Clinique ‘Best of Clinique’ Lip Gloss Set

clinique best of lip

I’m dying to snap up one of these cute, kinda-kitschy lippie key rings from Clinique!

In addition to three gloss shades (Air Kiss is a favorite of mine), this adorable little ring also boasts a discreet mirror, so you’ll never be trapped somewhere wondering if you have lipstick on your teeth or mascara smudges under your eyes.

This accessory would be great for any gal that wears her femininity on her sleeve and has no problem flaunting it on her fob!

Clinique ‘Best of Clinique’ Lip Gloss Set is available exclusively from Nordstrom for $18.50.

Daily Style: Tiffany & Co Frank Gehry Torque Bangle

tiffany bangle

This Frank Gehry torque bangle from Tiffany & Co is too fabulous for words. The photo just doesn’t do justice to its slightly asymmetrical but incredibly sleek silhouette finished in shining 925 Tiffany silver.

While some of Frank Gehry’s designs are a bit avant garde for my tastes, this bangle cleverly combines his signature look and artful take to create a piece that is superbly stylish and oh-so-sophisticated!

Available from Tiffany & Co. for $750.

Get the Look: Aubrey Plaza

Aubrey Plaza has made her mark on the red carpet of the Hollywood premiere of the new movie Funny People.mark celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh helped her make her mark, and below she dishes on how she created her stunning look.

Mai Quynh Explains How She Created Aubrey’s Red Carpet Look:

Eyes

“Aubrey wore a beautiful classic strapless Dolce and Gabbana dress. Since it was simple, we wanted to play up her makeup for a gorgeous dramatic look! I started by applying mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Corset from the lash line to her crease using the mark All Over Eyeshadow Brush. Then, I used the mark Angled Contour Eyeshadow Brush to blend Corset into the crease and also smudged along her bottom lashes using the mark Eyeliner Brush. This brush helps blend all the edges for your smoky eye. Next, I applied mark On the Edge Hook Up Liquid Eyeliner in Cleo along the top lash line and then winged the outer corner like a cat eye. I also added mark Eyemarker Color on Line in Lapis to the inner rim of her eyes. To complete, I applied two coats of mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.”

Face

“I wanted Aubrey to have a very clean and fresh face. I began by applying mark Need A Shrink Pore Minimizer as a foundation primer. I then applied mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Natural with the mark Foundation Brush and set it by applying mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Natural using the mark Powder Brush. Next, I applied mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes and around her nose. For her cheeks, I used mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Glow and then swept mark Good Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in Star Glo to the apples of her cheeks using the mark Blush Brush.”

Lips

“To finish Aubrey’s look, I applied mark Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in Secret to her lips.”
