I am such a sucker for chic packaging and Givenchy’s Le Rouge certainly hits the mark in that category. Encased in a genuine leather, Le Rouge lipsticks embody the essence of the Givenchy brand: edgy with just the right amount of femininity. I love when fashion houses that venture in to the beauty market can [...]
“I learned early on how different types of light can truly flatter the complexion. Growing up, my mother had pink light bulbs in all of the lamps throughout the house.

I was a little late on the [...]
