The Emmys take place this Sunday (September 19th at 8 p.m. est on CBS) and Jean Smart is nominated for her roles in HBO’s Hacks (above) and HBO’s Mare of Easttown (both on Crave in Canada.) If you haven’t yet watched Hacks, you need to binge all 10 episodes right now. I envy you.
Chanel Baume Essentiel Multi Use Glow Stick in Golden Light, $60, helps you keep a summery radiance straight into fall and prevents that “ghostly and faintly unwell” look from taking hold. This shimmery bronze stick is lightly pigmented so you can apply it with abandon on cheekbones, eyelids, and the bridge of your nose to look instantly better, glowier. And it works for all skin tones (just use a lighter hand if you are English-rose pale.)
But Mama Always Put Vodka in Her Sangria by the late Julia Reed should have won prizes for the title alone. This 2014 mix of stories, history and recipes can forcibly yank you out of a bad mood and her easy champagne cocktail of a sugar cube soaked in grapefruit bitters with prosecco poured over could easily become your party mainstay.
Pattern Beauty by Tracee Ellis Ross is the latest BIPOC-owned beauty brand to come to Sephora and I was curious to try the On the Go Curl Hair Kit , $31, Sephora, to see if its rich products could quiet my frizz. One attempt later and I have coaxed actual curls from straw. And the scent is suitably luxe — light and fresh but sophisticated. Next up, trying the hair Treatment Mask which has a richer ‘could be an expensive perfume’ fragrance. I am all in.
Sure, Issey Miyake’s new A Drop d’Issey, $142, Shoppers Drug Mart, is ostensibly a warm weather fragrance, given its pure lilac central note, but why not wear it to stay in blissful denial about the icy months ahead?
