Go for the Gold!

As much as I adore fashion, I love beauty products to a near equal degree. When I watched the Spring 2011 shows last September, I noticed the runways were a virtual gold rush, with shimmery gold makeup all over the place. So I thought I’d point you in the direction of some of the best metallic-tinged beauty products out there right now. And, we all know that nothing casts a glow on a woman’s face like a beautiful piece of jewelry.

So, to help you blend these two ideas together, I’ve paired each beauty product with a fabulous piece of sparkling jewelry. Right now, I’m loving clustered jewels like J. Mendel’s rhinestone beaded necklace, Cocotay’s crystal flower ring and Luv AJ’s smashed crystal choker. Also on the top of my list: Camille K’s necklace, which makes a bold statement with a vintage 1800 chandelier rock crystal, and BSABLE’s diamond Baliwood bracelet that’s great for stacking or wearing all on its own.
