There’s nothing like a rich fragrance for this time of year. There’s something about that fits the cold weather and really makes it stand out. Like a wool pair of socks, KENZOAmour le Parfum ($68/1oz, $88/1.7oz @ kenzousa.com) will come out in late October and be packed away with the winter clothes in about late February. It was inspired by all things far east - the packaging and the ingredients. To say this is a woody oriental would be an understatement. Just look at these thick lush notes – top: rice, frangipani middle: amber and patchouli and base: vanilla and benzoin (a balm only found in a tree location in Southeast Asia). And I would really only recommend this for evenings; it’s that bold. And the sleek bottle? The shape is inspired by the temples of Southeast Asia and the rich matte gold color by the offerings made to the deities. This makes a beautiful looking scupture on top of your dressing table. For serious fragrance lovers only!

What a blast of wow BENEFIT’s new CORALista ($28 @ benefitcosmetics.com) is for me. This is their latest face color addtion and this one is described as a coral pink sheen. If you are looking for a color to update your look to get you into the Spring, this is the one.

What more can be said about BOBBI BROWN’s new Brights Eye Palette ($70 @ nordstrom.com)? Just looking at it says it all! It’s 35 bright matte eye shadows that she typically uses when she’s called on for Fashion Week. When I first saw this one online, I thought is was big, like a 8.5” x 11” piece of paper but when I got it, I saw that it’s actually 6.3” x 4.25” and each shadow is about .5" around. And that’s ok. Easier storage! And the colors range from light peach all the way to dark purple. Happy sculpting!

CLINIQUE’s new Turnaround Instant Facial Masque ($36.50/2.5oz @ nordstrom.com) is meant to give you the results of a microdermabrasion’s smoothness and radiance in all of 5 minutes. Hmmmm, seems like a pretty steep promise but I guess if you can get the formula right, it is possible, and I am happy to report that it is. What I like about this scrub is that because the morsels are so tiny, it feels like I am able to get into every nook and cranny around my face. Nose? No problem! Behind the ears? Easy with this one. And I am able to give my eyebrows a good scrub, which I love to do. Here’s the skinny – it’s formulated with patent-pending technology and uses physical and chemical exfoliation. Some of the ingredients are: Chestnut Extract and Salicylic Acid and others. This 5-minute mask can be used up to 3 times a week, depending on your skin type. Loves it!
I have the Turnaround Radiance Peel Once-A-Week System on deck to try and will let you know if it’s worth it.

The MAC collections are coming at us fast and furious with the new Hello Kitty items just coming out. We have not gotten our hands on them just yet but here’s some picks from what we have tried and I took the pics myself. Hope they look ok!
Hit the slopes looking fresh with any of these from the Chill Collection. Picks are Glitter ($17.50) in Reflects Transparent Teal, Eye Shadow ($14.50) in Mont Black and Apres-ski, and Tinted Lip Glass in Frozen Dream.
Who doesn’t want makeup that matches their hair color beautifully? Here’s our picks from the Brunette Blonde Redhead collection: Eye Shadow ($14.50) in Pincurl (a dusty white frost best for blondes) and Flip (a bronze gold frost for redheads). Lipstick ($14) in B-Babe (pink frost perfect for blondes) and Tinted Lipglass ($14) in Soft Wave (a beautiful tan bronze for brunettes).
Take one look at Dame Edna Everage and what do you see? Well I see color and more color! And to celebrate all this Aussie is, they are putting out a limited edition collection, the Dame Edna collection. Here are our picks:
Nail Lacquer ($11) in Asiatique and Lipstick ($14) in Coral Polyp. Don’t these two just scream Dame Edna?
