Though he has been wooed by several companies in recent years to start a range of beauty products, he decided to partner with Batallure Beauty LLC – which creates beauty brands and “store experiences” for the likes of Sephora, Macy’s and Marchesa – because he felt they understood what he and his company stood for.

Robin Burns, chairman and co-founder of Batallure, said of Louboutin that his designs are “extremely aspirational to women” and “most beauty products that are successful have an element of aspiration to the consumer.”

Louboutin tends to agree, stating “Beauty products also have to do with empowering women. That’s very much the job of the shoes I’m designing.” And while the designer chose to remain allusive as to what specific categories he’ll be launching, he emphasized that they will “mirror the quality of the shoes, of the bags, of all the DNA of the brand.”

As for his inspiration behind the new line, Louboutin looked to old-school royalty: Queen Nefertiti and her 3,300-year-old bust at Berlin’s Neues Museum. “It’s the most beautiful thing. I stayed like an hour just looking at the bust. It’s a perfect beauty and the makeup is quite perfect.” [WWD, sub req'd]

Summer booty shaking ain't summer booty shaking without a good pair of hot pants. Rihanna's stylist went the solid color route in Rude Boy, but we are in love with this Sequined Mex Tex pair from ASOS. And the bright colors are so in sync with the vid.

Leopard boots are an absolute must for every video ho, especially if you want to channel RiRi's look. And who can we turn to besides Christian Louboutin for the sexiest pair on the market?

Layer them on, girl, because Rihanna is blinged-out. For starters, check out this Big Links Chain from Betsey Johnson. Then add them by the handful until you can barely lift your neck.

Throw on a huge, fabulous pair of earrings and add a shiny gold ear cuff for good measure. Rihanna wanted to take flight, and you can too with this gold-tone, angel wing version.

Rihanna's makeup is super fierce in "Rude Boy," especially this fiery pink eye she's rocking. To get the look, choose a bright, rosy shadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock. Sweep the hue from the inner corner of your eye past the outer corner for a cat eye effect. Finish with thick eyeliner on top and bottom lash lines and black mascara.

This smooth yet rich formula hides even the darkest of circles after a late night on the town. Dab, don't drag, a small amount under eyes for that "I'm wide awake" look in an instant.

To be worn under or over makeup, this amazingly silky formula does exactly what it says by eliminating skin imperfections and illuminating the complexion. I apply in between foundation and powder in the morning and anytime my makeup needs a refresher throughout the day.

It's easy to get away with little makeup in the summer, especially when you use a sheer, luxurious bronzer like Dolce & Gabbana Glow. Use a few swipes of powder-finish foundation before sweeping this onto cheeks, nose, chin and forehead.

Forget everything you once knew about highlighters because this sheer powder delivers the best golden glow. Sweep from the lash line to the brow bone, add eyeliner, mascara and voila - your makeup looks perfect in 60 seconds.

Not only does this lightweight miracle spray add instant shine and moisture, it acts as a sunscreen to protect your coif from UV damage. A sunscreen and styling spray in one - what's not to love?

Brigitte makes the tuxedo shirt look très sexy. You'll love this version for it's luxurious silk/cotton hand and sheer, playful nature.

Channel her effortless, French style with black and white polka dots 'round your neck. Tie into a bow, and it's the only accessory you'll need.

Bardot's long, bodacious locks are easy to recreate, even if you don't have a natural wave. Prep before blow drying with a style primer and then set your hair with hot rollers. Brush out the curls and tease at your crown for extra volume.

Brigitte always rocked a kohl-lined eye and thick black eyelashes. Use an eyeshadow palette of lighter pinks and neutrals before applying Benefit's namesake liner. Finish with two coats of black mascara.

Perfect your pout just like the French bombshell with a nude lipstick that adds warmth to your skin tone. We've dubbed this Dolce & Gabbana shade the "miracle nude" because it looks great on everyone and doesn't have that chalky white "i look dead" effect.

Did you know you can both tan and protect your skin while lying on the beach? All you need is a self tanner that does double duty as a sunscreen. We're suckers for Clarins, and the Delectable Self Tanning Mousse with SPF 15 works like a dream.

