Beauty Buzz: The Latest Offerings From Tarte

Millissa on Jul 6, 2009 5:18 AM PDT

Tarte is by far one of the best beauty brands out there. I adore tarte for many reasons including the silky smooth texture of their products, the vibrant hip colors and also the fabulous staying power. Here are our new favorite products for the summer.

Tarte Lip Couture t5 super fruit infused lipstick set
This is a fabulous lipstick kit that allows you to pair the perfect pout for every makeup look you choose to do. The kit comes with a nude lip liner and four fabulous shades. My favorite shade is called Eden, a beautiful beige that completes my smokey eye look. I also find the box it comes in to be ultra luxe. After the lipsticks finish, use it to keep your jewelry in during your next trip to Cannes.

Spring Greening limited-edition reusable straw palette
A great palette that offers six vibrant eyeshadows, three vivacious t5 infused lipglosses and a bamboo eyeshadow brush. My favorite part of this palette has to be the eyeshadows. They are finely milled and go on amazingly smooth. I use the gold shadow almost daily it's just so gorgeous paired with black liner and Dior Show mascara.

What To Wear With: Levi's Swank Jeans

Millissa on Jun 29, 2009 5:24 AM PDT

Levi's is our go-to source for the best fitting jeans. They have recently launched the "Swank" style ($150.00) which is a great versatile boot cut in a medium blue wash. The Swank jean by Levi's will take you from Friday at work to dinner to a party. We here at Haute Mimi chose a few pieces to compliment these fabulous jeans with an exotic twist, our specialty here at HM. Oh and recessionistas rest assured, this whole outfit is under $300.00.

Top: tunic via TopShop, $55.00 We love this tunic because of the detailing at the neck and the flowy cut, which will sit well against any figure.

Bag: clutch via TopShop, $50.00 Add a dash of glamour with this amazing snakeskin clutch. Wear it with this outfit and practically any other.

Shoes: wedges via Chinese Laundry, $50.00 Not only will these gorgeous wedges give you mile long legs (a must have with jeans), tey'll will also be comfortable all day long.

Fashion Tips For Men: What You Should Splurge On!

Millissa on Apr 2, 2009 1:24 PM PDT

Whilst shopping, my mother is always keen to remind me that, "If you buy cheap, you buy twice." Knowing when to spend a little extra and when to save will not only help you keep a better check on your finances, it may also prove rather beneficial to your wardrobe! So with the recession in mind, Haute Mimi thought we would give you a few tips on where to spend and where to save. Feel free to SPEND on... a navy blue suit. There is nothing more sexy and important in a man's closet than his suit. If one were only able to purchase a single suit, we would recommend a good navy blue. The navy blue suit is considered to be the perfect 'interview and office' suit. The colour psychologically exudes an aura of calm and it reads as dependable and trustworthy.
