from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeWhile we’re waiting for Chanel’s golden collection for fall, Dior already has something for us. It’s more of a concept than a full line of products, because some of the items that make the look aren’t really new and/or limited edition, which is not nec…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeI’ve said this before, and it’s worth repeating: There are so many great products on the market today, that a mediocre mascara is simply unacceptable.I usually love the makeup from Besame Cosmetics, a small and semi-exclusive line, famous for elegant a…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeIt’s all about red lipstick, lately, and there are many beautiful options. Not that it’s making finding the right one any easier. A line worth checking is Julie Hewette’s Noir Collection which includes six reds with different undertones, so hopefully t…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeEmily Blunt is barely recognizable in this New York Times Style Magazine article, but it’s an interesting look. She’s (supposedly. Most often the products used in photo shoots are mixed and blended from more than one source to achieve a certain effect)…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeThe jewel in the crown of the DMV experience (for our overseas friends: Department of Motor Vehicles, also known as Purgatory) is having the glamor shot. A moment in time which accompanies us everywhere for the next four years, and it’s a good idea to …

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeMy annoyance with Chanel’s spring collection is already documented here. Truth be told, spring/summer collection are rarely as exciting as fall offering. Maybe it’s all the pink, or maybe there’s something else at the works. Just like Vogue’s September…

from perfumeshrine @ Perfume ShrineIt’s always great to find that a house one admires releases something new and exciting. I got the info on this through Perfumista.org who attended the NYC Snifapalooza. The new Eau de Liane , another Bertrand Duchaufour composition for L’Artisan Parfum…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeI haven’t written much about the Summer 2008 collections. The reason is that most of them left me feeling uninspired. There’s only so much innovation one can find in bronzing powders, especially when said one is quite addicted to them and already owns …

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeLike most LVMH-owned companies, Sephora manages to keep annoying me. I’m not even talking about the decline of their fragrance department, or lamenting the good old days when you could buy Chanel and Bobbi Brown at Sephora stores. What gets to me is th…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeConfession time: I’m wary of private labels. When I buy something I want to know exactly where it comes from and who makes it. Recently there are more and more makeup lines carrying the names of makeup artists, some more famous than others, and not all…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeI get that Rihanna is a young, beautiful pop star. This status definitely allows for some questionable fashion choices. The goddess of teenage girls remembers Madonna circa 1984 and the millions of fans who ran out to but fingerless lace gloves and tie…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeAfter last week’s TheBalm fiasco, we all deserve a concealer that actually delivers. Laura Geller liquid concealer in a pen with a plastic brush does the work wonderfully. Over the last month it has become my favorite little miracle. I’m using the one …

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeIt’s very rare nowadays that I get caught up in a Sephora hype over a brand, buy it and then desperately try to make it work, until finally giving up and just tossing it out. Seriously, this is a humbling experience, because I should know better, right…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeMy goal when applying eye shadow is to get a smooth, well-blended look that accentuates the eyes, makes them pop and is all about me eyes and not about the makeup. There’s a balance between fashion colors, textures, the fun of experimenting and the ide…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeKeeping the theme of beautiful things, I’ve been completely obsessed lately with the under-hyped Ten Thousand Islands eyeshadow palette from Cargo. It’s supposed to be a limited edition, but it’s been around since 2006 and is still available from Sepho…

from Gaia, The non-blonde @ The Non-BlondeTalking about lip liners is a bit boring. The subject falls under “if there’s something to say about it, you must be doing it wrong”, but since lining mistakes would make one channel Pamela Anderson, it is worthy of discussion.My all-time favorite lip …
