Sunday Riley Blush in Blushing
I can’t believe I’ve haven’t already written about Sunday Riley’s powder blush in Blushing. It’s been a staple in my makeup routine for the past two years or more. It’s one of those perfect basics that’s worth the investment, because it’s incredibly versatile and it lasts a very long time.
Here’s an official product photograph. Blushing is a very natural rose shade; I’ve seen it described as “cool,” but I think it’s closer to being a true neutral.
The packaging is Sunday Riley’s usual black-and-gold compact (with a mirror).
Girls at a Woolworth’s Perfume Counter, 1947
This photograph was taken in 1947 by Stanley Kubrick, when he was a staff photographer for LOOK magazine in New York. LOOK no longer exists, nor does Woolworth’s. I wonder where these two girls are today, and whether they still wear perfumes, and if so, which ones.

Elsewhere on the Internet: My “Listicle” About Celebrity Perfumes
For the past two years, I’ve been writing uncredited profiles of famous people in history and culture for the Biography website. Hey, a girl’s got to pay the bills. And more recently, I’ve been authoring articles (really more like “listicles”) on specific topics, with a byline.
Here’s my latest piece, a summary of important moments in celebrity perfumes. Enjoy!
Covet: Guerlain Autumn 2014 Collection (updated with list of shades and photos)
Guerlain cosmetics have been one of my biggest temptations this year. I love my two Guerlain foundations, Lingerie de Peau and Terracotta Joli Teint, as well as my very-special-treat-of-a-lipstick, Rouge G in Georgia… but I’ve managed to avoid the Guerlain counter since those purchases. However, now that I’ve been a few photos of Guerlain’s Fall 2014 collection (here on Chicprofile), I have a feeling that I’ll be planning a visit to Saks in September.
First, Guerlain is reissuing its KissKiss lipstick line with a new formulation and new shades. I love the shiny black cases.
UPDATE, 7/27: Here is a list of shades, from Guerlain’s Japan website:
- 325 Rouge Kiss
- 320 Red Insolence
- 321 Red Passion
- 322 Red on fire
- 324 Red Love
- 327 Red Strass
- 360 Very Pink
- 364 Pinky Groove

And see here for **photos** of all the KissKiss shades on a Dutch beauty blog. A few of the roses are calling to me…
Second, three new eyeshadow “quads” (Ecrins 4 Couleurs) will be released as limited editions. This quartet of nude shades, called Les Sables, looks simply perfect.
I’ve read that the collection’s Japan launch is scheduled for August 1st. No news yet about the US release. Stay tuned…
