Links for the week.
– Jezebel covers the current state of animal testing in cosmetics.
- Get silky smooth tresses with the new hair condom!
– Contouring has clearly jumped the shark.
– Major beauty crime alert. Glad she got caught.
– Beautiful with Brains shares some very old recipes for literal face paint, while History Today provides some perfume recipes from the early 17th century.
– Speaking of scent, do you let anyone else know what perfume you wear? I think it's weird when a woman won't share the name of her preferred fragrance.
– So excited that we Americans can now buy Kiko online! I will be stocking up on the Vibrant Eye Pencils…seriously the best pencil liner I've tried.
The random:
– More accolades for and history of Clueless, plus some little-known facts about another '90s classic, There's Something About Mary.
– These two new exhibitions sound great to me – one is on contemporary toy design (we own some of these!) and the other is a history of internet cats.
– The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne will be debuting an art installation right here in Baltimore!
Finally, a blog note: I will be having some quality mother-daughter time at the Jersey Shore later this week so will not be posting much…I should be resuming at some point after I return, but, as you know, I can never guarantee consistency.
Do you have any fun summer travel plans?
