10 Designer Leather Bags Under $500
September 3, 2010
When September arrives, we almost feel like it’s a new year and a new beginning. We need to change our wardrobe and the perspective of getting new accessories to confront the coming winter season is too enticing. But deciding on a new bag is always a challenge and we often end up choosing a black leather bag. Why? Because black goes with everything, leather is not as fragile as suede and it’s more edgy & luxurious than a canvas or nylon bag.
We made a selection of the best designer leather bags under $500

Hilary Duff is Playing With Fire
September 2, 2010
The firey-red tone pointy-toed pumps with the floppy bows on the sides may be a reflection of Hilary Duff’s mood as of late. The Newlywed star has been spotted shopping in L.A wearing Isabel Marant Fall Winter 2010 Poppy suede pumps and a Givenchy Pandora bag.
The Duffster recently told OK! she’s still in their honeymoon phase. “The giddy feeling is still there,” she said. “[It's like], ‘Oh my God, I just got married!’”
We love Hilary with these fifties pumps. We picture her with the total Isabel Marant Fall 2010 beauty look sporting cat-eye eye liner, a high ponytail, and long dangly earrings.

MAC Digi Dazzle Lipstick Collection
July 27, 2010
High-shine lip color meets triple-drama sparkle and shine when multi sizes of pearl pigments team up with rich, creamy color to create a superb glam-rock effect for the lips. Layerable. Long-wearing. Hydrating for smooth application. Took out the razzle, kept the dazzle, and added a hint of glee! Thirteen colours to astonish, awe and electrify the lippiest critic. A limited-edition collection that makes boredom and predictability a thing of the past. What modern lips do best: Digi-Dazzle.
Naughty You is a semi-opaque brightened medium pink with fuchsia glitter. It’s a brighter, less cool-toned version of Troublemaker. The application went on pretty even, and the glitter seemed to stay in place for the most part.
Smash Hit is a sheer beige-gold with darkened gold glitter. It’s a warmer version of Liquid Lurex. Since it’s rather sheer, the glittery bits are more noticeable and thus look gritty rather than smooth (but again, it doesn’t feel gritty). I’d use this layered underneath a lipgloss.
Snazzy is a semi-opaque, red plum with fuchsia-purple glitter. This is one of the most pigmented shades of the thirteen dazzle lipsticks. It has a nice level of color coverage and is also the most wearable, because it’s glittery without being metallic.
Sweet Bits is a semi-sheer grayish lilac with multi-color glitter. It’s kind of like Vex eyeshadow in lipstick form. I find this color a little hard to wear on its own, so it’s definitely more of a layering shade. It also has a tendency to look gritty (but it doesn’t feel that way) and has a decent amount of slip-slide with the glitter, so it may look uneven.
Troublemaker is a semi-opaque, darkened red-pink with fuchsia glitter. It’s a darker, more opaque version of Naughty You. I had a lot of slipping with this shade–I definitely had to be careful not to press my lips together or else the color and glitter seemed to smear around and look uneven.
Wham is a red-brown with gold and copper glitter. This one also had a fair amount of slipping when I pressed my lips together–so be careful should you choose this shade.
Win-Win is a light baby pink with blue undertones and lilac glitter. It’s very cool-toned and almost veers on a lilac pink or a milky pink. It’s very sheer, so it’s better layered with another product than alone, if only because it looks more obvious that you’re wearing glitter with it by itself.