We tend to forget our hair is basically an extension of our skin, and it requires sun protection to stay healthy too. Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray with SPF 16 protects hair, scalp and even the body from harmful UVA/UVB rays, with no sensation of stickiness or heaviness.

We don't think about protecting our hands from the sun's harmful rays, but they need just as much or more love as the rest of our skin. Borghese Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme includes SPF 8 to protect from UVA & UVB rays and keeps skin feeling incredibly nourished and hydrated.

One of the quickest and most practical ways to add SPF to your beauty routine is with foundation; you can protect as you primp. After using Clé de Peau Beauté Refining Fluid Foundation with SPF 24, you'll never want to use another brand again.

A nourishing lip balm with a hint of tint and SPF protection is perfect for everything, from a day at the beach to a night out. If you've never tried Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment with SPF 15, you're in for a treat.

During this time of spring showers, waterproof mascara is a gal's best friend. And since Dior DiorShow Mascara is one of the best out there, you know the waterproof version has some serious stay-put power.

While you're at it, prevent your cat eye from running down your face with a waterproof liner. We'll always and forever love Benefit's BADgal.

Save your face before it starts melting from the mist with a handy handkerchief. Just a light dab here and there where the rain caught you will do the trick. How cute is this Wings + Horns version?

The key to not looking like a wet dog on a rainy day is to use LESS hair product than you normally would so the humidity doesn't make your lovely locks look gloppy. A few spritzes of Living Proof Straight Making No Frizz Styling Spray will do the job by keeping your hair smooth and frizz-free. Throw it in your bag for touch-ups throughout the day.

There's nothing like a cute and colorful umbrella to shield you from the stormy clouds and give your aura a touch of sunshine. We love how ModCloth repped all of ROYGBIV with their Rays the Bar version.

For maximum hair and makeup protection, throw a hat on your head - it's both cute and practical. We're drooling over this shiny, woven plastic Rachel Comey Barrel Hat so much, we almost want it to start raining again. Almost.

This vibrant, matte coral hue goes on and stays in place, so you can take it from the office to martinis without skipping a beat.

This high-shine formula moisturizes, smoothes and plumps the lips while Vitamins C & E offer anti-oxidant protection.

Combining the rich color and longevity of a lipstick with the easy application of a gloss, you can be beautiful and eco-friendly wearing this gorgeous vegan formula.

If you're looking for a more neutral take on this peachy trend, MAC's Creme d' Nude is the perfect shade.

Creatures of the Wind Spring 2012 look by NARS

It's no secret mint is a huge color for spring, so show some love with this highly pigmented cream shadow. Add a little to lips and cheeks if you're feeling super brave.

Start out using one shade to get a feel for this soft, romantic eye palette, or try a few for a playfully dramatic look.

Get your mermaid on with this cool blue, long-lasting liner. A for sure statement maker, line top and bottom lashes and simply finish with mascara.

Channel the YSL Spring 2012 runway with shades from the Candy palette, worn by models in the show.

This lovely muted yellow will make all eye colors pop, enhancing green and blue peepers and reflecting luminous gold hues in brown.

This quick-drying liquid liner pen has a unique chisel tip for perfect precision every time. And what pink could be more perfect for spring than Donutella?

Create your own secret rose garden with pearly, shimmering purple and pink shadows that will make eyes pop in the springtime sunlight.

If you've ever been scared to use self tanner, this bronzing mousse will change your outlook. The super lightweight formula is infused with conditioning aloe vera for a streak-free tan that dries instantly.

This all-over, luminous self tanner is like a day at the beach in a bottle. Plus, it's great for those of you out there with sensitive skin.

This continuous spray formula from the experts at Bliss contains a visible, transfer-resistant bronzer so you can track where you spray. Also infused with aloe vera and antioxidants, it fights free radicals with botanical extracts.

This tried and true tanner bronzes your skin immediately but continues to darken for a flawless self tan in just a few hours. And the vitamin-packed formula ensures your gorgeous glow lasts for days.

The key to this rocker girl look is the jacket, and this hot, faux-leather number from Collection B is both cool and eco-friendly. Bonus: use code FASHIONINDIE10 to save an additional $10 (making this a KILLER steal at under $50!), exclusive for our readers!

