Beware of Cheap Mall Imitations

enzo milano

This is an authentic Enzo Milano, the original clipless curling iron. This delivers at-home, gorgeous, natural looking waves and curls without an expensive celebrity hair stylist.

Straight from Italy, I was only able to find one of these at a beauty supply store in Scottsdale called Beauty First. The manager even price-matched the sale price from the Enzo Milano website for me. Score! Beware of fakes on Amazon.com and ONLY purchase from authorized dealers. Enzo Milano and Beauty First

Glamour is Black

Black

Since the lovely YSL pur black gloss that Miss Summer told you about earlier sold out in presale,
here are some other options to get the same look.

MAC makes an opaque black lipmix available online or at Pro stores for $11.50.

lipmix
Also, Miss Summer found a new makeup line called Armour Beauty, and they have an opaque black gloss called Femme Fatale (lower right).
Armour Beauty lipglosses are environmentally friendly and healing to the lips.
They are available online at ArmourBeauty.com for $19.

Can’t live without my radio.

Singgih Kartono Magno Wooden Radio – small $200
This isn’t the cheapest radio you’ve ever seen but it’s definitely one of the flyest. I have a mild obsession with wood. <—(insert perve ideas here) but really on a design level i’m fascinated by how classy it can turn something even as simple as an old school radio into….perfect gift for someone who has everything or yourself. Sometimes you just have to take it back and remix it. www.designpublic.com

Marilyn Manson for YSL???

As we posted earlier, we’re headed for some pretty vampy lips this fall. But BLACK?? Yves Saint Laurent’s Pur Black Gloss promises “transparent, yet intense” color (is that even possible?) I immediately sent Shew a text to get her opinion.
Me: So…YSL Pur Black Gloss. Have you seen or tried?
Shew: Haven’t tried yet but it looks pretty in the pics I’ve seen.
Me: So… you don’t think we’ll look like we have poop on our lips?
Shew: I hope not, then no one will want to talk to us.
Me: Maybe that’s a good thing.

Not sure on an in-store release date yet, but you can pre-order online at yslbeautyus.com

Runway Ready in Minutes

Coloron eye envy – Revolutionary new one-size-fits-all mineral cream eye shadow appliques. Just press and peel, then dust on the setting powder. These come in 6 different styles including an exotic kit and a smokey kit. I’m diggin’ the animal print ones. But as far as the one-size-fits-all, I’m a little skeptical. Surely everyones eye shape is NOT the same. One box includes 5 sets of appliques, setting powder, and a brush for $25. I will DEF be trying these out.
