Luxuryparlor Yves Saint Laurent Get The Look Review

The look at Yves Saint Laurent was slightly boyish with hair pulled into a low knot with a strong sideburn statement. “This style is a bit boyish, which is what we’ve seen a lot of this season. The look is inspired by a French Twiggy, slightly tomboyish and very cool look. The left sideburn is key to the look.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant.

NARS New Summer 2011 Makeup Collection Review

I can’t help but get excited when new summer makeup collections pop up bursting with shadows, lipsticks, blushes and nail polishes begging to be painted on. And NARS’ Summer 2011 collection fulfills my desire to get creative with color.

The beauty brand takes us away to the tropics with its new range of products punctuated in vivid, nature-defying shades like sea foam, mandarin orange and sunflower yellow. François Nars, founder and creative director, translates this into a smoldering look worn by model Iris Strubegger.
