I love self tanners. They add a healthy glow in a healthy way – without the sun – and make us look healthy and rested. A good facial self tan means less makeup, and tanned legs tend to look a little more fit somehow, and a good self tan can disguise blotchy skin and even…
Oh Benefit, you’ve done it again. Not only has Benefit created some of the prettiest and most versatile blushes and bronzers in the cosmetic universe but they put them all together into one beauteous palette – Benefit Beauty Cheekathon! Benefit Cheekathon reached vital proportions last week when Kylie Jenner posted her $1000 plus Sephora shopping…
The giant popularity of highlighting and strobing has had a lovely effect on recent beauty releases. Some brands like Bobbi Brown have had shimmery bronzers and blushes forever but it’s great to see other luxury brands jumping on the bandwagon. And these aren’t just for your cheeks. These can be used head to toe, although…
CHANEL surprised everyone the first time they tweaked their iconic No 5 fragrance in 2007 with the unexpectedly gorgeous CHANEL No5 Eau Premiere. No5 Eau Premiere was softened version of the classic No5, with a gentle airy powdery vibe, a fizzy sweetness and a warmth that is absent from the (gorgeous) original No5. Eau Premiere (which…
I love lip gloss – it’s practically all I wear. Sometimes I alternate it with balm, tinted balm, lip oils and even tinted lip oil. Like any normal person, I like to have at least 2 4 6 lip products with me in my purse at any given time. I like to have a little…
I’m a giant fan of AERIN’s beauty line. Her aesthetic is gorgeous – modern without being cold, and with a classic touch that is never old or dated. The gold packaging of the beauty is pretty, and her perfume bottles are too pretty to hide away in a cupboard. I adore the hefty square bottles,…
The biggest buzz in skincare right now is topical injectibles, aka topical Botox. Allergan (who owns Botox) is spending $90 million up front, and promising undisclosed future cash for Anterios, a New York City biotech at work on technology that could allow neurotoxins to be delivered through the skin without the need for needles. Having had…
Oh, mama, do I love a good gardenia perfume. It’s like a holy grail perfume search for me. Gardenia is a tricky flower from which it is practically impossible to extract perfume. It’s been done recently, but very rarely, and is prohibitively expensive. So most gardenia perfumes you smell these days don’t actually have any…
Every time I spritzed on Heeley’s Bubblegum Chic, the intense heady top notes reminded me of another perfume I knew I had in my collection. No, not the ass-kicking-take-no-prisoners tuberose of Fracas. It was definitely something more velvety and smooth. Bubblegum Chic is sold as a jasmine perfume, but I have to say the jasmine…
