Links for the week.
– Been hearing a lot of buzz for Armani's new Rouge Ecstasy lipstick – the first CC ("color and care") lipstick on the market, which is apparently an "incomparable skincare lipstick that combines high-impact color with the ultimate comfort of a moisturizing balm." Not sure if I believe the hype as it sounds like a fancier version of tinted lip balm, but I'm willing to try a few shades. 😉
– Enjoy this slideshow of art history-inspired nail art.
– A reminder not to steal from Sephora – not only will you be arrested, you make the rest of us beauty junkies look bad! Still, it's somewhat impressive this woman almost managed to abscond with nearly $3,000 worth of stuff. Even if I wanted to shoplift from Sephora, I could never get that many products into my hands without the salespeople noticing – every 5 seconds a different one asks if I need help.
– Beloved '90s brand Jane Cosmetics is back. Surprisingly, this one of the few things from that decade that I can't recall.
– This is cool: a multi-faceted exhibition that combines fashion and perfume.
The random:
– Feast your eyes on these butter sculptures. I also got a kick out of these muffin top cupcake molds.
– Another Basquiat collaboration.
– In mermaid news, the statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen turns 100.
– I always link to an interview with one of my idols…can't wait for the new album.
– And, of course, I always link to Glossed Over's annual Vogue live blog. Great insights expressed with truly hilarious snark – it's a must-read.
