Anne Hathaway’s new (short) hair

anne-hathwayThe hottest Hollywood hairstyle these days? Anything cropped.  For her new film role, One Day, Anne Hathaway has joined the ranks of other pixie cut-lovers like Carey Mulligan and Emma Watson. Only Hathaway’s new chopped off hairstyle is more boyish than fairy. I preferred her shoulder-length feminine hair (but i’m partial to long hair).  What do you think of Hathaway’s new sideswept bob?

Beaty beat: Black magic

o-noir1 One might think that after seeing allllllllllll the beauty tricks that pass through our offices, the novelty would wear off but thanks to the nature of the  industry  getting bored is hardly an occupational hazard. Sometimes, they even manage to surprise you.

I’m a lipstick girl. Gloss’ sticky factor doesn’t appeal to me in the least but leave it to  Smashbox’s O-Gloss Noir to change my mind. A sister gloss to the original O-Gloss Noir, this limited edition lip smacker goes on black initially until it blends with your skin’s chemistry to reveal a customized crushed berry hue. Yielding the perfect just-been-kissed effect, we couldn’t deny ourselves this magic trick!

$22 at Sephora

Drew Barrymore dabbles with ombré locks

drew1Oh boy.

I like Drew Barrymore. I like that she’s best buds with Cameron Diaz and that she sort of has this no-fuss approach to stardom…or so it seems. Lately she’s been gracing the covers of a few notable American glossies like Nylon and ELLE most recently and the April 2009 issue of W magazine featured an editorial that is hardly forgettable in my mind, especially for what we’re used to seeing Drew do.

I get it, she’s exploring her style options and up until now everything she’s tried out has pretty much coasted by my radar. Until now. We’re loving ombré hair this season. It looks great on Jessica Biel and Rachel Bilson. But it was only a matter of time that someone tried the trend out and succeeded in making it look more avoidable that covetable.

What do you think of Drew’s take on the ombré trend? (vote below)

Starry nights with Chanel’s Paradoxal

chanelparadoxal-2

First it was Black Satin. Then it was Jade and Particulière followed by this summer’s Nouvelle Vague. There’s no question that Chanel has been leading nail polish trends over the past few years, with some even arguing that they illustrated their cool factor as early on as 1994 with the cult shade, Vamp. The coveted brand’s latest must-have hue is Paradoxal (pictured) and it’s catching polish fiends off guard with the shimmery constellation-like results it yields. But rest assured, LOULOU’s self-proclaimed nail polish obsessed editors “promised” the It hue looks far more “out there” in bottle than it does lacquered on fingers tips. Phew! We thought we might have to justify how in the span of just one season we went from swearing off shimmery lacquer to wholeheartedly advocating it.

But don’t get too settled with this latest vampy hue– Chanel’s already onto the next best thing (like any trend setter would be). Their Khakis– a quartet of mossy shades– are just hitting shelves and with a wait list that’s already growing exponentially we’re sure these camo’ hues are the next best thing.

Is Paradoxal for you?