Accessorizing with a bandana was the ultimate in rocker wear back in Blondie's day. This Alexander McQueen version has skulls worked into the paisley pattern for extra style points.

Every rocker chick needs a chain belt, and we're digging this gold Blumarine version.

Every gal wants to enhance her peepers, and Debbie did it in a subtly standout manner. We love MAKE UP FOR EVER's Individual Lashes for drama without the super fake eyelash look.

Why not give the two-tone look a try? You could play with any color combo you choose, but Manic Panic Classic Cream Formula in Raven will give the stark blond/black contrast Debbie so flawlessly pulled-off.

“I see makeup, fragrance — everything, really — as an opportunity. The idea of choosing a color for your lip, or an eyeliner — it’s just such a delight. The ritual of waking up and making those choices is something people really enjoy,” Jacobs, who had his first meeting about the line last week, told WWD. ”We currently are working on defining what Marc Jacobs cosmetics will be, what they’ll say, what makes them distinctive. I think that will take some time, but the first meeting was good.”

As for Dot, that’ll start stinking up the joint in July. [WWD]

Carefree and rebellious, this gorgeous fragrance was inspired by a new generation of Italian IT girls. This beautiful floral bottle might be the most gorgeous we've seen, holding inside a scent beaming with an air of the Mediterranean. Calabrian bergamot, white Alba truffle, wild strawberry, Amalfi orange blossom and cedar marry perfectly together.

Rich and daringly provocative, this darkly seductive, art deco-inspired bottle holds a curious creature and mysteriously sexy scent. Exotic, unconventional and poisonous flowers are blended together to form an elixir sure to cast a spell on your senses. The blend of Black Davana, Opium Flower, Belladonna, Poison Hemlock and Frankincense is feminine yet strong... and will stay with you all through the day.

A fragrance of enchantment, mystery and fantasy, this bottle says it all. With your feet on the ground and head among the stars, prepare for an imaginary journey through the world of Hermès. Woody with the warm scent of amber, this timeless perfume will take you from the constellations to the deep blue sea and back again.

Cute as a button tied up in a big pink ribbon - the bottle emulates this crisp scent from Ferragamo to a T. Fresh yet refined, this is the perfect perfume for the sophisticated woman who's young at heart. An unexpected mixture of elegant jasmine and sweet pannacotta make what's inside oh-so memorable.

We can't get enough of Mox Botanicals' bold yet simplistic packaging, the perfect match for what you'll find inside. Crafted from the highest quality essential oils, these scents are captured with a base of organic jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, Oregon beeswax and Vitamin E. We love Arsinoe for its wildly beautiful mix of jasmine, vanilla bourbon, sandalwood, ylang yang and wild orange.

A burst of florals mixed with bright and tart rhubarb - it's not difficult to understand what this bottle is saying. Lilac, rose and heliotrope bring the soft smell of a sunny spring day to the earthy air of this red root. Daring and sophisticated, you'll want to smell like this year after year.

1. Get a good pair of hair shears. Don’t you dare lift your kitchen, fabric or paper cutting scissors for this task because they will damage your hair further. Invest in a pair of professional salon scissors for the best possible results. Tweezerman Spirit 2000™ Styling Shears are a great tool at an even better price.

Young woman cutting her hair, close-up

We all know washing your hair daily can do some serious damage, stripping away natural oils and leaving your coif dry and brittle. Even if dry shampoo freaked you out in the past, you'll love the modern versions like Arrojo's ReFINISH. Infused with aloe and ginger, this formula absorbs excess oil while creating texture and volume.

Voted Best Quick Fix by Allure Magazine, this is another dry shampoo we can't get enough of. In a matter of minutes, this lemon verbena- scented product rejuvenates hair by absorbing excess oil, removing product buildup and boosting volume.

If you don't have time to wash your hair but can spare five minutes for your blowdryer, nothing can revive your mane like a quick blowout. T3's award-winning Featherweight Hair Dryer works at lightning speed for the professional finish you can rarely achieve outside the salon.

If you've been running around the city all day and need a little hair therapy, this lightly scented, oil-absorbing powder from Stila is the perfect remedy. It adds volume without weighing hair down and smells fantastic... what's not to love?

