February 14, 2013 Just look at these lovely Face & Eye Palettes from Giorgio Armani's Pop Collection. Tailored for spring 2013, the makeup collection is centered around these beautiful compacts. Instead of their signature black lacquer cases, the brand opted for a glossy creamy white shade.
Created by Armani's International Makeup Artist Linda Cantello, the intent was to mix bold, vivid shades with nude ones.
February 13, 2013 As part of the Laura Mercier Arabesque spring 2013 collection, two Crème Cheek Color blushes were included to emulate the airy pink theme. Oleander is a soft pink with a tiny hint of coral while Praline is a warm, light nutmeg. Both are very sheer and buildable, resulting in an extremely natural-looking finish. I needed at least 2-3 layers for the Oleander to show up on my cheeks.

February 4, 2013 Clarins is back with a new Rouge Eclat spring 2013 makeup collection. The star product, the new Rouge Eclat Satin Finish Age-Defying Lipstick, is pretty darn amazing.
Inspired by the satin texture of the iris flower, it features their exclusive Nutri-Youth Complex to banish fine lines. Packed with mimosa, sunflower, jojoba, mango seed, and shea butter, the creamy and nourishing formula is really pigmented so you don't need more than a few swipes to get the right coverage.
February 3, 2013 Valentine's Day may be a commercial holiday, but it can still be a fun way to show your loved one that you care. Here are a few gift ideas to show your affection:

Beauty, Food & Drink, Fragrance, Holiday January 29, 2013 For spring 2013 the Dior Cherie Bow makeup collection is all about lively pinks, greys, and more pinks. Polished and chic, these two colors are the basis of a magnifique beauty presentation.
Part playful fashion accessory, part makeup compact, the Cherie Bow Palette is the star product for spring. A trio of soft pink and grey eyeshadows, black liner, and nude shimmer lipgloss are all you really need for an elegant look. The colors are definitely on the basic, neutral side, but it's always way more fun to have them displayed in a bow-shaped compact! Plus, everyone can wear these shades and it's so easy to apply them on if you're in a hurry.
January 28, 2013 New Zealand fashion designer Karen Walker has a new spring collection, Hi There, which is now available at Anthropologie. The cheerful red Bow Pocket Blazer is a wardrobe must-have.The little bows add such a cute accent.
January 25, 2013 As the leader in fierce colors, the spring 2013 makeup collection from NARS is filled with lots of bold shades. Think of bright blue, parakeet green, orange and deep reds, and you'll get the picture.
I'm not as brave with such strong hues, so I opted for the limited edition Corcovado Soft Touch Shadow Pencil.
January 23, 2013 I adore the Rose & Chamomile Cleansing Nectar from Marble & Milkweed. Calming and extremely gentle, the deceptively simple mixture of raw honey, German chamomile and Bulgarian rose smells so heavenly. The honey's viscous texture is very sensual, transforming your daily cleanse into a decadent ritual.
