Pixi and Pop Beauty are very high quality lines (akin to Department store makeup)currently carried by Target (Pixi) and Pop Beauty (Ulta). Both lines are an additional 50% off the already reduced prices with the code: PixiPop50. The deals are incredible!I am talking $18.00 lipgloss that is discounted to $3.50!(And this is comparable to Chanel, not Cover Girl lipgloss.) I stocked up even though I absolutely need nothing.

Coco Chanel once said before you leave the house take one accessory off. The queen of fashion was right. After all, no ONE wants to look like a 12 year old after a shopping spree at Claire’s! When it comes to jewelry less is truly more. I personally cannot stand what I call the “NJ housewife” look, multiple bracelets, rings, etc. It looks like some of these women wear every piece of jewelry they own every day! My personal jewelry rules are:

1.) Buy the best watch you can afford. I am not a fan of fashion or trendy watches. I think everyone woman should own one great classic watch like a Rolex or Cartier. Not only will this last you forever, but it’s a great investment.

2.) If you are married wear your engagement ring and/or wedding ring proudly. If you are single don’t wear anything resembling an engagement ring. (Unless you are trying to deter men). Celebrate your singleness with all the fabulous cocktail rings out there while your digits are still free!

3.) Your costume jewelry should look like costume jewelry and not try to pass itself off as the real thing. There is a place for real jewelry and costume jewelry in your wardrobe and both are great for different looks. In general, the more formal the outfit, the more formal the jewelry.

4.) Nev-ah wear a statement necklace and earrings, or a statement bracelet and ring. Only one part of the body can be highlighted tastefully at any time. So if you are sporting fabulous earrings, no necklace, only a ring will do. Or pair a killer cuff with a necklace.

5.) Everyone woman needs: a pearl necklace and earrings (real) and a pair of diamond studs.

5.) I know they are “in” but I cannot stand bib neckaces! They remind me of dog collars or 80 year old women. There is no need to laden down your neck like this. Please. Dont.

Secrets of a shopping maven!

This looks like:

A.) A convenient way to keep your small pet close by at all times

B.) A convienient way for a hunter to strap their kills to their boots

c.) A Christian Louboutin bootie that costs $2100.

(Yes, the answer is C.)

Perfect for that 4pm pick-me-up!

Miss Smart — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:58:43 +0000

Somehow, my makeup never looks as fresh come 4pm as it did first thing in the morning. I always require touch-ups before heading to happy hour, which used to involve packing a whole makeup bag with a brush and concealor pot- just NOT cute clutch friendly! I’ve now found the best tool, Bobbi Brown’s tinted eye brightner. It comes in a perfect black tube with a brush applicator tip (IMO, not only perfect for under eye circles, but for banishing those spots & blemishes!) Available in a color sure to suit you AND only $38!

@ Bloomingdales, BobbiBrown.com and Bobbi makeup counters everywhere…