For all you curly-haired gals looking for a post-winter refresher, Ouidad's Botanical Boost is the ultimate nourishing tool. This lightweight leave-in conditioner is designed to soften, moisturize, detangle and fight frizz for healthy, bouncy curls.

This dramatic look is achieved by creating a smoky eye. Grey shadow (FashionIndie loves Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Gris) is used at the base while black is used to contour the outer corners and is also swept below the eye. Eyes are lined with liquid liner at the inner corners, upper lid and below the eye. A flesh tone shadow is used to highlight under the arch. After eyes are done, be sure to wipe under eye with a makeup remover wherever you see shadow out of place or smeared. Follow with a full-coverage foundation to match your skin color and a rosey blush on cheek bones. The look is finished with a bright red lipstick - the whole look pops!

Before blowdrying, apply mousse and volume spray such as Phyto Actif Volumizing Spray to give hair the hold it needs to keep your waves looking good all night. After blowdrying, use a 1 1/4 inch curling iron to create spiral-like curls, section by section in one inch pieces. After all the hair is curled, brush through each section with a Mason Pearson brush and use your fingers to create the wave you desire. If the hair is having problems taking to the wave, use a light pomade; dab a bit on your finger before shaping each wave. You can then play with the finished waves to shape them to your face. Whether you prefer a half-up or full-up look, you can do either and hold in place with a matching hair accessory.

Getting dolled up for the evening's festivities doesn't always mean an elaborate gown. A beautifully tailored jacket has the same elegant effect when it's adorned with a collar embellishment or metallic threads. Stella McCartney does it with scalloped lace and a deep V neckline, keeping things both sexy and refined.

We love all that crazy costume jewelry as much as you do, but forget about it for a minute while you let the real deal shine. If you want to channel Leigh's rich elegance, opt for a cocktail ring in gold or silver with the stone of your choice. We like this vintage Sterling Garnet Ring from Purple Daisy Jewelry.

Leigh's hair was pulled into a graceful up-do after most likely being styled with pin curls. For maximum staying power, place the pin curls while you hair is slightly damp. Before styling, add a mousse like Bumble and bumbles Curl Conscious Holding Foam so your hair stays in place and frizz free all day.

Put away that girly pink blush and grab something with a bit more shadow. Leigh used blush to contour her cheekbones and give them a deep, vampish appeal. NARS makes the best blush in town, and Taos is literally the perfect shade to master this look. The touch of shimmer gives it a modern, glamour girl feel.

This one explains itself, really. Choose a red that Goldilocks would go for - not too dark and not too bright but just right. Line your lips with a matching liner or the lipstick itself to create a full pout. To get this look, we're crushing on Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich Lipstick in Red Abundance.

Effie Trinket wants two things in life: to not be shamed by her District 12 tributes and to look fabulous all the time. During the reaping in 12, her rich plum ladysuit was complemented by striking reddish-purple eyes and lips. For the eyes, lightly dampen a brush and dot shadow along top and bottom lash lines. MAC Eye Shadow in Passionate is the perfect shade.

Cinna gave his prep team very specific instructions on how he wanted Katniss presented during the Hunger Games opening ceremony. She needed to look innocent, almost virginal, but catch the eye of every single soul in Panem. Light makeup with a touch of drama is the way to go. Adding a pair of falsies like Make Up For Ever Nude Eyelashes in 106 Jeanne are dramatic without being unduly over-the-top.

Katniss, Peeta and their teams always watched a playback of the evening's broadcast in a sitting room after dinner. Effie Trinket never lets her hair down, and it shows with her bright green curls and expertly made-up face. She's way ahead of the curve, rocking the Fall 2012 blue shadow trend. You can get the look too with Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Victim.

Caesar Flickerman, the cheerful interviewer of Hunger Games tributes, is always in style, changing the hue of his hair, lips and eyelids often. Perhaps his most memorable look is this cool blue coif, pushed up into a poof and back in a curly ponytail. And who knows candy-colored hair better than Manic Panic? Their "Classic" Cream Formula Hair Color in Shocking Blue will do you right.

This wonder tool has not one but three interchangeable ceramic barrels for all your styling needs. The no clip design means zero creases, and the included thermal glove prevents your fingers from being scorched in the styling process. We used this tool in the morning, and our curls bounced well into the night. That's some serious staying power!

