REV Up your Lips!

I have been impressed by some of the new colors Revlon has introduced. They've really upped their game! Some of my favorites are below in textures from creme to matte & more importantly in beautiful colors you will want to wear. I used some on a recent photo shoot with Ericka McConnell and stylist Danielle Gold.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh

If you haven't been to this store located at 123 Norfolk Street you are really missing something. It's probably the best curated and displayed store in NY. The owners Maryam and Uday travel the world looking for unique objects that they would want to own - and you will too. Recent destinations include Mexico, Pakistan, and Ecuador. They tend to carry designers that are under the radar such as:

Electric Feathers
Jensen & Conroy
Dieppa Restrepo
Mania Mania
Michelle Lane
Bodkin

Georgia On My Mind

It's a name... a state... and a beauty haven on gritty Houston Street. Georgia is where I go to stock up on products I love like Barex shampoo and conditioner when I'm in New York. They were the first to introduce me to Moroccanoil when I needed something to smooth frizzy ends. In addition to many unique products, there is a salon in the back. Co-owners Kiara Ellozy and Jodie Patterson have created a cool homey cache of beauty worth a stop on your way to NoLita.

Finally! NARS opens a store of his own on Bleeker Street close to Marc Jacobs and Magnolia Bakery... pretty good company. For the last 3 seasons Francois Nars has been collaborating with Marc Jacobs sending women down the runway with his unique fingerprint. Now they live practically next door to each other in the West Village. Makeup artist professional discount cards will be issued for the store soon through the website NARS. I just had to go take a look.

Backstage at Oscar de la Renta

My last show of Fashion Week was Oscar de la Renta. It was a big show with 45 girls so we had about 20 makeup artists on Gucci's team. Orlando Pita did the hair and he had as many assistants. There were two shows and a lot of beautiful clothes.
