Christian Louboutin Opens First Beauty Boutique in Paris
Well beauty lovers, Christian Louboutin has giving us another reason to visit Paris!
“Heels offer a gesture to the leg, and nail colour adds a gesture to the hand,” says Christian Louboutin.
The bottles that encapsulates Christian Louboutin’s saturated nail colours are almost as signature as the red soles that made his shoes a household name. Faceted glass, crowned with a glossy black spear cap, this bottle is the main focus of his first beauty boutique which was just unveiled in the 19th century Passage Vero-Dodat.

It’s been an exciting week! This month we celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my Share Your Beauty program!

Dr. Martens x Adventure Time Limited Edition Collection
What could be more fun (or adorable) then Dr. Martens partnering with Cartoon Network’s beloved animation series Adventure Time? Nothing, that’s what! The cartoon that attracts adults and children alike inspired a range of three styles available in sizes for both. The three boots in the collection are the Finn Boot (White Smooth Leather + Synthetic PU), Jake Boot (Yellow Smooth Leather + Synthetic PU) and Multi Boot (Character T Canvas). Sizes available are Infant (5.5-9), Junior (10-2.5) and Adult (3-13). I got a sneak peek of the collection today before their official launch tomorrow and they are so cute (and the kids at the event were eating them up too!).
La Prairie Expands Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Collection
It started with a dry oil and moisture-rich cream last February when La Prairie launched the first two products in their Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Collection. These much celebrated products offered a brilliant way to help skin protect itself from premature aging and the extremes we encounter on a daily bases from changing climate, pollution, stress and travel. Formulated with the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex of which it derives it’s namesake, this concoction began in the Swiss Alps with the discover of two alpine plants, Purple Saxifrage, and Soldanella Alpina and one algae, Swiss Snow Algae with extraordinary abilities to withstand the elements and thrive in the harshest settings on earth. Some science later La Prairie formulated a complex that embodies the strength of the survivor plants and transfers it to skin to help protect against premature aging.
Dove Wants You to #LoveYourCurls
For some weeks now, Dove launched a national campaign encouraging women to celebrate, love and take pride in their curly hair! Did you know that one in three women in the US has wavy to curly hair? (Myself included). Probably not since many of us hide it with the sweet temptation of blowing it out or flat ironing it to be straight and sleek. And I can tell you first hand why. Curly hair is hard! It gets unruly, curls drop and that next day hair is rarely something to celebrate. Not to mention the shine I’m able to achieve with a flat iron, I never see otherwise when I come out of the shower.
