Makeup Gets Artsy: Palettes and Powders That Are Too Pretty to Actually Use
Arguably you shouldn’t pay attention to the way a makeup is packaged–it’s all about how it looks on you, right? We all know (and so do cosmetics companies) that subconsciously we’re drawn to the most appealing and beautiful packaging. Companies have taken this concept a step further lately by making the palettes themselves into tiny works of art: Embossed designs and colorful patterns mixed into pressed powders are making our medicine cabinets a lot prettier. From the poshest of brands to the drugstore, you can find these gorgeous palettes everywhere.

Do Guys Still Wear Cologne? Our Intrepid Reporter Investigates
Often the very best jokes are laden with insight, and one of my favorite such jokes belongs to Demetri Martin, who says, “It’s interesting that ‘cologne’ rhymes with ‘alone’.” Zing!
The word cologne evokes images of greasy dudes in Ed Hardy t-shirts, teenage boys with more scents than sense, and clueless divorcees getting back into the “dating scene.” This was my presumption when Fashionista asked me to look into men’s cologne, yet once I ventured down this particularly pungent little rabbit hole, I realized just how misguided that presumption was.
