  • Makeup in the Metaverse?: Nars’s new Power Players

    How do you translate makeup, something so personal and tactical, to the digital world? By creating your own avatars, it seems. Nars has debuted three “meta-humans,” all inspired the best-selling shades of Nars’s Powermatte Lipstick: Dragon Lady, Too Hot To Handle, and American Woman. These avatars, the Power Players, each have blossoming careers and serious…

  • Skincare for men? Lab Series Max LS Cleanser

    This was new cleanser for me to try, but I’m not sure I am the best person to test it out. It is the Lab Series Cleanser for men. I am not a man. But I have a face, so hopefully that will be enough for now. I have to say that I used this…

  • Finally trying the much hyped Delina by Parfums de Marly

    This fragrance is so hyped, that I just had to know what it smelled like. When I first sprayed it, I thought, “Oh no, another over hyped fragrance that I won’t like.” Then it settled, and I found myself enjoying it. I think I have only eaten rhubarb twice in my life, actively smelled it…

  • A quick ramble on Crocs, the 2nd fastest growing brand of 2022

    Crocs are the shoe that people love to hate. They are not topping the style top 10 list, but they are the 2nd fastest growing brand of 2022, beat out only by Meta. Now, the article I read on Fashion United pointed to the brand’s ever present retail solutions. They sell it directly. Amazon sells…

  • Fila collaboration with Haider Ackermann

    Bertolino concurred, speaking in the same article: “Designer collaborations bring brand equity to Fila. …It shows that the brand can stand that test of time. Redefining and elevating the brand happens with collaborations first.”  I was enlightened by reading what the Fila representatives had to say. Looking back, I have to admit that saying someone…

  • Viva magenta: The color of the year is more than just a hue

    Viva magenta. You probably have seen the mention of the 2023 Pantone color of the year already. The company beckons you to the magentaverse. While I have been seeing quite a bit of magenta in stores, I wondered how this particular color got chosen. I was expecting to find more about the process, but instead…

  • Philosophy’s Pore extractor clay mask. Not so bad

    I did not begin with high hopes for the Philosophy Pore Extractor Mask. Before I get into it, I have to admit two things. 1. I didn’t know Philosophy made skincare. 2. I am often leery of clay masks, as someone with dry skin. Philosophy Pore Extractor Clay Mask $37 for 2.5 oz Face mask…

  • Very quick first impression: Voce Viva by Valentino

    I felt underdressed trying this on at home. I definitely felt like I needed my hair in an updo and possibly one of those ribbon choker necklaces and a boatneck blouse. So maybe it didn’t feel like me at all. For some reason I think this is a special occasion scent on me. It just…