This travel-size straightener may be compact, but it packs a mighty punch. Tourmaline-infused ceramic plates work to fight frizz, tame flyaways and add shine while the heat resistant cap means you don't' have to wait for the tool to cool before tossing it in your suitcase. Built-in auto world voltage makes your jet set options endless.

Japanese Kyocera Ceramic Technology mends and defends hair while this iron styles it in half the time of traditional clip irons. It won't be long before you have a head of sultry curls that stay put from morning to, well, morning. If you have fine hair that falls straight easily, this is the tool for you.

Whether you seek a straight, curly or seductively wavy mane, this classic tool from ghd is your one-stop-shop. Glide from roots to ends for a sleek look or wrap hair around the plates for curly goodness.

If you're looking to create a Mad Men-esque up-do of glamorous proportions, hot rollers are the way to go. These 12 ceramic-infused hot rollers create glam, ultra-smooth waves that last longer than the sponges of yore. Betty Draper is calling, and she approves.

Wash and condition your hair with products that will both moisturize and volumize. We love Alterna's sulfate- and sodium-chloride-free formulas, available at Sephora.

No styling product can give you sexy, beachy, bedhead waves quite like a salt water spray. Work a product like Bumble and bumble's Surf Spray through damp hair, being careful not to overwork the product for best results.

The best way to add waves and volume without pulling out your hot rollers or curling iron is with a diffuser. Attach this Conair Professional version to your hairdryer and turn your settings to low air, high heat. Use until hair is completely dry.

Get a frizz-free finish on your bedhead look by running a dry wax through your newly wavy hair. Carol's Daughter Macadamia Hold & Control Smoother protects hair from heat damage and provides a long-lasting hold without that sticky, crunchy feeling.

Voila! Now your have gorgeous bedhead waves a la Kate Moss.

Sophia was, and still is, all about the glitz and glamour. Step out for a night on the town in a fetching embellished strapless gown like this sparkling La Femme number.

Bombshells like Loren don't mess around when it comes to jewelry. Add some weight to your ears with 14 carats of sapphires and diamonds.

Ladies don't leave the house without some bounce in their coif. A set of modern, velvet-covered hot rollers like this set from T3 will get the job done in no time.

Sophia usually wore beautiful matte lipsticks in lighter pinks and reds. Recreate her pout with a hue like M·A·C Lipstick in On Hold.

Sophia's brows were always perfectly manicured. Get her bold, shipshape look with a shaping kit like Benefit's Brow Zings.

A bold color like the deep glistening blue, Tuxedo, or matte, Blue Label 997 will keep your dark side prowling.

The deep blue green, Nirvana 704, calls for more of a calm outcry, and the Perfecto is suited for a subtle gray.

And since we know the Dior team is kind of crazy, the Psychedelic Orange 545 is truly a head trip.

Acyl-Glutathione is scientifically formulated to combat accelerated signs of aging, including dryness, loss of elasticity, deep lines and wrinkles and fragile, thin-looking skin. Because of its light texture, the skin absorbs it quickly for immediate results.

Rather than injecting Botox into your face, why not reduce the appearance of eye area wrinkles with mimosa and fennel? Eighty-five percent of users saw an improvement - those odds are certainly in youthful favor.

Inspired by the first emulsion-based cream created to heal gladiators wounds, this anti-aging treatment is handmade in a monastery. Meadowfoam seed oil deeply hydrates and smoothes the skin, antioxidant-rich seabuckthorn berry oil protects and restores and anti-inflammatory beeswax soothes.

Looking for visibly brighter eyes in just seven days? Ten years of research and seven international patents don't lie - this gel-cream boosts "youth proteins" to reverse signs of aging from within.

You can go in a few different directions with this step. If your hair is on the fine, limp side, volumizing mousse would be best. If your hair is thick and carries a wave, saltwater-based spray is your friend. We swear by Bumble and bumble Surf Spray.

To achieve voluminous waves with none of the frizz, a diffuser is key. Conair Professional's Pro Universal Finger Diffuser is a great price and fits most hair dryers.

For extra separation and a piece-y, textured look, coating locks with a little hair wax goes a long way. Jonathan Product Dirt Texturizing Paste is a tried and true favorite - it does the job while sweet almond protein helps repair and strengthen hair.

