EcoTools brushes are green beauty tools fashioned with bamboo handles, recycled aluminum, and animal-free taklon bristles. Earth-friendly is very nice, but so are girls whose mothers recommend them for dates. So I’m more curious how face-friendly this EcoTools brow kit is…
|
 |
EcoTools mailed me an EcoTools blush brush and an EcoTools foundation brush to try. If I wasn’t obsessed with my Shu Uemura brushes, I’d use this EcoTools powder brush on the daily — it’s probably 80% as good as the best in the business, at 10% of the price… |
 |
So why am I hating this EcoTools blush brush? Because it’s also close to as good as my Shu Uemura brush, though EcoTools blush brush only costs a matcha green tea soy latte… |

This Shiseido foundation — or “Makeup Brightening Veil” — is a colorless finish foundation with SPF 24. Check this Shiseido foundation’s reviews — apparently the only thing this Shiseido finishing foundation doesn’t do is make you thinner and richer… |
 |
Shiseido powdery foundation compact isn’t the best — La Prairie powder feels like cream, Guerlain is gorgeous — but “Very Light Ivory” is invisible on me. And if I use it as a base on my lids, a smoky eye lasts past pillow play. My rule of thumb? Try out foundations until you find one that looks natural when you’re naked… |
 |
Shiseido foundation in cream is probably lovely, but creamy makeup has always equaled creases for me. Do you ladies have the same issue… |

Until recently, the only jewelry I owned was a medical alert bracelet and a custom “K” initial necklace. But I adore McCaul Goldsmiths earrings — he hits that balance of interesting, without sacrificing elegance. If you missed Mother’s Day, gift her these and mom will forget that you forgot, too… |
 |
I love these McCaul Goldsmiths earrings — they’re simple swirls of gold, tipped with tiny diamonds. Jewelry as choice as this is best worn naked, padding around your pad… |
 |
McCaul Goldsmiths earrings are so good that his least gorgeous design would be another designer’s best success… |

Private sales site Gilt.com is blowing out Alejandro Ingelmo shoes today. Maybe I’ve caught sales fever, but I love these black Alejandro Ingelmo shoes on sale. A stilettoed maryjane always vibes buttoned-up sex… |
 |
These nude Alejandro Ingelmo shoes on sale beat any basic black pump: nude flows with everything, snakeskin’s always choice, and skin-tone platform pumps stretch your legs long… |
 |
I know these Alejandro Ingelmo shoes are on sale. But a peep-toe, platform, patent leather, sling-back shoe boot is best left to the retarded sisters of Rihanna… |

Oscar de la Renta shoes are on sale — think half-off — at members-only shopping site HauteLook.com. Normally jeweled shoes vibe too Beyonce, but you’ve got to see this Oscar de la Renta shoe’s cone-shaped heel… |
 |
I’ll be wearing these Oscar de la Renta shoes on sale, soon, anyway. A luxe snakeskin over peep-show, platform peeptoes is choice… |
 |
If these Oscar de la Renta shoes weren’t on sale, would you have the hots for them? They’re too cute. Too cute, like a puppy hugging Bambi as Audrey Tautou dressed as a Japanese school girl stands near by and flashes peace… |

Perfective Ceuticals stimulates collagen growth to give you good face. When I want to stimulate collagen, it usually involves a 90210 needle. But I’m curious about Perfective Ceuticals eye cream, espesh after these testimonials… |

I stashed away Beverly Hills medispa Epione skincare, to try Perfective Ceuticals face serum in the a.m. (what do I wear to bed? Retin A cream and a sleepy smile). Slick and clear, a few dots of the Perfective Ceuticals serum makes your skin glow… |

AmazingCosmetics is just that: amazing cosmetics. There’s not much sexy marketing or packaging — just simple product that gives good face. On my To Try list? AmazingCosmetics mineral foundation pressed powder and powder set. I love that the AmazingCosmetics compact carries a mini brush — so you dust on a dewy complexion… |

I discovered AmazingCosmetics at a local beauty store, when I had to touch up before lunch date (I never carry makeup with me). AmazingCosmetics concealer gives thick coverage, while its liquid form is easy to tap into place. I tossed away my Make Up For Ever concealor… |

La Perla makes Hepburn hip, men’s style silk PJs for $278. With overnight shipping at Neiman’s, these’ll arrive in time for MILF’s Mom’s Day. Gift yourself a pair, too, for being such lovely spawn… |

I’m obsessed with Maggie Ward silk sweatpants. I sport them with a silk racerback tank and Givenchy platform peeptoes, but the silk sweatpants feel lusher worn just padding around my pad. More iconic than ironic, your mom will feel comfy in them, too. Grab a pair at Intermix… |
 |
Men’s style silk pajamas in red satin are too Marilyn Monroe for me. But more than that, this is the same La Perla silk PJ that’s more classic in black — just double the price… |

Haute.Net is LinkedIn for fashion — Haute.Net connects you with fabulous people and fabulous gigs. Such as? This fashion job in Shanghai. It’ll be tough for me to get used to putting on more than heels, undies, and a full face of makeup for work. However, I am looking forward to learning Mandarin, censorship, and being a good citizen… |
