The curl has to be the curliest it can go and each lash has to be darkened as dramatically as possible with the mascara brand I’m obsessing over at that moment (read: Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum Express in Glam Black). I’ve spent my money on shu uemura and Shiseido eyelash curlers, and even more dollar bills on eyelash primers. Yup, I wasn’t lying when I said eyelash nazi.

Pumpkin, that bright orange squash, is homey and familial, known more for ingesting in pie, cookie, latte or roasted seed forms. Less known are its contributions to preserving and conversing beauty because this melon gourd is packed with protein and zinc, as well as serves as a cholesterol combatant.

Despite the shift in weather, chic women in major fashion cities are taking a cue from the Victoria Beckhams, Rihannas and Katie Holmes of the world, shearing their long locks into short styles.

Colette and Aeroports de Paris, who operate Charles de Gaulle Airport, have come up with a limited-edition travel beauty kit called “Kit de Beaute Colette pour Aeroports de Paris” that happily conforms to those pesky, annoying security requirements — I know a girl who had to forfeit her Smith’s Rosebud Salve because of them. Not good. Posted in Brands, Collaborations, Fashion, Limited Editions, New Product, Obsessions
