Prescriptives is Back!

  Every so often I’ll get invited to an event where I’m asked to sign a document saying I won’t write about the products/information discussed until a certain date, but until an Estee Lauder event I attended last night I had never been invited to one where I was told that the brand it was [...]

Givenchy Limited Edition Holiday 2011

I love sparkles (especially for holiday!), but there’s a fine line between glowingly sparkling and Jersey Shore-worthy. Even when I highlight my face and body I want the sparkles to be subtle so it doesn’t actually look like I’ve added sparkle, but rather just that I have healthy, glowing skin. L’Or Céleste Starry Loose Powder [...]

Estee Lauder Launches Pure Color Modern Mercury

I’ve met Tom Pecheux on a few occasions and he’s awesome. Not only does he have impeccable taste and a knack for being ahead of beauty trends (he was the mastermind behind the orange eye look at Derek Lam’s S/S 2011 show, which set off the orange beauty trend), but he’s honest and funny (ie, [...]

New from Givenchy

Usually when I opt for a bold eye color I go with grey, brown, or black shadow and line my eyes with a popping colored liner on my top lash line, but I am so tempted to buy Givenchy’s Le Prismissime 9-Colors Eyeshadow 61 Acid Lights ($62). How eye catching is this limited edition set?? [...]

Elizabeth Arden’s Spring/Summer 2011 Launches

I’m always surprised at how relatively affordable Elizabeth Arden is. Maybe it’s because growing up I often passed their Red Door Spa, which looked so glam to me as a kid, but in my head they’re way more luxurious than their prices would suggest. The one place the brand is lacking, in my opinion, is [...]

Diorskin Crystal Nude

The older I get, the more I dislike powder. Other than photo shoots and filming, I never use powder anymore. But I still get patches of unwanted shine so I’m on the hunt for a powder alternative. I’ve tried blotting papers but they still leave a weird texture on my skin. The closest thing I [...]

New Sensai Bronzing Powder

I recently flew out to St Louis for my brother’s college graduation and with all the airport madness I figured it would be best to stick with hand-luggage. Unfortunately that meant leaving my treasured Sensai Fluid Finish Foundation at home (I swear the Natural Beige shade feels like it was made for me!). I did [...]

Givenchy Summer 2010 Collection

  I never wear waterproof mascara because I worry about loosing eyelashes in the process of taking it off, but my allergies have left me no choice but to succumb. Well… sort of! I’ve been using Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara ($29), which now comes in waterproof black and turquoise varieties on the small lashes at the edges [...]

CHANEL SPRING 2010 MAKEUP COLLECTION

The beauty trend is soft and feminine for Spring 2010 and Chanel’s latest make up collection is no exception.  ‘Coco’ Chanel left an indelible imprint on countless women with beautiful, practical and lasting designs that enhanced a woman’s natural allure and LES IMPRESSIONS DE CHANEL — a collection of clean, classic neutrals– pays homage to [...]

New Beauty Shimmer Product

I have no desire to glitter as brightly as a Christmas tree but a little sparkle never hurt anyone (right!?). The All Nighter All Over Shimmer PowderTM is an all-natural highlighter for hair, face, and body that gives you a gorgeous subtle glow (and I promise no one will mistake you for a pole dancer). [...]
