Internet beauty sensation
Lauren Luke is touring America in a pink bus, and StyleList is
along for the ride.
The 28-year-old British mother and cosmetic entrepreneur -- she sells her namesake line,
By Lauren Luke, at Sephora -- is sending us a photo diary from every stop of the inspirations for her future cosmetic creations.
On yesterday, we got the V.I.P. treatment in
Las Vegas, Nevada. On Thursday, we dusted off our cowboy boots in
Austin, Texas. On Wednesday, we shucked oysters in
New Orleans. We kicked off the road trip last Tuesday by partying along the shores of
Miami. And today, a beauty look influenced by the warm deserts and cacti of Phoenix, Arizona mesmerizes us. Click through the gallery to see Luke's Phoenix inspirations and get her take on each.
And for more on Luke, visit
her own site for the lowdown on exclusive looks she created for Sephora appearances in many of the cities she visited.

"I picked this outfit -- the peach and the blue necklace -- to go with the Phoenix, Arizona eye colors. I usually just wear black, so it was nice to have a bit of color on for a change."

"I love the angle of this photo. It looks very posh. Set on a clear shelf, with a glass full of the badges. The scattered badges remind us of petals being scattered."

"I love the sticky notes in the background. They're all my favorite colors, and the neon is what I'm into right now. And I love the placement of the samples, which went down really fast at the events."

"I love the pink and green on the flowers beside us. I like the colors of the sticky notes and the simplicity of the Sephora sign behind me."

"I love the color of the eyebrow (on the TV) and the richness of her silk top. It's my favorite color -- a dark, petrol blue. And then the peach satin of my top -- the contrast of the colors."

"This girl had amazingly long lashes. I was a bit jealous. She had a Barbie pink and violet eyeshadow on that inspired me to create this look back home."

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
