Kelly Van Gogh Rich & Delicious Weekly Caviar Hair Mask

A caviar hair deep conditioner? How luxurious. I'm not hating, I'm just wondering if adding the word "caviar" to any product can instantly make it seem classed-up and decadent. I just received Kelly Van Gogh's caviar shampoo, conditioner and this deep conditioning masque ... I haven't tried them out yet, but I'll give the conditioner or the masque a go. (I rarely use shampoo). Press notes say the masque "is packed with patent-pending ingredients and designed to restore, rebuild and replenish color treated hair." Oh, and it used caviar amino proteins, whatever that is. What ever happened to a quick rinse with Prell? So kidding. The collection retails at SpaceNKand the masque is $48.

Let it Bleed: The Rolling Stones, Altamont, and the End of the Sixties

I get literally a ton of hardcover coffee table books almost every day, and while some aren't my cup of tea (country estates, portraits of animals, some five pound football monstrosity), some are awesome. Case it point: This. It retails for around $35, but it's cheaper here. Brought it home for my rock-and-roll- adoring boyfriend. Totally plan on featuring it in some sort of holiday gift coverage.

Cle de Peau Palette Vintage

So thrilled to have gotten this sent to me but would never go out and buy it. High-end Cle de Peau cosmetics are lovely, but this new shimmery palette — obvz coming out for holiday time — is priced at a slightly absurd $130. According to press notes: "Inspired by timeless allure of vintage jewelry, this face powder exquisitely accentuates facial contours and gives pure radiance to skin."

Coming to department stores this month.

Vanity Fair Proust Questionnaire: The book!

I heart reading Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire, or any type of questionnaire for that matter. Needless to say, I'm psyched they've compiled 101 of the best and put 'em in a lovely book edited by Graydon Carter and deftly illustrated by Risko. The range of notables who participated is fab:  Bette Midler, Walter Cronkite,  Hugh Hefner, Jackie Collins, DVF, to name a few. I'm totes keeping this on my new mirrored coffee table (which, incidentally, cost $40 at Housing Works). The press release has it priced at $23.95, but you can get it on Amazon for $16

As an editor at a daily publication in New York City, I get an obscene amount of free shit that publicists or companies want on my radar. I don't write about everything, but I do sometimes. It's virtually impossible to post everything I receive, as a good deal of it is relatively lame, boring, wack or a combo of all three.

I often get out-of-control distracted when good shit comes my way, especially beauty products. You'd think getting free makeup would quell your product whore tendencies, but for me it does the opposite. I just love stuff.
