Eyeshadow 101: Today's Theme is Purple
The makeup counters at department stores and the cosmetics aisle at Walgreens can be pretty overwhelming. It's super hard to know which colors to try and which ones go together. I thought I would try to help with this installment of Eyeshadow 101.

All Aboard! The Nars 2009 Autumn Colour Collection Is Here
Not only does this year mark the 15th anniversary for Nars Cosmetics, but last Monday was the highly anticipated launch of the brand new six-item Autumn 2009 Colour Collection. The inspiration behind the goodies came from none other than the young and precocious icon, Lolita.

Love It or Hate It? Jennifer Lopez's Purple Reign
Jennifer Lopez looked simply stunning as she attended Fashion Group International's 25th Annual Night of the Stars at Cipriani in New York this week. The superstar went for Grecian-inspired hair with a glossy roll piled high on the crown. A pulled back style, plus extra height suits J-Lo, perhaps because she always emits such an elegant air.

Coming Soon: Estée Lauder Vivid Garden Summer Color Collection
I can't say that I've been to a real, official afternoon tea in the garden. I can't say that I've even officially been to an afternoon tea — that is, unless you count my friend's baby shower in Ohio, where it was snowing outside, but we still enjoyed bite-sized treats like mini cucumber sandwiches and clotted cream in the comfort of indoors. Regardless, a garden-side afternoon tea sounds quite nice, don't you think?
Sunday Giveaway! Barbie Loves Stila Talking Palette
Go Barbie, it's your birthday. We're going to party like it's your birthday. From Fashion Week to a new collaboration with Stila, I'd say this 50-year-old doll is hotter than ever.
Trend Alert: Bright Lights, Bold Colour
This is the sumer of bright, bold colours and look-at-me makeup. Think peacock blue, cream eyeshadow, with cerise cheeks and raspberry lips.
At the Haute Couture shows, makeup artists were like magpies for the bright stuff – there were red berry lips at Valentino, lime and yellow eyeshadow at Dior and painted-ladies with purple eyes and bright red lips at Christian Lacroix.
How-To: Wear a Raspberry Lip Like Gwyneth
Gwyneth Paltrow was recently out and about in London attending a children's charity event. Singer Pink just wore a similar shade, too. Do I sense a trend here?
How-To: Leighton Meester's Cool-Toned Makeup
On Sunday, actress Leighton Meester attended the Henri Bendel and YSL Beaute celebration of Gossip Girl, season 2. Leighton keeps her look in the purple color family — and I can't help but love how her light lilac eyeshadow and soft magenta lips complement the color of her dress. The addition of a sun-kissed bronzer and a small burst of turquoise in her earrings complete this cool-toned look.
