Modern Mix Man – Kiehl’s No Shine Lip Balm
Ideal for dry, parched lips, this product moisturizes with jojoba oil and shea butter; soothes and protects against cold weather. At $12, it’s great value for money. There is also a slight peppermint scent to it, for refreshed lips to go with fresh breath. The no-shine formula keeps the lips moisturized with a matte finish, in a well-kept manly way, without that glassy lipgloss look. You can test it on the back your hand at the Kiehl’s store just to make sure!

BCBGMAXAZRIA – Spring 2011 Collection
At the beginning of spring, I went to a press event for BCBGMAXAZRIA to see what trends were in store for the upcoming 2011 season. I was also the lucky winner of a $1000 shopping spree to BCBGMAXAZRIA (which I have mostly spent) so I am well-equipped and greatly familiar with BCBGMAXAZRIA’s Spring 2011 collection.
The BCBGMAXAZRIA colour trend for 2011 consists of an overall dusty pastel pink, grey, white and cream color scheme. Various contrasting feminine materials were set side by side in comparison: eyelet and stiff lace patterns in feminine tops, tulle paired with lace and large floral patterns.
