Looking for the perfect gift? Take a peek at Beauty in New York City's 2015 Holiday Gift Guides. As a beauty editor, I love a good beauty set just as the next person. My favorite time of the year for beauty shopping is definitely the holidays. From the beautiful packaging to the insane discounts, it's the most exhilarating time to shop for new beauty. Here are the beauty gifts on my holiday wishlist, including a few non-beauty items! Violet Grey Iconic Nudes Set, $65 I love a good nude lip and this set includes one of my favorites from Charlotte Tilbury. Violet Grey has a great collection of holiday gifts and this set is my dream! The Iconic Nudes Set comes with a nude lipstick, nude nail polish from YSL, and a sleek white pouch to carry it all around.
La Prairie 'Reflections of Radiance' Set (Limited Edition), $870 La Prairie is another brand I fell in love with in 2015. Their skincare products are super luxurious and I can feel a difference in my skin immediately after using. The Reflections of Radiance Set includes my favorite Cellular Radiance line. This gift has a steep price point, but it's worth it.
It's important to prep lips before you apply a lip product. I love using fresh's sugar lip treatment prior to lipstick. These are nude, rose, and honey tinted!
With Christmas quickly approaching, it's crunch time to purchase those last minute gifts. I find that $50 and under is my sweet spot when shopping for gifts. Here are my top $50 and under picks for the season.
Glossier is easily my new favorite brand of 2015. I adore the packaging and the products are getting better and better. This set includes six single serving pods of their best-selling detoxifying Mega Greens Galaxy Pack and six of their Moisturizing Moon Mask. Special bonus: a Glossier embroidered headband!
A lip set with Studded Kiss lipsticks, featuring new limited-edition shade Gold Blooded and seven mini lip colors. Plus, the studded bottoms are perfect to find at the bottom of your purse.
I recently met with the founder of Skyn Iceland and I was really impressed by how much time and effort goes into creating this unique brand. Many trips to Iceland and ingredients later, the brand continues to innovate. This kit has two of my favorite products - Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels & Icelandic Relief Eye Pen. Whenever my eyes are looking too tired and need a bit of a boost, these are my go-to products.
A special-edition holiday set that combines HUM's popular Red Carpet for glowing skin and fuller shinier hair, and Skinny Bird, a unique weight loss program.
The holy grail of makeup sponges now comes in a limited edition set for the holidays. The set features the new micro.mini beauty blender (perfect for under eyes), bling ring dry stand, solid cleaner, and the rehydrator.
The new Stella Eau de Toilette is inspired by the idea of a fresh, dewy rose captured in the morning sun. Underscored by sparkling green notes, this bright and bold composition embodies a young, fresh fragrance.
What's your price point sweet spot during the holiday season?

The
beauty world just got some exciting news – Louboutin is launching a luxe lipstick
collection this September! Christian Louboutin shook up the beauty industry last
August when he revealed his Rouge
Louboutin nail polish collection. Now the beauty line is expanding into
lipsticks – at $90 a pop!
The lipsticks will be available in three different textures - Silky Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile. The Silky Satin lip color collection will include 20 shades, while the Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile lip color collections will include 9 shades. All collections will include a Rouge Louboutin shade (modeled after the classic red sole) in a black casing. All other lipsticks will be in gold casing.
To launch this stunning collection, Christian Christian Louboutin wasn’t inspired by lipstick as an object, but by the attitude it conveys. “When a woman carries a handbag, we look at her shoulders. When she slips on a pair of heels, we observe her walk. If she applies lacquer to her nails, we admire her hands. With its slow circular application, lip make up becomes a rich and sensual gesture. Whether accentuating or mattifying the lips, this little object has the ability to transform the entire face.” He also drew inspiration from many glamorous names, including the legendary Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, whose name literally means "the beautiful one has arrived."
Christmas is only 16 days away and I am still picking up last minute gifts. How's your list coming along? I keep shopping for myself (oops) and you know I feel about gold. Nothing is better than a little glam for the holidays. Here are my top gold picks for the season. See anything you like?
Check out these buttery smooth lipsticks from Hourglass Cosmetics. The packaging is sleek, luxurious and sexy. Seen above from left to right: Peace, Vintage, Mural, Fawn, and Icon. I can't get over how amazing they feel. The best part? Each lipstick is water-resistant, long-lasting, and paraben-free. Can you say winning?
