Try to look past Gosling and focus on Eva's retro cute ponytail. I always have problems with my ponytails sliding down, so I'm going to attempt it tonight with some extra clips below the band. If you guys know of any other tricks let me know!

A nail polish inspired by Yves Klein Blue? You will be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine. Rescue Beauty Lounge The Fan Collection, $20.
I stopped by the Chanel makeup counter the other day to see if the Summer 2012 collection was in yet. It won't hit until the end of April, but they did have their three new Joues Contraste blushes. I've been alternating between Nars Orgasm and Yves Saint Laurent #5, but of course I had to dab my finger into Malice "just to try it out".
I think Malice is the sophisticated older sister to Orgasm, as it is about two shades darker and doesn't have the frosty gold sheen. As you can see there are a few sparkles, but nothing that distracts from the color. I tweeted that it gives you that running in the woods on a cold day flush, which is my idea of perfect.

I was considering bobbing my hair until I spotted Vanessa Jackman's beautiful shot of Jacquelyn Jablonski. Decisions, decisions.
It isn't quite the 1980's years of perms, but big, curly hair is showing up all over the place lately. We have it on the spring runways, Blake Lively has been channeling Sarah Jessica Parker, and I noticed it on Zooey Deschanel when I caught up on the New Girl this weekend.
Might be time to bust out the hot rollers and shake things up in the air-dried waves department.

It took all I could not to purchase all the sparkly pieces from Revlon's new Expressionists by Gucci Westman Collection. Instead I picked the most minimalist item, Smoky Canvas, a cool medium grey nail polish with just a hint of purple undertone. I love this color!

When I first tried this on in the store I was less than impressed. It is described online as a "High polish for your skin. Innovative tri-blend liquid, powder, gel formula goes beyond face powder to give you a sexy, sophisticated glow." I own several powders from Pupa that have a very velvety, almost moist texture and I assumed this would feel the same way.
The texture was your typical dry powder, and when the makeup artist applied it with a large brush I didn't see much of an effect. I then swiped it with my finger to get a feel of the finish and rubbed the residue off on my cheek. When I got outside I caught my reflection in the mirror and saw that streak of powder glistening in the sun I knew I had to go back and try it again.
You always hear about products that reflect light, but they never seem to live up to the hype. This powder comes alive when it interacts with light, and it has that wet look sheen that usually only a liquid can provide. I prefer to pat it along my cheekbone with the sponge applicator for a strong shine, but if you are wanting a lighter touch a brush will do fine. Estee Lauder, $40

What to do with the chocolate brown ribbon after you eagerly open that orange box? You can tie it around your ponytail, like Natalie Joos from Tales of Endearment.