Sweep hair into a haphazard ponytail, allowing shorter pieces to fall around and frame your face. Secure with a fancy elastic like one of these L. Erickson Ponytail Holders. Tease the top of the ponytail with a comb for extra volume. And there you have it - a perfectly tousled ponytail!

Whether lounging at home or covering those shoulders for a night on the town, a fur stole is a must for channeling Audrey's beguiling style. A vintage mink will do just fine, especially one like this beautiful pocketed version.

These gems may be from the 80s, but they possess the same elegance as the pair Audrey is so gracefully wearing. Not too big, not too small, and with a nautical touch - sold.

A strong woman keeps a strong brow, and Ms. Hepburn's certainly meant business. An expert consultation could be beneficial to get the right color for you, but Clé de Peau Beauté Eyebrow & Eyeliner Compact is our favorite by far.

Audrey rarely had a blood red lip - if you look closely in colored photos, her pout almost always had a tint of coral or orange. Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in stiletto is the perfect orange-red that will have you channeling her in no time.

Sweeping your hair into a perfect undo doesn't have to be a difficult task. The key is to get your strands to stay put without weighing them down. Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray adds volume, controls frizz and adds shine, all in a few sprays.

Purple eyeliner looks great on every eye color and skin tone, but is makes green eyes especially pop. Try using NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Bourbon Street to draw on a cat eye, paired with a deep plum lipstick.

If you have dark or olive skin, rich blue/green turquoise is sure to make your eyes pop. Laura Mercier Khol Eye Pencil in Black Turquoise looks perfect with light golden tone eyeshadows and a neutral lip.

Green eyeliner makes the cool tones in blue and green eyes pop and enhances golden flecks in brown eyes. A thick emerald line is all you need - finish Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Moss with black mascara and a bold orange lip.

Blue looks great on all eye colors, especially when paired with shadows from a neutral brown palette. Just make sure the line is super precise to avoid looking amateurish - Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Skater is quick and easy to use.

Just because it's covered with leggings and sweaters doesn't mean you should ignore the precious skin on your body. A soothing, nourishing oil like Tata Harper Skincare Revitalizing Body Oil regenerates dehydrated skin and soothes tired muscles. We especially love this product for its wholesome, non-toxic ingredients.

For those of you who thought you needed an oil-free cleanser to fight problematic skin, here's a beauty newsflash: Oil fights oil. A product like this Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil will gently remove makeup and clean the skin while maintaining natural moisture levels.

You'll never achieve a smooth complexion if you don't slough off dead skin cells a couple times a week. The classic Burt's Bees Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub exfoliates and polishes skin while it cleanses.

If you're currently not using a balancing toner as part of your everyday skincare routine, now is the time to start. A product like Clé de Peau Beauté Refreshing Balancing Lotion prepares the skin to accept hydration while minimizing pores and improving skin's texture.

Don't be fooled by low temperatures: the sun is still around and stronger than ever during cold months. Supergoop! SPF 30+ Save Face Serum With Uniprotect does double duty as a sunscreen and anti-aging serum that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

Perhaps the most obvious step of all, keep skin looking healthy and supple all through the winter by moisturizing twice a day. Skin by Monica Olsen Perfection-C Vitamin C Crème revitalizes your complexion while restoring elasticity.

Our bodies are composed mainly of water, so it's only wise to drink at least eight glasses a day. Rather than throwing away unnecessary funds on bottled water, invest in a ZeroWater Z-Pitcher. The company's breakthrough technology delivers better filtration than ordinary carbon filters.

For the girly girl with a happy-go-lucky personality, Especially Escada will allow your charming self to sparkle. Notes of Pear, Rose and Ylang Ylang are feminine and breezily modern.

Glamorous, sensual, provocative - three words to describe the woman wearing Dolce & Gabbana The One Lace Edition. Available for a limited time, get the seductive combination of Jasmine, Peach, Plum and Amber notes before it's gone.

Go on a power trip with Gucci Guilty, a fragrance for the bold, independent woman with a sexy edge. Rich notes of Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Amber and Patchouli create a young and stylish scent, just like its Italian namesake.

