It's always fun to see what sort of accessories some of your favorite celebrities are wearing, especially when it comes to sunglasses, that summer and all year round celeb staple. I came across an adorably colorful photo of Drew Barrymore in New York yesterday, leaving a photo shoot dressed in a springy dress and stunning hot pink novelty plastic sunglasses, which, by the way, I MUST HAVE!!!! So let's have fun checking out all the different shapes and styles each celeb prefers for shading their peepers, and if you know the specific designer brand any of them are wearing , please do share it with us!...

me (Kandee AKA Lil' Dulce...dulce means "candy" in Spanish...ha ha ha) as a Chola
WHAT is a CHOLA?
Chola's & Cholo's go back for hundreds of years, but the Cholo/Chola style really started in the 1940's, in Los Angeles. Funny songs like, "Lean Like a Chola" sing about the "sharpie pen" eyebrows and "thick eyeliner"! It's got big bangs, thin eyebrows, dark lined lips, big earrings, bandanas, freshly pressed Dickies pants, white tank tops, top buttoned plaid shirts, woven military style belts, and sometimes some gold name jewelry!
(My mama is half Mexican, so nobody better say anything mean....I'm not worried about here, but Youtube....is hte king machine of mean comments!)
My Nana, my mom's mom, was even born in East LA. And my great grandma was from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Gwen Stefani has represented Chola style for years!
Lady Gaga in her Telephone video shakin' her yellow hair to a chola inspired make-up and hair, with an American theme too! Chola meets the American flag! Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) as a Chola, living Latina Loca! Sandra Bullock as a Chola (thanks to George Lopez) she has classic, chola (cholo, the man version of a chola)... and now, let me show you how to get some Chola looking style in your make-up! Instead of looking like Chola's as a stereotype, look at it as a style that you can draw inspiration from!
Watch and enjoy.....
huge love, kandee uh, I mean, for this, Lil Dulce.....ha ha ha
FACTS: #1. This is the runway look from the fall L.A.M.B. collection from Gwen Stefani.... #2. I had no idea I would love RED EYELINER sooooo much! #3. I used red lipliner on one eye....(in CHERRY from MAC)...and RED paint palette from Make-Up Forever's Flash Palette....
I love this look....it makes eyes look AMAZING! Brown eyes look gold....blue eyes will look glowing....and hazel or green are going to look like smoldering EMERALDS! (how's that for a description?!?).... The lips are just nuded-out...my fav..with FLESHPOT from MAC (it's only available at PRO stores...so poo on them for not selling it everywhere!)...
This look is not as crazy as it seems....it looks really stunning! I love it and hope you do too! Lots' of love and redness...ha ha ha ha....kandee
