Lacoste Tribute Site

Lacoste

The visual heavy content retrospective Lacoste website is a bit of a treat as it takes you back in time to the founding of Lacoste. The site features a bit of everything. There are products from the new line (the handbag you see above is a wishlist item) autobigography of current ceo Michael Lacoste. Design drawings from Lacoste’s past and looks thoughout the history of the brand peppers the site as well. It’s a bit of a time waster and fashion lesson if you’re interested. Visit the tribute site here.

Speaking of Cheeks

So the cheeky Gisele Bundchen thing is tearing up the internet and, it reminds me of this makeup blush powder I tried last week. The correlation here is cheeks for the uninitiated. Normally highlight blushes are ignored as overkill. The blush aspect is enough you say. The thing about blush in general though is that it can either end up as too dull or too overpowering. In the case of the latter you can end up looking like some sort of clown, in the case of the former, you can end up looking as if there’s nothing there. In both cases the highlighting blush can help dramatically.

Nars Blush

In case 1: With dull blush the highlighting blush can add accents to your undertones and create that “just right” minimalist effect.

In case 2: The over blush effect is normally ameliorated by simply taking a round brush and spreading it all out. In combination with that effect, Nars Highlight blush comes HIGHLY recommended. Simply take it and LIGHTLY flush it across the area that the original blush was used and voila. Many may say blush on top of blush makes absolutely no sense at all. Try it. Simply try it and depending on the color used it can help blunt the strong effect of the dreaded over-blush.

Nars Blush

To that end NARS has two products that come highly recommended: the highlighting blush (seen above) and the combo blush/bronzer. That caking effect is a thing of the past with these two blush products. It’s something you find common with the cheaper bronze products but this is a cleaner makeup that comes off easily with makeup remover. I’d love it if there was a bit of a moisturizer or SPF product but you can’t get everything. They’re both available here.

Cheeky

Gisele Bundchen

“Dammmnnnn…I can’t believe that Leonardo Di Caprio got tired of tappin’ that! If I was Tom Brady, I’d NEVER leave her…damnnn,” quoted our esteemed business director. Making the rags New York Daily News, New York Post, The Sun and everything in between, Gisele Bundchen’s ass was on display for everyone to see. The thing is there’s got to be some sort of disconnect as the photoshoot wasn’t for some sort of ass product, it was for a makeup company. So unless women everywhere will be bearing their collective asses with some sort of blush, and rouge, there’s no correlation.

Someone please help explain the concept.

Fashion’s Revolving Door

copyright New York Times

Peter Dundas, Lars Nilsson, Paulo Melim Andersson and Isabel Toledo, these names may means completely nothing to the public at large, but for the fashion spectators they represent some of the top talent in the industry. The New York Times this morning has a piece trying to figure out, why, if they’re so good, can’t they stay employed? On the face of it the answer is pretty simple, they’re drama queens, the whole lot of them. Truth though is stranger than the fiction that is spooled around. As an example, they look at Lars Nilsson who seems to get divorced more than Elizabeth Taylor. (more…)
