Kjaer Weis Sweetness Lip Tint

Coral is big this summer, and while I usually eschew trends, I'm embracing this one.  Why?

• Maybe Michael Marcus is right: brownish shades quit working as women get older (I am so over American Beauty Enduring Beauty™ Longwear Lipcolor in Chestnut Rose)
• Coral, like sandals, just seems so right for summer
• It's flattering to my skin tone

I recently purchased Lasting Finish Lipstick in 012 (coral) from Kate Moss's collection for Rimmel London and the red-coral lipstick that Poppy King created for J. Crew.  I like the Kate Moss lipstick better than the Poppy King lipstick because it doesn't spread beyond the lip line.

Here's another coral lip color I'm craving:

Kjaer Weis Lip Tint in Sweetness

Kjaer Weis Lip Tint in Sweetness is described as a "beautiful coral/orange, sheer lip tint."  It would be a nice alternative finish to the Kate Moss and Poppy King lipsticks.  I also like the one-of-a-kind packaging.

I interviewed Kirsten Kjaer Weis in November 2011.  Since then, she's added an online store to the Kjaer Weis web site.

NARS Andy Warhol Collection

It won't be out until October, but NARS has posted a teaser video for its Andy Warhol collection, as licensed by the Andy Warhol Foundation:

Which Warhol character do you think will make an appearance in the collection?  I'm banking on Edie Sedgwick.  Jane Forth should be another character.

Is Kate Moss still with Rimmel London?

I was a bit confused by this ad featuring Kate Moss for Dior Addict lipstick:

Kate Moss for Dior Addict Lipstick

Doesn't Kate represent Rimmel London?  What about future Kate Moss lipstick collections that Rimmel London promises?  Did Kate jump ship?

Kate Moss for Rimmel London Lasting Finish lipstick

Check out the similarities between the two ads.  The way Kate is holding her hand is nearly identical in the two ads.

Rimmel London's PR rep assures me that Kate is still with Rimmel London and she will be coming out with more lipstick collections with Rimmel London in upcoming seasons.  That's good news - I like Lasting Finish Lipstick in 012 (coral) from Kate's collection - even better than the coral lipstick that Poppy King created for J. Crew.

Surprising Gina Lollobrigida talent

Flori Roberts Cosmetics (one of the first cosmetics lines to cater to women of color) posted this picture of Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida to Facebook:
