It feels like we’ve been waiting an eternity for Baz Luhrmann’s sleek and stylized adaptation of the classic jazz-age tale to hit the screen. And we have! When the film was pushed from a December 2012 to a May 2013 release date, we were given five more months to obsess (continued…)

As if we were not already obsessed with Lancôme — Alber Elbaz, designer and creative director for Lanvin, has given us all the more reason to swoon over the French cosmetics brand. In a marriage of fashion and beauty, the collection is appropriately entitled “Hypnôse Show,” named after the brand’s (continued…)
’ve been an avid fan of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics since they opened their first flagship in NYC in 2011. The one-time secret weapon for makeup artists has now gone mainstream, thanks in large part to Sephora, who started selling a limited array of the brand’s lip tars, loose pigments, and nail (continued…)
We saw shimmering lids and dramatic shades all over the Spring 2013 runways that had us ready to hightail it to the warmer, spring months. Last fall, during the spring 13 rtw shows, Chanel made a dramatic beauty statement with shades of shimmering blue, Marc Jacobs decorated lids with a (continued…)
MAC takes on the greatest blonde versus brunette love triangle in its newest collection called Archie’s Girls. Inspired by the Archie Comics characters Veronica and Betty, the collection will feature a 37 piece grouping of makeup. Within the collection one can find contrasting groups of compact powder, eyeliner, mascara, nail (continued…)
Finally, it’s here: Karl Lagerfeld’s limited-edition beauty collection for Shu Uemura. The highly anticipated line launched this week, and we’re flipping over every single piece. From this amazing Shu Rouge lipstick to this almost-too-adorable eyelash curler, the collection is all about whimsically packaged pieces and bold, iconic colors. We die. (continued…)
I cheated on my favorite lip balm last weekend. I’m not proud of this fact — there’s nothing that soothes my lips better than La Bella Figura’s La Curacio balm — but I accidentally left it at home and was desperate. And the conditions were extreme, at least for me: (continued…)
I’m always taking cues from the fabulous Meets Obsession fashion editors. And one of my favorite looks for fall—the “luxurious prints and opulent embellishments” that Jenny McFarlane recently reported on—is currently hitting my closet in a major way. I’m more of a minimalist girl, so I tend to opt for (continued…)
A gal can never have too many lipsticks. Which is why I’m beyond thrilled that Anthropologie — one of my favorite retail chains for all things boho chic — has launched its very own line of them, called Albeit. There are six shades total, ranging from fiery red to berry (continued…)
Autumn is officially upon us. The leaves are changing, the air has turned crisp and the cool colors of fall are in full effect. Cobalt blue is one of the major players this year—in both fashion and beauty—and it’s such a nice, eye-popping alternative to the season’s more typical burgundy (continued…)
Fashion illustrator René Gruau knew how to combine art and advertising seamlessly. And the drawings he did for Christian Dior—arguably some of his most memorable work—are the kind of timeless, energetic designs that beautifully bring haute couture to life. Which is why Dior’s limited-edition Tailleur Bar palette, embossed with one (continued…)
You know the drill. A movie is announced, and leading up to its release, the movie gets its own nail polish, clothing collection and jewelry line. And by the time the movie actually releases, you’re already a bit weary. Such is the case with the book-not–yet-turned-movie, “Fifty Shades of Grey.” (continued…)
Welcome to August—arguably the hottest, steamiest, un-sexiest month of the summer when it comes to makeup. My most recent hot-as-hell beauty battle involves my newfound love for the dewy look. Since the spring, I’ve been adding liquid illuminator to my foundation—just a few drops give me a healthy-looking hue that (continued…)
I’m a big fan of therapy—all different kinds. One-on-one sessions can work wonders, if you’re fortunate enough to afford it, (Remind me again why it’s easier to get guns in this country than basic mental health care?) and group therapy can be at times intimidating, but ultimately rewarding. There’s also (continued…)
