Lately, I’ve been in love with an "off nude" lip, or nude lipsticks with a slight splash of color which would compliment a refined look (such as at Bottega Veneta) or androgynous look seen at Dolce & Gabbana.
First on my list (although there is no particular order of preference) is Bobo in the Dior Addict line. This color has shades of pink which I really like, adding just a hint of color to an otherwise nude lip. More Here...

There's so much wow stuff around that actually I'm quite liking the simplicity of these little Aveda shades. Aveda is more known for its shampoos and hair products, but they do also have a small make up range. These Petal Essence singles are £11.25 each, so quite expensive, but their USP is that they are infused with flower waxes and have a very slight floral scent. They're talc and mineral oil free, too, and made to a non-fade formula. There are also a couple of new lipsticks from this range too which I'll come back to. The range launches on 1st September.

A girl's scent of choice says something about their personality. It's a form of self-expression, and sometimes it's hard to find that special scent that makes you feel happy. I've comprised a list of my favorite perfumes, and who knows, maybe they'll be some of your favorites, too!
1. Victoria's Secret "Heavenly Enchanted"
The first time I smelled this at Victoria's Secret I fell in love. Heavenly Enchanted is a rich and seductive scent with notes of raspberry, coconut milk, and amber. (Sadly, this scent was limited edition and Heavenly Temptation has taken its place. $55 at VictoriasSecret.com) More Here...

It may be close, but the sun hasn't set on summer yet. And while we're soaking up every little last bit of warm weather, our hair color might be soaking it up too - and not in a good way. Miguel Angarita, Mizu New York colorist and educator specializing in balayage/hair painting and the ever-popular "ombre effect," offers these tips to prevent fading and keeping you from an extra trip to the salon.
Blondes – Blondes have it easy during the summertime because the sun adds some natural highlights.
These falsies are for when normal(ish)-looking lashes just aren't enough. (All are $10 at NYX).

Navy, red, emerald, and beige smoky eyes managed to make several appearances on the catwalks of NY Fashion Week Fall 2011. I adore all four of these colors, but I doubt I'd be able to pull off something like what's shown above.
Yeah, it's a little too bold for someone that sits around in a lab all day. But it still inspired me to do a more "regular-person-and-not-runway-model" approach to this brazen fall trend.
For this look, I used the NXY Triple Shadows for Sexy Babe's Eyes Only! palette (what a corny name) in TS 21 Copper/Rust/Bronze. More Here...
If you're a fan of Benefit highlighters - and let's face it, they're pretty darn good at the glow - you'll love October's launch of champagne highlighter, Watt's Up. I love the packaging on this one and also like the flexibility of the product that lets you go high-beam or side lights only.