Say hello to Buxom's latest launch - Full Bodied Lipstick. These gorgeous lipstick hues are smooth, creamy, and ultra-hydrating They offer major plumping effect without the usual tingle. Packed with shea butter, coconut oil, chamomile flower wax, and vitamins C and E, these lipsticks have everything you need to last all day long.
Nude makeup has always been my thing, so when I discovered the gorgeous products in Napoleon Perdis line, I knew I had to have it all. I had heard of this brand prior to trying these goodies above and mostly knew of them from their stunning bronzer ads. I was always intrigued and you can clearly see why. Keep reading to see what I tried and loved.
I can hardly believe its been a little over a year since I started this blog. It all began June 2011 with my first blog post. I can't even begin to thank everyone for all the support and love. It's been an amazing year filled with memories I'll cherish forever. Attending New York Fashion Weekand landing a job in Social Media are probably my biggest accomplishments so far. Thanks for reading Beauty in New York City!Here's to another amazing year together. What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway!
When a fashion line comes out with a cosmetics line I always wait a while to review. My thoughts are it could go two ways -- the products can be awful or they can be amazing. Luckily, Burberry did it right. I'm throughly impressed with the entire line. I was fortunate enough to win a makeover at the new Saks Burberry counter with the lovely Justin. The makeover went amazing and I left impressed. You can see photos of the new Saks counter here. I was gifted these items after my makeover and loved the quality. Keep reading for swatches!
I've become a huge fan of Bite Beautyover the past few months. The brand has amazing lip products and their lipsticks are silky smooth. Summer is here and it's still extremely important to take care of your lips. Some (like myself) still suffer from chapped lips during the warmer months. My solution? Bite Beauty lip treatments. If you haven't tried these, you have to check them out. Your lips will thank you.
Giorgio Armani Beautycaught my attention when they launched a new line of lip sheers. These new hydrating lip colors are creamy, lightweight and translucent. The bold color is stunning, but never drying and as hydrating as a balm. The color formulation process features a color shine moisture polymer, which is a revolutionary component able to retain twice its volume of water and enhance color luminosity while locking in hydration on the lip surface for over 8 hours. It comes in three shades of orange, three shades of red, three shades of pink and three shades of purple.
Pantoneis the world renowned authority on color and they've chosen Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012. Tangerine Tango is a reddish orange that proves to be bold, bright and beautiful. Makeup brands are all over this trend especially Sephora who collaborated with Pantone on a few very special limited edition products such as eyeshadows, blushes, brushes, eyeliners and more. Incorporating this look into your own personal everyday day is as easy as adding a quick orange lipstick, a touch of eyeshadow or a pop of blush. Below are a few products to help you achieve any look to match this year's hottest trend.
There is always a moment when you find a lipstick that you know you're gonna love forever. That's what happened to me when I discovered Nars Schiap. I saw the color and thought, "Hmm.. maybe." Then I put it on and instantly fell in love. It's described as a "semi matte shocking pink" and I believe that's what helps it be a best seller. It's semi matte not matte, so not to drying as some lipsticks can be. Although it's a shocking pink, it's a perfect bright pink that is actually wearable. I get so many compliments when I wear this one and I love that I don't have to reapply. It wears FOREVER on me (seriously...) and just looks amazing.
It's been an exciting time for Spring beauty trends. We're seeing bold lips, naked skin, fierce brows and hot cheeks. The color of the year is tangerine tango according to pantone. I always get excited when I hear new products are launching from Smashbox. They tend to be the innovators of the industry with new camera ready products perfect for that flawless look.
Laura Mercierknows how to launch a Spring collection. It screams COLOR! I love the way beauty transcends into Spring. All of sudden pops of color appear on the runway, magazines and then on the streets. Already in New York, I see women with corals on the lips and bold cheeks. You start to see vibrant pinks, bright oranges and playful coral. I was ecstatic when I saw this collection. It has everything you need to get through Spring fully prepared.
I picked up three lipsticks from the MAC Shop Mac, Cook Mac collection: Innocence Beware!, Naughty Saute and Quick Sizzle. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
