In The Ezine

Lovely Linda

Lovely Linda–Evangelista, that is….shows she has managed to weather all sorts of storms from aging (43) to Kyle MacLachlan (Showgirls). Many kudos to Prada for making her the new face of their fashion collection. As well as getting some insight as to their staple consumer.

Christy Turlington — also a mega model — is currently featured in ads for Escada.

Prada Lip Gloss

Individually wrapped Prada lipgloss

First of all, for the Japanese market (and yes, Motoko, this means you) it’s the perfect solution. Individually wrapped, no cooties there…..however, in all the five-seven years that YYC has been making our every 10 weeks pilgrimages to Tokyo, WE’VE NEVER SEEN THESE IN STORE?

Now, we have purchased some ourselves to distribute like party favours….but who made the brilliant corporate decision to market these in Mexico and Greece, but blow off Japan?

Someone is missing the point.

These little tubes of gloss are impractical for the most part–the expense makes them questionable. The two key sales features are: novelty and cleanliness.

Oh well.

They also do individualized skin treatments and foundations—same concept. Same lack of shipment to Tokyo.

Duh

Besame

Besame Vanity Case palette by Gabriela Hernandez

Oh PLEASE call this ‘Bé samé — these Spaniards get pretty testy.

Okay, I bought this since I am a make up junkie. I lost my Prada zip closure makeup case somewhere between LAX and NRT (Tokyo)….I still haven’t figured out the contents that I lost.

Anyway, this palette was purchased at Bendels–oh Mecca of undiscovered cosmetics. It features a powder blush, shadows and a couple lip stick/gloss hues in a harmonious tone of natural/pink. I also bought a matching lipstick that is shaped like a 9mm round (that should put the fear of God in you), but it may be in my Glock chamber since I can’t find it.

That said, I’ve never used the compact, but for those of us still looking to find the new or unusual, this certainly is one of those.

Better yet….skip the first floor and hunt for Jules on four–there’s probably something new in fashion that you can’t live without….tell her Yumyum sent you.
