American designer and Project Runway judge Michael Kors understands that today’s woman is a skilled multitasker. So we’re not surprised when we learned of his 2-in-1 Rollerball/Lip Gloss Duo. This double-ended tube contains a beautiful nude lip gloss on one side and the Michael Kors signature fragrance on the other. This is a simple chic way to carry your essentials without taking up space in your bag. Gotta love a man who makes life simple for today’s glamonistas.

Available at all Sephora locations and Sephora.com for $22.

If you LOVE flip-flops like I do, then this one’s for you.

Havaianas, the name behind the BEST of the BEST as far as comfy footwear is concerned, has teamed up with three famed makeup artists and Saks Fifth Avenue to create three different pairs of limited-edition flip-flops. Meet the Trish McEvoy, the Laura Mercier, and the Bobbi Brown:

Trish McEvoy wanted to bring to her sandal design the feeling of a walk on the beach—her favorite way to relax. “My colors this season brighten your complexion and call to mind the deep blues of the ocean, the pearlescent shades inside a seashell, and the glitter of the sand-taking you on an instant vacation.”

Laura Mercier decided to fill her canvas with kisses showcasing the new lipstick shades in her summer assortment, saying “A comfortable sandal should be as comfortable as wearing the lipstick on your lips.”

Bobbi Brown created a pair that reflects the spirit of summer- keeping it simple, enjoying every moment, and of course, and always looking fabulous in the process. “The beach is where I go to unwind with my family, so I keep things easy by wearing sunscreen, simple makeup and a fun pair of flip-flops.”

Available June 1st. 100% of proceeds go to charity:water - a non-profit initiative bringing clean water and basic sanitation into impoverished communities. If that isn’t reason enough; comfortable, charitable footwear, then… off to the next post you go!

File this under “We knew this was coming.”

According to WWD, Marchesa designers Keren Craig & Georgina Chapman have decided to turn their long-term backstage collaboration with Stila and Talia Shobrook into a full-blown beauty business venture.

Meet The Backstage Beauty Collection.

And here’s where this idea goes from beautiful to brilliant: the Chapman will be a sheer red, the Craig will be a sleek nude shade, and the Shobrook will be a rich berry hue. What an amazing way to immortalize yourself… especially since these three colors will be featured on Stila’s roster forever. No capsule collection for these girls!

I’m willing to bet diehard Marchesa fans like Sienna Miller and Jennifer Lopez will be the first to scoop these lipsticks up.

Any takers?

… even though he passed away 21 years ago.

Iconic NYC perfume house Bond No. 9 has collaborated with The Andy Warhol Foundation for a second time. The result - Andy Warhol Union Square.

Being that Andy Warhol once said, “My favorite smell is the first smell of spring in New York,” it only makes sense to release this scent at the commencement of spring. This floral scent is bustling with notes of lily of the valley and green stems, blue freesia and white birchwood, and mellow amber and musk.

This springtime scent retails for $195 for 100ml and $135 for 50ml.

BONUS - Are you an avid Andy Warhol fan? Bond No.9 is introducing a limited edition set of ten bottles each featuring a different print of Andy Warhol’s famous Flowers piece. Think you might want to purchase? Ante up $1500 for ten 100ml bottles.

Granted I don’t know much about Ed Hardy (though my little brother’s closet lends to the theory that he should most-definitely be paid to be an Ed Hardy walking billboard), I recently learned that this tattoo-crazed designer has recently released a fragrance for women. If you haven’t already, meet Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier.

Best described as “Tattooed Fruity Floral,” the brilliant imagery of Ed Hardy’s tattoo art inspired the design of this super vibrant and sexy fragrance. An aroma explosion of fruits including Tropical Mango, Wild Strawberries, Steamed Apples and Ruby Red Grapefruit open the accent which is then mixed with a Rock’n Roll edge of Freesia Petals, Watery Muguet and Linden Blossom. This contrast of florals then merges with Warm Amber, Sensual Musk, Tonka Beans and Vanilla to create a very addictive fragrance.

Artist Ed Hardy designed the super-star bottles, and retail for $55 for the 1.7 fl. oz / 50 mL EDP Spray, and $75 for the 3.4 fl. oz / 100 mL EDP Spray. Available NOW at Macy’s and Dillard’s.

Only time will tell… I promise, I NEVER thought I’d see the day that funky songstress Erykah Badu would become the spokeperson of an iconic international brand. If anything, I’d think Erykah Badu would be more inclined to release her own earthy fragrance cocktail of musk and patchouli. (Stereotyping ends here.)

Either way, I can’t WAIT to find out.
