I’m long overdue for this review! I’ve been playing with the Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate and Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer since they launched in July. They are truly remarkable products worthy of their names if you use them correctly. For starters the foundation is a concentrate which means it’s about as full coverage, and as potent as they come — so you only need a little bit! Apply it to your hand first and then with a brush, beautyblender or your finger blend onto skin for maximum coverage. Unless you like a lot of coverage this may be too heavy or concentrated which is way it launched simultaneously with the Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer. Together you can adjust these two products for your perfect weight and coverage level.

The Place to Be: My 3 Top NYC Picks {Sponsored}
This past week I was inspired by Marc Jacobs latest fragrance, Honey by Marc Jacobs to tour and share some of favorite places to be and be seen in NYC. While there’s an endless list of NYC hot spots, and “it” venues of the moment, this fragrance took me in a different direction. With notes of orange blossom, fruits and florals, paired with honey and woods, this scent just makes me want to be outside and visit some of this city’s finest spots that never go out of vogue. And thanks to the beautiful weather last week, I did just that!
I’m going to start off with my ride! The place to always be and be seen, is on the back of a Vespa! The Italians knew what they were doing when making this a classic mode of transportation. It’s chic, compact, and

In case you missed the headlines this morning, Marc Jacobs is stepping down as creative director of Louis Vuitton, along with his business partner Robert Duffy are exiting Vuitton.
Women’s Wear Daily reports that Jacobs is exiting his job to focus on an IPO for the Marc Jacobs brand, which could come some time in the next three years. There is some speculation that Jacobs might go to Coach (wouldn’t that be cray?). According to WWD, Nicolas Ghesquière, formerly of Balenciaga, may be next in line for the throne.
SEPHORA Launches Disney’s Ariel Collection
Recently, SEPHORA celebrated their 15th birthday and what an empire they have built over the past decade (and half). While the retailer is no stranger to collaborations, they have expanded their private label offerings to include everything from designers, fairy tales and a global color authority, in addition to their signature collection available at store. (Psst: August 9th they are launching the Marc Jacobs makeup line.)
This month one of our favorite Disney princesses is sharing her world under the sea with the bold, refreshing Disney Reigning Beauties Ariel Collection by SEPHORA. With such a broad range of color inspiration, from Ariel’s perfectly quaffed red hair to the shimmering tones of the sea, it is obvious that the pros at SEPHORA must have had a field day designing this collection.

Backstage at Marc Jacobs SS2011 Show

LEAD MAKEUP ARTIST: François Nars, Founder & Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics
TREND: Glossy green eyes & deep matte lips

Marc had images of what he wanted the makeup to look like – mimicking the colors of the clothing but not matching exactly.”
Get the look! Here are the key NARS products used for the show:
Face:
- NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (NEW for Spring 2011)
- NARS Orgasm Blush
Eyes:
- NARS Night Porter Eyeshadow
- NARS Nouveau Monde Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2011-for now try the olive side of Earth Angel Duo Eyeshadow)
- NARS Celebrate Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (New for Spring 2011-for now try the green side of Rated R Duo Eyeshadow)
- NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
Lips:
- NARS Volga Pure Matte Lipstick (now on counters exclusively at Saks!)
- NARS African Queen Lip Liner Pencil
- NARS Mambo Eyeliner Pencil
LEAD HAIR STYLIST: Guido Palau for Redken
HIGHLIGHTS: Guido created four different looks for the show, using lots of flowers and hats. Inspired simply by “Marc’s clothes”, he used a combination of two Redken products, Thickening Lotion and Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray.
