20 last Friday with superstar Beyoncé, she did a great interview with Katie Couric. Honestly, she looked more beautiful than ever.  Could it be the pregnancy glow or maybe just her makeup courtesy of famed makeup artist Mally Roncal of Mally Beauty? I want to glow like that.

Lucky for us, Mally shares her inside tricks on how to steal this look:

Mally says:

  • Start by using my concealer to brighten under the eyes or any other place that needs help.
  • Next, use my subtle highlighter and contour powder to really bring out your inner beauty! The highlighter lifts the face and even illuminates the eye area. The contour powder instantly makes you look like you lost five pounds.
  •  For eyes, I opted for my creamy, shimmery eye shadow, bulletproof Eyeliner and my secret: Volumizing Mascara.
  • To create glossy, Beyoncé worthy lips, I used my High Shine Liquid Lipstick.

Mally says that this look is great for any age or skin tone, and I could not agree more.

With Mally's products and tips, it is easy to get this whole gorgrous glowing look, especially since all of the products used are in Mally's new My Favorite Things Collection, exclusively available on QVC starting today.

For $72.50, you get the following:

  • Evercolor Shadow Stick in Twilight (taupe)
  • Evercolor Shadow Stick in Purple Rain (purple)
  • Evercolor Shadow Stick in Firework (rose)
  • Evercolor Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner in Onyx (black)
  • Evercolor Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner in Tiger's Eye (brown)
  • Evercolor Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner in Fierce Forest (green)
  • Three 0.39 fl oz Volumizing Mascaras in Black
  • High Shine Liquid Lipstick in Fuzzy Navel (peach-pink)
  • High Shine Liquid Lipstick in Orchid (berry-pink)
  • High Shine Liquid Lipstick in Mally's Baby (pink)

Celebrity Looks from the 2011 Emmy Awards.

Did you watch last nights Emmy Awards? I was thrilled to see some color on the Red Carpet. Beside the color, I was really into the nude trend too. So glad that most women stayed away from basic black. It gets so boring after a while.

I was impressed with the makeup and hair I saw too.  Loved the retro glam looks, finger waves and side-swept hair. I noticed a lot of it.

Out of all the looks, I have narrowed down eight makeup looks that I thought were the best. Click on the links below to see how to recreate each celebrity look:
