I took this photo (click to enlarge) while I was at Anthropologie today:
Antrhopologie is selling chick lit classics with cute book covers. Titles include Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Sense & Sensibility, and Little Women.
And the risers? They are book discards that have been painted over!
TILTH Beauty is a skin care collection from Anthony Vargas, formerly VP for R&D for Elizabeth Arden, where he was instrumental in developing the Prevage™ and Ceramide™ skin care lines, so you know that he has serious cred 🙂
TILTH Beauty has opened an online store on OpenSky. It is seeking 500 followers on OpenSky, and to give you incentive to follow TILTH Beauty, it is hosting a giveaway for a TILTH Beauty skin care collection!
To enter the giveaway:
That’s it!
Which TILTH Beauty product interests you most? All of them appeal to me, but I’m particularly curious about the Refresh Peptide Mist.
Which beauty sites do you follow on a regular basis? Here are 6 of mine:
1. Sparkled Beauty, http://sparkledbeauty.blogspot.com/
“Halifax” is a beauty blogger based in Canada – Nova Scotia, of course! Highlights of her blog include NOTD, weekly flyer deals, and her effort to create a comprehensive list of Canadian beauty brands (I volunteered a few names). She adds a light-hearted personal touch with news about Halifax city and her 10-year-old daughter “Squirt.”
2. British Beauty Blogger, http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/
British Beauty Blogger posts several times a day; I subscribe to the daily digest. She presents sneak peeks of the latest launches. I follow her for updates on UK beauty brands, including Seventeen, or 17, from Boots and B. from Superdrug.
3. We ♥ Sundays from the Urban Retreat Boutique, http://www.urbanretreat.co.uk/beautique/learn/We_Love_Sundays.aspx
The Urban Retreat Beautique is a UK-based online beauty retailer that specializes in luxury beauty brands. Every Sunday, I look forward to its We ♥ Sundays feature that presents interviews with movers and shakers in the beauty industry. Fun questions that We ♥ Sundays asks include:
I enjoy reading the responses, which provide insight about the interviewee.
What are the 3 other beauty sites that I follow on a regular basis? Go past the jump to find out:
EVOLUTIONMAN is a skin care and cosmetics collection founded by celebrity stylist Marco Berardini. It’s geared to men, as you might surmise from the name, but we ladies might find some products that we’d like. Recently, EVOLUTIONMAN sent me its Moisture Protect SPF 20 Bronze bronzing fluid and its Conceal & Treat concealer stick to try.
Bronzing fluid is great. It really warms up the complexion. This product would also flatter folks with deeper complexions than mine. You can use it to tone down redness or you can adjust your foundation shade by adding a touch of bronzing fluid – good to know for summer.
My complaint about EVOLUTIONMAN ‘s Moisture Protect SPF 20 Bronze bronzing fluid is that it’s runny. I lose a lot of product. It’s imperative that you shake the tube really well to mix the product. A more gel-like consistency would be better, or else EVOLUTIONMAN might consider a pump bottle. While Moisture Protect Bronze bronzing fluid is rated SPF 20, a thin layer will not provide adequate sun protection. Layer it over sunscreen.
I like EVOLUTIONMAN’s Conceal & Treat concealer stick. It blends easily with the skin. It’s drier than the Cover Girl + Olay’s concealer balm. I received Conceal & Treat concealer sticks in Light and Medium. Medium is too deep for my complexion. If you’d like to try it, please fire off an email to me at thestylepage [dot] com. I’d appreciate your review and comments for this blog.

Oh, and did I mention that EVOLUTIONMAN also has a nail collection?? Another reason to take advantage of this offer!
I bought cosmetics bags as impulse purchases. They’re in the closet, in one of those hanging purse organizers. I don’t use them. Some people say that cosmetics bags can double as evening bags, but none of mine qualify for evening wear. When I travel, I just toss my cosmetics into a Lug train case with clear windows and smoosh it into my suitcase.
I found this UPPTÄCKA Toiletries bag at IKEA:
I’m actually using it. I use the UPPTÄCKA Toiletries bag to hold everyday essentials. No more searching around for things when I’m rushing to get out the door in the morning!
Specs (more info than you’ll find on the IKEA web site):
The UPPTÄCKA Toiletries bag is not for sale on the IKEA web site, check to see if it is available in your local store.
Use a can opener to slit open a blister pack:
I wish that I had known about this when I bought the LuMESH three-fer set from Costco! And yes, I’m looking forward to the collaborations between Costco and Pati Dubroff and Jenna Hipp. Despite what Allure says about these collections becoming available this month, Hatch Beauty says that they won’t be available until next month. No word about the blister packs, however! 🙂
The Clarisonic is a covetable item, but many might balk at the price (over $100). Other companies have jumped in to fill the void for less expensive products.
One of the these companies is EpiCare Ltd. Its Spa Sonic® Skin Care System Face and Body Polisher Deluxe Kit consists of a unit and 5 heads. The rundown:
I have not tried the sponge head. The face brush and the body brush have soft bristles and do a fine job of mechanical exfoliation. I use the body brush on my upper arms, chest, and upper back, but it would also be great with a moisturizing wash to exfoliate the legs before shaving. The pumice stone is rough: I prefer Microplane or the Revlon® Pedi-EXPERT™ Pedicure Kit, which is among my favorite hand, foot and nail products. I follow up on the pumice stone with a finishing file and Amlactin lotion on my heels.
While the Clarisonic is rechargeable, the Spa Sonic® uses 4 AA batteries (which come with the kit). This might be a drawback for those who don’t want battery waste.
The Spa Sonic® Skin Care System Face and Body Polisher Deluxe Kit costs $70 on the Spa Sonic® web site; however I found it through (someday we’ll find it) the Costco Connection magazine for $40 (shop costco.com for the Spa Sonic® Skin Care System Face and Body Polisher Deluxe Kit – good through May 31 or while supplies last).
Disclosure: The Spa Sonic® Skin Care System Face and Body Polisher Deluxe Kit was provided to me as a PR sample. Opinions are my own.
Here’s a pretty in pink yet subtle SS13 LE collection from Christopher Drummond Beauty:
The rundown:
I corresponded with Christopher when his only products were his Veludo loose powder foundation and Saúde Pele Radiance Booster, a pale yellow-gold loose shimmer powder. Today, as you can see, he has a complete line of cosmetics. He also appears on ShopNBC. Congratulations, Christoper, on your success!
Here’s a nifty infographic on Breaking down FDA labeling sunscreen requirements, found by Teri of the Beautiful Makeup Search blog:
Actually, the FDA ruling is nearly 2 years old. For more information, visit the Questions and Answers page on the FDA web site.
Last year, I chose a bright shade (REVLON Colorstay Nail Enamel in Marmalade) for my pedicure; this year, I want to go with a neutral shade.
I’m enticed by the HIPPxRGB Nude nail color system from RGB Cosmetics. Nail Stylist Jenna Hipp and RGB Cosmetics Founder Gina Carney created a system of nudes for different complexions. There are three sets of four polishes:
Each nail polish costs $16.00 and may be purchased through the RGB web site.
