New Dior Shadow & Chic Summer Boots

LUXE: We want you to soak in some UV this summer and by that we’re not advocating baking in the sun without any SPF. We just love Dior’s new Ultra Violet Ultra-Smooth, High Impact Eyeshadow for summer (number 186). It’s the perfect deep plum with just a hint of shimmer, but not screaming, “Take me to a disco.” A little goes a long way in the crease of your eyes or in the outer edges.  If you have brown peepers, the shadow has an amazing way of bringing out your green highlights. Match it with a matte pink over the entire lid, three Tamara Gold swipes of mascara and you’re out the door looking classic chic. Four red kisses out of five. (www.Dior.com for $28. Find it at Lord&Taylor).

LEAN: Kate Hudson started it when she strolled down the streets of Los Angeles in a white short skirt, bright blue tank and…boots. Yes, low as you can go summer boots and chic ones that look a bit Western from designer Isabel Marant . (www.isabelmarant.tm.fr) You can mimic the look with a cheaper version that only cost $58 from Urban Outfitters. Check out their Kimchi Blue “Canvas Western Boots in cotton canvas and leather. (www.urbanoutfitters.com). Four red kisses out of five.

Has Your Favorite Lipstick Been Discontinued?

Dear Red Lipstick Report,

My friend and I have been buying the same great lipstick from a boutique for years even though she’s a blond and I’m a brunette. It’s one of those fab colors that looks great with neutrals and I wear a lot of black and white. Now they say it’s discontinued. We did research and found out it’s from No Name Cosmetics. Possible it’s under a different # or name? How do I find someone to match it for me? We order 5 at a time of #42 also known as champagne.

A Desperate Color Matcher

Dear Desperate Color Matcher,

I’m sorry to hear your plight, but you should know it happens to the best of us!  Your in luck – I’ve got some good news for you. I once met a woman who was fascinated by the process of mixing lipsticks, foundations and more. She was a true blue artist and makeup happened to be where she played.  She prided herself on her magical touch, and uncanny ability to find her customers the perfect shade and texture lipstick. One day, she decided that she would open her own Cosmetic lab. Hence, Colorlab, was born! Mixology Magic.

In 1996, the talented makeup artist, Mary Swaab, created a process to replicate discontinued lipsticks and more. An immediate hit among beauty insiders, Colorlab, gained recognition from the press, including Vogue, InStyle, Mademoiselle and Seventeen magazine.

You can find Colorlab Custom Cosmetics at high end salons and spas and selected department stores. You can send a sample directly to the lab and have it matched into your own perfect shade. Instructions below.
