Eugenia Kim Eden Feathered Headband

We’ve previously spoken with slight nerdy enthusiasm about our love for the Eugenia Kim Eden Feathered Headband. Now is the time to get your hands on it – it is on sale at Lock & Mane for $29.99.

As much as I like the Fuschia option, I think the oatmeal one is fantastic for the universally flattering color – looks great on blondes, looks great on brunettes, and just enough orchre to set off red hair!

Product Review: Make-Up-Matte

Style Chicks — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 05:05:18 +0000

Makeup can be messy sometimes. Powder makeup is a big offender in this regard, especially Mineral Makeup. There’s something a little weird about a range of products that you are supposed to shake the majority of the product off the brush, right? Of course, that never stops us from shaking off the product onto our vanity tables, other products, makeup mirrors, and clothes, does it?

The good folks at Make-Up-Matte came up with a handy way to deal with the mess. The Make Up Matte is a handy, easily totable cloth mat to pick up all of that errant makeup and keep it from getting on your vanity or clothes. It does an impressive job of keeping your beauty counter clean, and then can be thrown in the wash when it needs it! Plus, the patterns offered are adorable! I was sent a sample in Garden Rose, and I’ve been using it all the time.

In addition to minding mineral makeup, it does a great job guarding fabrics and surfaces when using airbrush makeup, in addition to muffling the sound of the air compressor a bit. But my absolute favorite use for it is at the gym. My gym has the cleanest women’s locker room you have or every will see. But still – it’s a locker room, and I don’t want my makeup touching any surfaces or falling on the ground. The Make Up Matte does a great job of keeping my makeup safe from germs/bacteria/etc on surfaces, then I just wash it when I get home!

Saks Sunday: Keep your Clinique Pencils in Top Shape

Style Chicks — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 04:01:21 +0000

We get so many inquiries from readers about Clinique items, with good reason: Clinique is a fantastic brand. You will always find Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion in my beauty stash!

And as you are probably aware if you are a makeup maven, one pencil sharpener does not fit all. Each brand designs their sharpener to work with the size and consistency of their pencils. Trying to use a sharpener from another brand might damage your beloved lip or eye pencil.

Fortunately Clinique has a very reasonably priced sharpener at SaksFifthAvenue.com – it’s only $1. So if you are picking up a new Clinique lip or eye pencil, throw a sharpener into your order – sharpeners do get dull over time, so it’s good to have a new one around. It’s also good to have separate sharpeners for lip and eye pencils for hygiene reasons.

Find the Clinique Lip & Eye Pencil Sharpener at SaksFifthAveneue.com for $1.

Bridal Hair Accessories: Show off your Bridal Glow with a Pretty Hair Clip

Style Chicks — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 19:11:57 +0000

Remember a few years ago when it was all the rage to use a gorgeous brooch as a hair clip? I loved it, but there was a few problems – first, it was hard to grab enough hair in a standard pin clasp to really hold it in place – the brooches kept flopping all over the place. Second, if my hair was conditioned as much as it should be, the pin tended to slip down on the silky strands. Third, using a pointy pin next to my head seemed rather dangerous (I ended up pricking my head with a pin more than once….ouch!).

Ban.do 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin

I’m guessing the good folks at Ban.do had these concerns in mind when they designed the fabulous Ban.do 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin. They copied it from a stunning brooch they found at an estate sale and instead of a pin, they attached it to a bobby pin. So it will stay in place, hold enough hair to create a style, not poke you in the head with a pin, and add a chic sparkle to your bridal look.

If you are a bride who is considering a Veronica Lake style for your big day (and if you need ideas, check out January Jones in Marie Claire UK), you may want to give some thought to the 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin. It’s perfect for holding hair back on one side so everyone can see your pretty face as you say I Do!

Find the Ban.do 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin at Lock & Mane for $130.

Bridal Hair Accessories: The Modern Tiara

Style Chicks — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 04:01:35 +0000

Personally, I think tiaras should be part of everyday dress. Wouldn’t making a sandwich just be all the more special if you were wearing a jeweled tiara?

Carolina Rodriguez Reina Jeweled Headband

But if you are insistent that tiaras should be reserved for royalty and brides, then this Carolina Rodriguez Reina Jeweled Headband is a fresh take on the bridal tiara. The headband will hold your hair in place and pull light towards your face. Try it with an updo for an extra wow factor.

Find this great piece at Lock & Mane (where I know they have “Champagne Thursdays”, so can “Tiara Tuesdays” be far behind????)
