NARS Fall 2009 Collection Inspired by Lolita

Rock your heart-shaped red glasses and bust out your lolly pops, dolls: For Fall 2009, beauty genius François Nars is bringing Lolita back. He's collaborated with model Heather Marks and makeup artist Diane Kendall.





To recreate the Lolita look, Nars went for prominent cheeks in pink, with blue and copper Silk Road and Indian Summer shades on the eyes.

Eyeshadow Duos ($32)

• Brumes Gray-brown / Navy blue

• Indian Summer Sparkling gold / Sunny yellow

• Silk Road Light tangerine-peach / Dirty pink with gold sparkle

Single Eyeshadow ($22)

• Mekong Rich, chocolate brown with gold pearl

Lipstick ($24)

• Fast Ride Dark, black-red

A deep, sheer shade reminiscent of Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey that launched to fame in the late '90s.

Nail Polish ($16)

• Tokaido Express Purple wine with gold shimmer
  

I've been rocking this nonstop. It's very The Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak ("Yah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah-tah! Cha!"). I've been getting TONS of compliments on its grapey, shimmery hue.

New Eyeshadow Duos ($32)

• Brousse Silken, deep purple / Rich, chocolate bronze

• Eurydice Dark fuchsia-purple / Black gold

• Taiga Pale yellow gold / Mossy green with gold pearl

This collection will be available in August 2009 at Nars counters nationwide and narscosmetics.com.

New From Kiehl's: Sunflower Color Preserving Hair Care

Breaking news on this Bastille Day, dolls. I'm having the best hair I've had in a WHILE thanks to last week's cut with Matthew, my SFB (super fucking blonde) highlights with Jason this past Saturday, and my new shampoo/condish OBSESH: Kiehl's newest hair care, Sunflower Color Preserving Shampoo, Conditioner, and Deep Recovery Pak. The three products launch this month at Kiehl's stores and Kiehls.com.

The paraben-free, sulfate-free, and silicone-free formula uses Sunflower Seed Oil to preserve hair color, and since Sunflower Seed Oil has a natural UV-protective filter, the line's formulas are ideal for protecting hair from damaging summer rays. You're KIDDING yourself if you think I'm going to let a single sulfate anywhere near my Jason-treated locks. For realz. Even better than my glossy, yet super-soft (but not so soft that it won't hold a style) results are the products' intoxicating scent, courtesy of its Apricot Kernel Oil infusion. More deets on the collection:

Sunflower Color Preserving Shampoo ($18)

Sunflower Color Preserving Conditioner ($19)

Sunflower Color Preserving Deep Recovery Pak ($25) This one's actually my favorite. You can feel its richness in-shower.

With my shampoo and deep recovery pak combo, I have to TEAR myself away from my mirror to gaze at my epic Reese Witherspoon levels of blonde shininess. No, it's not a myth. You MUST try it out, stat.

Erin Lucas' Sleek, Shiny 'Do Courtesy of Ted Gibson Salon's Liam Carey

The City's Erin Lucas (owner of the best bangs on EARTH--seriously, I consider getting bangs every time I see hers) hung out last week at Greenhouse in Manhattan as the celebrity mixologist for Three-O Vodka’s new “Bubble” flavor.

Erin had her tresses tamed for the event at the Ted Gibson Salon with celebrity stylist Liam Carey for the event. Liam's doll, BTW. I just saw him at the salon this weekend whilst I got my "the bitches are gonna hate you" highlights touched up with my mane man, Jason Backe. Liam sleekified Erin's hair to match her hot pink frock while celeb make up guru Brian Duprey gave Erin her signature "cat eye."

I'd posit that The City is the most influential show (with regard to hair) of 2009. What say you? Tell me in the comments.
