For we of beauty fanatic ilk, Allure Magazine is the beauty bible. November’s edition of Allure features a "How To Wear Red Lipstick" interview with Poppy King, the creator and CEO of Lipstick Queen. Who better to help you pick that perfect shade of Red than lipstick royalty?
For those who simply can’t seem to embrace the opaque red mouth comfortably, Lipstick Queen has an entire line of sheer lipstick. Lipstick Queens "Saint" line is comprised of sheer versions of their opaque "sinner" shades. Saint Wine is a deep, rich mulberry. It pairs beautifully with the aubergine shades we’re seeing everywhere this Fall.
A few weeks ago, I applied my Saint Wine lipstick before heading out for a long bike ride with my family. My husband poked fun at me for being such a girlie girl. But how could I resist? The lush shade of wine was just the right hint of color for any situation, and the Lipstick Queen formula not only wears eternally, but keeps lips feeling moist and smooth.
Lipstick Queen Saint Wine lipstick retails for $18 at Barneys.

In my recent (and glowing!) product review of elf’s new nail polish collection, I casually mentioned the introduction of their bath & body collection (just in time for holiday gift-giving). Well, now that I’ve had the opportunity to sample two of the fabulous moisturizers from the collection, so I’m reporting back to you, my loyal readers!
Close your eyes and inhale the scent of e.l.f.’s Pineapple Mango Body Lotion and you’ll be instantly transported to a tropical location, fruity cocktail in hand. That was my joyous experience, as I fondly reminisced of my last Hawaiian vacation that was way WAY too long ago. Besides the divine scent, this body lotion is infused with Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf with Vitamin C, Honey Extract and Mango Seed Oil to nourish and repair dry skin. This lotion absorbed into my skin super-fast, and left it feeling soft and pampered.
The scent of Peony Petal Hand Cream forced my mind to fast-forward to spring… peonies in bloom with a touch of honeysuckle sweetness. I could easily rave about the sweet floral scent for paragraphs, but even if it were devoid of scent this moisturizer would be stand-out. The formula contains shea butter, aloe vera gel, hemp seed oil and nourishing vitamin B5… resulting in an incredibly rich hand treatment that delivers some much needed moisture to abused winter-hands.
Every product in the e.l.f. Bath & Body collection retails for only $4. The fragrances available include peony petal, cucumber melon, lavender blossom, pineapple mango and vanilla coconut. Do check them out! Click HERE to check out the e.l.f. Bath & Body collection!
