Every time I see someone wearing red lipstick, I want to
wear red lipstick. But no matter how
many shades of red I try, I never seem satisfied. Lucky for me, my roommate Ella has an eye for
such things and she took me to Sephora to find a color that complimented my
skin. She quickly scanned the selection
of NARS colors and handed me a shockingly pink tone called “funny faces.” I looked at her skeptically and she gave me a
look that said, “just trust me.” And she
was right. The tone was still deep
enough to give me that extreme lip, but it worked with my skin and eye
color. If you can’t pull off the red, try
a rich deep coral or true pink to achieve a similar pout.

not your mama's popcorn
As my friend Caroline and I were on our way to lunch this
weekend, we were simultaneously derailed when a tiny storefront caught our
eye. Its simplicity, kitschy name and single product beckoned us in. “Populence” opened its doors to West Village
residents just this month. The store
offers organic, artisanal popcorn in a variety of flavors. I devoured the salted caramel and Caroline
had jalapeno cheddar. You can purchase a
small for immediate satisfaction or take a big bag home to share. Yum.
