The Spring/Summer 2013 Ready-to-Wear show in Milan presented a collection from Dolce & Gabbana that evokes the most profound Sicilian tradition and exquisite handcraftsmanship.

Hourglass. One of the best new lines to come to my attention in the last ten years. Founder Carisa Janes has created some extraordinary products — from the packaging to the pigmentation and wearability factor, Hourglass is in a class by itself.

Summer is coming to an end and that means our tans will fade, our neon nail polish shades go back into our medicine cabinets and we get to try those dark berry lipsticks, but, most importantly, we face some annoying skin troubles due to the climate change. If you thought your skin took a beating during the summer months, the fall is just as capable to cause some unsightly breakouts and dryness. BeautyStat wants everyone’s skin to make the transition without so much as a pimple in sight, so we …

Pat McGrath, one of my all-time favorite makeup artists states “Summer is the perfect time to experiment with texture and colour.

I have always liked the duality of the rich pigments of color and the supreme glossy shine that the inside presents on the lips. It makes for a two-in-one …

As the talented Pat McGrath (celebrity and CoverGirl makeup artist) said, “I love that CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Lipcolor empowers everyone to create their own signature look every day.” Well, who doesn’t want to have makeup artist tools at their disposal? CoverGirl has really stepped up their formula quality; I don’t feel as if I’m using drugstore cosmetics. From the packaging to the product itself, it feels like a prestige lipstick!
Blast Flipstick Lipcolor is a double-ended lipstick that enables you to create either a flat or shimmery look. I was pleasantly …

CoverGirl’s Queen Collection lipsticks got a much needed and well deserved re-launch with the help of legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath.  With all due honesty, the collection really needed this re-launch and these new formulations have set the bar for drugstore lipsticks which demonstrate variety and quality at budget friendly prices.
