Kat von D Gypsy Eyeshadow Palette

I was so stoked when Kat von D came out with a makeup line. I immediately coveted the eyeshadow palettes, which at the time included Beethoven (gorgeous blues and purples) and Ludwig (pretty greens and browns). Since the initial launch of the Sephora exclusive line, von D’s line has expanded to include Lightning Sheer Lip [...]

Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect and Lip Polish

Dior’s original Addict Lip Gloss is a cult favorite, and the brand took the gloss’ popularity and spun it into the reformulated, ultra-shimmery (and sometimes glittery) Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect line, which has also received a great response.
The glosses in the Reflect line are available in so many appealing shades, from soft peaches to bright [...]

More gorgeous limited edition fragrance packaging, this time from Issey Miyake in the form of L’Eau D’Issey Summer (a floral with musky tones) and L’Eau D’Issey Summer Pour Homme (warm and woody with spicy accents). I love how the pattern and design is incorporated into the type on the bottles. The limited edition 2009 bottles [...]

Lavanila Health Fragrances

The company was founded by Danielle Raynor and Laura DiGirolamo, beauty junkies who both wanted to find a fragrance that didn’t make them itch, sneeze, or get headaches and other allergy symptoms. The pair set out to create a [...]

Tend Skin

Tend Skin is another of those “happy accidents” that sometimes occur when you develop a product for one thing, and it turns out to be even more useful in another way. The story goes that a man was at the dentist and was given a medication to alleviate the pain associated with the dental procedure. [...]

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Summer Fragrance

Sometimes a perfume bottle is pretty enough that I don’t really care what the perfume smells like. Sure, it would be nice if it didn’t smell skunky, but even if it’s just eh if it has a fantastic bottle and packaging, then I’ll still covet it.

Jean Paul Gaultier definitely has the fabulous bottle covered with [...]
