Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Scarlett Johansson is like a full-on model!
First, the Louis Vuitton ads, now the L'Oreal Preference campaign as well... What on earth is Giselle going to do?
ScarJo For Louis
ScarJo for L'Oreal
On top of these massive paying modeling gigs, our girl Scarlett is also dating uber hottie comedian,
Ryan Reynolds... life is SO unfair!

TGIF. Longest week in HIST. So I was recently introduced to online beauty retailer
Kaia House, and am impressed with their philosophy (from their website):
Unlike most traditional beauty stores, we believe in bringing only the best of each brand to our customers and only carry products that are both Safe and Effective, as well as Animal and Environmentally friendly. Your health and well-being is a serious matter, and for this reason, we consult the internationally recognized Environmental Working Group and their Cosmetics Safety Database to verify the safety of each ingredient in every single one of our products. From this database, we created our own safety guide for your reference called the “Most UN-wanted Listâ€, an extensive list of synthetic chemicals found in everyday products to avoid. I tried out
Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel (Full Strength - I don't mess around) and am so into it. It's a powerful hydroxy-acid complex of apple, lemon, grape juices, raw cane sugar and white willow bark that exfoliates skin for
visibly improved skin tone and texture. Vitamin antioxidants and essential nutrients hydrate and nourish fresh skin for a healthy, beautiful complexion. I slather the stuff on twice a week with the same zeal I once reserved for flirting with rowers while I was in college. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse off with a damp warm washcloth for best results. My skin was absolutely radiant (though makeup-free) all day afterwards. $39.
Enjoy your much-deserved weekend!
Love ya, mean it,

P.S. I hesitate to admit I got a 50% on Facebook's
Mean Girls Trivia quiz. Have you taken it? It was really hard! I'm so embarrassed.

Today I salute my fellow bookworms. In search of a perfume that would smell like a just-printed-just-received-from-amazon tome (a little acid, crisp, almost clean in a way), like an old, old book found in an antique bookstore (dump and a little incensey) or as an library in general, preferably The Bodleian Library in particular (a little musty, a little dusty, a little leathery, old-worldly,

So, as most of the world is well aware, The Spice Girls have launched a reunion tour.
New Songs? NOPE. New Member? NOPE. Loads of Money? OBVI!
What completely gets me is the fact that people actually
want to see the old Spice Girls lip syncing and shaking their cougar asses on stage!
Anyway, since this
is a beauty blog, I thought I'd bring you this juicy bit of beauty info:
- "Professional Make-Up Artist Maria Louise Featherstone, who is responsible for ensuring both Victoria Beckham (aka Posh) and Emma Bunton (aka Baby) look their best throughout the upcoming Spice Girls World Tour, has chosen Zoya polishes in a range of bright and fashionable, long-wearing colors for the tour. Look for Freja (gunmetal grey; pictured above), Lola (neon pink), Charisma (neon purple) and Roxy (purple glitter) on stage. Featherstone also stocked up on Zoya Anchor basecoat and Armor topcoat to ensure the girls manicures are perfectly maintained throughout the grueling show."
Fascinating, isn't it? So, if you're a Spice Girl fan, just dying to don the same nails as them, hit up the Zoya website (

If not, well, don't.

I'm just not in the MOOD today, you know? I'm on this really annoying "red carpet ready" diet this week for this black tie event I'm going to on Saturday and the fact that all I want to do is eat fries is really coloring my entire disposition. This week has been super busy at work followed by super busy night plans as well (all super-fun, obv, but tiring just the same. You know). Last night was no exception, I was invited to a champagne event with mini facials and makeovers at
Space NK Apothecary on 99 Greene Street between Prince and Spring in SoHo. It was unbelievably fab. My friend Stacey invited me and some of her friends from college to attend the reception, thrown by a headhunter vendor she works with. Far too much champagne was consumed. I was provided with a guided tour of every single product in the entire store which carries such faboo lines as Nars, Bumble and bumble, Dr. Brandt, By Terry, and so many more. Should you want to take a gander, make sure my fave new friend Ivica is working. He's so phenom and we were born just ONE day apart. Can you even believe? We bonded over our love for products and disdain for un-clever packaging. They also have a great Nars makeup artist there from whom I learned SO many tricks. For instance: when applying a shadow as eye liner with a brush, grab a small mirror and look down at it in order to get the brush super close to your lashline. You're welcome. Should you have an event, he does great work. Wish I could remember his name. It's a free service as well, although you should purchase a product or two.
Anyhoodle, I tried out
BY TERRY Baume De Rose SPF 15, a super hydrating, lightly glossy balm that is the lip balm equivalent of a cashmere sweater. Obviously the texture is nothing like a cashmere sweater, lest you picture spitting small fibers out of your mouth. No, no, that would be the opposite of phenomenal. Rather, it's faintly tinted with pink and is creamy and long-lasting. Love, love, love. Totally indulgent at $53 for 10oz, but it could make a darling holiday gift!

Melissa is hosting a faboo contest on her
blog. Just tell her in the comments section what your favorite Young Adult literature topics are (fashion, love, fantasy, sci fi, siblings, friends...?).
She'll reward one lucky commenter (chosen at random from a hat, of course) with Lancome's Color Fever Gloss in "Seductive." The packaging looks like the image on the bottom, and the color looks like the swipe. Good luck!
