Today I painted my nails with this color. It is call ‘Hard to get’ from Essie. Their website describes the color as “flirty pink, very light yet slightly bright” and it looks really beautiful on my nails! I believe it is part of their new summer collection.

This summer, try buying the seasons biggest trend: bright colored makeup!
1. Mac Eyeshadow in Electric Eel: bright blue with shimmer (pictured above) This is a great color and I like to use it as a eye liner.
2. Mac Eyeshadow in Chrome Yellow

3. Georgia by Benefit: this peachy pink colored blush is great for almost any complexion.

4. If you are not brave enough to use these vivid color eye-shadows, why not try the trend on your nails? I like Strawberry Margarita by OPI.

London’s newest Beauty Emporium,
Lost in Beauty
invites you to celebrate their launch party!
Tuesday April 22nd
7 pm - 11 pm
117 Regents Park Road
Primrose Hill
London NW1 8UR
This was my invitation and I didn’t go. Now I am wishing I did because…on April 23 The London Paper reported that Jay Kay from Jamiroquai made an appearance. AND I MISSED IT! I am not sure if I should be admitting this, but I had a serious crush on him when they came out. I think it had to do with him dancing all sexy on that moving platform in the Virtual Insanity music video. Apparently Jay Kay was showing off his new 100,000 pound Audi outside the store.

Yesterday as I was reaching for my perfume, I thought about the first time I bought it at a small boutique in New Hope, PA called Scarlett. The boutique as I remember it was very quirky and eclectic. The front room was full of perfume and other little do-dads. In the back was a room full of cosmetics (I loved lip glosses). Unfortunately, the store is not in New Hope anymore, but I recently found their website. I don’t believe they have a Scarlett Cosmetics boutique anywhere, but they do supply retailers in the US, UK, and and Hong Kong!
Anyway, I am thrilled that I found Scarlett’s website because I remember how upset I was that they closed their store. Oh… and if you want to know what perfume I use…well, it’s a secret

Today, a reader emailed me asking what my favorite beauty product is… that would have to be the Multiple stick from Nars.
This multi-purpose makeup stick can be used as a blush, eyeshadow, or lipstick. It’s pretty much the only thing I need to carry in my handbag when I go out. The great thing is that the Multiple comes in many colors. My favorite colors happen to be Orgasm (this color just came out in the multiple, but I previously used this color in a powder blush) and Antibes. I also recommend Copacabana which acts as a highlighter and is a shimmering pearl color. If you want to go bronze, try South Beach or Palm Beach.
