Dolce & Gabbana Lipsticks from the left: Petal, Devil, Dahlia, Fire and Mandorla
Upgrade! 🙂
Oh, as if anyone could actually improve upon the perfection that is the Dolce & Gabbana Classic Cream Lipsticks. They were/are some of my favorite high-end lipsticks around, in large part due to their categorically creamy and righteously rich formula (sorry, adverb overload).
They’re everything I could ever want in an expensive lipstick…except a lower price, ba-dum-tss!
But seriously, they’re packed with pigment, last a really long time, and they’re smoother than a tabby’s tum. Plus, there’s that gorgeous golden tube… I always feel fancy when I take one out of my purse.
But, apparently, Team Dolce & Gabbana did think there was room for improvement, because they recently reformulated and revamped the entire Classic Cream Lipstick line. They also added 20 brand new shades, bringing the new total to 42 (!), divided into six categories — reds, oranges, purples, corals, pinks and nudes.
The five here are just a smattering from the line, but I’m wondering — would you like to see more? I wore Petal the other day, but if you’d like to see more of the others, holla at yo’ girl.
They’re $33 each and available now at Dolce & Gabbana counters at Saks Fifth Avenue stores, Macy’s, Nordies, Sephora and online at saksfifthavenue.com and sephora.com.

(That one I had to order, but it hasn’t arrived yet.)
I also came dangerously close to grabbing a tube of Correcteur Perfection Long Lasting Concealer (been having issues with my under-eye circles lately because I haven’t been getting enough sleep), but they didn’t have the shade I wanted, so that one was a no-go.
Looking for a reason to visit Nordstrom next month? How about this: July 1. That’s when the NARS Domination Cheek Palette launches, one of three limited edition summer 2014 gift sets (for giving to others…or yourself) coming exclusively to Nordstrom.

All I want to do is eat junk food, watch Bravo and play with makeup all day long. #truth
I’d start with these cute pieces from the new Too Faced Smitten Kitten fall 2014 collection and a big bowl of popcorn (and, lately, Million Dollar Listing New York).
They’re available now at Too Faced counters and toofaced.com.
The makeup. Not the popcorn.
MEOW!

Able to leap short distances in a single bound, it’s, it’s…Super Tabs!
By day, he’s just your average diva kitty supermodel. Likes gravy, chasing birds, and watching reruns of My Cat From Hell.
But by night he transforms into the Husky Tabby! 🙂
I’m taking the new Read My Lips Lip Glosses by theBalm for a spin this week, but you know me. I’m already loving ’em because they look so comic bookish and have exclamatory names like BOOM, POW and KA-BANG!
I love comics.

A non-sticky medium-to-full coverage formula
