I’ve been trying to be more considerate about what I buy lately but I did buy a few things with an eye to the transitional weather and spring events and travel. I don’t wear black except for evening and have been wearing a J.Crew x Marie Marot navy pair of trousers all winter. Since they […]

I’m still using a lot of the makeup I bought last fall but I’ve made a few changes so I thought I’d walk you through my new routine for fall 2023. Of course, you need a good base for makeup and I take skincare very seriously. You can find the products I use and treatments […]

I had a moment in late summer when I decided to replace a lot of the makeup I use. After two years of not going many places and not wearing a lot of makeup, I felt like it was time for a fresh start. Of course, you need a good base for makeup and I […]

Even though we just got out of a heat wave, I’ve already been shopping for fall. I always joke that if you’re not sweating when you’re buying a coat, you’re doing it wrong because by the time you actually need one, they will be sold out. I’ve put together a few transitional outfits for fall […]

I was planning on posting something else today but then I saw that Bergdorf Goodman is having a 30% off Beauty Sale on select products. The brands included are pretty amazing too. It would be a great time to treat yourself or find some great Mother’s Day presents. There are even a large number of […]

I’m anxiously awaiting the launch of Westman Atelier, the clean beauty collection from make up artist Gucci Westman and her husband David Neville. It won’t be available until May but the WSJ.Magazine has an interview with the couple and a look inside their Upper West Side apartment. The new beauty line took three years to develop […]

Valentine’s Day is coming up in two and a half weeks. I know a lot of people hate this commercial holiday but it can be fun if you embrace it. You can celebrate with friends and family, plan a romantic date night, or treat yourself to a spa day and some self love. To get […]

I’ve had quite a few people comment on how great my skin looks lately. I thought it was a good time then to share some of the new beauty and skincare products I’ve been buying and trying lately. I’m still using a lot of the products I’ve written about in my previous makeup and skincare posts […]

I’ve written about my skincare routine a few times but realized that I have never shared my makeup routine. I think taking good care of your skin is essential for makeup application and the ability to use less products but I always wear something. Even if I’m going to the gym, I’ll apply a little […]

If you’ve ever used a Touche Eclat highlighter pen from YSL, then you already know Terry de Gunzburg. She created the iconic pen while she was creative director of Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. In 2001, she founded her own beauty company By Terry that is poised to become the next global beauty brand. The London […]

Even though I’m back from Paris, my bag still holds French treasures.  In addition to souvenirs and a few leftover Euros, my Reed Karkoff clutch is also home to the super chic new Alber Elbaz limited edition eye collection for Lancôme. I’ve always worn Lancôme mascara and now it has a cute new illustrated tube. The eye palettes […]

I’m very lucky that Estee Lauder sends me products to review because I often fall in love with crazy colors that I would never have tried on my own. I’ve been getting compliments on their red lipstick so I thought I would share it and a few of my other favorites with you.  I think New Year’s […]

We can’t all have a make up artist on call everyday (ahem, Rachel Zoe) but we can still learn from their expertise.  Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux and his team of makeup artists created the stunning look above on 30 models at the Derek Lam fashion show and included a chart.     “Working with Derek Lam […]
