Fashion Pulse Flash of the Week
The SEPHORA COLLECTION Luxe Combo Travel Brush, $15, is literally the most amazing mini brush I’ve ever used in my entire life. With both plastic and boar bristles, it detangles, smoothes and softens, giving my hair the look of actually being brushed! It really is like a regular-sized brush, just with a mini handle, making it easily portable for every day use and travel convenience. I’m so glad I bought this for myself, as it’s my new favorite beauty item!
I was thrilled to discover that I had a T.J.Maxx gift card yet to be spent, and couldn’t help but indulge in some bath and body care items! Some of the products came in generous sizes, so that I can ensure they will last and last throughout the year. From bath balls to sea salts and olive oil soap (my favorite!) I found plenty of options from my favorite brand names to use now, share, and stash for later. I picked all of these up at the T.J.Maxx store at 59th Street and First Avenue; where is your favorite location? Eveden Brands previewed the latest from its lineup of luxurious lingerie and swimwear brands with options for all sizes across the selections by Elomi, Fantasie, Huit, Freya, Fauve, and Goddess. Trends that surfaced in the category, destined to be popular for spring 2014 include lace inserts, retro cuts and prints, and sensual yet practical peek-a-boo detailing. My two personal favorites, Huit and Freya, encapsulated special occasion and silhouettes for daily wear, making it hard to choose just one set to take home with me!The luxury French skin care line Yon-Ka Paris has recently launched the HYDRA Nº1 Collection, which includes a serum, a fluid, and a cream that fights aging by penetrating the skin with an incredible dose of hydration.

Some additional benefits of the product line up is that the products are 89%-95% comprised of natural ingredients, paraben free, and have the flexibility to be applied day and night. Products range from $72-$82 per item, and can be purchased at fine stores and spas nationwide, as well as online at BeautyHabit.com, Dermstore.com, and others.

Vampires, telepaths, and shapeshifters, oh my! While in Washington D.C. this weekend, my brother’s girlfriend introduced me to HBO’s television drama series, True Blood. I never got into the fad of vampires, but after a quick glimpse into a new dramatic addiction, I decided I needed to put the first season on my to-watch list.
A bigger addiction for me is makeup and True Blood is collaborating with Tarte for a new limited edition cosmetic collection dedicated to the success of the show. Tarte™ for True Blood™ has created a color palette and other beauty products developed by Emmy award-winning makeup artist and True Blood makeup department head, Brigette Myre-Ellis. The product line will be available in July, in order to coincide with the show’s fourth season, and will be carried at the HBO shop in New York City, HBO’s online store, and Sephora.
The collection includes three products:
1. tarte™ for True Blood™ limited-edition collector’s palette ($52) includes 17 matte and shimmer eyeshadows, aqua-gel eyeliner, mascara, and a natural eye primer.
2. tarte™ for True Blood™ limited-edition natural cheek stain in shimmering red ($30)
3. tarte™ for True Blood™ limited-edition LipSurgence™ natural lip tint in shimmering red ($24)
