Emmy Rossum in Dior Beaute

A lot of celeb looks cross my desk and some grab my attention more than others. I loved the eye look on Emmy Rossum for The Wildlife Conservation Society Gala in NY.

She really just glows and it's possibly the best I've seen her look. It's a a great idea of how fab beige /taupe/browns can be on eyes , and that peach blush- perfection.

Chris Benz goes Mad Men for Resort

Many designers are showing resort collections now. Some of these shows bring us some of the nicest clothes and while they don't get as much attention as other shows, they're worth looking at.

Chris Benz seemed channel the Mad Men look for hair and makeup at his show. Makeup artist Daniel Martin calls it “1950's Californian Lady-of-Leisure" which places it before Mad Men, but the look carried over into the early 60's as well. Either way , it looks smashing on the model.

What was used :

Fuchsia lips paired with eyes that were lined on top (“just don’t call it a cat eye,” says Daniel) finished with sculpted cheeks and full, shaped brows.

To create the look, Daniel used Lancôme’s new Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation, Blush Subtil in Mauve Coquette and Tropiques Minérale Bronzer in Natural Sunkiss.

For the eyes, Daniel lined with Artliner in Noir and topped lashes with Hypnôse Mascara. The bright lips are courtesy of Le Crayon in Berry (all over the lip) topped with Color Fever Lipstick in Rock Icon Fuchsia.

FLOWERBYKENZO La Cologne

FLOWERBYKENZO ( yes all caps ) La Cologne is the summer light version of Kenzo's very popular Flower fragrance.

La Cologne starts off with powder and citrus together, the bergamot at the forefront and a hint of a soft rose note. Into the mid -point the green notes come in , not strong but mixed with the florals. By the drydown you've got some vanilla as well. To me it's a fresh rosy citrus floral.

It's somewhat like the original, but since I am a citrus fan , I like this more. It's light but not sheer and has good sillage.

The bottle is clear cylinder and it arrives in a paperboard cylinder box. Points for great packaging here, but that's the norm with Kenzo .

Full note list:

-Bitter orange, bergamot, orange and mandarin (essence).
-Rose( essence), orange blossom( absolute), and Neroli
-Musks and vanilla

FLOWERBYKENZO La Cologne retails for $ 72.00 for 3 oz /90ml

La Mer for World Oceans Day

Ok yesterday was technically , officially Oceana's World Oceans Day but as with Earth Day , shouldn't it always be important? With what's happening in the Gulf of Mexico , now we need to be more aware than ever.

La Mer has partnered with Oceana for 5 years on this event and this year they have created a limited-edition 100 ml World Oceans Day “blue” Crème de la Mer jar and will make a $200,000 donation to Oceana. This is the first time the look of La Mer’s signature Crème de la Mer jar has been changed; “going blue” signifies the brand’s continued commitment to the oceans.

Mad Men's January Jones participated in a World Oceans Day dive and you can view the video of the gorgeous fish and coral reefs if you'd like. Most importantly- treat the ocean/beaches with kindness this summer.
