Estee Lauder Sumptuous Color Bold Volume Lifting Mascara?
2009-09-23 22:35:00
Wow….I remember colored mascara back in the 80’s!  I used to wear this electric blue one that looked dark unless you were in the sun then they were so blue it was almost alien.  Well colored mascara is back in a BIG way…but not like the electric blue I just mentioned….more subtle.  More “grown up” if you will.  Of course Estee Lauder is behind the new colored mascara push and the first to release shades that are compatible with the color of your eyes.  So, you can wear any shade ...

Get The Look: NYFW Thakoon Spring 2010 ? Hair From Wella?
2009-09-16 15:44:00
Thakoon?s spring collection is described as ?warrior-surf? and reflects a hard/soft, natural/artificial dichotomy with organic construction or armoring of the body, contrasting with patterns cut around the body as a canvas with soft draping. The palette can be described as muted watercolors with an array of nudes, blues, pinks and aquas.  While I wasn’t all that crazy about the makeup (the models looked a little too colorless for my taste) the hair was amazing.  This texturized, deconstructed look can be easily achieved at home and will be a pretty ...
