sparkle for the runway and every day

by Angela, Bellacara

I love this time of year. I love the crisp air while the sun is still shining in the sky. I get to pull out my boots, sweaters, and coats and throw on a red lipstick to go with it. I also inevitably start picking up anything with sequins, sparkles, or bling on it. I think it is my way of getting in the holiday spirit. This year I already have my eye on a sequin maxi skirt and a gorgeous art deco gold and crystal necklace.

That type of bling deserves an eyeshadow that can stand up to it. I love the new Stila metallic eyeshadows that are coming to Bellacara next week. I plan on sparkling from head to toe this holiday season!

I have been a beauty junkie for what seems like forever, but before I did anything about it, I went to law school. (Yes, my life is a little like the reverse of Legally Blonde.) Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Sonoma County after which I moved to the DC area with my husband in ’97. I served as Majority Counsel to the Senate Banking Committee followed by a year-long stint at a lobbying firm. You get the picture. It was then that I decided to act on my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Finding my favorite beauty products proved to be impossible without stepping foot in a mall–the horror. So, I decided to bring my favorites to Alexandria. A few trips to New York and a flight to France and Bellacara was born in March 2000.
