I can’t believe that prior to attending the lia sophia suite during New York Fashion Week that I knew little to nothing about the worldwide company that sells its jewelry only through Independent Advisors. Upon checking out the latest offerings, I realized there were a ton of fashion forward selections at affordable price points. I was given the opportunity to choose something for the taking, and went with the Cone Bracelet along with these Standing Ovation Earrings (both pictured) as lately I have found classy hoops irresistible.
Every product has a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, which is a great thing, considering if you’ve ever dropped a piece of jewelry that has literally broke before your eyes (I’m a klutz, so this has happened to me on more than one occasion!). Check out lia sophia, as I bet you’ll be hard pressed to not find at least one piece you’d like to own!

Maybelline can do no wrong in my book, so not surprisingly, I am really into their newest FIT Me! Collection that includes five different products: concealer, foundation, pressed powder, blush, and bronzer. Within each of these, there are a plethora of color matches; for example the foundation, which is the most expensive item at $7.99, comes in 18 shades in a numbering system that starts in the 100s (I am 115 — the second to the lightest) and through the 300s.
What’s so special about this new line? It’s a simple idea, really: it’s is supposed to blend and enhance skin tones in a tailor-made color match system. As Maybelline makeup artist Gato told me backstage during New York Fashion Week, “you wouldn’t want someone to say, “what a great foundation!;” what they should be saying is “what great skin you have.”
This epitomizes the new collection, which you should definitely check out, as it is already available at mass market retailers.
