Unfortunately, I can’t control the weather and I can’t fully control the moisture level of my epidermis, but what I can do is try to regulate the latter. The top two brands in my cream team? That’s easy: L’Occitane and Kiehl’s.

3 Comments The Limited: Fall ‘08
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.

Leave a comment Everything’s Coming Up Roses
For Fall ‘08, the brand unveiled its new colors for their signature Shadow and the Rose palette ($79), which comes with two pearlescent eye shadow shades (mauve and deep brown-purple) and one complementary cheek color (peachy nude). Each color is embossed with Chantecaille’s signature rose, making it nearly impossible to want to use the palette for fear of messing it up.

Leave a comment Spray On
I’m completely neurotic when it comes to my hair. If a strand is out of place or if a wave isn’t swirled properly, yours truly might very well have a conniption fit. It’s sad, yes, but also sadly true. Also posted in Product Reviews Tagged blowdry, Bumble and Bumble, curling, Elnett, Hair, hairspray, L'Oreal, Revlon, Sebastian, Target, tools, Warren Tricomi

And I couldn’t stop staring at her perfectly rich red pucker, wondering how to achieve the same cranberry color without rubbing the tart fruit itself all over my lips.

Leave a comment Obsession: Dior Bronze Sun Powder Spray
The lovely girl who helped me — made even more lovely with her French accent — took me through the usual suspects, like BeneFit and Make Up For Ever, before introducing me to Dior’s Bronze Sun Powder Spray. She pulled the can off its display, sprayed the product onto a bronzing brush and swept it onto the inside of my wrist to test out the color.

Leave a comment I’m With The (Head)Band
The alarm screeches in your air come morning and you rather stupidly decide to snooze for just a few more minutes, minutes that somehow turn into an hour, leaving zilch time to hop into the shower. Baseball caps and straw fedoras are a faux pas at the office, so what’s a girl to do with matted hair and greasy bangs?

Leave a comment Afraid Of The Dark?
If you had to choose between lip gloss in a plain brown box or lip gloss in a sleek black box with semi-holographical patterns and visually arresting typography, it’s not had to decide which on you’ll plunk down a visa for.
