A song wrote for Selena Gomez by Pixie Lott

The singer wrote 'We Own the Night' which was recorded by Selena Gomez and the Scene for her last album, 'When the Sun Goes Down', and although they have yet to meet, Pixie is glad they worked together.


Speaking at the recent MTV Titanic Sounds concert in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Pixie exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've never met Selena Gomez before, but she sounds really good on the song and she seems like a lovely girl.

"She seems to have such a zest for life, so I emailed her and said, 'Thanks for recording the song,' and she emailed back saying, 'No worries, that's fine, thanks!'"

Pixie has previously written tracks recorded by Alexandra Burke and Girls Can't Catch, but also for artists further afield, such as Dutch winner of 'The X Factor' Lisa Lois and Asian girl group Girl's Generation.

She added: "I only have 12 songs on my album, so all the ones I write that don't make it get sent off by my publishers and luckily some of them get picked up. A lot of them are hits in other countries like Belgium or Holland, so most people in the UK don't know about them."

Pixie's performance at MTV Titanic Sounds will be shown in the UK on MTV music on May 5.

Target Beauty Bag!

A month or so ago, I entered to get a beauty bag from Target. They were giving away a bunch of them without purchase through Facebook and I was able to get my hands on one!

Here is the actual bag it came in. It's really cute! It's a London Soho New York bag, it is a little small for all the junk I usually take with me lol But cute nonetheless.

Top left: This is a little packet of Simple cleansing facial wipes. I've been seeing a bunch of commercials about this brand recently and wanted to try them out, so I'm super happy these came in the bag.
 Top right: L'oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer sample. On the back it says you can use it all over the face for subtle luminosity, bled on cheeks and under eyes for a highlighted affect and it works on all skin tones and types. I'll probably be testing it as a cheek highlight because there is so little of it.
Bottom: Coupons! A booklet of beauty coupons for products featured in the bag and also others, like new Sally Hansen magnetic polish! Really pumped about this!

Left: Nivea Extended Moisture daily lotion. I love lotion and I'm always open to finding a new favorite.
Middle: Neutrogena Visibly Bright daily facial cleanser. Love this because I've been on and off considering getting a cleanser but never followed through with it. Also, Neutrogena is the brand of facial lotion that I use, and it is literally the only one that doesn't make me break out, so I'm excited this is Neutrogena.
Right: Pantene Flat to Volume conditioner. This is part of their fine hair solutions line. My hair is kind of fine, but I have a lot of it so volume it never really a problem for me. I'll probably be testing this out just because lol

That's it! Overall, uhmmm I love this! It was awesome of Target to give these out with no purchase and the best part is that the samples are actually really nice sizes (besides the Magic Lumi). I'm excited to try literally everything out!

Until next time,

Selena Gomez a 'Bad Girlfriend' ?

Selena Gomez is a "bad girlfriend." Okay, maybe not so bad that Justin Bieber is going to dump her, though he might think twice after hearing about Selena's gaffe.


It turns out that Selena was given a sniff-test and failed. What was it that she was supposed smell? It turns out that, unfortunately, Selena Gomez failed picking boyfriend Justin Bieber's perfume Someday out of a line-up of three bottles. You would think that Justin would have at least given Selena a tester of his fragrance to try, right?

"I'm such a bad girlfriend," exclaimed Gomez upon failing the sniff-test. Yeah, you are, Selena! Of course, you can't expect someone like Selena Gomez, who is busy selling her own, competing line of perfume to know what her boyfriend's scent smells like, can you?

 Then again, if she doesn't know the competition, it can't bode well for Selena's new scent. The question is, can Justin Bieber pick his girlfriend's smell out in blind sniff-test? Now that would be something.

Selena Gomez Tries to Dress Age Appropriate


Selena Gomez always tries to dress "age appropriate." The singer-actress is aware that she has a number of young fans and says she tries to wear clothes that they could also don.


"Obviously sometimes I'm going to dress for me. I wouldn't specifically want younger kids wearing a gown or a top that I wear. But most of the time I do wear things that are appropriate for everybody," she told People.

Along with having her own clothing, Selena, 19, is preparing to release her debut fragrance this year and she is hoping it is the first of many: "I'm so excited about my new fragrance which will be coming out soon.

 I think we're just going to name it after me for the first one because I think it would be simple to just do that for right now but I'm hoping this is the first in a line of perfumes, we'll see. It's going to be something different too because my fans are going to help me choose it so it'll be very fan involved.


I've had some great suggestions from my fans already, they've been choosing some really good fragrances so it's very exciting."

Selena Gomez says about Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift's 'Beautiful' Duet

There's no hint of jealousy from Selena Gomez about her boyfriend Justin Bieber's upcoming duet with her pal Taylor Swift. While Justin has revealed that he was working on new material with the country singer, the details about how it sounded have been kept a secret, but Selena Gomez has heard the track.


Talking to E! Online: "It's beautiful. I don't know if it's going to make it on the record, but it's beautiful."

Selena, who stars alongside James Franco in the new movie 'Spring Breakers', was totally impressed with her co-star's version of her track 'Love You Like A Love Song'.

Of the video clip that went viral, she said: "I loved it. It was so good. What people don't know is that he was very much in character when he was doing it. I thought it was hysterical."

The track is also set to feature on an upcoming episode of Glee, and she only found out through one of the TV show's actors.

"I didn't even know and my label didn't even know it was happening. Cory Monteith texted me a video of someone singing it and I was like, 'Wait, that's Lea!"

I asked him if they were on set and he sent me back a smiley face. So that's how we found out."

Justin recently talked to Capital FM about his new album: "It doesn't stay in a box. Everything is so different, and that's why I'm so happy with this album."


Justin Bieber buys limited edition motorcycle

Justin Bieber has splashed out $20,000 on a limited edition motorcycle.

