WHAT IS KIM READING THIS FALL?

Kim announced on her blog on December 23rd at 5:15am:

"reading a book always puts me to sleep! i am gonna start to read this book called Blink..anyone read it? is it any good?"

-Kim Kardashian

Blink is about the first two seconds of looking--the decisive glance that knows in an instant. Gladwell, the best-selling author of The Tipping Point, campaigns for snap judgments and mind reading with a gift for translating research into splendid storytelling.

Sounds interesting... Wonder what Kim will be doing with her new found power after reading this book... Let's find out!

What is Kim Wearing This Fall? Statement Rings!

Gorgeous Dior inspired floral enamel and Cubic Zirconia statement ring after the precious Milly-la-Foret design line.  This show stopper features a huge, clear Cubic Zirconia stone surrounded and overlaid with highly detailed enameled flowers, a dragonfly and a bee with tiny Cubic Zirconia accents. The face of the ring measures a whopping 1 x 1 and is raised approximately 1/2". 

This ring is the perfect accent to any event where you want all eyes on you!  Wear it as your only piece of jewelry with your outfit or with some bangles. (Also comes in Gold Plated hardware with Topaz color center stone!)

Before AND After: Kim's Makeup Secrets revealed!

Along with a host of personal makeup artists and hair dressers, Kim has a few secret weapons to keep her looking immaculate at all times.  From her hair to her nails, I've got the scoop for you here. Enjoy!

Those Lashes!

Kim and her makeup artists use both strips and individuals. It really depends on the look you're going for. Kim uses the brand Ardell for false lashes. MAC individual lashes are a favorite too!

The Eyes

Under the eyes, Kim uses concealer. If the area is very dark, she'll use a cream concealer first like Laura Mercier's secret camouflage and follow with a liquid concealer on top. If you're going super glam, you'll love the look of the the new liquid high definition concealer from SmashBox cosmetics.

Give Your Skin That Red-Carpet-Ready Glow
This is a simple trick Kim's makeup artists use that is super easy for non-celebs to use as well.  You're going to want to use a highlighter, like the one from Tom Ford Estee Lauder Collection.

It gives a sheer golden glow to the skin and you can use it anywhere on the face or body. You can apply some to the cheekbones, bridge of nose, inner corner of eyes and on the collarbones. 

Ready, SET, & Go

For the final touch, you can literally "set" your makeup in place with a spray that will keep your makeup looking fresh all day!  When sprayed onto the face after makeup has been applied, its sets the makeup to hold in place, that way you don't smear, smudge or get runny.  It truly is a miracle in a bottle.  Use this if you're going to be a big event for a long period of time, for example weddings, birthday parties, or even when going out on the town.  Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix from MAC is perfect. 

Luscious Hair & Nails
Kim is known for her long lustrous black hair and short black polished nails... so what is she using?
For her nails, Kim prefers Essie Nail Polish, Licorice for that edgy look.


Other than black, Kim sometimes wears an army green nail polish by Orly called Enchanted Forest from their Once Upon a Time collection.















For her Kim keeps it shiny with Bumble and Bumble Tonic shampoo to start.  To fight frizz she uses BB or John Frieda. Want your hair to look as shiny as Kim's, then you HAVE GOT TO USE BB SHINE SPRAY - best beauty secret I've uncovered yet!

Kim Kardashian is Dead: "I'm Dead...Bring Me Back To Life"

"I'm dead...bring me back to life" reads the headline on the last post Kim left before giving her life (her digital life that is) for the Keep A Child Alive campaign.  Kim, along with Keeping Up With The Kardashian's mastermind and producer Ryan Seacrest, among other celebs, gave their digital lives to raise money and awareness about AIDS. 

The plan behind the campaign was to scare fans into donating money to bring their favorite celebs back to life...digital life.  Each participating celebrity vowed to stop tweeting, Facebooking, blogging, etc., until a full casket of money ($1,000,000 to be exact) is raised for the AIDS foundation.  Great idea in theory, however, much to the chugrin of the campain planners, the stunt is not doing as well as they thought it would.  As of Wednesday, a mere $70,000 was raised by the celebrities involved.  Seems fans don't care enough to digitally revive their favorite celebs to donate.  One of the draw backs in the campaign, and quite possibly the reason they haven't raised enough money is due to the fact that the minimum donation is $10.00 US.  Makes it difficult to donate in this economy.  Everyone wants to help out, especially for such a worthy cause, but the minimum amount really dampens the deal. 

Here is a look at the ad featuring our very own Mrs. Kim herself.  Kinda spooky. 

KIM RECOMMENDS - Fusion Beauty for the "Gorgeous Glow"

Wondering how Kim's skin looks so radiant?  According to her tweets, she keeps her skin glowing with Fusion Beatuty.   Kim tweeted the following on 11/29 at 9:56am: "Can’t live without my illumifill - get your gorgeous glow"

Apparently, the Kardashian sisters' secret is in a tiny bottle of serum... get yourself gorgeous glowing skin with Fusion Beauty Illumifill Line Filling Luminizer. 

Fun Night Out in Long Island, NY

Kim stepped out for a night on the town in Long Island with pals Carla, Sheiva, Joyce and Jonathan.

The East Coast is proving a fashionable fit for this celebutante... black armor should be the name of her new coastal wardrobe.  And her skin has never looked better - something about the East Coast air makes Kim glow... but then again, when you're on top of the world, isn't glowing a natural state?
Try Bare Escentuals for that overall glow!
