Behind The Brand
Armour Beauty is the brainchild of rocker/model, makeup artist and mom Theo Kogan. As the singer for bands, most notably the all- female band Lunachicks, Theo is known for her over-the -top makeup styles. She has modeled for Calvin Klein, Burberry and Kenneth Cole, to name a few and has acted in film, television and in avant-garde theater and is currently also a pro makeup artist for musicians, editorial, runway and cool brides. A lip gloss that would stay on during a high-energy performance was something Theo craved and so she created what she considers the missing piece in the beauty industry: Naturally based, long wearing, Rock ‘N’ Roll lip gloss, formulated to stay on and moisturize with a base of: Shea Butter, Avocado, Mango and Olive butters and oils, Grape seed oil and Vitamin E on stage or off. -

My Crazy DIY: Carrera Marble Storage Box
As you know, I recently moved to a new apartment and downsized a whole lot! Moving into a studio loft forces you to keep only the essentials, be smart with your space and create inventive storage solutions! After searching for giant boxes for storage at Ikea, Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond, TJ Maxx and Crate and Barrel – It was almost impossible to find something large enough that had a lid but also looks cool. So this is the birth of my Crazy DIY. Here is what you need to do this.
1. Get boxes you need, size shape and lid or not. I found these at Staples.com and they were under $30 for 4
2. Get Contact Paper! I got mine on Amazon but they have it at Wal-Mart, Home Depot as well. They have TONS of options but I chose this one because it is subtle and forgiving if I made a mistake. If you do strips or polka dots, make sure you measure twice and cut once.
Contact Paper is so cool. It is easy to use and the backing has a cut guide and tips. It is just mildly sticky so if you make a mistake, you can always unstick it. Also if you are working too fast and it sticks to itself, you can easily peel it apart. Also, you can smooth out the bubbles if you put your hand inside your sleeve and push it out gently. The instructions said you can stick a pin it in as well.
I am going to put all the items in the 2 shoe boxes and the plastic bin below in my new box.
Does it kind of look like a giant tissue box? Sort of right? I love them. Here is my Carrera Marble DIY Storage Boxes!
Let me know what you think of them!

Dance Dance for a Spring Beauty Look with @Aveda and @lolavlashes
I recreated the Aveda Culture Clash 2014 Make Up look from their make up tutorial video 🙂 I used the Aveda petal essence™ single eye color in SEAFOAM and AQUARMARINE. I didn’t love the packaging (looks like a sample to me in plastic clamshell) but I did love the pigmentation, staying power and how silky smooth it glided on my eye. It is flower and wax infused so perfect for spring.
To set off this flirty look, do a double braid on top of you head and use light weight lashes from Lola V lashes in Vanity.
Founded in 2013, Lola V Lashes has introduced women to 21 various high quality, yet affordable, styles of mink eyelashes. Created by Valerie De La Rosa, Lola V Lashes are in high demand in North America and is looking to expand to Asia and South America.
Lola V Lashes’ main goal is to beauty and self-confidence on both the inside and outside to the wearer. The 21 variations of lashes include both top and bottom lashes that will last from 2-3 weeks, with different designs to compliment every eye shape.Lola V Lashes will expand to makeup cases and travel kits in the summer.