The 18-year-old singer - who doesn't have a motorcycle license - chose the arctic white silk Ducati Superbike 848 EVO from a Los Angeles dealership a few weeks ago on the recommendation of his friend and mentor Usher, who has the same model in black, and took delivery of the vehicle on Thursday (19.04.12), TMZ.com reports.

Justin - who is dating Selena Gomez - already has a fleet of expensive cars, with the most recent addition being an 18th birthday gift from Usher and his manager Scooter Braun.

During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Justin was presented with the luxury sports hybrid vehicle, a Fisker Karma, and was stunned by the $100,000 gift.

He said: 'What? That's for me? ... Wow. Is it all electric? This is amazing.'

He also owns a $160,000 Range Rover, a Batman-themed customised Cadillac and a Ferrari.

However, the star has previously admitted he has always wanted a motorcycle.

Speaking in 2010, he said: 'I got a car for my birthday, Usher helped buy it. Maybe he will get me another car for Christmas.

'My mom is trying to figure out something to get me. I want a motorcycle. Not a big one, a little pocket one, a small miniature one which is really cool. I do like fast cars.'

Justin Bieber makes 'Beautiful' music with Taylor Swift

Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have made a "beautiful" record together. The 'Baby' hitmaker has recorded a track with the 'Love Story' singer and though few details about the collaboration have been made public, Justin's girlfriend Selena Gomez has heard the song and is very impressed.


She said: "It's beautiful. I don't know if it's going to make it on the record, but it is beautiful."

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old star admitted she has no plans to return to the recording studio any time soon as she is currently focused on her acting career.

She told E! News: "We're maybe going to do some fun remixes, but right now it's just about movies."

Selena was thrilled recently when she learned Lea Michele will perform her track 'Love You Like A Love Song' on a forthcoming episode of 'Glee' and admits the inclusion of her track came as a surprise.

She explained: "I didn't even know and my label didn't even know it was happening. Cory Monteith texted me a video of someone singing it and I was like, 'Wait, that's Lea!' I asked him if they were on set and he sent me back a smiley face. So that's how we found out."

Makeup Products & Tips For Warm Weather

Light Makeup:
Avoid wearing layers of foundation because this will only make you look oily because of the warm weather. Use foundations that are lightweight like a mineral loose powder or a tinted moisturizer.

Don’t skip the Primer:
This is the time to put that primer to use if you don’t use it any other time. The primer will help stop any shininess and will help your makeup stay in place throughout the day.

Set your makeup:
Use a translucent powder to set your makeup, this will lock the color and will also keep it from getting shiny.

Waterproof mascara:
Some women have runny mascara due to sweat or from beach or pool, therefore using a waterproof mascara will help avoid those problems.

Sparkly Lids-
 
Try a shimmery champagne eye shadow, this will make your eyes pop and will still look very natural.

Bronzer- 
The bronzer will give you a glow and a little color without being dramatic. Of course use a color that is not too dark for you to avoid looking orange.

Products for warm weather:

L'Oreal Bare Naturale Powder Mineral Foundation SPF 19 Sunscreen

MAC Lipglass

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20

Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash
Bare Escentuals Prime Time

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer

Orly Feel The Vibe Collection for Summer 2012

New summer collection from Orly!

Left to right:

Melt your Popsicle

Dayglo

Skinny Dip

Glowstick

Beach Cruiser

After party
 
Mainly neons for summer, which are perfect.. but the black and white kind of confuse me. I think the collection would have been fine without them, but if you imagine it without the black and white, three out of the four look very similar to the Happy Go Lucky collection that came out late last summer (I believe). I guess we'll have to see how these turn out in person!

Until next time,

Milani One Coat Glitter in Twinkle!

The other half of my BOGO1/2 Milani purchase

pinky- three coats of Twinkle over black
ring- two coats of Twinkle over black
middle- one coat of Twinkle over black
pointer- one coat of Tinkle

Twinkle is little blue hex glitter and small, round purple glitter in a clear base. As you can see it is kind of far from a one coat glitter. I did take a picture of about four coats on its own, but it was horrible and I didn't have the heart to put you through that. All I have to say is that it takes at least three thick coats and maneuvering to get it to be completely opaque.

Other than the lack of being one coat, the formula on it was good and dried pretty fast. I like the colors in the glitter, it's pretty similar to a nails inc. polish but not a dupe. I'm very attracted to purple glitter at the moment, not sure why... but I'm not complaining.

Until next time,

Justin Bieber engaged with Selena Gomez?

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez are very young, and their people laugh off the suggestion of a pending wedding.
 But several people close to the superstar couple say they’re convinced an engagement is in the very near future.

The teen idols were spied closely eyeing some pricy bling in a couple of major jewelry stores — especially major diamond baubles that could only be described as the kind usually slipped on a woman’s left-hand ring finger.

Bieber is 18, and Gomez is 19.

Milani FX Jewel Lavender

I've been eyeing some of the new Milani FX Jewel polishes lately, but haven't had the stomach to pay almost $6 each at CVS. But then! CVS decided to have a BOGO1/2 on all Milani products! Woohooooo, so I decided to be a creep and scope out the polishes that I wanted before the actual sale started.

 
Milani FX Jewel in Lavender over China Glaze Smoke and Ashes (I was too lazy to remove it, good thing it's a black background!) I believe this is one coat on pointer, two coats on middle and so on and so forth. It doesn't look like much a difference though. This is lavender larger hex glitter and smaller round glitter in a clear base. You can click the picture to enlarge it, and if the glitter looks a little blue that's just my camera. It's completely lavender in person.

I really love the color of it, and the formula is good. The glitter lies flat and dries pretty quickly. Not much more you can ask for from a glitter!

Until next time,
