Women vs. Women


Some women bleach their skin to make their skin coloration lighter.


Some women tan their skin because it gives the illusion of toner body.


Some women are curvy.


Some women are skinny.


Some women contour their nose, to make it appear smaller.

 Some women use lip injection for fuller lips.

   Why are we judging one another? Not to condemn any of the beauty services; just curious to know why is it so hard for us women to be less judgmental and more supportive of one another. Women vs. Women is a constant battle, we would rather demean one another instead of uplifting each other. We all have our personal reasons and motives for the decisions we make in life, some decisions are based on media influence, others are based on family, so on and so forth. As women, we need to take a stance and stop pointing our fingers at one another and begin encouraging, and uplifting each other instead.
   Why can't love be enough? Love is so inspiring, encouraging, and it makes this crazy world a better place to live in. If we can learn how to love one another, we would be better examples before our children. Love teaches our children to be kind, to speak highly of one another and most importantly to HELP each other. We need to teach our daughters to stop competing with other women, our biggest competition is ourselves. Therefore ladies lets learn to LOVE, INSPIRE, and ENCOURAGE each other! 

        "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic, and we'll change the world."

What to wear

Do you need some style inspiration for an upcoming event, a date, a night out on the town with the girls. Here are some outfit inspirations for you ladies which you can incorporate in your wardrobe. I hope that this works and as always if you are interested in wardrobe styling, hair or makeup needs contact PGS via email phoenixglamsquad@gmail.com


Black and White:

This black halter top with white capris and the accent of silver accessories is perfect for a summer night out with the ladies to dinner and drinks. 


This black leather sleeved jacket and cream tank top partnered with these printed harem pants with the lush red lip color is perfect for a day to night outfit. 

Here are some of PGS favorite makeup products for the summer.

1. Mac Brow pencil in Spiked-When it comes to brows it's typical to alternate between powders and pencils, but during summer the pencils are great for long lasting hours for the heat. This brow pencil is quick and simple and great for blending.
2. Urban Decay Naked palette-1 and 2 is amazingly pigmented neutral shadaws that can be incorporated in many makeup looks! You can do a natural daytime look but also a smokey eye suited for nighttime.
3. Nars Tinted Moisturize in Malaga-Great for full coverage, even in 90 degree weather.
4. Mac Fix + Spray-Keeps your makeup refreshed, and it also helps your makeup set in place and last longer.
5. Nars Bronzer and Blush Duo in Laguna & Orgasm-a very natural, light bronzer while Orgasm gives an instant glow on the cheeks.
6. Revlon Lip Butter in pink truffle-Amazing lip butters, that last for long hours at a time.
7. Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki-A bronzer, that can also be used as a highlight for eyes and face.
8. Elf Cosmetics Foundation Brush-This flat brush is amazing for applying your foundation.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
                 Actually, who are you not to be?
    You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
   We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson
