Boutique Critique:: AvaMaria: Look 1

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

AvaMaria is tucked away along the cobblestones of Crosby St just So. of Ho. Inside you’ll find a load of Louboutins and Choos and DVF wraps next to relative unknowns that will soon circulate your wardrobe. Store owner, and former professional ballroom dancer, Katherine Virketiene’s buying philosophy lies in that when you buy something one season, you’re going to have it forever. Therefore, she doesn’t always scramble to get the very newest in Ava Maria, much of her energy goes to finding the best never-before-worn pieces from recent seasons past, and sells them a discount.

Sheikh Chic: Abu Dhabi’s $11 Million Xmas Tree

Edited by Josh Linam

An Abu Dhabi hotel spent $11 million on its Christmas tree.

Adorned with rubies, rare jewels and gold, the hotel admitted it probably went overboard in “attempts to overload” the tree. A 43-foot faux fir with semi-precious stones – talk about a tricked-out tree.

Sluts Looking For Love?

Edited by Nicole Vardo

Stay Classy reality TV… stay classy!… Let’s just say it’s a good thing that I’m what you would call a “bashing-biotch” aka a FashionIndie writer, it’s stories like this that make life exciting. First of all it was a surprise to me that anyone would even care about Tiger Woods’ and any promiscuous affairs he’s up to..He plays golf… enough said. This on the other hand is as scandalous as you can get “The Mistresses are getting their own show!!?

NARS Blush Douceur Fall 2010 Limited Edition

Edited by The Fashion Web

Nars Fall 2010 collection is stunning. There's no arguing about that. The eye colors are bold and each one of them can and should be the focal point of a full makeup look. I passed on the lip colors despite their gorgeousness because Nars lipsticks are too dry for me. But I was most curious about the new limited edition blush, Douceur, because the texture is so soft and sheer, and it lacks the gold shimmer found in most Nars blushes.  The question was: would it be too light to show up on my skin?

Some bloggers recommended Douceur for light skin tones and they’re mostly right- if you’re very tan or dark there’s a good chance this blush wouldn’t work for you, even when layered heavily. But my medium-pale olive skin actually loves this color because it’s visible but looks very natural. I don’t need to build the intensity or use a super thick brush. One swipe is all it takes for an easy effortless look.

The swatches show you just how compatible Douceur and I are. I swatched with a regular Chanel blush brush and only swiped once, just as I would do on my face. You can see that awful mosquito bite I got the other day right on my wrist (it hurts like you wouldn't believe), and the blush color is just a natural extension of the shade I get when bitten. Not a recommended method for testing makeup, but it works. You can also see that the NARS imprint in the compact fades as soon you swipe your brush over it. I started using it right away, without taking pictures first, so by the time I got to photograph the blush it was almost gone.

Bottom Line: I hope they reconsider the limited edition thing. I want Douceur in the permanent line.

NARS Douceur Blush ($26) for Fall 2010 is available from most decent department stores, Sephora and narscosmetics.com.
