Eye Candy: Kevyn Aucoin Loose Shimmer Shadows

Kevyn Aucoin Loose Shimmer Shadows in Topaz, Rose Quartz and Citrine.

Kevin Aucoin Loose Shimmer Shadows in Lapis and Jade.

The new Kevyn Aucoin Loose Shimmer Shadows light up eyes with a subtle, alluring dash of sparkle. These easy to blend, buildable shadows are simple to use with the product's rollerball applicator. You could apply the Citrine shadow on the crease and then roll the Lapis shadow, which is a blueish-violet shade, fully across your eyelids for a high contrast look. Worn alone, they are fabulous for soirees or any occasion that calls for flirtation.

Buy It: Kevin Aucoin Loose Shimmer Shadow ($28), available at Barneys and the Space NK counter inside Bloomingdale's at 59th Street and Lexington.

I Laughed Tonight...

...when I noticed that the Cherry Blossom Girl has posted a picture of herself in floral embellished shoes, similar to the ones I just snapped photos of at Forever 21 a few hours ago.

For women on a tight budget, I thought these high heels would work for a New Year's Eve party. The price tag: $22.81.

Hers are Valentino, and so obviously of better construction. But you could "make do" with this pair for an evening.
