Hello LaPazions, we’re here with another Fabulous product review. I have to tell you that when I decided to review this product I was a little skeptical-Why? How many times have we all received an invitation to try a product that supposedly has great benefits and wonderful changes for our skin? Well, I went on and ordered the product from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/BOOHJD8NLY it was a full-size bottle and the smell was wonderful! It smelled as if they had taken fresh oranges and squeezed them directly into the bottle. I loved the name “Valentia” because she was a Roman Goddess of healing and this product was stating it was going to do the exact same thing for our skin:InmUfFNGTbeUvB2AokJO_dropper_faceValentia then developed exceptional ingredients to produce this product. The foundation is 20% Vitamin C, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Green Tea and Botanical Hyaluronic Acid which are some of the most potent antioxidants which; in turn works in conjunction with your body’s natural processes that helps in giving your skin a beautiful glow and a younger appearance:slider-woman-02I loved the texture of the product, it was very rich, not sticky or greasy. I also loved that the product wasn’t heavy on my skin and just felt wonderful once applied.  I thought after using the product for a little over a week and a half I wouldn’t notice a change in my skin but, remarkably the dry patch between my eyebrows really had a major change and where my skin can be a little flakey in this area, I noticed I don’t have that issue any longer. My skin is also super sensitive so, I was also concerned how it would react to this highly potent Antioxidant treatment; which believe it or not I had no irruptions, no redness or any other issues. I’d give this product 8 out of 10 stars!20140812_111256

We cannot wait to hear your feedback once you have the opportunity to try this amazing product!!

Hey LaPazions, I know many of you watched the BET Awards Sunday night and I mean all and all the show was okay and for me the best part of the show was when Chris Brown took the stage to perform “These Girls Aint Loyal!” I mean he is just such a great performer and never misses a beat. Now on to the more important things the red carpet!! Yazzzz! honey the stars where out and I mean in all aspects of the word out. I mean it was such a skin feast for most of the ladies walking the red carpet and the theme was all white because, it was hot as HELL in LA. First up we have the Ashanti and I don’t know who told her to change her hair blonde and to wear this gown but, for me it was a total miss:Ashanti

I mean Ashanti to me just tries to hard to be sexy and each and every-time she misses the mark. I mean you could see that she hasn’t been working out her boobs are sagging, this really isn’t a good look for this young lady. Wait hold the presses!! Did you all know that singer Omarion was in a relationship and that he’s going to be a father? Well, LaPazions neither did anyone else it was a major shocker when he and his babies mother hit the red carpet:OmarionCongratulations? I’m sorry but, this gown didn’t do her justice to celebrate their good-news and to show off her baby bump. I know you all are going to think I’m throwing shade but, I’m not. Don’t I sound much like Nicki Minaj with that one? That sorry supposed fake statement she dropped on all of us during her acceptance speech. Moving on let me not fall into the gossip trap. I loved how elegant and pulled together Amber Rose looked, this young lady knows what looks good on her body-type and she just serves up all kinds of sexy effortlessly:Amber RoseLet’s just keep this on the Real- You like how I said that bringing full-circle “The Real” talk show host Adrienne Bailon? I thought her looks was okay the dress was hugging all of her new found curves but, I’m sorry the hair and makeup was much to be desired. It made her face look to full and didn’t compliment her look at all:Adrienne-BailonI love that Nicole and Eddie Murphy’s girls were out on the red carpet just looking too stunning for words. They truly have inherited their mothers stunning looks and have embraced her style choices and models:bria-murphy-shayne-murphy OMG! Ms. Eva Marcille winner of Americas Next Top model was out on the red carpet, looking GORGEGOUS!! Eva, is a new mom of a 4month old and she looks like she never gave birth nor was she ever pregnant. I think she is beautiful but, I wasn’t a fan of the gown that she selected to wear because, it just didn’t give her body the right symmetry: eva marcilleIt was also great to see Faith Evans, she looks good and has dropped several lbs. and I loved her outfit because, it was young and fresh but, also still gave sexy in a mature way:Faith Evans

