Pre-Party Pick Me Up

IceCubes Revive tired, sullen and sun-damaged skin with Ole Henriksen’s firming ice cube treatment:

• 5 oz. fresh lemon juice
• 5 oz. strongly brewed rose hips tea
• 5 oz. strongly brewed mint tea
• 5 oz. vodka

Blend ingredients together, and pour into an ice cube tray.  (One ice cube can be used several times, simply return to freezer after each application.)  

Once frozen, place an ice cube in a thin cotton handkerchief, and allow the active ingredients to melt through. Glide across the entire face and throat for at least 2 minutes, then leave to absorb 100%. Finish with a collagen-boosting serum.

Use as needed, or as much as 3-4x/week for prolonged effect.

BeautyMaverick x M.A.C

1 2 3 4 5

Back in late February, M.A.C tapped 80+ beauty bloggers to submit their ideal eyeshadow/lipglass formulation for an upcoming capsule collection, which was to be curated by top execs including SVP and Global Creative Director James Gager. Naturally, I had to place a bid.

Fast-forward to April, when 9 of us were gifted with a golden ticket to the brand's original, highly-secure Ontario production facilities. Over the course of two days, mood boards and personal trinkets were transformed into the industry's first-ever consumer-driven collection, Bloggers' Obsessions.

As you might imagine, each M.A.C enthusiast worked alongside an established chemist to create their ideal finish. For Caqui, my aim was to achieve a lip color that's not only original and on-trend, but also buildable and universally flattering.

The result? A juicy, shimmer-free persimmon orange with a subtle, smile-brightening blue-red base.

Available exclusively online, my go-to hue launches June 21 on MacCosmetics.com.

Hope you'll enjoy! xx

Back to the Future

Fonda
In 1968, a highly sexualized, Elnett-encrusted Fonda journied into the future to seek and destory an evil villian in a little film called Barbarella. It's now clear the then-unknown date was actually spring 2011, and that she arrived looking perfectly on-trend.
