SG Diva Collection Lip Gloss

One of the Lip Gloss Chronicles fans did an ad for my SG Diva Collection. I thought she was real creative so I wanted to share.

For a limited time, the SG Diva Collection comes in over 24 high-shine glosses and is at an introductory price of $10.00. The regular retail price is $15.00.

The final collection will be 5 signature glosses so hurry up and order the variety while you can.

The sheer and transparent lip gloss is a great accessory!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Celebrated for her style and substance, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of first lady and become a 21st century icon, attracting attention from all over the world. The qualities so admired in her – intelligence, strength and charisma – radiate through her personal style, which has united accessibility with high-wattage glamour. The clothes, like the woman, feel both familiar and inspirational. Readily mixing high-end labels with more affordable brands, with a focus on craftsmanship and artistry, Mrs. O has elevated the notion of real value and ushered in a new era of “fashion democracy”.

Building on the success of Mrs-O.org – the Web site that chronicles Michelle Obama’s style – MRS. O: THE FACE OF FASHION DEMOCRACY takes a closer look at America’s modern style icon, featuring more than 120 photographs of the first lady and delving into the back story of her clothes and accessories. It also goes behind the scenes with interviews from her favorite designers, including Isabel Toledo, Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Maria Pinto and Isaac Mizrahi.

Opening with a brief overview of Michelle Obama’s early years, the book goes on to provide rarely seen photos from behind-the-scenes on the presidential primary trail through the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the monumental events of election night, the inauguration and early chapters of life in the White House. The final chapter hears the opinions of Mrs. O’s adoring fans – giving the last word to the people.

Original photographs of Michelle Obama’s most iconic looks, along with commentary from fashion experts, top off this tactile visual feast. Woven together with sketches and illustration inspired by the first lady, the book reveals the story of a new era of American fashion.

Yet Another 10 Things Meme

10 Things I’m Digging Right Now

1. My new hair color–I’m a blond. Seriously…but since my natural hair color is jet black, a shade of blond (can’t remember the shade) was used to get my hair to change to auburn. I’m in auburn bliss :)
2. My new Dooney. dandb.jpgI had my eye on it for a hot minute; besides I deserved it. There’s nothing wrong with spoiling yourself.  Whether I’m going casual or dressy, it goes with everything.
3. The new look in my bedroom. Burgandy and gold–love the combination of colors from the bed to the curtains.
4. My silver metalic pumps that goes well with any outfit I choose to wear–whether a dress or jeans.
5. Two words – “the end” because that means I’ve finished another manuscript.
6. My new pen name. After months of trying to figure out what my pen name should be, two friends brainstormed with me and the pen name sounds perfect.
7.  People who leave comments on my blog.  It lets me know I’m not just typing talking to myself. 
8. Being able to say “no” and not feel guilty about it.
9. “I Want To Work for Diddy” on VH1.  Yes, I’m digging the show. I said I wasn’t going to watch another reality show but hey, a woman is allowed to change her mind :)
10. Prince’s upcoming book “21 Nights.” It’s coming out just in time for my birthday (hint hint).

Thanks PrincessDominique for the meme idea.
