Bigelow's Barber Cologne in Elixir Red is a fabulous addition to any fragrance wardrobe. Clean and crisp fig leaf gives Elixir Red a uniquely modern texture. The heart of this fragrance is composed of redcurrant and sandalwood accords which blend together nicely to create a warm sillage. I'm very impressed by this release, as the notes list looks like something I'd expect to find from a niche perfumery with an expensive price tag. To add to the charm of this cologne, the bottle looks like something you might find on Don Draper's countertop. This scrumptious cologne is the perfect gift for you and the man in your life to enjoy together!

• C.O. Bigelow's Elixir Red is available for $19.50, online and in retail stores

Check out the pics of Stila's spring collection. I've been wearing most of it every day, and I friggen LOVE it. I've gotten lots of compliments on the lipglazes, and I really like them because they're not (IMO) as sticky as other brands are/can be when they add glitter.
Enjoy, and if you have any questions, or if you've got any of these pieces and want to share your impressions, please do!

Napoleon Perdis is bringing colors from the celestial plane down to earth with the new Astro Girl collection. Launching in February the collection contains four prismatic quads that are named and themed after the four elements of the Zodiac - Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. The packaging has a pro tip for application on the back along with a breakdown of which sign each color was selected for. Each quad contains four generously sized shadows, two sponge tip applicators and a small mirror.

Being a Libra myself I was instantly attracted the the air quad. The luminous colors are easily blended and have great pigmentation. This past weekend I used the smokey charcoal and silvery white shade from the Water quad for a equally sensual and striking smokey eye for a special occasion. The colors can be used wet or dry opening up several new shadow/liner combinations with each quad.

If you are a fan of astrology and things celestial as well as lover of pigmented shadows, we can safely say these quads will be a unique addition to your collection. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about them!

Each quad retails for $35 and is available at Ulta as well as online through dermstore.com and ulta.com

In a prior post I mentioned that y'all'd want to keep your eyes open for the Stila Spring line. Yesterday, I received samples in the mail and figured I'd play with them today.

Stila decided to go with a sparkly, jewel inspired spring line, and I think, for the most part it did them well. The palette is smaller than the regular Stila palettes, which surprised me, but the shadows are something new and different for sure. Initially, I thought they were like MAC's Lustre formula (which I actively loathe), but they're not. They're pigmented, blendable, and the shimmer doesn't fall out everywhere. I found that I liked the application better if it was a bit damp, but that's just me.
