Links for the week.
– Like moths to a flame, beauty addicts are predictably going crazy over this rainbow highlighter. I must admit it does look really fun! But it's only a matter of time before a major beauty brand copies it – if I were that Etsy seller I'd patent/trademark my creation forthwith.
– Things I'm dubious about this week include glitter stretch marks and anti-aging gin. No amount of sparkle will make my stripes appealing, and I doubt the collagen in the gin will do anything to counteract the notoriously un-beautifying effects of alcohol.
– Speaking of dubious beauty, for once and for all: smearing any sort of placenta on your face does not have any proven benefits for your skin.
– Well, this is terrifying. For any beauty procedure, always make sure your esthetician is qualified!
– I'm throwing some confetti Essie's way in honor of their 1,000th nail polish shade.
– Lip fillers are quickly becoming the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure.
– Loved this piece on Louis Vuitton's kabuki cosmetics case.
– Some rather sad news this week: the world lost yet another gloriously eccentric, incredibly talented musician who could also rock some amazing makeup looks. Goodnight, sweet Prince. 🙁
The random:
– In museum news, this new app sounds so cool! Meanwhile, this guy uses a face swapping app in quite a novel and hilarious way. Also, a temporary Snoopy Museum has opened in Tokyo.
– In '90s nostalgia, New Kids on the Block and Paula Abdul are playing a show in August, along with Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees.
– Excited for Documentary Now to return.
– A bed fit for a mermaid princess!
