My new beauty routine with Clarins
I have a new beauty routine with Clarins and I couldn’t be happier with the positive results to my skin. Right now my skin is in that in-between stage; I need to protect it from the harsh winter weather but don’t want to over moisturize and cause breakouts. So when I was invited a few weeks back to a Clarins event at Bloomingdale’s I was eager to find out about the latest product innovations from one of my favorite French beauty lines. Here I was introduced to a new Clarins beauty regime which uses Double Serum, followed by Multi-Active Day Cream, then finishing with Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate. The Double Serum is a fueled…

Grey Nails at Prabal Gurung for #NYFW fall 2015
Grey nails debuted on the runway at the Prabal Gurung fall 2015 New York Fashion Week show to my delight. The sporty, fall collection is inspired by a trip to the Adirondacks and so the beauty reflected a very healthy look. Honestly, Grey seems an odd choice in nail color at first, but the color is very fresh and interesting and while different isn’t so intense as some of the black and dark blue shades that have been popular in recent seasons. Gurung designed this particular shade of Grey used in the runway show for Sally Hanson. Unfortunately, I don’t know when it is going to be released so I will be…

Rich Girl Hair at Jason Wu for Fall 2015
A big trend that I adore is the new “Rich Girl Hair” look seen at Jason Wu and Prabal Gurung for the Fall 2015 shows in New York City. Actually Kathleen Hou from the Cut dubbed the hair with this phrase, but no matter what you want to call it the hair is long, and straight with a slight wave. Unlike the popular “Beach Wave” this hair looks more natural and sophisticated with the wave in the middle portion of the hair. The trick to create the wave is to only put the hot curling iron on the hair for a second: but of course hair never looks as good as when…

Loving Clarins Instant Light Comfort Oil
It’s cold in the East Coast and here in Washington, DC it is very windy and yet my lips are not suffering this winter due to Clarins Instant Light Comfort Oil. Actually I am a bit of a lip balm addict, always trying a new brand or flavor. So recently when I was invited to attend a Clarins event at Bloomingdale’s I was introduced to Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. The Raspberry oil instantly won me over with the delicious smell of fresh Raspberries. Then I used my lip comfort oil for a few days and magically when I was headed to the metro, battling cold weather and even…

Charlotte Ronson “Morning After Beauty” fall 2015
Charlotte Ronson designs for the ‘it’ girls and for fall 2015 she delivers with a fresh “Morning After Beauty” look with a collection that is flirty, delicate and filled with light military touches. The show was set in a mysterious modern, urban garden surrounded by oversize flowers and granite prints in shades of deep Blue, Steel Grey and deep Magenta. Feminine materials dominated many looks with sheer tops paired with boxy knit sweaters or fitted trousers. Refined and edgy, the line was dominated with softer lines fueled by late 60’s sportswear. The beauty look or shall I say the “Morning After Beauty” look is so natural, so simple, it appears…

TSA-Approved Beauty Vending Machines
It is possible to get beautiful ‘on the go’ with innovative TSA-Approved beauty vending machines that can be found in airports around the world. I recently encountered the Benefit beauty vending machine on a recent trip to New York City and was thoroughly impressed with the selection and the ease of convenience. The Benefit Glam Up and Away Kiosk offers travel size TSA-friendly products so any lipstick, foundation or Mascara purchased can easily go onto the plane and passes all TSA size requirements. As I like to feature the latest developments in the world of beauty, technology and commerce, such as the Kate Spade Interactive Store in NYC, the Benefit beauty kiosk is a…

The Flowers of Paris
The Flowers of Paris dot the city and when I visited Paris this summer I was amazed to find blooming, colorful flowers on every walk. The pictures are so beautiful I simply had to share. Who can resist heart-shaped flowers. Perfect for any token of love or to decorate any wedding ceremony. Too many variations of pink to count in these stunning blooms. These healthy Hydrangea liven up any space in dramatic Purple and Green. The flowers of Paris really are magical. 0
