Kim Colvin is a professional makeup artist and a USF advertising program grad, and she's just begun blogging on The Daily Loaf as our Mode Maven. (And she's full of information: Who knew there was such a thing as weight-loss lip gloss?) We asked her to weigh in on her favorite online stops for makeup, fashion and good deals. Here's what she told us:
Online I rely on...
sephora.com and ulta.com for the most extensive beauty inventory.
maccosmetics.com for the newest in makeup trends.
bobbibrowncosmetics.com for the most sophisticated options
stilacosmetics.com for fun, fleeting color options
Locally...
Sephora, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom at International Plaza all carry exclusive European luxury brands like La Mer, Chantecaille, Guerlain and Chanel cosmetics. I use Ebay to find these products at more affordable prices.
For more attainable items, I love Target and often buy CoverGirl mascaras, Revlon glosses and Soap and Glory bath products.
