I always love a product that has multiple uses. That is why my latest makeup indulgence is Chantecaille Aqua Blush in Brilliance. I bought it to use as a shimmery rose gold eyeshadow only to find that I love how it looks on my cheekbones over a deeper blush. It falls on the pricier side, but since you can use it as a blush, highlighter and eyeshadow, it is worth the cost for the effect it gives.
For photos of the look…

Feeling the first chill of fall in New York (not to mention raindrops). This dreary weather reminds me of a photograph I took in Paris a few years ago. Now is the time to pull out your fall coat, cozy up with a latte, and embark on that new book you were never able to start during the summer.

I am in the midst of decorating my bedroom and have been in search of the perfect tray to hold perfumes and makeup on my dresser. Although I have yet to find the tray, I did come across these photographs of vanities that are so feminine and lovely. It has inspired me to transform my new desk into a place for coiffing and primping.

Here is Alexa Chung channeling a 60′s vibe. A bit obsessed with the emphasis on the lower lashes and pink lips paired with an orange frock. Try two coats of a bottom lash mascara, concentrating on the tips of the lashes to thicken.

I am going to a wedding this Labor Day weekend and wanted to try a taupe based smoky eye for the pre fall festivity. I love this look because it works with many skin tones and eye colors and can be as neutral or intense as you want it to be.