Wow, big shocker for me is Charlie Baltimore and how she has 360’d her look. I loved the blonde hair, her face was beat she has come into her own and is doing it. Plus she was up for 2 awards and I mean this look is working! (side note: Needless to say EVERYONE at Lapazimageing Fashion Forward, begged to differ with my personal opinion. I heard someone say well he is blending from head to toe, her hair and makeup do nothing for her and she is looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost cousin) oh they are just so cold:charli-baltimore-Some body please pump the breaks on Keke Palmer! I know she is no longer a little girl but, honey she was showing skin and more skin in this little cut out peek-a-boo number. I mean seriously we know she’s coming into her own and has a brand new show that is going to be airing on BET at 5pm EST (check your local listings) but, I didn’t care for her look from head to toe and I’m only giving her 2 stars on this look:keke-palmerI’m just like Chris Rock what in the world was Paris Hilton doing at the BET awards? I mean seriously when did she become so down with hip-hop and R&B? I saw her laughing and talking with Snoop Dog aka Snoop Lion (really). I mean I though her and Ashanti had just swapped gowns:Paris HiltonKarrueche Tran brought her A-game and looked fabulous. I loved the details on the dress and how the colored looked against her skin. I said Chris has a real friend, lover, girlfriend and someone who is loyal by his side with this young lady and I wish them both nothing but, happiness and continued success in their relationship:Karrueche Tran

I’m about to just break into my my top 4 worst looks for the night and 2 I’m very surprised made this list for me. Why? Well normally Nick Cannon and Zandaya (Disney fame Shake it Up) are on point fashion wise but, tonight they both were just reaching too hard: Now with Gabrelle Union and Laura Govan (LA Basketball Wives) didn’t surprise me cause I don’t feel either of these ladies get the fashion format correct that often. I mean seriously Gabrielle had on leather knee high boots in a billion degree weather and looking just foolish. Laura just looked a hot mess from start to finish and I know that she is another one who is very proud of the weight loss and that is coming into her own but, she missed every mark with this look:

Wow so Kerry Washington was here tonight and I loved her dress but, I thought it was very basic and she looked great the new mom and actress of the top TV show Scandal: Kerry Washington

2014 Tony Awards Red Carpet Review

Article by: Erin Cortez-Style Reporter/Certified Image Consultant

LaPazions, I don’t know if any of you watched the 2014 Tony Awards but, if not we have your front row seat to the red carpet. I have to tell you we loved that Hollywood showed up in a big way and even music talent looked their best. I have to tell you the shocker for me when I saw her, had to be Fantasia Barrino. Fantasia has had a real makeover and I don’t mean just wardrobe; I’m talking about mind, body and soul. She looked fabulous in her teal plunging subtle shimmering gown. She has brand new assets do you know what I mean? Fantasia also performed with Gladys Knight, Patti LeBelle and the amazing cast of After midnight:496808099LL013_2014_Tony_AwFantasia Barrino and Patti LaBelleFanny is looking so good and she sounded fabulous and gave a great performance. I have to attach it so you all can see the ladies in action and why I said this was the best performance of the night:

Hold the phone I had to take a second look when Alan Cummings came out on the stage. You may or may not know his name but, if you’re a fan of the Good Wife (which I am TOTALLY!) Eli is the character that Alan plays on the weekly television series, and you know how stylish and well put together he is. Take a deep breath and get ready to see this LOUD over the top making major statements suit:493263885JN00111_2014_Tony_Yup, that is Eli and I couldn’t believe it- I thought what did he want us to know he had an EKG? I guess he was making his statement of statements.

Another top pick on the red carpet has to go to Tina Fey. I mean she had been coming into her own and doing it very well. I love the gown with the details and how it hugged her curves and gave her more of a feminine silhouette. Her hair and makeup complimented her look and just made her look so polished:496808049KR00029_2014_Tony_Jennifer Hudson looked great in her silver sequin dress and the hair and makeup is perfection. Jennifer within the last few events has really embodied her look and has allowed her stylist to put her into things that flatter her particular body-type:496808049KR00028_2014_Tony_The only complaint I have with Jennifer’s look is that it looks rather dated not as youthful as I would like her to look. I thought the dress didn’t puddle correctly at the bottom but, all and all she get’s and A from me from previous looks.

