Cover Style: Reese Witherspoon

Reese's Style 101:

*She knows what works for her. Her formula includes simple clothes with a bit of feminine flair, a pop of color, and an unexpected detail. Each item fits perfectly and never overwhelms.

*She plays with the trends. She tries new things but doesn't take crazy risks. A couple of fresh accessories add fun or sophistication.

*She puts comfort first. Flat shoes, loose silhouettes.. her outfits never feel forced. The lesson? If you feel good, you look good.

An A-line top over skinny jeans is so flattering. The metallic shoes add chic.

She's never matchy-matchy but cleverly coordinates color in her palette.

Big Bang Theory Lipstick Queen lip glosses

I am in love with these lip glosses! The colors look so gorgeous, and for only $20, they are quite the steal. Here's the excerpt from the site:

The idea of Big Bang Theory - Illusion Gloss came when Poppy King was reading an article about the re-creation of The Big Bang Theory. “As with everything I read, see, touch and experience, I thought about how I could relate this fascinating information to lips. I thought of my theory, that the right ratio of shimmer to shine can create the illusion of plumper lips.”

With a little help from her chemist, Poppy created the perfect “illusion gloss”, working over two months to get each shade precise. The perfect formula has been created.

The 8 shades include:
TIME – shimmery golden nude
EXPANSION- shimmery pale pink
SPACE - shimmery mauve grey pink (made by mixing pink and black)
INFINITE - shimmery pinky peach
BLACK HOLE - shimmery deep wine
CREATION - shimmery rose
COSMOS - shimmery ruby
ENERGY - shimmery bright red
