StyleHaul hooked me up and I was able to see the Dannijo Fall 2013 presentation as well as get the scoop backstage on the beauty look by NARS, Butter London and LUXHAIR. I also interviewed Duro Olowu about his collaboration with JC Penny that is launching in March.
Also check out a fun video featuring CarlyCristman, Cydangie and I (including my OMG moment when I saw Coco Rocha) following us on our mission to cover NYFW after the jump: Continue reading

In case you missed it, I am alive! After a long hiatus I posted my haul from The Makeup Show NYC 2012 over the weekend. It has already been 3 months since the show but better late than never right? Now I can finally start to put away and use the goodies that have been sitting in bags on my bedroom floor for weeks.
I am excited to be back and I have a long queue of videos in my head that I need to get through like an update on what I have been up to, skin care, hair care, favorites, jumping on the empties bandwagon, etc. The only question left is where should I start?
In the meantime, check out my haul above and I’ll see you in a bit.

Thakoon for NARS
From left to right: Lal Mirchi, Anardana, Ratin Jot, Amchoor, Kutki, Koliary
I have been counting down the days and finally the Thakoon for NARS nail polish collection is available at www.narscosmetics.com. The colors, inspired by the Thakoon Spring 2012 collection, are bright summery perfection and I have a feeling that these are going to sell like hot cakes…so get them while they’re hot!
If you ordered any let me know in the comments below and stay tuned for my picks.
Thanks to all of the requests to film a tutorial on the makeup I wore in my Shop MAC, Cook MAC haul video! It is a very simple look and I used a few items from the collection to put it together. If you have any suggestions for similar eye shadows that can be used for when the Call Me Bubbles quad is long gone let us know in the comments below.

MAC’s Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection is a “treat” for lovers of bright colored makeup like myself. I was most excited about the return of their Tendertones since the one I got during their previous launch fell into a sewer one night in NYC. I appreciate having full lips but their dryness is a plague. Tendertones provide a slick layer of gloss to protect them from the elements that is not sticky and smells like candy. Yum! I was surprised that I ended up getting so many other lip products. My picks are the coral Watch Me Simmer and the vibrant pink Quick Sizzle lipsticks. You can’t go wrong with the Kissable Lipcolours either, I love all three colors in my stash and Woo Me has been a staple in my bag for the past few weeks. It is like 2N lipglass sans stickyness and you better believe I bought a backup. The eye shadow quads are nothing to write home about when you have a freakish collection of eye shadows. I ended up getting Call Me Bubbles anyway, which is gorgeous, but I am pretty sure I could come up with similar colors somewhere in my stash (the frosty rust color called Brash was part of the Spice Chocolate quad released a few years ago).
What I hauled (or already had):
Lipstick
Kissable Lipcolour
Cremeblend Blush
Eyeshadow Quad
Tendertone

I can’t get enough of the Shit People Say meme. I listen to my favorites on a loop when I need some life:
Sh*t Fashion Girls Say Part Two
This guy deserves an Oscar for this performance. I could not deal when he spilled the coconut milk. So hilarious! Continue reading
