Continuing the trend, Louis Vuitton is the latest luxury brand to enter the beauty category. The products, expected to include lip balms, lipsticks, and eyeshadows, are set to release in autumn 2025. (Side question: I wonder if this will coincide with Paris Fashion Week?). The brand has tapped Pat McGrath as the beauty director to…

There’s this rumor about Snooki
“Well, you know Louis Vuitton sent her a Gucci bag so she wouldn’t be seen filmed with theirs.” The rumor has been circulating for years about Snooki, the beloved meatball of Jersey Shore. Snooki, nee Nicole Polizzi, has since debunked this rumor, but it continues to run the circuit. The idea is that a luxury…

I really like Biokiss. However…
At the end of my facial, the aesthetician concluded with a lip treatment. After an exfoliant, she topped my lips with Biokiss from Biologique Recherche. I loved the way my lips felt. It was smooth, not at all sticky. I asked about the product when I went to pay for my services. Then I was…

I have more thoughts on Sabato de Sarno leaving Gucci
As I did my digging to learn more about Sabato de Sarno’s entrance to and exit from Gucci, I questioned whether two years were enough time. Is it reasonable to expect a designer to turn around a brand in a mere 24 months? If you think about what Gucci came to represent, you have to…

Sabato de Sarno is out
I still have the video Gucci put out, “Who is Sabato de Sarno?” on my watch later list. Now it would be pointless to watch. After entering the brand through the hole left by Alessandro Michele, Sarno had high expectations thrust upon him. Presumably, he didn’t meet those expectations, and that is why he is…

I have my eye on the luxury stays at Aman NYC
I am waiting, hoping for the day that I randomly win a sweepstakes, so I can finally afford a stay at Aman New York, or really any of their properties. Curiosity is my vice, and it has me desperately wanting to know if a stay at this luxury hotel is worth it. On a cheap…

These cleansing wipes from Cle de Peau are a strong contender
If you aren’t new here, you may know that I am very slowly becoming enamored with Cle de Peau. That’s a lie. I raved after I first tried a product from the luxury Japanese skincare brand. I am already enamored and am just continuing to try more products from them. Today, I would like to…

Is this the solution last minute shoppers have been waiting for?
I was on the Valentino webpage, as us nonwealthy do from time to time. I noticed they were promoting an option for a virtual gifting experience: 4Gift. As they put it, it gives you the option to give your recipient an instant digital unboxing, meaning you don’t need to worry about shipping delays. They get…
