Citizen Picks: Aldo Brothen

I absolutely adore these! Supercool twist on the brogue trend ( + they are wallet-friendly!)

Pair with some super skinny cigarette pants à la Audrey and run out the door.

Don't forget your textbooks!

Tommy Ton x American Express: NYFW Street Seen

New York Fashion Week is a go - which means - prime time for bloggers all over the world.

As we look through the frames of impeccable style while scavenging our favourite blogs, I assure you that more than once you have seen something and thought - "I NEED THAT." - Then comes the search, hours of scouring Net-a-porter, trying random key words into Google, hopelessness gradually dawning on you. Well. Do I have news for you.

Tommy Ton and AmEx have collaborated on Style.com to provide photos of off runway/street style fashion (from the Spring/Summer 2012 shows of course), and simple links to shop each look.

Enjoy!

Citizen Review: Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution

Ok, so I am sure many of you are not foreign to the hunt for the perfect cleanser - foamy, not foamy, removes all makeup, smells good, gentle, clears skin, makes washing your face feel like you are in an Olay commercial, plays music...... ah, ok. When I find that, I will let you all know, but in the mean time I was introduced to this product at a makeup counter about 2 months ago and satisfies quite a number of points on my "perfect makeup remover list".

Used backstage for countless shows each season, makeup artists.... and I, have fallen in love with it.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 can be used all over the face and eyes for makeup removal and light cleansing. It is gentle, free of harmful ingredients, leaves a light, fresh felling, and is extremely effective. It also does not strip the skin. With a few saturated cotton pads, all makeup is off - and there is no need to rinse! (Perfect for removing makeup quickly on late nights)

Often I just use this by itself, but if I am removing extremely heavy makeup, I will use it with La Roche-Posay Physiological Cleansing Gel (which I am also a huge fan of).

This makeup remover is water based and is a micelle solution - A solution made up of special spherical particles which, when applied with slight pressure, open up and "pick up" anything which is not water from the skin - without stripping nutrients.
