– Some great new-to-me blogs I've started following: Wild Beauty and Deep Glamour (the latter is local – hi neighbor!)
– Did you always have a yearning to see 330 pounds of Yves Saint Laurent lipstick in a huge rectangular sculpture? Well, your wish has been granted.
– How cool is this design student's hypothetical packaging for a new makeup line?
– Chantecaille doesn't quite have the market cornered on elephant-themed beauty items this fall, as British Beauty Blogger shows us tweezers with an elephant charm.
– If you've got a spare $120 sitting around you can get Dior's 24-karat gold temporary tattoo.
– The Institute for Art and Olfaction, "a new organization devoted to the art and science of perfumery" will open in Los Angeles in March 2013.
– In other West Coast news, Fruity Lashes shares some pictures of the fabulous, brand spankin' new NARS boutique in L.A. I just happen to be going out there later this week to visit some friends, so I'm really hoping I make it there!
– Speaking of being away, I'm taking this week off from blogging. But I will be back next week with some Halloween fun. 😉
