Despite the fact that I have a lot of coats, I can never find one that’s right for this time of year when one day you don’t need a coat at all, other days you need a lightweight wool coat, and a trench is fine on other days. The J. Crew Citronella Coat fits the bill on days that layering is key. With it’s 60′s appeal and Peter Pan colar, it is sharp on it’s own and compliments a lot of other J. Crew clothes – try it with a polo or even last year’s Striped Pique Polo dress.
From now until April 30th, you can get free shipping on any order of $25 or more with code B388C2.
This would be a great time to get the Fekkai Salon Glaze.

Metal eyelash separators freak me out. And the few times I’ve used one, they never actually got rid of all the clumps anyways. And no matter how non-clumping a mascara formula is, lashes still get stuck together after I apply mascara.
And then the SpinLash was invented.
This amazing device gently removes every clump from your lashes, leaving your fringe perfectly defined – and frankly, better than your lashes look on their own. Take a look at your non-mascara’d lashes – they grow in clumps – some grow straight out, some grow kind of diagonally, and some grow straight down. Is it any wonder your standard wand can’t distribute mascara evenly?
Spinlash works via a battery operated lash brush that slowly spins as you work it through your lashes after you have applied mascara – use the same motion as how you apply mascara – just work it from root to the tip of your lashes. It works in two directions, so you can use it on both top and bottom lashes, and it fits comfortably in either your left or right hand. As you brush it through your lashes, it pulls out all the clumps, as well as distributes extra mascara on the tips of your lashes, giving your lashes definite presence and extra length. Your lashes will look magazine ad perfect in seconds!
I was truly astonished at how easy Spinlash is to use – it takes virtually no time to brush through your lashes, and considering I don’t have to manually separate lashes that get stuck together, it saves a lot of time (and eyelid cleanup) in the morning. And I find that I look forward to using it – it’s kind of fun to watch the clumps disappear!
While you can apply your favorite mascara with no problem before you use SpinLash, they also include a complimentary mascara – you can choose from black or brownish black. It’s a great mascara – black is a rich, lush black that doesn’t smudge at all and can stand on its own as a great product. My lashes looked incredibly thick and long, even though they were looking pretty wimpy before I applied the product (remember a few weeks ago saying that I was at the long part of my lash growth cycle and I’d be complaining soon that my lashes were short? My lashes are short now. Good thing Spinlash came along…)
You can order Spinlash for $14.95 from the geniuses at Spinlash.com or check their retailer page at http://www.spinlash.com/locator.html. And never worry about clumps again!
I was flipping through Shape magazine and came across a piece of information that made me very happy – there may be a cure for rosacea. A study was recently published that identified the probable cause of rosacea (it was previously impossible to cure due to not knowing the cause) as the B. oleronius bacteria. This is good news, since a bacteria can be treated with antibiotics like tetracycline or minocycline, thus destroying the bacteria.
If you have rosacea, make an appointment with a dermatologist to ask if it would work for you – only certain types of antibiotics get rid of this particular bacteria, so if you have had antibiotic courses with some success (but no cure) in the past, you may want to give this a try.

And the shoes…oh the shoes! Also note her beautiful delicate pink lipstick – I’ve been trying to track down what shade that is. Not the shade on the DVD cover – she wears a color that is kind of a petal base with a light, cool raspberry gloss during the movie that’s gorgeous.
A shoe like Enzo Angiolini Women’s Zizzi Ankle Strap Sandal deserves a rich, intense lip color. Consider this combo:
Start with a layer of Liptini Lip Liqueur Lip & Cheek Stain in Berry Cherry and let it dry. Then add a layer of Liptini Lip Liqueur Lip & Cheek Stain Kirsch and then add a layer of Liptini Cordial Shimmering Lip & Cheek Tint Cerise. (Total application and drying time: 1 minute 24 seconds – and that’s including clutziness and cleanup time on my part) If you want a moist look, add whatever lip gloss you like – check out Liptini “Toppers” for different effects, or use whatever if your gloss of choice. In the picture I used TRUE Cosmetics Sheer Lip Shine in Aglow to add some shine and shimmer.

Take a look at Veronica over here (from Archie Comics) – look at where the light bounces off her hair a little above the temple. That’s a sign of youth – seems like a small thing, but adding shine to your hair can make you look far younger. And if, like me, you’ve tried all sorts of shine serums trying to get your hair to have shine and luminosity, you probably have also been disappointed by many – you may get shine, but you also get greasy hair – it’s just too easy to use too much shine serum.
Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about that any longer thanks to the wonderful people at Frederic Fekkai. I was excited when I heard about Frederic Fekkai Salon Glaze, but it absolutely blew me away when I tried it.
As I mentioned before, Fekkai Salon Glaze has good stuff in it – Silicones, Pearl proteins to make your hair luminous, and grape seed extract, sweet almond protein, and B-5 vitamins to get your hair in great condition fast.
But just how fast was what astonished me – after my first use (apply it to your hair for three to five minutes after you wash your hair and then rinse out), my hair had an amazing shine to it, and no residue! By use #3, my hair reflected light like a mirror – I was amazed.
I really like that Salon Glaze is non-chemical, but achieves the same results as getting your hair professionally glazed – and far more convenient. After washing and conditioning your hair, squeeze (gently!) the excess water out of your hair, and then apply enough to cover your hair all the way from the scalp to the ends. You don’t need a ton of it – apply it to one section first and you’ll get the hang of how much you need – it pretty much absorbs in immediately. If you don’t like conditioning too close to your scalp for fear of buildup – don’t worry, this washes out clean. Wait three to five minutes, and rinse out. Style whatever way you like, and enjoy the super shine! If you color your hair, this is a great way to keep your color looking fresh from the salon far longer.
Like I said before, each time you use it your hair gets shinier – I didn’t get the mirror-like shine until the third use, but I would have been thrilled if any product had given me the shine I got from the first use as well. It doesn’t look like you have more product it – your hair simply looks massively more healthy and super shiny.
I found that using Fekkai Salon Glaze in conjunction with Fekkai All-Day Hair Plump left my hair in out of this world condition and silkier than I’ve ever seen it – they work really well together.