This next actress doesn’t seem to get the attention nor credit that she really deserves. I have to say I love Anika Noni Rose. Her style is very classic and womanly and she just owns her look with great confidence. I loved this gown she selected because, we saw it on the runway and the alterations that her stylist and the Designers’ have made just fit her beautifully in my opinion but, in the opinion of our Editor-in-Chief; Sonya LaRae she didn’t feel the gown complimented her petite figure and it was just to much fabric the hair and makeup didn’t compliment her slender face:496808099LL194_2014_Tony_AwWhich brings me to Idina Menzel, I just didn’t care for her gown and neither did anyone in our team as we were pulling photos for this article. I guess we just love her voice but, as far as it goes with her red carpet looks she needs to move past a particular Designer that she has worn each time she’s appeared:496808099LL105_2014_Tony_AwThen we had two iconic actresses that hit the red carpet and I have to say Fran Drescher looks really good. I mean in all honesty she looks just as fabulous as she did when we were introduced to her on the Nanny. I mean the gown she selected was so Fran that it just looked so appropriate for this iconic Doll:496808099LL094_2014_Tony_AwThe other actress is Judith Light and I felt she looked great body wise but, the gown hair and makeup could have been better. I think she looked a little washed out:496808099LL232_2014_Tony_Aw

Here are a few others that we felt looked fabulous Lucy Liu, Ana Gunn and Emma Rossum. Theses ladies truly looked stunning and we loved their look from head to toe:

Red Carpet Review CFDA 2014 Awards

Hello Fabulous LaPazions, many of you may have been waiting for our coverage from this years 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards and let me just say the stars came out in a big way! I couldn’t help but to start our review off with the ever so eye-catching, bold and always a style rebel herself Rihanna. I guess we shouldn’t have been shocked at what she wore (and that is just the thing) she came to the event rocking old Hollywood glam with a definite twist to the modern day badass rocker chic. I don’t even know why she even bothered to put this ever so sheer sparkling gown on. I guess Rihanna said “well in New York I can go topless so, let me do it in a big way.”

I think Rihanna is always ready to shock and awe all of us when she arrives at any red carpet but, this one really blew us away. I love that she isn’t afraid to take major style risk but, I think something’s can be over the top.

Lupita Nyong’o went with the feel and style of modern tribal and looked fabulous in Designer Suno’s pants suit. It had the great modern feel of the midriff top and the Capri styled pants plus the hair and makeup was right on the mark:slide_352012_3807244_freeAnother of our favorites was Blake Lively who wore a Michael Kors dress. It was simple but very chic and I loved her hair and makeup. One thing I can say about Blake is that she really knows her body type and what will compliment her:Blake LivelyThe other thing that I really enjoyed was there was such a mix of fashions from summer cocktail wear to formal gowns it really just complimented the event so well. I loved seeing Anna Wintour wearing something a little bit more fashion forward and not looking so dated:Anna WintourChrissy Teigen who was just at the Kim and Kanye wedding, plus off the heals of the Met Gala party it was and took a great shot together:486560679JN00039_2014_CFDA_Jennifer Hudson’s stylist have gotten it right again. We love this gown on her and it compliments her body-type and we love the hair cut its very youthful:Jennifer HudsonOMG! I have to tell you I’m thrilled to see the legendary Ms. Cicely Tyson out at this amazing event and she looks just Fabulous!!:Cicely TysobWe loved Coco Rocha Christian Siriano gown she looked fabulous and just can carry this look. We see why she is so legendary as a model and why Black Market/White House uses her as their spokes model:486560467TL00010_2014_CFDA_Solange Knowles looked stunning and was in a great mood. We loved that there was no issues or flipping out by this beautiful young lady. We love her style and think she is stunning from head to toe:Solange KnowlesNow I don’t know but, Busy Philips just didn’t do herself justice with this gown. I didn’t care for the gown nor her look it slightly dated her and that is something that no woman wants to do:Busy PhilipsThis next pair just took the cake why? well Naomi Campbell was at her best but, she attended the event with fellow model Tyson Beckford who just looked ridiculous in his too tight tux, no sock wearing and short pants:Tyson Beckford and Naomi Campbell

We know that you all have and opinion on the stars and we cannot wait to hear your thoughts. We have all of our photos on our Exclusive Facebook page located at: http://www.facebook.com/lapazimageing

