Teal and violet make for two tantalizing treats in Laura Mercier’s Teal and Violet Longwear Creme Eye Pencils ($24 each) from the New Attitude summer collection.
I like wearing these for a bright pop of color on my lash lines with neutral lids.
They’re both available now, along with the rest of the New Attitude collection, on Laura Mercier counters and online.
I have no idea why I keep buying your nephew cat toys because it seems like all he ever wants to do is play with boxes.
The second he saw this one he walked right in like it was a table in a restaurant.
I can picture his little kitty brain thinking, “Mine.”
Cats!
DAY 30!
Time flies when you’re having fun, and I’ve certainly enjoyed getting to know the 30 Lip Glosses in the newly reformulated NARS Lip Gloss line.
We’re wrapping things up with warm-toned Eternal Red ($26), a timeless orangey red that looks gorgeous all year round but begs to be taken out in the summer.
I think shades like this one look fantabulous with a tan. 🙂
Eternal Red is one of the seven completely new shades NARS added to the 30-piece line when they revamped it, so if you’re all about the new schtuff, check it out on one of your next visits to a NARS counter, or on one of your next online window shopping sessions.
Oh, hello, drama! It’s me, Karen. 🙂
NARS Rose Gitane Lip Gloss took my breath away the first time I saw it on my lips.
Well, actually…my diaphragm convulsed so suddenly that I emptied my lungs, but that’s neither here nor there. This deep sangria red has shimmer, and it’s the shimmer that makes me like it so much.
It’s available now at NARS counters and online for $26.
No, not the show by Shonda Rhimes. 🙂
Although I do go through phases where I’m all about that show (don’t mess with Huck!)…
I’m talking about a different Scandal — cherry red NARS Scandal Lip Gloss.
It seems so summery to me!
It’s available now at NARS counters and online at narscosmetics.com for $26.
This one’s for the die-hard NARSissists and/or fans of Vin Diesel (Triple X? Wasn’t he in that movie?).
It’s essentially a clear gloss — a nice, non-sticky alternative (for $26, mind you) to MAC’s Clear Lipglass.
Triple X is available now at NARS counters and narscosmetics.com.
Another NARS gloss great for weekends.
Behold, the Pyramid of Giza! You may not know this, but the ancient Egyptians loved sheer nectar NARS Giza Lip Gloss ($26) so much that they built a pyramid in its honor. 🙂
OK, not really…but I’m sure they would have had it been available back then.
I love this one by itself and layered on top of MAC Staunchly Stylish Pro Longwear Lip Pencil.
It kind of has a similar thing going on with NARS Chihuahua, but with more peach and less pink.
You can get Giza now at NARS counters and online with its 29 cohorts in the NARS Lip Gloss line.
Meet Sixties Fan, another member of the pigmented posse, also known as the new 30-piece NARS Lip Gloss Line ($26 each).
A rich and shiny pomegranate, Sixties Fan is available now at NARS counters and also online.
