 A few weeks ago, I posted that cosmetics company Uslu Airlines — founded by makeup artist Feride Uslu — was getting ready to collaborate with worldwide DJs (think Ed Banger and Rolleryboys) on a club-influenced range of nail polish.
Now comes word of Uslu Airlines’ second-round nail color collabo with German-born designer Bernard Willhelm, who is an industry favorite, having worked under iconic designers like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
The Uslu Airlines x Bernard Willhelm line, based on common airport destinations and hues from Willhelm’s current collection, dropped at OAK in New York recently.

 Magazines and runways used to be the number one way to spot fashion and beauty trends, but in this 2.0 digital and media age, things have shifted.
Blogs (The Sartorialist, Facehunter, Fashion Toast), video clips via web (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and television shows (The O.C., Gossip Girl, 90210) are at the forefront of trendspotting, with bloggers and small screen stars getting to sport product, labels, color palettes and accessories firsthand before they hit the regular consuming masses.

 What do you get when you pair Matisse progeny with Hennessy progeny?
Fifty bottles hand painted by Sophie Matisse for Killan Hennessy perfumes, of course.
Killian Hennessy takes wafts of scent from his family’s famous cognac and mixes it with the wood barrel smell the liquor is stored in to create decadent fragrances for his olfactory line, By Killian.

 In unlikely beauty collaboration news, American cosmetics brand Avon teamed up with Ironman to launch a signature men’s fragrance collection.
This Ironman fragrance collection — whose tagline is “Anything is Possible” — consists of an eau de toilette spray, after-shave balm and deodorant, all of which will officially debut just before the big Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona in Hawaii this October.

 Throw the words “limited-edition” in front of the word “collection” if you want to see a mad scramble of ladies hot-footing it to the nearest luxe department store or it-boutique.
Limited-edition collections for makeup usually get released to the consumptive market around fall and holiday seasons because, quite simply, they make great gifts for someone, not to mention for yourself.

 Matching shoes, clothes and handbags is a no-no when it comes to style. It’s just as huge a no-no to match eye shadow with lipstick and nail polish.
What isn’t forbidden, however, is to match makeup colors with the season, as in pairing up your nail color this Fall ‘09 with the autumnal palette outside. This means when tree leaves leaves morph into brown and flutter slowly to earth, brushing that same color onto nails is the perfect manicure homage to a season of scarves, warm coats, crisp air and pumpkin spiced lattes.

 The Japanese have been privy to cosmetics from designer Jill Stuart since 2005. That is, until now.
As of March ‘09, Jill Stuart beauty products are hitting our shores in the form of a 20 to 30-piece collection, which is a sizable chunk of the 140-piece one available in Japan. The collection includes everything from cleansing oil to nail polish remover to eye shadow palettes.
