Obsessed.

Obsession. By Target.

Fire & Ice

I'm loving the vintage packaging of this Revlon Fire & Ice lipstick. Clean, simple and the perfect color for spring!

Lip Service

Although this winter has been particularly mild, I've still been feeling a bit stuck in the winter doldrums. So when I stumbled upon Jouer Cosmetic's lovely lip sheers named after island paradises like St.Tropez and Positano, I was like, Calgon take me away.



My package from Jouer arrived this week, and I'm pleased to say it rocks. Their packaging is pretty and feminine and all orders come with your choice of two samples. Best of all, the lip sheer I order (Capri) made my lips feel like they were on vacation. All that and SPF 15...damn Gina!



To send your lips on a getaway, check out Jouer.

Roost Rules

The images on Roost are just too much. I think you'll be seeing me post a lot of these beauties from now on. Check them out for yourself here.

summer beauty

The summer heat in NYC is brutal, so I change my summer beauty routine for a lighter approach. It all begins with moisturizer (I like Clinque), then I lay on Physican's Formula Bronzer - I use it in place of cover-up in the summer. After that it's a few swipes of mascara and I'm good to go. I finish it off with my favorite, Rose Bud Salve on the lips and a bit of Body Shop White Musk perfume oil. I find that perfume oil fares better in the hotter months - at least on my skin.

That's my summer beauty routine. Do you have any summer beauty tricks?

great kate

I love this image of Kate Winslet. So simple and beautiful. Happy Monday!! xo.

untitled

I really love the packaging for the Maison Martin Margiela fragrance "Untitled". So clean and simple. The scent is described as "...boxwood, incense, bitter orange...as if they had been gathered after the rain." I don't know what wet incense smells like, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Available, obviously, at the ever-chic Colette.

splash time

I just love the colors (and the minimalist packaging) for Marc Jacob's new line of splash perfumes. The flavors are Ginger, Cranberry and Curacao. Who's ready for summer!?

diamonds are forever

smell me

Last night after work, I stopped by The Body Shop and brought this little lady home with me. I'm newly obsessed!! Have you guys used White Musk before? I can't stop sniffing myself. HELP!!

p.s. I really love the simple, bare bones packaging and the fact that the bottle is so tiny. It feels like a secret potion!

tiny town

Whistler Blackcomb XXS from Whistler Blackcomb on Vimeo.

I've been lucky enough to have skiied in some pretty lovely places (Zermatt, Vail, Jackson Hole) but this video makes me excited to check out Whistler Blackcomb. Doesn't it look like a tiny little play village? via black eiffel.

the power of kiehl-ing.

During the cold and dry winter months, I keep a bottle of Kiehl's Creme de Corps on my bedside table. I love the old-school, no frills packaging Kiehl's has employed (since 1851!!! damn!) but I kinda like the limited-edition Jeff Koons version. The small bottle would make a cool stocking stuffer for your favorite arty pal. Found here.

age ain't nothing but a number

V Magazine just released their "Age Issue" and there are some breathtaking images inside. These were my favorite, but see more here.

classic cuts

It seems like more and more old-fashioned barber shops and salons are popping up all over NYC. I was particularly intrigued by this one called Ernest & Olivia. Love that checkerboard floor!

good medicine

Beauty blog, Into The Gloss, explores what's inside some of the most famous medicine cabinets in the Fashion industry. I loved peeking into model of the moment Karlie Kloss' medicine cabinet. Check it out here.

inked

Great packaging for an interesting perfume (apparently it smells like Japanese ink). Read the press release here.

marilyn vacays

These rare photos of Marilyn on vacation are lovely. How funny is she with crutches and a bikini by the pool? Only you Marilyn, only you!!

These rare photos are available for purchase in book form here. Great gift!
