Floss Gloss Polishes – Part 2

My love affair with Floss Gloss continues. After falling hard for these colors, I had to experience more. At the top of my list was Tanlines, a peachy nude, and Partybruise, a rich purple brown that almost looks black on. I like the unexpected nude with the inky black. And Stun remains my all time favorite glitter polish. The gold flecks are fine and can be layered easily. I’ve been using Floss Gloss’ base and top coat, Baseline and Gloss, with loads of success.

Favorites from the NARS Andy Warhol Collection

I can’t really remember a collection being met with such fanfare as the NARS Andy Warhol collection. The iconic imagery makes for some pretty darn cool gifts, but I wasn’t too sure how wearable the actual products are. Alas, I found some great gems for those who prefer a more subtle, neutral look.

NARS ‘Andy Warhol’ Self Portrait Eyeshadow Palette Self Portrait 2 is straight forward black, ivory and silver. A wash of silver makes for a pretty, festive lid, while black makes a great liner. I have been using the ivory in the corners of my eyes to illuminate. Note: the black pigment on his face is a thin layer. Black will only remain in the background on the left.

NARS ‘Any Warhol’ Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Silver Factory is slightly edgier. When I wear a glitter/sparkly eye, I usually reach for gold. This silver is such a flattering alternative – I think I am hooked. The smooth pencil glides easily on the delicate eye. The creamy formula blends nicely. And I love using this as a festive primer and letting just a bit of metallic peek through.

NARS ‘Andy Warhol’ Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Viva already has a special place in my heart. I cannot believe I haven’t tried the Larger Than Life Lip Gloss. The finish is ultra shiny, but it doesn’t feel thick. It hydrates my poor dry lips. And has great staying power for a gloss. The shorter brush makes for a little extra work, but I like the precision it offers. Note: this actually looks like a rosy nude on – not sure why it looks so bright in both pictures.

Shop these and other favorites from the NARS Andy Warhol collection:

Essie + Bauble Bar

Two of my favorite brands have come together for the coolest little collaboration. What possibly can be better than jewels and nail polish? The winter Essie collection is paired with your custom set of bracelets. Here is how it works:

choose your polish and a custom bracelet
then, stack on a bangle or cuff
and then add a wrap bracelet to finish the look!

All four items are $50 and come in an adorable pouch. Such a great gift idea or little treat for yourself.

Laura Mercier ‘Art Deco Muse Collection’ Illuminating Eye Color

I had to have these Laura Mercier Eye Colors as soon as I set my eyes on them. Lately, I’ve been doing inky black liner and one-note metallic eyeshadow all over the lid. The look is festive and glam – perfect for the holidays. Available shades are:

Gilded Bronze (left below)
Gilded Moonlight
Gilded Platnium (right below)
Gilded Rose Gold

These shadows have great color pay-off and can be layered for a foil effect. They aren’t creamy at all, but manage to somehow go on smooth and even. Cheers!
