Forget about neutral tones for the colder months, such as your basic black and cream — rich saturated hues inaugurate the fall season with a collection inspired by travels in South America and particularly the Venezuelan islands of Los Roques. Stand-out pieces include those covered in ikat prints, angular sleeves, and touches of metallic.

Build your own set of fabulous jewelry with matching essie polish at Baublebar this month! A $50 set gets you a small silver carrying case stuffed with a shade of polish, and three bracelets of your choice. I went with the “Snap Happy Set;” — what will you choose? Layering coordinating bracelets with a great nail hue for a pop of color has never been easier – seriously!
As of this month, essie has created an incredibly cool textured stickers collection inspired by the runway with pre-cured colors that can last up to 10 days. The 12 pattern collection are also easier to remove than other lon-lasting options like gel polish, since you can easily soften them up with a little cuticle oil and peel off when you’re through with them.
The essie sleek stick collection retails for $10.25 — enter your zip code here to find a mass retailer near you that carries the new essie sleek stick designs.

What makes Clinique‘s latest eye product, the Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream, so unique? For starters, it mimics the wrinkle-reducing quotient of a dermatological laser treatment. It’s safe and effective to use around the entire eye area (smile lines – beware!), and in a test, after 12 weeks, smile lines were reduced by 54% — heck, I’ll take that! The product infuses Clinique’s patented technology with natural elements such as proteins, plant extracts, and Vitamins C and E to fight the current signs of around-the-eye aging, as well as prevent future ones from occurring. It properly moisturizes this delicate area, even on parts you’ve been afraid to mess with, such as the eyelids.
Available at Clinique counters nationwide and at Clinique.com, the Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream retails for $43.50, for 15 ml and $63.50 for 30ml.
