Earlier today, I stopped by Telemundo NY’s “Acceso Total” to showcase some amazing holiday gift ideas for beauty enthusiasts — everything from luxury makeup brushes and sonic facial cleansing brushes to picturesque eyeshadow palettes, body butter collections, rollerball fragrances, hair care kits, holiday-themed nail enamel sets, and a surprise-filled beauty advent calendar.
With only one week left until Thanksgiving, it’s officially time to kick off our Holiday Gift Guide spectacular!
When it comes to the blush, most of the time (stage performances, festivals, and runway shows notwithstanding), we tend to covet a believable, just-pinched, post-workout, postcoital rosiness — not a Boy-George-during-the-Culture-Club-era flash of scarlet or magenta.
You may think of Glamour as a top-tier women’s fashion and beauty magazine— not to mention the chief architect of the “Do” and “Don’t” schematic — but the brand has as much substance as it does style.
Right in time for Halloween, LONDON SOHO NEW YORK has rolled out a limited-edition collection of makeup bags featuring some of Disney’s most fearsome female characters: The Little Mermaid’s sinister half-octopus antagonist Ursula; Sleeping Beauty’s horned, staff-wielding, raven-loving sorceress Maleficent; and Snow White’s narcissistic, power hungry, poisoned apple-clutching Evil Queen.
How often do our purchases serve a purpose beyond our own enjoyment and satisfaction?
Poppy King has more than earned her self-anointment as the “Lipstick Queen” but, as her pout-tastic kingdom has expanded, she deserves some new accolades, regal titles, and perhaps even some bejeweled crowns that leave no question about her authoritative status.
Don’t feel like dressing up this Halloween?
If I had to pick a song to describe my relationship with Urban Decay it would be Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now).” Yes, my life with Urban Decay has been wonderful — after all, the brand has consistently delivered richly pigmented, multi-dimensional, striking eyeshadows that blend exquisitely, eye liners that glide right onto the skin and deposit budge-proof color, and rich and saturated lipstick shades that enable me to create a statement-making pout in a matter of instants.
If you spend enough time shopping for, reading about, or reviewing beauty products, chances are you’ll develop an eagle eye when it comes to spotting them while watching your favorite TV shows.
