If there are two things you can count on with Butter London, it’s pretty nail polish and a tip of the hat to British culture. No More Waity Katie (a nod to the newspaper/tabloid headline announcing K...
A few months ago, my Tom Ford sales associate tipped me off that the line would release a limited seasonal collection for spring/summer 2012. I was both excited and surprised — somehow I imagined tha...

I had time to photograph one more makeup bag during beauty market: that of Jennifer Robinson (one of the buyers for Neiman Marcus stores. The online buyers and the store buyers are actually two diffe...
Neiman Marcus’s InCircle event is April 12–15, and that means gifts with purchase at just about every counter. The gifts are pretty stellar, so if you’ve been contemplating a purchase, th...

One of the best bits of silly fun during beauty market was peeking into everybody’s makeup bags. Neiman Marcus beauty buyers have really seen (and tried) it all, so it’s fascinating to se...
One of the brands on Neiman Marcus’s beauty market tour was Kanebo Sensai. While I might be fairly fluent in American makeup, Asian makeup is kind of a black box to me — it’s a different ...

Not every brand was comfortable having a member of the press in the room for their meetings with Neiman Marcus (which I think was a corporate decision, not a personal one). Tom Ford was one of those ...
We arrived in NYC on Sunday night, our only appointment for the day: Bliss Spa on Lexington Avenue. Little did I realize this was the calm before the storm. (Okay, Kelly St. John tried to warn me, bu...
The makeup I pack for travel is entirely dependent on where I’m going. If Mr. Salt and I are visiting family, I pack very little: skincare, haircare, maybe concealer, eyeliner, and lipstick. (I...
