Requests
from my editors and prompts from readers
made it clear that you’d like to read about
fashion and beauty. Since the two compliment
each other, I dug up the latest, greatest,
best-selling and most lust-worthy beauty
items you didn’t know you can’t live without.
Classic glamour is the palette for fall
beauty. This includes dramatic lips, popping
lashes and a simple, fresh face. Red is
the it color for lips. If you’ve never gone
red— now has never been a better time to
try.
My first stop was MAC, where makeup artist
Katherine Tassio introduced me to the newest
“Lux Delux” collection. The treasure from
this collection is the new “Lac Lusture”
lip-gloss for $16, it goes on glossy then
transforms to a matte finish. Tassio credits
that it’s comfortable and long-lasting.
She suggests “Old Flame,” a deep ruby red.
At Chanel, the “Glossimer” lip collection
for $24 provides a very wet-looking shiny
gloss. This collection isn’t new, but it
carries different intensities of reds. For
dark red, try “Jelly.” “Pulsar” gives a
true red and “Spark” is a clear red, best
used when layered over another color.
To make the sexiest lashes, I swear by Origins
“Underwear for Lashes” for $12. With this
lash builder applied under mascara, lashes
instantly look longer. Mascaras to try includes
Origins “Fringe Benefits” for $12, and Lancôme
“Definicils” high definition mascara for
$20.
At the most superlative beauty boutique
ever, aka Sephora, I received insider information
on their best-sellers and must haves. Aide
Rocha with Sephora said a best-seller is
the Shu Uemura eyelash curler for $15. With
a silicone base, the curler is soft and
safe for lashes, leaving behind a natural
curl.
Domingo De Montejo with Sephora, showed
me the best of the best in skin care. To
get a fresh face, you have to start with
the skin first. The most fabulous mask is
“Sugar Face Polish” by Fresh for $55. The
sugar exfoliates while the acids in the
mask work to eliminate dead skin cells.
He also raved about Caudalie. Based in Paris,
Caudalie uses the byproducts from wine production
and turns it into the best skin food ever.
Products range from soap to anti-aging creams.
Lastly, don’t forget about perfume! Rocha
reports that Sephora’s hottest seller is
“Glow” by J Lo. My pick is “Chance” by Chanel.
Check them out and have fun finding your
fall face.
