NEW Luxury Anti-Aging Line from SK-II
Asian women are obsessed with SK-II– the brand introduces the new SKIN SIGNATURE SERIES for Fall 2009, founded following a dermatological study revealing that each individual’s skin has a tipping point, where elasticity and resilience begin to decrease more rapidly (I think that point is between 40-50 for most women). To help stave off the [...]
L’Occitane Moments of Africa Soap Set
I did a double-take when I was at L’Occitane’s holiday preview a few months ago — a set of three soaps for $8? From L’Occitane? Whaaaat!? Moments of Africa Soap Set is indeed only $8, comes in a ready-to-gift box, and 100% of the proceeds go to charities fighting blindness. The soaps in the set [...]
Web Snob October 30, 2009
55 Secret Street weighs in on Newsweek’s Zahara Jolie Pitt hair controversy and wants to know, “Are We All Really “Team Zahara?”. Stiletto Jungle thinks a wrap sweater you can wear 6 ways is perfect for fall. All Lacquered Up takes you backstage at Carolina Herrera where
Snob Steals and Deals: Laura Mercier “Renaissance” Collection
Laura Mercier is a great line of cosmetics for a natural look. This Laura Mercier ‘Renaissance’ Collection is great because it is such a good value. And it’s like they compacted everything as well as they can for traveling. They made the concealer brush double ended, so that it’s two brushes in one. And they [...]
Flecked Nail Polishes
I am completely obsessed with flecked nails! Deborah Lippmann has been coming-out with the most AMAZING shades. I already told you guys about her 10th Anniversary set of three colors ($35) which comes with Rubby Red Slippers (super-dark taupe with red flecks), Superstar (dark brown with copper flecks), and Funky Chunky (black with black [...]
Review: RMK Extra Deep W Mascara
It’s hard not to laugh when standing at Asian cosmetic counters– with products named “Happy Butter Lips” or “Shiny Face”– do you blame me? When I saw this mascara at RMK– the “Extra Deep W” (directly translated, they really mean extra long), I stifled a giggle and let the SA put it on me. Holy [...]
Celeb Trend: Braided Ponytails
I’m all about braids on a bad hair day: pig tails, French braids, braided ponytails — whatever. On the red carpet however — when you’re a celebrity like Blake Lively and have had professionals fussing over your hair for hours — I don’t understand why you would opt for this look. If you block out [...]
Anastasia Brow Enhancing Serum
There is so much talk about lash enhancers, but what about the brows? In my opinion, brows are what frame the rest of your face. I have a full shape to my brows, but the hairs are on the sparse and thin side. I usually fill them in, but at the ends of the brows, [...]
Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Happiness Collection
I have a feeling that with the economy the way it is, this holiday season is going to be amazing for gift sets. I’ve already begun seeing the great deals at Sephora and among them is the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Happiness Collection ($54). It’s a limited edition exclusive to Sephora and while I know that [...]
Snob Worthy Links October 27, 2009
Nitrolicious has the Rich & Skinny Spring 2010 Look Book including some new washes and distressed denim. Couture Snob loved this Robert Rodriquez leather jacket so much, she gave it to her best friend and is now buying another for herself! The Find was looking for some over-the-knee boots to wear with leggings and a [...]
