Christian Siriano to Create Limited Edition Makeup Line for Victoria’s Secret
From People.com’s StyleWatch:
Christian Siriano is no stranger to fashion collaborations, having already created a clothing line with Bluefly.com and cheap-chic shoe collection for Payless since his Project Runway win.
But this fall the designer will be following in the stylish footsteps of the show’s supermodel host Heidi Klum, who has her own signature makeup collection with Victoria’s Secret, and branching into beauty with a glam new collection of his own for the brand.
The limited-edition Christian Siriano for VS Makeup will include five shadow shades, black liner, three gloss colors, a bronzer-highlighter, makeup brush and a ruffled cosmetic bag. Prices for the collection will start at $12 for eyeliner and top out at $32 for the luxe face brush.
Well, this strikes me as overkill. I personally don’t think the cosmetics industry is for dabblers - there is some science involved, and besides, once it’s on your face, it’s not like anyone is going to recognize it as a certain brand (“is that Christian Siriano eye shadow? AMAZING!”)
The packaging, with its gold stud containers and patterned shadows, is pretty cool, not that that’s any testament to the quality. Until I hear the reviews, the only thing that could seriously lure me away from my MAC is the totally adorable ruffled cosmetics bag.

Well, among other things. From The New York Post:
“Project Runway” finalist Kenley Collins was arrested today after assaulting her fiance with their cat, authorities said today.
After throwing the feline, a laptop computer, and three apples at Zak Penley, Collins, 26, was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon (of meow destruction).
“It was a miscommunication,” Collins told The Post after getting released without bail from Brooklyn Supreme Court yesterday morning.
“Fights happen, And that’s that. There is no case.”
According to law enforcement sources, an enraged Collins woke Penley up just after 7 a.m. by hurling their cat in his face. Then she threw her laptop, and as he fell crawled on the floor, slammed a door on his head.
She threw three apples, and doused him with water, before he was able to dial 911.
“You’re lucky, it could have been worse,” Collins told Penley after the blow, according to sources.
Who throws a cat? Honestly! But seriously, it’s good to see that Kenley is still the same sweet girl next door who likes to pass off Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga designs as her own.
On last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny fielded advice from everybody and their brother regarding dating. While she seemed to ultimately put her prospect in the just friends pile, she did pick out a very cute and completely first date appropriate outfit: jeans and heels paired with Rami Kashou’s lovely Ema top in gold.
Bethenny is clearly super skinny, but this is also an ideal top for women with curves: the corseted waist cinches you in and defines your shape immediately below the bust (instead of billowing out and making you appear larger).
In any case, an obvious upgrade from the OC Housewives Sky tops - it enhances the bust without over-sharing your girls in a gaudy, jewel-covered mess.
Want it? You can by it directly from the designer.
