Rain Cosmetics K Is…

Wanting.

Rain Cosmetics sent me their mineral makeup try. I’ve never got the hype of mineral makeup, and whether or not it’s good for you — either makeup turns you from an eight to a 10, or it doesn’t. Still, I’m curious about Rain Cosmetics mascara: I’m a sucker for beauty copy written in pop-sciencese, and their website says “microchambers” will extend your lashes…

Rain Cosmetics Dual Mineral Foundation Rain Cosmetics K Is...

Using.

Though it’s not a trustafarian mimbo, Rain Cosmetics powder foundation is loved by Paris H. I tried the “Touch of Ivory”-colored compact, and Rain Cosmetics mineral powder foundation is lovely: you can use it wet or dry, and its smooth coverage is comparable to NARS…

Rain Cosmetics Lip Therapy Rain Cosmetics K Is...

Hating.

Rain Cosmetics all-natural lip conditioner is actually quality. But as cute as the rain drop container is — and that Rain Cosmetics creator’s name is Rain — I hate using my finger to smudge on lip gloss. The goo always gets under nails, and I’m too lazy for a lip brush…

Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona Rolexes K Is…

Wanting.

The Dow Jones is a roller coaster, the dollar’s deep in debt, so stash your cash in diamonds and Rolexes. Rolexes retain their value, close to better than real estate. So I’m eying this Paul Newman Daytona. Liquidity aside, I just adore that black dial…

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Paul Newman Dial2 Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona Rolexes K Is...

Wearing.

Hit up Howard Frum in Chicago if you want a great deal on a used Rolex watch. He’s got another Paul Newman Daytona like this; it’s that thin red band on the dial that makes this watch especially choice…

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Paul Newman Dial3 Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona Rolexes K Is...

Hating.

A handsome watch, sure. Gold just doesn’t do well on my SPF 150-soaked skin. It’d probably look decent with nothing else on, though…

Bionda Castana Shoes K Is…

Wanting.

Lately I love a classic, clean stiletto. Play with platforms, cavort in kitten heels, try a quirky Cuban — nothing is more flattering than a four-inch stiletto, and luxury line Bionda Castana seemingly gets it. Orange satin is especially choice…

Bionda Castana Mimi Bionda Castana Shoes K Is...

Wearing.

I’ve been looking for a new nude heel, and this Bionda Castana pump’s fun. I love how the flesh toe of the shoe makes your toes disappear, and the emphasis is on that black, stab-you stiletto…

Bionda Castana Amber Bionda Castana Shoes K Is...

Hating.

As well crafted as these Bionda booties probably are, leave the graffiti mess to that chick who styles like Rihanna’s retarded sister…

Fragrance Spheres K Is…

Wanting.

I spritz some L’Artisan Parfumeur into the air and walk into it right after showering, at the start of every day (mhmm, sometimes as early as 10 a.m.). Most flowery fragrance is a light, girly giggle; L’Artisan Parfumeur is a low, powerful purr. I wonder if L’Artisan Parfumeur’s frangrance sphere make your space vibe the same…

Fragrance Sphere Tonka Bean Fragrance Spheres K Is...

Using.

Chesapeake Bay Candle sent me their latest fragrance sphere, a minimalist ceramic globe that flavors your air with cedar, sandalwood, and fig. I tucked it into the the corner of my powder room — the scent is subtle, and the fragrance sphere is less obvious than a spindly reed diffuser…

Black Halo Mini Dresses K Is…

Wanting.

The second, skimpier version of Black Halo’s “Jackie O” dress. Apparently people love this Black Halo mini dress as much as their original “Jackie O” dress — it’s sold out in everything but size eight…

Black Halo Michelle Black Halo Mini Dresses K Is...

Wearing.

Typically I only sport solids — patterned and multi-colored clothing is too memorable. But this color combo screams spring, and the blouse of the Black Halo dress blossoms out of a skinnier, mini skirt…

Senna Brows K Is…

Wanting.

I’m almost out of Senna brow gel. Mix a pinch of black eyeshadow into this brow gel, and you’ve got great brows, fast (it’s always better to use gray to shade your brows; when you try to match a brow pencil or powder to your hair, it looks obvious)…

Senna eyebrow shaping Senna Brows K Is...

Using.

I finally had my brows groomed by Senna. Every chick at Senna’s got gorgeous, Liz Taylor-like brows: a dramatic arch that’s naturally full. Zoe in Beverly Hills actually thinned my brows out, and after I adjusted, I saw how she made my peepers pop…

Hating.

Senna DIY brow kit is great in theory, but I tried it once, and one size does not fit all. Unrelatedly, that last part of the sentence applies to many aspects of life…

Jimmy Choo Nude Shoes K Is…

Wanting.

Nude shoes swing in and out of vogue, but I always adore them. A nude heel is more must-have than a basic black pump: nude shoes match everything, and they’re pure sex. Since a nude shoe melts your leg and arched foot into one long line, nudes like these Jimmy Choos’ll give you stems like Jessica Rabbit…

Jimmy Choo Idea Jimmy Choo Nude Shoes K Is...

Wearing.

A nude patent leather peep toe is best. You get some gloss for texture, but still that lovely long line of leg…

Jimmy Choo Quote Jimmy Choo Nude Shoes K Is...

Hating.

Even the gorgeous nude leather of these Jimmy Choos couldn’t save that midget heel. Unless you just broke your foot, four-inch heels are the shortest you should wear…
