Berry lips for everyone!

 I just adore this make-up look on the model Frida Gustavsson, for H&M 2012 Summer collection. 

I love a berry colored lip paired with a natural eye. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a thin line of black eyeliner. 

It's a perfect look if you want something simple for a night out, but also can be worn during the day. 

The only thing that I would add is a nice pop of color in the way of a pink blush.  

Especially since this is for a Summer campaign, having a burst of color is almost mandatory! 

Other then that, this is a look that I def. will be wearing a lot!

My two favorite Christmas gifts

Ack I'm crap at blogging! But here I am back on the saddle again. I just wanted to post two of my favorite Christmas gifts that I received. Yes I am aware that it's been almost a month since Christmas passed but I digress..and I'm human!

 The earrings are from my boss, it is really odd calling her my boss, but she is. From the whole 2 of you that read my blog, I am a live in nanny. The reason why she gave me diamond earrings..(YES REAL DIAMOND EARRINGS) is one day we were having a conversation and I said that it's sad that I'm 30, and I don't own anything with a diamond. I wasn't hinting at anything.. it was just more of a passing thought.

Well come a few days before Christmas, and she gives me my gifts (well we exchanged) and I knew the second I saw the box, that they were Diamond earrings. I sucked in those tears so fast..:hello my name is Erika, and I hate crying in front of people: and gave her a hug. I can rightfully say now, that I am the owner of a pair of gorgeous diamond earrings! Huzzah!

The headband is from my best friend Renee, who got it in a shop in Japan. I think I know which one;)
I love that it's simple, but makes a statement. I love headbands, but sometimes I get a headache from them. With this one, I can't even feel it half the time.

I wish I could take a better picture of it, but the days haven't been too sunny here in NY. I have to work with angles before I get a decent picture. I did get a good amount of gifts this year, but I have to say these were my favorites;)
