Jean Paul Gaultier’s Classique

Aly Walansky — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:48:04 +0000

A few weeks ago, I was helping one of my best friends pack up one apartment to move to another.

She, too, is a beauty editor, and upon opening up one of her hall closets, we were greeted by shelves upon shelves of bottles of lotions and potions.

When such myriad options are in front of you…what jumps out? The prettiest package.

And, that day, I oo’d and ahh’d (and grabbed) everything that came in sexy bottles – without even knowing what it smelled like or even who made it. And the same effect just happened again.

If you have been paying attention, the constant theme that runs through each of Jean Paul Gaultier’s works are an image of a woman.

This theme continues in the limited-edition Classique, a sweet floral-oriental scent in a corset-shaped bottle.

I love the scent – but also the bottle – and I think it may be a perfect choice for your spring fragrance editions.

Bobbi Brown Brights Eye Palette

Aly Walansky — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 06:07:40 +0000

Inspired by Fashion Week, Bobbi Brown’s new Brights collector’s edition palette is perfect for a gal like me who never outgrew playing dress-up and experimenting with her makeup.
The palette includes 35 soft matte shadows in shades ranging from pinks and greens to blues and purples. All the shades are new and exclusive to this palette, which features a unique, fold-out design and full-sized mirror.

I do tons of work-related travel – and this baby will take all the guesswork out of beauty product packing! (Well, as far as my eye lids are concerned, at least.)

Fafi, by MAC

Christina Jones — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 11:39:04 +0000

The newest collection from MAC, in collaboration with graphic artist, Fafi, is available online now – and what I would have thought might have been a collection of really unwearable colors (well, ridiculous for those of us in rural Texas anyway), is actually full of some great classic MAC colors, plus some new ones that are really wearable. Lots of gorgeous girly colors! Don’t miss the fun extras – there are t-shirts, tote bags, makeup bags and Fafinette dolls.

What I really wanted from that collection is the scarf, but as I’m looking now, one day later, it is gone. I know better than to not buy when I’m looking at limited edition things.

/kicks self and buys the Fun N Sexy lipstick instead. Probably will use that more than a scarf anyway. *pout*

Pout-à-Porter Pixel Pink by Lancôme – On Sale Now!

Christina Jones — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:26:04 +0000

Lancôme’s final installment in their Pout-à-Porter line is available now, in limited numbers, for $25, at Lancome-usa.com. Judging both by the delish color, and the past history of quick sellouts of the Pout-à-Porter lipsticks, you had better get your credit card and your typing fingers warmed up!

This lipstick is the product of emerging designer Thakoon, and was featured at his Fall 2008 show. Thakoon envisioned a young, modern Japanese woman who leaves her life behind and escapes to Hawaii. Once there, she loses herself in the surf and sun. Not a bad vision, eh? I can’t help but remember Claire’s funny story about her Proenza Pink. This looks to be a MUCH more wearable color. But get it before you have to spend $75 bucks on it, ok?

And stay tuned for my Fashion Week story about Lancôme. I had an absolute blast at the Lancôme boutique in NYC, and have a renewed love for Lancôme (and especially their L.U.C.I. collection!). But I will still never,ever shop Lancôme in College Station again. Thank God for the internets (again).