Glamorous, sophisticated and elegant is the woman who wears Tom Ford. The same must be said for Violet Blonde, a worldly fragrance with notes of Violet Leaf, Italian Mandarin, Baie Rose and Cedarwood Orpur.

For the classically feminine woman with a free spirit, DIANE will envelope the body and stay with you all the day through. Notes of Frangipani, Violet and Myrrh are powerfully seductive.

You didn't think he'd actually be wearing the eyeshadow did you? Bitch is fierce, but even Uncle Karl draws the line before a full face. Instead, we get a starry night palette embedded into his unmistakable silhouette.

Karl Lagerfeld also formally introduces his nail colors. Enter the dark sparkling palace of self promotion.

UV rays are strong at high altitudes, and they will nail you through the airplane windows. Slather on a full spectrum sunscreen before boarding the plane, and make sure to reapply if you sweat (gross but true). We love Arcona Rezone 40, and you will too.

Don't worry about putting this in your carry-on bag - the airplane bathroom sink is too small to wash your face anyway. Instead, have a gentle exfoliant at the ready the moment you check into your hotel to scrub away dead skin cells. We love Origins Modern Friction™ Nature's Gentle Dermabrasion.

Prevent lips and the delicate skin around them from drying out with an ultra-rich and hydrating lip balm. Rosebud Salve is always a lifesaver, even in the most unfavorable conditions.

Prevent hands from cracking under the pressure of a low humidity environment. Look for a lightweight but moisture-rich variety like CLEAN Shower Fresh Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Cream. The best part? This one keeps killing germs up to four hours after application.

The best way to refresh tired skin is with a few spritzes of a balancing facial toner. Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic soothes skin as it hyrdrates, and its nourishing formula is preservative-free.

As you refresh with a toner, make sure to moisturize your face and neck regularly. You skin will look refreshed and supple as you de-plane rather than dry and dull. As always, we're huge fans of Skin By Monica Olsen PERFECTION-C Vitamin C Crème for its revitalizing properties.

In a piece of art that imitates life, Karl Lagerfeld is standing in a world in which gold rains down upon him.

Translation:”My biggest luxury is to not have to justify myself to anyone.”

Go on girl, you don’t need to justify anything. Because those self-indulged snowglobes are sure to sell out fast. [WWD]

Masks

This hauntingly elegant black satin mask by NYC accessories designer Jade Chiu is just enough to make a statement on Halloween without a full-fledged costume.

“I take the ghetto ideas and make them mainstream,” Robson told WWD. All photos via Sophy Robson’s Tumblr So So Fly Nails.

Launching on Tuesday in Sephora stores, the kaleidoscope shaped bottle is targeted to 30-something year old women who are “urban, arty, and creative”.

He told WWD, “I love to play with words, as I love to play with scents. A fragrance is not made to be explained by words. A mix of scents creates something we can smell but not describe. I can tell you that the base is patchouli fraction orpur, benzoin Laos orpur, tonka bean and musk, and the heart (a perfume must have a heart that should break, in a way, our heart) is heliotrope (one of my favorite scents), violet and freesia. But I don’t want to be too technical about the fragrance. I prefer a sentimental approach.”  Sounds a bit over the top for our tastes, but being major Lagerfeld fans we have to show our support.  Would you buy it?

Diane joined 100 wrap-dress-adorned women to turn it out to Chaka Khan‘s “I’m Every Woman” before signing autographs at the Sephora flagship store on the Champs-Elysées. This is but one of many public appearance von Furstenberg is making throughout Europe to promote Diane: “Tomorrow I’ll be in Madrid, Monday in Lisbon, Tuesday in Warsaw and Thursday in Milan.” A lady’s work is never done, is it, DVF?[WWD]

Available in four different styles - two pairs of matte black patches called “Effet Velours;” one pair adorned with black Swarovski micro-crystals coined “Effet Brilliant;” and an embellished pair with Swarovski crystals at the corner of each eye named “Effet Haute Couture” – there is a style for every pair of discerning, dramatic peepers. You can grab them now at Sephora.com.

This haunting shot, taken by Illamasqua for their Theatre of Darkness collection, brings depth to the deep plum.

Take Kontrol of the color purple by using undertones of blue and gray. This will keep your pout dark and matte.

