Crystal Who’s up for a little window shopping?
September 9th, 2011 Crystal I. Love. Makeup. There, I said it (as if it wasn’t obvious!). But I don’t have the funds to shop to my heart’s content. So what’s a girl to do? Window shop of course. And with a new season comes new makeup colors and textures, and skincare innovations to make you drool. Here are my current cravings, courtesy of beauty mecca, Sephora. Get inspired!
Josie Maran R.E.M Pen – Rapid Eye Makeup Pen – A sleek, pen-shaped component that contains an Argan Gel Liner with brush and a coordinating Argan Eye Shadow shade for a perfect on-the-go eye. Josie’s signature ingredient argan oil is infused to give both the gel liner and the eye shadow antiaging benefits. I love multi-tasking products, and this one is no exception. Josie also makes fabulous lip glosses that leave lips moisturized, not sticky. Plus 1 for natural beauty! $32
Skincare Advice from a Board-Certified Dermatologist
September 8th, 2011 Crystal 
With the exception of the blessed few, we’ve all found ourselves desperate for clearer skin and a miracle cure that can make it happen. Ask me about a skincare brand, and chances are, if it’s for acne-prone skin, I’ve tried it. But some skincare problems require a visit to the dermatologist, which can be costly. If you’d like skincare advice, but can’t pay to see a dermatologist, check out this list of skin aggravators AND myths below, courtesy of Dr. Sandra Lee, board-certified dermatologist.
Skin Aggravators
Trying to scrub away acne: Acne is not a hygiene problem; it’s a hormonal issue. Excessively cleaning your face won’t get rid of acne. Instead of attempting to scrub your pimple-prone skin into submission, wash it gently with a foaming face wash that’s designed to lift off dirt without irritating skin. And if you do feel compelled to enlist a scrub, use it no more than once a week, choosing a product that has even-sized, round beads, not rough particles.

Marc Jacobs + Minx = Mischievous Manis for Fashion’s Night Out!
September 7th, 2011 Crystal 
You’ve all heard of Minx right? Minxis the go-to manicure for celebrities and fashionistas alike. Minx is a revolutionary film that adheres to nails using heat, instead of chemicals or glue, and lasts up to 4 weeks! So what’s better than a Minx manicure? A Minx manicure designed by the always-cool Marc Jacobs! This year, for Fashion’s Night Out, Marc by Marc Jacobs will be giving away custom Minx nails with any Marc Jacobs purchase at Saks New York Fashion’s Night Out Event, Bloomingdales Soho Lucky Magazine Event, and Bloomingdales 59th Street Grand Reopening Event. Famed New York celebrity nail stylist Lisa Logan will be offering professional applications.
Sadly, I’m in SF, so if anyone can get me a pack of these babies, I will be forever indebted to you! 
The very-exclusive collection comes in five prints based on Marc’s fall collection, two floral prints, and a yellow and black zig-zag that is sure to stop traffic.
