Over Unreliable “Long Lasting” Lipsticks? These Actually Work!

Zandile BlayAugust 10, 2009 //

Long-term lipstick lovers rejoice! Estee Lauder has added two amazing lip products to its Double Wear Make Up collection: Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lipstick and Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Pencil. Yeah, the names could be shorter, but here’s what matters: These are two products that deliver what they promise — long lasting, super-smooth, conditioning color. How long, you ask? Twelve hours to be exact. The luxury beauty brand has formulated a patented technology that guarantees the color stays on through talking, eating, and the occasional smooching. Never one to take their word for it, we tried out a few sample products for ourselves, and, true to their pledge, the lipstick and pencil combo lasted as long as our day did. The lipstick comes in twelve shades; our faves are Stay Ginger, Stay Ruby and Stay Pinkberry, which are $22 each, and the pencil, $19, is available in 14 shades. Check out Apple Cordial and Plummy, which are perfect for fall. Find ‘em online or at Estee Lauder beauty counters nationwide. [Estee Lauder]

Alcone’s Lip Stamp Promises A Perfect Pout

Annika HarrisJuly 29, 2009 //

I never realized how difficult it is to apply lipstick. I mean, our Simcha applies a perfect pout in ruby red, no less, several times a day. But if you’re someone that needs a little lip(stick) service or really likes beauty gadgets, then Alcone’s Lip Stamp is for you. The kit comes with the stamp tool and five cards with 10 different lip shapes. All you have to do is choose the right lip shape, smear your favorite lipstick on the stamp, and stamp away. I can’t imagine any woman wanting to add another step to her beauty routine, but think of the fun you’d have sealing every phone bill envelope with a kiss. [$24.95, Alcone Company] Keep reading »

Add Some Punch To Your Summer Look With A Bright Lip Color

StylehiveJuly 12, 2009 //

This summer is about the extremes, from the brightest colors to head-to-toe nudes. The same was true with beauty trends. It’s time to say buh-bye to the black lip gloss trend of fall and winter (that never really caught on anyway) and hello to brights! Pastel pinks, hot pinks, light corals and neons are all the rage for lips. Fiery coral was seen at Proenza Schouler and bold pink at Hussein Chalayan. It’s hard to go wrong with these bright shades, as long as you find a shade that works for you. Continue reading… Keep reading »

Style Buzz: Michelle Obama’s New Yorker Cover, PETA Effs Up

Jessica WakemanMarch 10, 2009 //
  • Michelle Obama graces another cover — this time, The New Yorker‘s style issue. The mag pokes fun at the kerfluffle surrounding Michelle’s bare arms with three doodles of Michelle strutting down a runway, arms covered up! [Mrs. O]
  • PETA strikes again! The animal rights group ripped a sleeve on the Balenciaga gown worn by French Vogue editor, Carine Roitfeld, while aiming for her goat fur coat. I don’t condone assaulting people in public, but if you are going to go after someone, ruin the correct couture, at least. [Style.com]
  • Eighties-inspired two tone lipstick, yay or nay? [Refinery29]

You Got Your Angelina Jolie In My Lipstick

Susannah BreslinFebruary 11, 2009 //

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Am I supposed to take this Angelina Jolie lipstick and stick it in my mouth? And Brad Pitt, too? For some reason, these micro-sculpted lipsticks of the heads of the Two Greatest Celebrities of Our Time make me want to bite off their craniums. But maybe that’s just me. Feelunique.com has teamed up with artist Willard Wigan to create these micro-lip-stars, which are being sold on eBay to raise money for breast cancer awareness. It’s an homage to the “most kissable couple” for Valentine’s Day, apparently. Frankly, I don’t know if either one of these busts looks like Brad or Angie. Brad looks more like some depressed businessman debating whether or not to throw himself out the window. Angie looks like she caught a really strong headwind. And God knows what they’d look like after you used them. Or maybe you’re not supposed to use them. Just stick ‘em in the fridge or something. Who knows! It’s for charity. So, I guess, that’s, like, a good thing. So far, the top bid is £205, or $303. [Feelunique.com] Keep reading »

Encased in special lavender rhinestone cover with her iconic glittery glasses, the Kanga-Rouge hot pink lipstick will make your mouth a real spectacle! [$14, MAC Cosmetics]

Sarah Palin’s Lipstick On Your Face

Catherine StrawnSeptember 19, 2008 //

Sarah Palin’s lipstick has been in the spotlight ever since her speech at the Republican National Convention, where she deemed herself a lipstick-wearing hockey mom. While we’re not into the frosty pink shade she covets, we hypothesized a makeup company should market a tube of Pitbull Pink. Alchemy of Colour just released Power Pink, which replicates Palin’s look. Of course, this lipstick won’t work for Obama supporters. The company’s donating $1 from each sale to the McCain-Palin campaign. Who knew buying makeup could be so political? [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

Beauty How To: Vampy Red Lips & Nails

Chelsea KaplanAugust 29, 2008 //

I remember watching “Dynasty” in the ’80s and thinking that Krystle and Alexis Carrington were so fantastically glam. Their glitzy, sequined dresses, shellacked hair, long, red talons and crimson lips were just IT, you know? If I saw those cats on TV today, however, I’d probably mistake them for two campy transvestites and wonder why they weren’t on Bravo. I admit, though, that I’d likely still find their red lips and nails awesome; there’s just something about a red pucker and red digits that screams “Respect me, bitch!” Whenever I try to wear both at the same time, however, I feel that I look like a trashy whore and not a powerful diva, so I asked Ashunta Sheriff, makeup artist for Christian Dior, on how to wear red well. Her beauty breakdown, after the jump… Keep reading »

In The Shades Of Red

SimchaMay 6, 2008 //

“Read my lips, no new taxes.” While recession president George Bush Sr. may have been lying about the taxes, he got the lips part spot on. Reseachers have found that during unstable markets, woman stockpile shades of lipstick. From the saucy glossy to mood enhancing matte, ladies over look expensive luxury items to splurge on the small pleasures because it promises more bang for your buck. After all, making your mouth its most kissable is cheap and stimulates more than just the economy. [UPI] Keep reading »
