MAC Launches A Dessert Line (For Your Face, Duh)

You guys know about my obsession with beauty products that smell like food, so it should be NO SURPRISE that I’m clearly excited about the April 11th online debut (in-stores on April 18th) of MAC’s new limited-edition Baking Beauties Collection.  I can’t even give an accurate description of the sugary line, because I’m THAT excited.  Ok, that’s slightly crazy but I can tell you that it’s a sugary mix of pastels with a face powder that has a cake pattern etched into it.  I kind of hate when brands do cool designs in powder compacts because it truly makes me not want to actually USE THE PRODUCT and then I end up keeping it for years and, once again, prove how gross I am.  Anywho, make sure you check out the limited-edition collection stat.

Loving My Hair Right Now

I think there’s something to be said when you’re actually at a point in your hair life where you can say “hey, my hair is looking pretty awesome this week” so, you know, I had to share.  As you guys know, I’m a big fan of Gavert Atelier in Beverly Hills and lately, I’ve been frequenting Just Extensions, which I can tell you, as a matter of fact, are the two reasons that I’m loving my hair right now. True story.

The awesome Toyomi highlighted my hair to the light (but not platinum) shade that I love, using a technique called Alchemy.  Toyomi developed the inspiration for her craft in Tokyo, where the world of beauty is exploding with color and creativity. With this vibrant vision, she took on Beverly Hills working with celebs such as Leven Rambin and AnnaLynne McCord.

As for the fullness and volume of my hair, this is where Just Extensions comes in.  You probably read my first post, but just in case you’re not familiar, Just Extensions is an affordable hair extensions bar that focuses on one thing: extensions.  And they have all different kinds, including micro-links, braided sew-in, beaded one-step weft and fusion techniques that range from $100 – $300.  If you know extensions, then you KNOW that’s a pretty amazing price.

What I’m Doing Right Now…

Freaking OUT about the fact that my blog is being held hostage and, after spending a fortune on a redesign, I’m not sure when I can actually launch it.  SIGH.

– Drinking my favorite red wine and reading the new InStyle.

– Looking at my Instagram photos and feeling so lucky to have some amazing friends and people in my life!

– Trying to figure out how to get my cat, Gemma, to stop scratching my couch.  Any ideas?  And, yes, I’ve tried buying a scratching post…this is what they do with it.

– Contemplating cutting my hair to this length…but I probably won’t.

– Anxiously awaiting The Mindy Project…I’m kind of over New Girl.

Update: Under Construction


There’s nothing more frustrating than having to wait…fact.  And, if you’ve been following me on Twitter (and now Facebook!) then you know I’ve been patiently waiting for my new site design to launch!  Getting to the point, things happen, e.g. technical difficulties that only coders can understand, so there’s a slight delay in my launch, which sucks.  Stay tuned, ladies…patience is a virtue.

And, in the mean time, like my new Facebook page!

xo,

NET-A-PORTER.COM Launches Beauty (with a super chic luncheon)!

I feel like last week was just full of fun events, which I love, and I was super stoked to attend a fab luncheon hosted by NET-A-PORTER.COM, in honor of their new beauty launch!  Clearly, being the beauty addict that I am, I’m excited.  A highly select edit of 11 brands, including Chantecaille, Natura Bissé, Aesop, Le Metier de Beaute, 3 LAB, Beauty Works West, Philip B, Joya, Ilia, Sarah Chapman and James Read will kick-start the phased launch.  Even more makeup, hair and skin products, as well as nail polish and fragrance (spanning niche and established labels) will be added every week.
