If your hair gets as oily as ours does
I’ve tried wearing bangs on two separate occasions, both attempts failing miserably because my hair tends to get insanely oily just two days after a blowout. So the oil renders my bangs greasy pieces, rather than full-bodied forehead fringe. Hardly cute.

Why we’re not completely sold on satin
We called the ladies over at Chanel and attempted to call in a bottle of their new Blue Satin nail polish only to find out that the rumors were true: the PR department was all out and the lacquer is already on backorder in most stores.
While the color looked cool within the context of Karl [...]

PALETTE: Fun with Fafinettes
Fafi, our favorite Parisian street artist, has decorated M.A.C. lipstick tubes, carrying cases, compacts and other items with her too-cool-for-school animated characters. The limited edition makeup colors are very 80s bright (think hot pink for lips), which could be kind of fun for spring.

PALETTE: A skin trick: More men’s items that work for women
We found out the most amazing little factoid while having an Eve Lom facial at the SoHo location of Space NK: the best skin saver might be your boyfriend’s shaving products. Our facialist told us about how many of her clients complain about hyperpigmentation and small acne breakouts in the cheek area only to find [...]

PALETTE: Skin
I’ve grown a little tired of coating my lips in alternating shades of clear, pink and beige gloss. And as the humid summer approaches, the thought of sticky lacquer weighing down my pout grows more and more unappealing. This clean, matte alternative pictured on a model backstage during New York fashion week looks much more [...]

PALETTE: Hair
At the risk of sounding like a bad commercial, ever since I stopped using Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask in favor of a pricier, more high-end brand, my hair stylist has been leaving me under the dryer for extra long conditioning sessions every weekend. “El pelo es seco,” she chastises as she rinses.

PALETTE: Skin
I’m dying because my absolute favorite fragrance, Comptoir Sud Pacifique, is now being offered in a cute travel size. Now, when I feel like adding a hint of brown sugar, coconut milk, hibiscus and Tahitian vanilla behind my wrists or ears, all I have to do is reach in my handbag–as if I need to [...]

INSPIRATION: The Palette
While the rest of the fashion world is powdering their faces pale in an attempt to reinterpret the geisha girl beauty trend, we’d rather experiment with dark bronzers the way that Lauryn Hill does here.
