Carolina Herrera to sell 'Twilight' wedding dress

11/22/2011 | 08:14 AM 

LOS ANGELES - "Twilight" fans can have their very own fairytale wedding experience next year when Carolina Herrera's CHNY boutiques begin selling gowns in the same design as worn by Bella Swan in "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the apparel maker's spokesman said on Monday.

The white sheath wedding dress with a lace-embellished back was custom-made for actress Kristen Stewart by New York fashion designer Herrera, who said she was was "flattered" when asked to create the gown and felt the pressured to deliver something that would please "Twilight" fans.

"I wanted to create a magical moment that they had at the wedding," Herrera told Reuters at the movie's red carpet premiere last week.

"She's an innocent girl that is finding her first true love, so there is romance, there is magic, there is everything together," Herrera said.

Ahead of the film's debut, the details of Bella's dress seemed as closely guarded as Alexander McQueen's gown for this year's British royal wedding. But fans of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" were finally able to see it for themselves when the film stormed worldwide box offices over the weekend, taking in $238.5 million.

No further details have been released from Carolina Herrera regarding how many dresses will be produced or their retail price, but for "Twilight" fans eager to wear the dress down the aisle before next year, bridal dress company Alfred Angelo are already selling replicas from $799 in select stores worldwide. - Reuters

Fifi 100mm

I saw this on Kris Aquino yesterday. She said ViceGanda and Liz Uy gave it to her. She said it was an early Christmas gift. Yes, been watching KrisTV almost everyday since I had to go on bed rest. 

It's sold on Christian Louboutin's site for $3,395... woah??!! Color is called Aurora Boreale and the glitter is from the crystals covering the whole shoe.

Sigh! Adorably expensive!

More from Sephora! Violent Lips Temporary Tattoos

Just in time for Halloween for those who love to dress up in sexy costumes!

Glitter tattoo on your lips and out of your mouth. It has a smooth and glossy finish and vitamin-enhanced appliqués last from four to eight hours. Enough to last a night of partying and dancing.

Application is easy, sort of like how temporary tattoos for kids are applied. Easy to take out too, just wipe off with mineral or baby oil and a textured wipe. There's other colors too.

Although I wonder how you can eat with this on your lips...

Nails Inc. Magnetic Nail Polish

I saw this in Sephora's website and it got me curious... magnetic nail polish??? The nail polish itself is infused with particles that move to create a nail art effect using the magnet on the cap! I think it's awesome!

How does it work?

-Remove any oil from your nails by cleaning your nails with nail polish remover. 

-Take off the over-cap that contains the magnet and set aside. 

-There is an inner cap that you can use to apply the magnetic polish. 

-Apply one coat of your selected Nails Inc. base coat. 

-Then, apply one coat of your chosen magnetic polish on all 10 nails and let dry for a few minutes. 

-To create the "magnetic effect," apply a generous coat of magnetic polish to one nail, and immediately hold the cap that contains the magnet over the nail. (Do this quickly while the polish is still wet. There is a small lip on the cap which should be placed just below your cuticle allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly over your nail.) Hold very close to the nail for 10-15 seconds, taking care not to touch the nail with the magnet. 

-Repeat on all 10 nails and apply a top coat to seal the design.

If you still can't picture how it works, here's an instructional video



I'm so into these kinds of innovations! Gosh, I wanna try this... it's just $16. Not bad!
