It doesn’t look good and it feels even worse – but we still have to look good during the summer, right? If you’re looking for a lightweight makeup solution when the heat is on, you should consider purchasing natural makeup. Organic and all natural makeup products have increased tremendously in popularity over the last few years, which equates to a nice variety of different brands and solutions to choose from.

Reality Wanted sat down with Anna to discuss her grand prize win of $125,000 from TRESemme this week on The Fashion Show. Likely still in the thick of some chaos and euphoria, here are some of her answers to the questions I’m sure you’re wondering about: On the sweetest part of the victory: “Because the decision came from the public and ultimately, I’m making something that people go out and buy… that really made a huge difference to me.” On Daniella’s finale collection: “Her collection was very of the moment, very high fashion.” On her favorite design from the show: “The cups dress.  That was just something that I did and I was completely trying something new, you know?” Read the rest... [Read more]

Congratulations, Anna!! I’ve been a huge fan of her work over the course of this season of The Fashion Show, especially in the later episodes where you really started to see her designs develop into something special. I’m delighted to see Anna win this week – with 31% over the judges pick. That’s a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!

All the designers from Season 1 of The Fashion Show return this evening to gossip and recount all the mishaps and scandals that happened throughout the show. Did Johnny really create a knock off?

How adorable was Anna last night up on the runway presenting her collection for the season finale of The Fashion Show? Okay, I might be a little biased because I think she should be the clear winner here (and have thought so for a while now!), but I really have to say I was very impressed with the beautiful clothes she created. I could see these clothes in a high end store or on someone walking down the street – everything just makes sense. I wasn’t surprised at all to hear from the judges that several people in the audience mentioned they would buy the clothes…but I was disappointed that the judges didn’t share my level of enthusiasm. Since it will ultimately be the American public who decides, I’m still holding... [Read more]
