Thank you, Helena Rubenstein

The Daily Mail has an interesting article on the life of cosmetics innovator, Helena Rubenstein.

The article credits Ms. Rubenstein with taking makeup mainstream. Until around World War I, only actresses and prostitutes wore makeup. And in the polite society of the day, actresses and prostitutes were considered the same thing. 

I love playing with makeup, so I'm very grateful to Helena Rubenstein. I would hate to have had to chose between cosmetics and my virtue.

Though I've never used the Helena Rubenstein brand, I'm absolutely in love with the design of its mascaras.

Lilly Pulitzer's new holiday packaging

Not very Christmas-y or Hanukkah-ish. Doesn't evoke Kwanza, either.

Don't know who designed Lilly Pulitzer's new holiday packaging. 

The woman in the picture is named Brynn. But that's all I know about her.
