Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

Even though we are in the middle of winter, beauty brands are launching their Spring makeup collections fast and furiously. Last year’s Dior Spring collection, Avenue Montaigne was smoky and sultry.  For Spring 2012, Dior’s Garden Party Collection is the polar opposite.
Below I swatched 2 palettes from the Spring collection: Garden Roses and Garden Pastels as well as the Dior Vernis Party Scented Lacquers.

The first palette, Garden Roses includes soft pinks, Parma violet, silver and purple.

The second,  Garden Pastels features shades of pale pink, buttercup yellow and luminous greens. They …

German contemporary artist Anselm Reyle has created a limited edition collection for Dior exclusively at Saks. Joseph Johnson, the Dior Show Artist who travels the country spent some time with me.  He also transformed my personal artistry “Before” into his Anselm Reyle for Dior “After.”
What fun we had playing with all of the delightful colors in the camo palette with the signature Dior Cannage pattern along the mirror.

The palette consists of a camo pattern of purple, silver-gray tones and black and all can be worn lightly for the day and …

We announced our First Nail Competition a few weeks ago and we received tons of great submissions.
We think this year is most definitely the year of the lash and the year of the nail. There have been so many terrific nail lacquers and innovations, from the crackle variety to the popular Sally Hansen nail strips that nails now have more beautiful choices than ever before.
Take Chanel for example. Did they simply have to tease us with that glittery Peridot nail lacquer for Fall 2011? It’s enigmatic, strong, powerful. We can’t …

The Dior Summer 2011 Electric Tropics collection is full of BRIGHT shades and jewel tones. Think rosy sunsets, mocha skin, coral shades from underwater, and crowns of hibiscus. Think South Pacific palm trees.
Yes, very Lilly Pulitzer, one might say.
I love the Electric Nails duo in this collection. The shades of Paradise Pink and Aloha both come with their own bottle of topcoat to seal the deal. $26, each.
Here I am wearing the 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Rosy Tan #754 (this is found on Sephora.com as well). I’ve used only …

Upon entering the Conde Nast building, I felt I had entered a real life version of “The Devil Wears Prada.”  Every woman that passed by me was beautifully polished and exquisitely dressed.  It was a great break from my day job to be going to the exclusive Dior/Lucky Luncheon to explore the new Dior.com (new e-commerce site), play with existing and upcoming products and get a consultation with a Dior make-up artist.  As I entered the huge glass doors, I felt as though I was entering a customized heaven.

Some of …

Holding a piece of Dior makeup in your hands is like holding a precious jewel. From the packaging details to the metal cartouche, you know that love and care has gone into every painstaking detail.

So when I received the new Diorskin Crystal Nude Natural Matte Skin Perfecter (a silicone-based primer) , I was instantly smitten, like cat to catnip. And the idea of a Natural Matte Skin Perfecter was something my skin certainly could use, especially during the harsh colder months.

The product claims to be “magical, with multiple uses,” and …
