what's on my nails?
i've been having a bit of a mad love affair with nail polish lately, but that's nothing compared to michelle at All Lacquered Up, the original nail polish fanatic blog. she's been blogging exclusively about (and swatching exclusively about) polish for years.
this week she features an interview with me(!) in her "what's on your nails" segment. head on over to learn more about my do's and don'ts for nails this season. i'm surprisingly opinionated!

lancome brings us more good vibrations - oscillation powerfoundation.
vibrating makeup is having it's heyday. the newest pulsating product on the market is lancome's oscillation powerfoundation - a micro-vibrating mineral foundation.
the essential element of this powder foundation is a vibrating pad applicator. faster than a little hummingbird, oscillation powerfoundation boasts 7000 microvibrations per minute. this enhanced motion certainly aids in even blending, plus it's like a fun little face massage.
is vibrating foundation a must-have? certainly not, but for someone who is newer to foundation it might help them master the sometimes confusing art of blending. $48 at lancome-usa.com.
editor's note: in accordance with the ftc regulations, please be advised that a sample of the product mentioned was provided to MakeupLovesMe.com.

st tropez gradual tan mousse review.
while it is unseasonably warm in nyc right now (thank you, weather gods!), i have been forced to accept summer is officially over. and with that i must also accept that my skin is back to it's pre-summer shade, also known as very fair.
i've been through many a gradual tanner -- but so far st. tropez gradual tan mousse is my favorite to date. my main gripe with self tanners is that if it goes wrong, it can go very wrong. you can end up streaky or strangely colored for days, with no antidote in sight -- there is no way to undo the damage of bad self tanner. this mousse, however, has a very natural color, and the daily application it builds a color base, which makes streaks less of an issue than a product applied one time would.
after a week and a half of use my legs are restored to their height of summer shade. $30 at st.tropeztan.com.

cure your stiletto feet!
i'm that girl you see out in ridiculous shoes. i wish i had a thing for purses, instead of shoes, as i imagine that would be much less painful. but we are who we are, right?
as a result of my shoe love my feet take a bit of a beating. the kind of beating that ordinary lotion doesn't erase -- and believe me, i've tried a lot of foot lotions. they all smell like a peppermint, but none of them works as well as deep steep candy mint foot stick.
this balm is just the right texture -- rich enough that it actually softens up my feet, and quickly absorbing so it's not just globbed on my feet for the next several hours after application. best part? $4.99(!) at fragrancenet.com.

what's kourtney kardashian drinking during pregnancy?
you all know how i like to eat and drink myself pretty.
my newest find in this arena is the village tea company's duo oolong ginger orange & ginseng. this natural, fresh tea is filled with good-for-you vitamins and tastes like candy. i'm working on drinking a cup each day after lunch instead of dessert.
i'm not the first beauty seeker to be drawn to village tea company - kourtney kardashian has been loving their decaf varieties during her pregnancy. and my french roomie (and we all know about the crazy appeal of french women) is addicted.
$14.95 for 1.6 oz (12-15 cups) at www.villageteaco.com.

axe enters the next frontier - hair.
the label for axe's new smooth & sophisticated look shine pomade reads "fact: girls don't like crusty, crunchy hair...". i have to agree that that is a fact, and our mLm male correspondent adds that it's also a fact that men don't like to use hair products designed for women. these combined facts explain the need for axe's newest product line, axe hair crisis relief.
axe's newest foray includes a 6 shampoo+conditioners (including one to fight the #1 guy hair problem of dandruff) and 4 styling products. our male correspondent has been loving the pomade - he's even been carrying it around in him bag with him! he raves that the hold is long-lasting and even works on humider days. if the guy in your life is stealing your hair supplies, it may be time to invest in axe hair crisis relief, each product will run you under $10.

studio beautymix is now in nyc and online!
santa monica's makeup and skincare haven, studio beautymix, finally has an east coast branch.
thursday nite i hopped down to soho to check out the new studio beautymix, located within the korres store at 110 wooster street. founder robin coe-hutshing travels the globe and hand-selects the items featured in the store - so you get the best products and by the best brands. this detailed selection leads to a more relaxing shopping experience than one has picking over the more generic offerings of say, sephora. i saw some of my absolute favorites at studio beautymix - like lip venom, kai and memoire liquide - and i didn't see anything i've tried and hated.
bonus for those of you on neither coast, they are now offering their stock online at studiobeautymix.com.
editor's note: image shown is of the santa monica location.
