STYLE CRUSH: OLIVIA PALERMO

It's safe to say that Olivia Palermo is quickly becoming a style icon since she appeared on The Hills spin off with Whitney Port, The City. Recently, we came across her wearing an uber cute shift dress while vacationing. Is it us or does she make everything look good. We think it's the latter and then we hunted down that cute dress which is by Free People. Sadly, it is currently out of stock but we hope to find it online or by hunting it down at our nearest Free People retail store.

PRODUCT: GIVENCHY 'MOOD RING' LIP GLOSS

Givenchy launches a new lip gloss that will create a unique shade of pink depending on the lip's pH. The lip gloss is clear in color but as soon as you apply, the color will appear that will suit your complexion. Although,  the color changing technology is the first for a lip gloss, Almay (drug store brand)has already created a tinted foundation that adheres to the shade of your skin years ago. The only thing that excites us about this product is the company itself as we love other products by Givenchy, hence the reason why we will try it once it launches on August 20th.