With a definite purple base, it rings dark and glossy. It thrives with a liner and stays forever.

Spicy cranberry goes on slick and glossy. It needs a matching lipliner to keep it in check.

Go deep cranberry for a new breed of fall red. Great for a fair complexion.

The deep chocolate lipstick surrounds the purplish inner gloss. Combined, they create a delicious shine that smolders.

This blueberry hue applies like blackberry. It's near black stays matte, yet glows purple.

The lip pencil stays put. It's dark and perfectly matte, emanating dry berry.

Use a brush!

It’s the way of the professionals. It allows the color to really get into the nooks and crannies of your pout. And it’s quite a lovely sensation to paint on your lips.

If you have an extra eyeshadow brush, you can dedicate it anew to lip application. When this happened to me, I sacrificed one of my existing brushes to the cause  [the i.d. | Bare Escentuals max coverage concealer brush], and it’s been working out great.

Or you can get serious about it and invest in an actual lip brush. Like this retractable version from Sephora, so you don’t get lipstick all over your purse.

*PRO TRICK* Once you discover the benefits of applying lipstick with a brush, you might take up this insider’s trick. Take your lipsticks out of the tube and compartmentalize them in a pill box or a crafter’s bead box. Not only is it a sure way to not lose a color, but it’s an easy way to see all your colors at a glance. Still want to be able to take it with you in the tube? Use floss to slice only part of the the stick into the box.

Et voilá! You’ve turned your lipstick’s manic meltdown around into something even better.

Kisses!

1. Dry shampoo. If you don’t have time for a full-on shower, dry shampoo is an amazing, underrated alternative to washing your hair. Ojon Full Detox™ Rub-Out™ Dry Cleansing Spray instantly cleanses and refreshes your hair and scalp without water. The invisible formula is ideal for all hair colors.

2. Leave-in conditioner. If you know you’re going to be out in the sun all day, using a leave-in conditioner is a great way to prevent locks from getting dry and frizzy. Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner is formulated without silicones, so it smoothes hair without weighing it down.

3. Hot oil treatments. If you have a big dinner or event coming up, it’s easy to make hair look radiant overnight. Comb a small amount of hair oil like Rodin Olio Lusso Luxury Hair Oil through your locks and wrap your head in a hot towel. Leave in overnight, and you’ll wake up to healthier-looking, more lustrous hair.

4. Hair sunscreen. As another preventative measure, use a sun protection spray before spending the day outside. Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray SPF 16 is light, refreshing and protects hair and scalp from harmful UVA/UVB rays with no sensation of stickiness or heaviness.

5. Revitalize & refresh. If your hair is curly or frizzes in the heat, use a product formulated specifically for your locks. A hair refresher like Ouidad Botanical Boost® Moisture Infusing & Refreshing Spray provides a blend of proteins and botanical extracts to preserve moisture, prevent frizz and enhance shine anytime throughout the day.

6. Tie it up. If all else fails, you can always wear your hair up to mask any drabness the day has put brought upon it. Check out our 8 Hair-Tie Alternatives to Up Your ‘Do and throw that hair tie out the window. If you’re looking for a cool tool to try one of the styles, we love this Madewell Plaid Prints Scarf.

Tell us your self-tanning horror story in the comments below and how you could make up for it with St. Tropez. Our favorite story will win you this amazing set of self-tanning products.

I got a chance to check out tan expert Sophie Evans at Sephora this afternoon demonstrating her skills in the St. Tropez Tanning Masterclass. What makes the perfect self-tan with no mistakes? Check out her answers below and comment for your chance to win these amazing products.

What makes for an even, non-streaky self-tan?
Self tans go streaky and patchy because people are scared to use them and try to spread a very little amount of product over a large surface area of skin. When it stretches, it streaks. Make sure the skin is covered with product and you can see it properly.

St. Tropez is built so it doesn’t streak. What makes it different from other self tanners out there?
It has a high level of tanning agent so the skin won’t need to absorb all of it. If there is not enough, that it when the tan looks patchy. As long as your skin is completely covered with the product, you can’t go wrong.

What’s the best way to make your self tan last as long as possible
Be gentle on your skin – pat it dry and don’t use harsh products. Sweat will make it fade faster as well.