2014 Met Gala Red Carpet Review

Metropolitain

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Leah Leslie

Article by: Sonya LaRae-Certified Image Consultant/Lifestyle Coach

Photographs by: Alex Brandenkowski-Lapazimageing Fashion Forward

LaPazions, last night the stars were out shining brighter than ever on the red carpet of the Met Gala! Its one of the biggest fashion nights and the tickets ran $25,000 per person. Anyway, I have to tell you I wasn’t that taken with many last night but, I do have a true favorite that just stole the night to me! I’m starting off with the high note for us, which is Rihanna rocking this fabulous white cropped topped gown:RihannaYes honey Rihanna just brought her fierce self out in a major way and I mean she just get’s it right when she strides the red carpet. I thought Victoria Beckham looked great in her white gown, designed by herself. I loved her hair and makeup, and please her and David just know how to do a red carpet:Victoria and David BeckhamVictoria BeckhamNext who I thought just got it right was Chrissy Teigen. I mean marriage just suits her so well, she was just glowing on the red carpet. I loved the color of her gown on her and hair and makeup was right on point!Chrissy TeigenI cannot begin to tell you how gorgeous Charlize Theron looked. I loved how she draped the menswear jacket over her shoulders that brought a great touch. She always serves such great body and on the carpet and just knows how to work a good looking gown. This is one woman that celebrates her curves the right way and the lines of this gown just highlighted them perfectly:Charlize TheronI didn’t think this was a top pick but, I did like the look and I thought it went well with the persona that the reinvented Mrs. Carter has presented in this new CD. I loved the sheer and beading of the gown and the little fascinator was the right touchBeyonce Knowles CarterPause this next one took be by such surprise and I mean she looks just beautiful. I couldn’t get over how Kendall Jenner just knocked this out the box. We personally felt that maybe Kim should have taken tips from her little sister this evening:Kendall JennerNow this takes us right into our worse dressed, and I know that some of you may think that we’re being mean and just hating but; I’m sorry this gown that Kim Kardashian decided to wear just did nothing for her particular body type. I feel like since Kim starting dating Mr. West she had dumbed her style down just too much. I have always loved the style that Kim K brought to events and now she just seems broken:Kanya West and Kim KI mean seriously what is right with this look on either of them? I mean is he so miserable he looks almost sick standing on the side of the supposed woman that he is so deeply in love with and about to marry. Seriously these two need to get clue and wake up and smell reality and I don’t mean “Reality TV” either.

Next is Katie Holmes, OMG!! What did she leave her sense of style back with Tom Cruz? Seriously this yellow gown looks like something she and her daughter would play fairy princess with and the hair and makeup. Lord this woman is a hot mess and her reps just let her walk out looking like this:Katie Holmes Marchesa Before you all throw your shoes at me I will say sometimes even the best of the best, just can make a fashion misstep. I mean Lupita in this flapper-girl throw back and headband the shoes lord. When the good ones get it wrong they go BIG!:Lupita Nyong'o Prada Okay just pull the plug and someone get me a direct line to this woman’s team ASAP!! Seriously, what was her stylist, Publicist thinking when they allowed Lena Dunham to wear this particular gown. I mean between that bowl cut, the bad posture she just looks cut off and there is nothing wrong with a little fake and bake: Lena DunhamNext up is the woman herself Ms. Anna Wintour. I know I’m crossing into deadly territory with this but, she’s honest and says all the time she values honesty well, here I go. I’m sorry Ms. Wintour yes you wore Chanel but, this looked like you pulled the old quilt off your bed and had them just make you a gown and, it’s time to lose that hair style. You’re one dated woman and I love that you want to stay true to your origin but, just as you say sometimes it is time to bring things forward:Anna Wintour -Chanel Fashion Police need to give there own a ticket because, I’m sorry Giuliana Rancic just looked Rancid/sickly and gaunt. I’m starting to get worried over Giuliana, because she is insanely thin. I didn’t like her look period:Giuliana Rancic These two young ladies have enough money to have things custom made and perfectly tailored for their very slight bodies. That would none other be the Olsen twins, Mary Kate and Ashley. I mean seriously ladies get it together, bad enough you all look like little girls trying to be grown up but, if you’d just invest a little time into your looks I know you could kill it. Your little sister even get’s it so please take a clue:Mary-Kate and Ashley OlsenElizabeth Olsen

Another Met Gala has come and gone and again we find ourselves just feeling style starved. I mean don’t get us wrong there were several that knocked the style meter on it’s butt but, there we’re more misses. I also want to make mention of Rita Ora, Blake Lively, Ivanka Trump, Janelle Monae and Karolina Kurkova these ladies looked fabulous and I feel you must see them to appreciate their style choices:

We have so much coverage from this years Met Gala that if you’d like to see more, please like our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/lapazimageing so you can get your exclusive access.

We cannot wait to hear your feedback-Who did you think just looked like perfection and got it right? Who is your worst dressed pick?
