 Genius! Cool It Caddy

One of my earliest memories as a little girl was what I now fondly refer to as the “Crayon Disaster of 1982.” It was  a steamy August day and my mother inadvertently left my 24 pack of Crayolas on the dashboard during a trip to the beach. You can imagine the multi-colored mess of wax that we discovered after our day of fun in the sun

 RIP Rock & Republic Cosmetics

I’m not normally one for gossip…but I’ve heard a bit of unexpected bad news from two reliable beauty sources in the past few weeks and I thought I’d share. Remember when we talked about Rock & Republic ’s luxe new line of cosmetics here and here last year? Well, apparently the line’s high pricepoint hasn’t hit the mark with consumers in the past year and it’s already being discontinued.

 Beauty Products You Swear By

Just had a few DMs with the lovely Adriana Lukas about which beauty products/regimes we swear by, and those we are interested in trying. I sent her links to products I've written about previously here , the Kiehl's Tinted Moisturizer my daughter and I use daily, she such a fan she once said, “I believe I am going to use this for the rest of my life,” and I believe her, and will, as well.

 Holiday 2009: tarte

This season, tarte is celebrating Holiday with another version of their annual, best-selling palette – and this time, it’s 30% bigger, with an extra 16 eyeshadows. This year’s  bejeweled treasure chest kit with mirror includes: 16 all new shimmering tarte eyeshadows 16 all new matte tarte eyeshadows 16 all new lipglosses tarte’s mineral powder bronzer in park ave princess all new soft pink luminizer four new powder blushes As far as I’m concerned, palettes like this one make amazing gifts for any beauty-loving girl – and tarte’s is a great value at just $52. That said, if palettes aren’t your ‘thang,’ tarte has two other gift sets, including  crown jewels ($39), a lipgloss multi-gift set that’s essentially three gifts in one (one for you, perhaps?)  and three carats ($25), a limited edition mini cheek stain set with three brand new, limited edition shades: brilliant (shimmering champagne), princess (shimmering rose) and cushion (shimmering deep apricot).

 Should I Cut My Hair? You Decide

While I am not endowed with her other attributes, I do have about the same hair (texture, color, curliness) as Sophia Loren. A few months ago, I was looking at images of her and was taken by a short cut she had, the photo of which I sent to my hair-cutter, saying, I might want this cut when I go to Panama in January, as I will not be taking the blow-dryer (what my daughter calls my ” ghetto hairdryer ,” to which I have essentially been harnessed since age thirteen because it nicely half-pulls out the curls)
