Bobbi Brown Loves Lips
And she wants you to love yours too, which is why she has created the “Find Your Perfect Shades” lipstick guide. It’s a fool-proof colorwheel that will help you find hues that work with, not against, your lips’ natural shade. (For example, you have blue undertones in your skin, but you choose the wrong pink lipstick. When you apply it to your “blue” lips, you could be left with a purple hue. nobody wants that.) Just find the one of 12 base lipsticks lining the wheel that most closely matches your bare lips, and turn the wheel to reveal your 12 ideal lip color options, which are listed in three tone families—”neutral,” “bright,” and “deep.” It takes all of the frustrating and costly guesswork out of choosing lip color. Go to your nearest Bobbi Brown counter and pout away.
Pamper Your Fanny
Exhale Spa’s got it right with this event: “Get Your Rear In Gear.” I love breathing in Child’s Pose, stretching in the Downward Facing Dog, aligning my chakras, and all that jazz, but let’s get to the point. What I really need is a firmer tush to get me through the fall season’s best pants. On Wednesday, October 22, the spa is teaming up with experts from the Blues Jean Bar to provide us with a wealth of knowledge—and goodies. The class will teach techniques for shaping and toning the lower body. The Blues Jean Bar pros will tell us about the latest and greatest trends and styles. The spa will send us off with a gift bag full of Exhale Spa product samples and coupons to the Blues Jean Bar. And the whole thing’s FREE. Enjoy! The BJB trunk show starts at 9 am. The class begins at noon. To register, go to www.exhalespa.com/locations/dallas or call 214-370-5800.
Fashion at the Park: Carolina Herrera
Who doesn’t love Carolina? Seriously. Does she ever do anything less than stellar? Her show last night didn’t disappoint. The lights dimmed as lovely classical music eminated from the speakers. As the lights came up perfectly-tailored frocks paraded down the runway. Colors were mostly neutrals - black, grays and browns paired with deep beautiful purples and bright reds. That was pretty much it - a simple yet classy palette. Ah Carolina, magnifique! Tonight is my other favorite, Oscar de la Renta! Check back tomorrow!
Get Your Palin Peepers Now, Darn It!
Here’s one for Mrs. Joe Six-Pack. The Kazuo Kawasaki eyeglass frames sported by Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin are now available at the office of Dr. Arnold M. Stokol in Richardson. That’s good news for both sides of the party fence, I do believe—whether you’re looking to emulate Sexy Sarah’s signature style or you’re just bound and determined to have the most authentic Halloween costume imaginable (à la Lindsay Lohan). According to Stokol’s office, it’s the only place in the area that is carrying the line, so you’d better hurry if you want to snag a pair—ya know, in case there’s a run on the frames before October 31. Go on now, get maverick-y!
