The shows have officially kicked off! Here’s a look at some of the stand-out looks thus far (expect more daily updates!) -
Z Spoke by Zac Posen: A full brow, a crimson lip, and dusty black shadow reaching almost to the lash line…Who can focus on the clothes when Crystal Renn looks so incredibly stunning?
Rachel Comey: Light makeup, side parts, and cropped dos make for school boy-like looks at Rachel Comey.
BCBG Max Azria: Sleek ponytails were the perfect complement to the relaxed, retro-70s silhouettes shown on the runway (weren’t sheer pleats in the show great?).
Steven Alan: Soft and natural with popping lips at Steven Alan.
Nicholas K: Long gothic bobs and cowboy hats…OK, why not (for the runway…)!

Like large eyes and flushed cheeks, eyebrows are a sign of youth! We begin losing the ends of our brows from hormones starting at age 30, and without them, we look about 80 years old. At least most of us do –Tilda Swinton rocks the look, as did somber-faced models at the recent Sara Coleman show in Madrid. The bleached-out look was big at the Spring 2011 shows, and models Lara Stone and Abbey Lee can pull off the no-brow look with ease. The key is having ultra-fair hair and skin.
But I’m still of the mind that everyone looks better with them – they frame the face and put your other features in proportion. Whichever look you opt for, heavy or nearly non-existent, young girls take note: do not tweeze or touch your brows without consulting a professional (I know this from experience). So how do you feel about the no-brow look? A trend that should have passed long ago or an enduring look for some?
I just stepped out of the shower after using Hot Salt Scrub by Bliss, and I swear I feel five pounds lighter! This rough-grain salt scrub seriously sloughs like a power sandblaster (but, of course, is much more pleasant). I made sure I scrubbed for a while to ensure getting 100% of the effects, and I think I actually got 110% (since I can’t scrub my face, I’m making up for it by taking it out on my body!).
Although it consists of eucalyptus, lavender, and rosemary oils, it is not oily (scrubs that are oily tend to be messy, and leave me feeling like I’ve added a layer of gunk to my skin, instead of removing it). This exfoliating gel keeps the salt adhered to your skin so you don’t lose it as you’re sloughing. It’s also self-heating, so it gives you a little warm massage while you scrub. And this does wonders to ease achy muscles and a tired soul – and the attack on your rough skin is mind-blowing.
I make sure the shower is nice and hot before I step in. I then turn it off and do all my scrubbing. When I’m ready to rinse, on goes the warm shower (instead of startling cold) and all the salt washes away. What I’m left with is the softest, smoothest skin I have felt since my babies were born – I kid you not. Such soft skin that you’ll think you’re touching someone else’s!
Hot Salt Scrub is also the greatest detox you can do. If you feel a cold coming on, use this hot scrub, take a hot shower, and crawl into bed with a big cup of hot water, and the sun will surely come out tomorrow.
Use it before shaving and you will reduce ingrown hair, and have the best shave ever – plus, your body will be absolutely, perfectly smooth. This is my new favorite bath item by far! At Sephora for $36.
