Sometimes change can be a good thing. Yes, at first seeing the award winning Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in its new Fifth Avenue location took me by surprise, but once I stepped out of the elevator and onto the fifth floor…. I felt like I was in heaven. My mind was flooded with my Condé Nast days of going to their salon at their previous location for a full day of beauty. It was the most prestigious thing I could do back then, and certainly can use it now …

ARTISTRY® is among the world’s top five largest selling premium skincare brands. Available March 2012, Artistry is launching an “Escape to Paradise” collection inspired by the sun-drenched glamour of the Italian Riviera.
They have spared no expense in their packaging and the Cheek and Eye Quad I received, as well as the Lip Gloss Duo Compact, were simply elegant and beautifully designed; not to mention the weight of the Lip Gloss Duo…I need to put that on a scale! There’s some weight to it for certain.

The Cheek and Eye Quad are …

“Rose Gold is instant prettiness.” – Bobbi Brown
You may want to know what inspired this collection: Bobbi’s own rose gold wedding band. How romantic.
This collection offers plums, pinks, roses and corals, colors which are considered by many to be universally flattering. Bobbi also added two new Shimmer Brick Compacts, and an assortment of new lip glosses in the Rose Gold shades.
 

The new, Limited Edition Shimmer Brick Compacts are available in two shades. I sampled the Wild Rose one which has five different pressed shades of ultra-luxe pure pearl pigments into …

Make Up For Ever had me at their gypsy-inspired, customized Spring 2012: La Bohème Collection on packaging alone. I was attracted to both the patchwork design and color choices that mimic the hues inside this limited edition eye palette. One of the season’s most naturally beautiful and wearable trends are soft colors…hence Creator & Artistic Director of MUFE, Dany Sanz, created La Bohème to evoke the feeling of a romantic rebel who wants luminous, fresh-looking makeup.

The La Bohème collection includes MAKE UP FOR EVER’s first baked eye shadow palette ($39.00). This collection …

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 …

Walking into their Chelsea space in NYC made my mouth water. All I could see was color, tables upon tables of lipstick, eye shadow, face powder, nail polish, etc. in almost every color, plus this holographic-like lip gloss that made my heart beat even faster. If you are a beauty lover like I am you totally understand what I mean. Inglot cosmetics are now in Macy’s Herald Square, with another free standing store location, but, my beauty crystal ball tells me Inglot is going to be a huge success, with …

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a party debuting Benefit’s FIRST liquid foundation last week. I was familiar with their powder foundations, as well as concealers, but was excited to try their newest creation. At the event, I walked pass a sign that caught my attention: One small step for complexion, one giant leap for perfection! Okay, I’m hooked.
I sat down with one of the many talented Benefit makeup artists and proceeded to be “swatched”. They have nine shades, I was Champagne. She first prepped my skin with their …

“The most modern way to wear bright color is an accent on an otherwise neutral face. “ – Bobbi Brown
Bobbi couldn’t describe her collection any better. I have had the good fortune of working for Bobbi for many years. I have to say, that when I first saw the Spring 2012 Neon and Nudes Collection I was so excited! Neons bring me back to my childhood, when I first started to play in my mother’s cosmetic draw. However, this collection is most definitely for adults: Its fun, colorful and most …
