Nice Packages
I’ve long faced up to it: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a sucker for new beauty products. Not only did I always want to be the first one on my block to try a new item or color, but I have to admit that most of my choices were based on how the products were packaged. I think it started with my mom’s Coty lipsticks — you know, the ones with the white and gold powder-puff print (designed by the Ballet Russes set designer Leon Bakst, no less) on the packaging. It was pretty and bright and colorful, and well, it spoke to me. And guess what? I still go for the sparkle.
I love the look of the YSL lip twins duo, which is a bauble in itself. You could practically wear it on a long chain.
The cellophane-wrapped glass atomizers in the Bond No. 9 Bon-Bon Box look like Christmas crackers . . . which meant that they were a perfect gift from me to me this holiday season. The set doesn’t even contain my favorite Bond fragrance, New York Fling, but hey, I had to have those bon bons!
Finally, I’ve been obsessed with the Guerlain Meteorites (available in loose powder form and in a compact) just because they’re so purdy. I finally bought both forms last year but I still don’t even know what the Meteorites look like on — I don’t want to crush the lustrous little orbs!

OMG, a kindred soul! I bought YSL’s Baby Doll and Britney’s Curious because of their pretty bottles. I’m still saving up for the Meteorites though. Good thing a favorite cousin gifted me with one of those Estee Lauder Zodiac compacts.

I was wondering… Me and a few of my fashionista girlfriends have a vote as which heels are the most comfortable. My vote is louboutin. As I see, you have many many heels, of many many brands, which is your favorite, and most comfortable brand and shoe? The top three right now is louboutin, prada, and jimmy choo. I would really like your opinion, as my shoe collection can’t ever attempt to stand up to yours.

Hmm… Good question, Faye! I have to give it some thought because to be honest my standard for shoe comfort is more like: Well, they don’t kill! But I’d say that yes, Louboutins are generally most comfortable. Pradas aren’t bad either (except the super high heeled ones) and Manolos are probably on the uncomfortable end (though beautiful!)…
