Color Yourself Gorgeous With These Lip Crayons!

by Diana Ajih on July 30, 2010

in beauty

Guest post from my friends at The Find!

You’ve got your stash of go-to lipsticks, favorite lip glosses, lip stains for that natural rosy look, and practical lip liners for those
days when you need something more precise and foolproof… but lip crayons? Sounds like something you would have reached right for when raiding your mom’s makeup stash as a little girl, but they’re actually way more grown-up than they sound — in the most fun, beautifying way possible!

Slightly more waxy than your typical gloss, glossier than your typical tube lipstick, yet way more color-saturated than a gloss, lip crayons apply much smoother than their Crayola inspiration, so don’t be turned off by the name! Lip crayons are more like chubby pencils, technically, but somehow the idea of a crayon is just way much more fun, giving the idea of effortless, on-the-go color that’s as simple as staying within the lines (that is what lip color is all about, anyway, right?). I especially love Tarte’s LipSurgence for a more sheer, stain-like formula, while Lipstick Queen’s Chinatown pencils pack some serious color despite their lightweight glossy texture!

From left to right: Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon, Bobbi Brown Lip Crayon, Tarte LipSurgence Lip Stain, Lipstick Queen
Chinatown Glossy Pencil, and Vincent Longo Gel
Crayon.

Butter London Fall 2010 Collection Pays Tribute to Alexander McQueen

by Diana Ajih on July 29, 2010

in Fall

It’s been six months since celebrity designer Alexander McQueen passed away; however, his tributes continues on. Butter London is paying tribute to the late designer with two new shades from the Fall 2010 collection. The two shades are inspired by McQueen’s fashion-forward style.

“Buzzwords in nail trend for Fall 2010 are texture, depth, and layering, says Creme. “At Alexander Wang we created a textured beige nail that was modern and sophisticated. Then the press went wild when I custom mixed Marrow at Vena Cava. It’s a deep, murky purple that suits any skin tone.”

Of the rest of the collection Creme says, “I’ve had the idea for Bumster for ages. It’s an amazing twist on a neutral colour, and this ochre yellow looks INCREDIBLE on!” And finally, “Victoriana” is a deep, twinkling vintage blue that reminds me of all the wonderful historical interiors in London. I’m having a nostalgic moment!”

From Left to Right:

All Hail McQueen- A gorgeous taupe color polish with holographic gold flecks. In sunlight, the polish sparkles flashes colors of gold, orange, green and a few other hard to identify colors.

Bumster- A buttercup yellow creme shade inspired by McQueen’s low-slung trousers seen in the Fall 1996 fashion show.

Marrow- A dark, flat murky purple color

Victoriana- A textured vintage blue shade that twinkles

The Fall 2010 Nail Polish Collection is available at ButterLondon.com retailed at $14 each.

William Rast Teams Up With Target

in news

Looks like William Rast is next in line to partner with Target. William Rast is a clothing line founded by Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala. They are launching a men’s and women’s collection exclusively sold at Target stores and Target.com which will feature premium denim, sportswear, and outerwear. I’m so excited to hear another great clothing line teaming up with Target. I’m a big fan of William Rast denim jeans so I can’t wait.

The line is slated to launch December 19, 2010 too January 22, 2011.

Are you excited?
