Untie Your Luxurious Side With YSL's Bow Collection
Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, YSL has just unleashed a new beauty collection featuring the bow. And since YSL often incorporated bows throughout his collections, what better way to celebrate the end of 2008 than with this tribute to such an elegant, sensual, and demure little knot? As the late Monsieur Saint Laurent once said, "One should always be tempted to untie a woman's clothes."
Charming Summer Beauty Accessories
These fabulously fashionable charm necklaces from designer brands are the new "It" items of the season. Not only do they look pretty, but they're fully functioning cosmetic cases, too. Inside of these baubles by Dior, Missoni, and YSL are actual beauty products such as bronzer, creamy highlighter, and perfume.
Back to Basics: The Best Peach Lip Glosses
There's something about peach lip gloss that is universally flattering (but especially on blue-eyed beauties). The challenge is to find the right balance between coral and pink tones.
Kate Hudson wore a frosty coral-peach-colored lipstick to the London premiere of Fool's Gold and just look at how it warms up her skin.
Pastel Products, Part IV: Cheerful Cheeks
Welcome back to my series on pretty pastel beauty products. I hope that checking out these flirty finds is getting you excited for Spring. Below are three different pastel blushes that are best worn on the apples of your cheeks and then blended outwards (to your hairline) and upwards (towards the top of your ear).
Trend Alert: Bronze Nail Polish
Ok, I realize that there are many, many things wrong with Britney Spears' manicure—not to mention with her family's latest news—but if you can look past the stubby length, the lack of filing, and the chipping, the color is actually really cool.
Bronze nails happen to be yet another version of the hot metallic nail trend that has hit Hollywood this season. Since I know it's hard to keep staring at this picture, especially since the lit cigarette is such a focal point, I've featured two pretty and pale bronze colors on the following page.
Yves Saint Laurent End-of-Year Collection
You've seen a little bit of Yves Saint Laurent's End-of-Year Collection already (namely the Palette Pour Les Levres and Limited Edition Multi-Usage Palette) but here's the entirety of it.
I don't know about you, but ever since YSL came out with Lip Twins Duos, I've been on pins and needles awaiting its next round of goodies. The rest of this collection is comprised of six products, including a Compact Powder/Blush ($52), a Holiday Eye Shadow Quad ($50), Limited-Edition Rouge Pure Lipsticks in two shades ($28 each), and two matching shades of La Laque Nail Enamel ($18 each).
Beauty Companies Celebrate With Vintage Packaging
This year marks the 70th birthday of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream, the 40th birthday of Dr. Hauschka's Rose Day Cream, and the 30th birthday of Yves Saint Laurent's Opium fragrance. To celebrate these products, the companies have re-created the original packaging for a limited time.
New Product Alert: YSL Palette Pour Les Levres
Yves Saint Laurent is on a hot streak this holiday season with cute and sassy products from their Love Collection. This silver charm was inspired by an old piece of jewelry that Yves Saint Laurent loved. The original heart is made of white gold and is embellished with garnet-colored Swarovski crystals.
Bellissima! YSL Limited-Edition Multi-Usage Makeup Palette
"Wow" is all I have to say about this new glamorous and rich-toned, holiday 2007 limited-edition Multi-Usage Makeup Palette ($67) from the Yves Saint Laurent Love Collection. Leave it to the big guns to create such an aesthetically pretty and make-you-feel-loved makeup palette. And for once—I do have to be fair here—the price really isn't all that outrageous for what you're getting.
Product Review: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
By now I'm sure you've all heard about Yves Saint Laurent Touché Éclat highlighter ($39.50). This cult beauty product has legions of celebrities who use it, and it's received a load of press in magazines. But does it live up to the hype?
