Lip Kits are being restocked next week per Instagram. If you want to be considered a rock star mom grab one for your daughter (or yourself, the colors are pretty although the aesthetics have gotten mixed reviews). They will sell in a flash like last time. There is a new purple shade called Kourt K. Kylie Cosmetics...

The Jenner this time with a new collaboration is actually not Kylie but Caitlyn. She will launch (April 7th) a MAC Cosmetics rose lipstick called Fittingly, Finally Free. 100% of sales from the lipstick, which will retail only online at MAC's site for $17, will go to the M.A.C. AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative to further its work in support of transgender communities. Click HERE for more info....

The aesthetic vibe I get from the new Milk Makeup products is 50% farmer market fresh 50% city downtown cool. I have not yet tried the multi-use paraban-free products to comment on them. The advertising and packaging are cute. The prices are really good. I am not sure what is really new about them, multi-use and paraban-free products have been around a while. Plus their claim of "high concept" like goop's skincare line "high performance" means nothing. That being said, the overall concept does look, sound really fun for Summer and who doesn't want to feel like they are a pretty, super cool kid? Click here to browse Milk Makeup. Prices: $18-$30.

When my friend met me for lunch with this buttery soft leather Mansur Gavriel accessory it was love at first sight so I ordered it online, wrapped it and put it under the Christmas tree for myself.  I got exactly what I wanted. It reminds me of Saint Laurent. I get a lot of compliments on it and it is the perfect wristlet for hands free mom running around as well as for night. Pop in keys, money, cell, gloss - done. I have it in black but the new pink color would be nice for Spring and Summer. Barney's Mansur Gavriel Large Pink Wallet $190...

Here is my first selfie and maybe my last. Ha ha. The "Before" selfie was taken outside in the sun. The "After" includes one change by selecting "lavendar" via Perfect365 and saving it in low res. It is a subtle difference and I like it. Please share your thoughts in comments below. For a review of three other perfecting selfie apps: Facetune, Photo Wonder, Whitagram - click here Best Apps To Take Selfies. My makeup in the photos above is minimal and includes the e.l.f. liquid eyeliner mentioned here In The Mood For Speed in the outside corners of the upper eyelid, a tiny smudged mix of Rimmel London twist up Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in Deep Ocean + Exaggerate Smoke N'...

Barbie's got a new look. My favorite is the all white outfit, gold bracelets, pink lips, subtle smoky eye. There's nothing simpler and nicer than all white and a tan or gold sandal for Summer. Barbie Images From Byrdie...

While shopping at lululemon, a cute cashier wore this new Essie nail polish shade, and was getting tons of compliments. She described it as her dinosaur color LOL. It's a fun transition shade for right now if you are seeking a change but are not yet ready for summer pastel metallics. I would never think to wear this but it looked really good on her very short nails and all neutral outfit. Gel polish available in drugstores now....

A dear friend has asked me for quick fashion and beauty edits in her price range, because she is always so crunched for time as a working mom. She also thought that Rebecca Minkoff wasn't in her budget (see my previous post Runway Show, Rebecca Minkoff SS16). I told her that RM is actually priced lower/similarly to DVF a brand she likes so she was surprised, and I thought I should post this to let others know. For RM Sale click HERE and for RM new arrivals click HERE. I will keep my eyes wide open - they have been featured on The Outnet and at Off 5th in the past. As for Spring trends: I would stick with the bold gold jewelry,...
