Links for the week, plus a bonus pic of the epic blizzard we had!
- Autumn discusses eyelash extensions and provides an excellent history of our efforts to make them longer and lusher.
- Hair trends for the week include color melting and glow in the dark hair, plus "man" braids (spoiler alert: they're no different than lady braids.)
- Sephora introduces its new Accelerate program, which helps female entrepreneurs get started in the beauty biz. Meanwhile, Shiseido proves it's one of the most progressive and innovative brands out there.
- Beauty fails this week: this poor woman misused a LUSH product (hey, at least her skin will go well with MAC's new Flamingo Park collection) and Cosmo rounds up a bunch of hair dye mishaps.
- Loved these very creative snack-inspired makeup looks!
- Couldn't stop laughing at this.
The random:
- I think "White Rabbit" was my favorite of all these S-K covers.
- Along those lines, Portlandia started its final season this week (sniff), so here's an interview with Carrie and Fred.
- Yesterday I posted about Manet's Olympia. This performance artist actually recreated it in the Musée d'Orsay (and was subsequently arrested).
- In '90s nostalgia, this past Friday marked the 18th anniversary of the premiere of Spice World, and Refinery29 presents an argument for Baby Spice being the best Spice Girl.
- Finally, Baltimore got 29 inches of snow! I think that's even more than we got in the big storm of 2010.
Sailor Babo and Yeti had a good time playing and enjoyed some hot chocolate.
How was your week? If you're on the East coast, what was your blizzard experience like?
