A Boon To At-Home Brow Maintenance
I swear by my brow groomer. Jimena and I have been together for almost three years now and I won’t let anyone else tend to my arches—except, of course, myself, when intense workloads and social obligations conflict with my ability to get to Robin Evans Skincare every three weeks. While I’m fairly confident in my [...]
A Post-Couture Week Recharge At The Dior Institute
I was recently in Paris for a four-day jaunt and did my best to make the most of the trip. Foie gras and fine cheeses were consumed. Euros were spent in the Marais. And I almost witnessed a Jarvis Cocker show at Bataclan, but apparently headliners go on a bit earlier in the City [...]
Drugstore Discovery Of The Week
We’ve done our part to add to the statement lip discourse currently going on in the beauty world by making an effort to keep you abreast of the shades and products that will help you perfect your pout as vivid color continues to make a comeback. But we’re aware that more often than not, we [...]
Lips And Tips Continue To Reign Over The Runway
The backstage duo of Pat McGrath and Orlando Pita always provides us with plenty of “wow” opportunities when fashion week rolls around (need we remind you of the former’s cupid’s-bow lips and the latter’s Louise Brooks-inspired bangs and bobs with bobby pin embellishments from the Dior RTW show in March?). Both artists seem to possess [...]
Marion Cotillard Goes Grunge At Dior
Couture week is upon us, and with all the pomp and circumstance on the runway and backstage comes an equally impressive front row. And so, for your viewing pleasure, Marion Cotillard doing her duty as a Dior spokeswoman, in a very fetching berry/brick red lip. (How very nineties!) Thoughts on the color choice?

J’Adore Dior, Take Two
In honor of today’s weather, which might just mark the conclusion of the never-ending winter of ‘08, we’re feeling a particular affinity for the new J’Adore l’Eau. A summer interpretation of the original Dior scent—which we will admit to never really liking quite as much as those J’Adore Dior T-shirts that came out around the [...]
Over The Moon For Manicures At Dior
Like every other graphic novel connoisseur/action movie buff, we trekked to the theater this weekend for the premiere of Watchmen. Despite a few sick-awesome fight sequences and one sex scene that laughed in the face of nuance, the almost three-hour feature suffered from occasional lapses into comic book movie drudgery, at which point not even [...]
It’s Business As Usual For Dita At Dior
Is it us, or are you also slightly over Dita Von Teese and her self-appointed title as the new bearer of burlesque? There she was, sitting front row at Dior Couture with her signature alabaster skin, darkened brow, lined lids, and crimson lip, and all we could think was, doesn’t the whole thing ever get, [...]
Lady Dior, Pocket-Sized
If you covet the vintage cannage quilting on the Lady Dior handbag Marion Cotillard holds in the French company’s new ad campaign but can’t rationalize shelling out the $1,800 to look and feel utterly Parisian, there is another way. The pièce de résistance of Dior’s spring makeup collection is a miniaturized compact crafted in the [...]
The Perfect Eye Primer, Happened Upon
Contrary to popular belief, beauty editors rarely wear a lot of makeup. Sure, there are exceptions to this rule, but for the most part, we are a minimalistic breed that can pull out all the flawless foundation and perfectly pinched-cheek stops if and when we need to, but prefer to keep it low-key on a [...]
