]]> Being a fickle kind of gal, I cannot wear the same look for too long without worrying that said look is getting to be too blase. I am always eager to embrace trend, and take pride in my ability to do my beauty due diligence and find out how to switch things up whenever I get that itch. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to anticipate the outcomes of aforementioned transformations. Trying a new look has backfired on me before.

On a similar note, I cannot reiterate enough how grateful I am to live in a city where reinvention is easily accomplished, thanks to the plethora of beauty options and hotspots within striking distance of my wriggling digits and antsy feet. Dear readers, now is the time to introduce you all to both an online resource created with virtually making you (and me) over in mind, as well as a space for all my local gals to visit to get it done. Say hello to beauty makeovers, the virtual and NYC edition.


Daily Makeover is one of those websites that you are going to want to visit and bookmark, right now. A treasure trove of beauty information, you can find everything from trend, to tips, to product reviews. Going beyond just talking makeup, Daily Makeover ups the ante with the ultimate in virtual interactive beauty. Makeover Studio is a cozy spot on the site where you can upload your photo, and then go to town applying the latest trends, celebrity styles, and hottest products to your image. Makeover shows you what is hot, and takes it one step further by letting you try before you buy.

Once you have created a fabulous new look for yourself, you are going to want to go ahead and get it done. For my gals who aren’t exactly beauty d.i.y-ers, there is the DEX New York Studio space. You have heard me talk about the products and the brand before, but did you know that there is a fabulous studio space to go with them? DEX NY is a one stop shop that will painlessly take you from ordinary to extraordinary in no time flat. Nestled in the fashion district, DEX has everything from a hair station, to a makeup atrium (seen above), to a full fledged photo studio. To schedule an appointment with one of the many talents, or to go check out the cosmetic line in person, stop by or give DEX New York a call at 212.643.3188 ext 107.

Armed with the right tools, revamping your image is easy as clicking on a site or hopping in a cab. What do you do when you are looking for a change?

]]> Well gals, we are finally at that special time in the year where we become all about painting it red and white. That being said, here are some options from a brand that is as New York as Times Square, DEX New York.

Now allow me to introduce you to…

Lipstick in Carroll Street Ruby, a smooth, warm red with slight orange tones.

 
Lipgloss in Bond Street Red, a vivid, opaque, true red lipgloss with a gorgeous red sparkle.
 
Together, they make a stunning red lip combo to bring all eyes on your flapping lips.
 
Loose Pigment in Battery Park Rose, a shade that is strongly reminiscent of MAC’s Cranberry eyeshadow. This shadow is more soft cranberry than rose if I had to choose a color to describe it.
 
Blushes in Herald Square Red Rose, a matte, soft brick red and Hell’s Kitchen Tulip, a cool dusty pink
 
And of course, swatches to give you an idea of how gorgeous these colors look on my fair skin:
Top to bottom: Bond Street Red, Carroll Street Ruby, Herald Square Red Rose, Battery Park Rose
 

For a couple of red and pink accents, these items from DEX are great choices to be sure. If you want to score a deal on some DEX goodies, read on:

Being a New Yorker, I consider myself fortunate to live in a place that provides the creative backdrop for local beauty brands. DEX New York is one such company that I am oh so pleased to have discovered. Suffice it to say that I am super impressed with the products. Their signature, the customizable palette, just screams ‘gift me’.

In palette: Harlem Nights Sapphire Eyeshadow, Boat House Sky Blue Eyeshadow, Hell’s Kitchen Tulip Blush. Loose Pigment in Gansevoort Lavender, and lipgloss is Amsterdam Avenue Ginger.

 
Palette up close:
 
 The eyeshadow and blushes are rich, smooth, and heavy on the pigment factor. I have a love affair with mattes, which can be finicky at times, but I am happy to report that these perform beautifully. The lipgloss is smooth, super glossy, and rich without being sticky. As for the loose pigment, the DEX version is densely pigmented and sans overwhelming glitter. Bonus points to the products for having such fabulous, New York-inspired names.
The shadows, bronzers, pressed foundations, and blushes are sold in pans that are made to be popped into empty palettes. The whole line is completely customizable, and allows you to pick the colors that are right for you. What you get is a personalized palette, in color combinations that reflect your own personal style. Premade artist portfolios are also available, and are perfect for giving away. 
Swatchy goodness:
 
 
 
Dex is first and foremost a makeup studio, and if you live in New York, I highly recommend paying them a visit. For those of you who aren’t local, not to worry; you can find all DEX products online.I am loving me some DEX for the holidays, and I think that you (or a very lucky friend) will too.
