    Beauty to Perfekt-tion with @PerfektBeauty

    I’m always on the hunt for the next best thing when it comes to barely-there cosmetics. I’m all for the “fresh-faced” beauty trend this season, but with less than perfect skin, its hard to achieve a natural, clean look without piling on the products. Especially during the hot summer months, cake-y, oil-based foundations and concealers are the last thing I want to put on my face (only to sweat it all off by noon). So, during a fluke visit to Henri Bendel with my sister last week, I was introduced to the Per-fekt Beauty line of lightweight cosmetics-my new summer cosmetic OBSESSION.

    Per-fekt Cosmetics is a lightweight, sweat-proof, and summer friendly line of cosmetics created with the working woman in mind. In today’s fast-paced world, its hard to get the coverage you need in the short amount of getting-ready time we have in the morning. With face, body, lip, cheek, and eye products, Per-fekt Beauty has all the bases covered!

    Skin Perfection Gel

    Eye Perfection Gel

    Lip Perfection Gel

     

    The Skin Perfection Gel is the perfect multi-tasker, instantly enhancing the appearance of the skin, offering an easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer, color corrector and powder.

    The Cheek Perfection Gel is a cheek-stain/creme that comes in two varieties–blush and bronzer. Try mixing both colors for a more subtle look.

    The Body Perfection Gel — seriously the most amazing self-tanner I’ve ever seen! “Liquid Pantyhose”, this product evens and tones skin while covering veins and blemishes AND providing an all over healthy summer glow.

    The Perfect Eye Collection consists of anti-aging under-eye concealer, brow perfecter, and mascara. Brighten, tame, and enhance your eyes.

    The Lip Perfection Gel is a lightweight, silky smooth color gel that “per-fekts” and enhances the appearance of the lips offering a modern alternative to traditional lip stick, lip gloss and lip treatment. This multi-tasking color infused lip perfector glides on effortlessly to instantly improve the appearance of dry lips, chapped lips, lip lines, and thin lips, while offering perfect color and perfect application everytime.

    Fresh-Faced to Perfekt-tion!

     The Lovely Anne, Per-fekt Counter Manager at Henri Bendel, NYC

    Per-fekt Beauty is honestly one of my favorite cosmetics lines for the summer. Even after a long day in the city, my makeup still looked as flawless as it did in the morning! With a mousse-like consistency, the Face Perfection Gel left my skin as soft as ever, and I was impressed with the matte application (goodbye blotting paper!). The Body Perfection Gel was also pretty impressive. It left a sun kissed glow and the best part about it all – it doesn’t wipe off! Once it’s on, it’s on for good, or until you wash it off. No more makeup marks on your freshly laundered clothing. No complaints here! 🙂

    So if you’re looking to switch up your makeup routine, or, like me, want a smooth, lightweight look for the summer, try Per-fekt Beauty! Order online or visit Anne at the Henri Bendel Counter, 712 5th Avenue, NYC. It’ll soon become a favorite of yours too!

    Heidi Gardner @CreatureCouture Fall Preview

    Last week I attended the fall preview for Heidi Gardner Creature Couture at Dopo Teatro in NYC. Guests sipped cocktail and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres at the private event where Heidi’s latest jewelry line was showcased.

    The pieces were detailed, brass and silver creatures and skulls from a high-fashion nightmare. Stones shimmered from their eye sockets, or in some cases they had empty gazes.

    I love, love all of these pieces. There were so delightfully twisted and wicked.

    Prices range from $120 -$4,800.

    This actually isn’t a ring. It’s a pendant for a necklace, but I just set it atop my finger because I thought it looked cool there. 🙂

    Rings and things

    Enjoyed meeting Heidi. She had a ton of energy!

    Heidi shows off her jewels. Love that ring!

    Shackle with @ITSJEREMYSCOTT @Adidas

    A new Adidas sneaker has sparked outrage, with sneaker fans accusing the brand of promoting racism. The Roundhouse Mid “Handcuff” shoe, created by controversial New York designer Jeremy Scott, features a plastic orange shackle that attaches to each ankle. The $350 sneakers hit stores in August, but Adidas promoted them on their official Facebook page on June 14 with this quote: “Tighten up your style with the JS Roundhouse Mids, dropping in August. Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?” While the brand may be making a cheeky statement about shoe theft, many are equating these binding devices with slavery and prisoners. At press time the “Handcuff” sneaker image has over 36,000 Facebook likes, but many of the comments are angry and disapproving.

    Event LOVE: Dirty Car Exhibit

    I went to the Dirty Car Exhibit at Edition/Richmond gallery and was totally blown away. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I LOVED what I saw. The gallery was transformed into a unique single-day art exhibit, and we got to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while admiring the unique artwork of world-renowned ‘dirty car artist’ Scott Wade.

    …Possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen 🙂

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a dirty car look so good!

    Thanks for inviting me 🙂

    Get Thick with Keranique

    Women make up 40% of American hair loss sufferers, yet the issue continues to be thought of as a strictly male condition. Thinning hair can put a significant dent in a woman’s confidence, and over the years, women have tried a range of strange approaches to make their hair thicker and fuller, from huge curlers, to blow drying their hair upside down, to use of harsh chemicals, to even using raw eggs or beer as shampoo.

    Want amazing thick hair that you see on Pinterest?  I do!  One of the best ways to get luscious hair is to use a hair supplement. Besides a vitamin rich diet, plenty of water, rest and happy thoughts, one of the best products on the market to kick start your hair growth into 4th gear is using Keranique Serum.

    The Keranique Hair Re-Growth Treatment works to raise self-esteem by transforming thinning hair into full-bodied, luscious locks.

     Just a few drops per day to see real results.

    Features 2% Minoxidil, the only FDA-approved treatment clinically-proven to help re-grow hair.
