Comic Book+ Beauty Inspiration: Valerie Brown of Josie and the Pussycats

Valarie Brown of Josie and the Pussy Cats

NARS Revolt Lipgloss

Who is the one of the best rockers in Riverdale? Why it’s Val Brown!

Best played by Rosario Dawson in the live action version of the movie as a bassists, although in the cartoon she shook the tamberine better than Eve ( Sorry Eve, but true).

When Josie is all up in her own world or hanging out with Alan, who saves the day? Val does!

I’d like to think that NARS Revolt complements her so well!

Comic Book+ Beauty Inspiration: Betty Cooper

When Betty Cooper isn’t fighting with Veronica Lodge over Archie’s attention, she is putting her smarts to good use, who needs some dude who can’t make up his mind anyway? Amiright?

While Veronica is the earlier half of the aughties, lux, decadent, spinning rims.. Betty was the girl who was concerned about the future- whether it be animal , civil or human rights.

I bet she had a Korres lipgloss while lounging in the grassy knoll, dreaming up solutions for peace.

Comic Book+Beauty Inspiration: Veronica Lodge

San Diego International Comic-Con 2010 will be descending upon us on July 22nd. In anticipation, I have teamed up my favorite comic-book, graphic novel and cartoon inspirations with beauty products which character would probably know and love if they were in the real world today.

Enjoy the series of posts and Hope to see you there!

Lavande Garde will be Lavande Con at the time and will be giving you frequent updates of the San Diego International Comic- Con 2010 happenings.

What I anticipate:

  • Spiderman Reboot info
  • Pirates 4 info teaser
  • Halo movie info
  • Tron Legacy teasers ( hopefully Daft Punk will be in the house!)

Anyway, here is my homage of sorts to one of Riverdale’s finest, Veronica Lodge.

Being as fashion forward as Anna Wintour and not missing any trend whatsoever this Summer, Veronica’s fingertips would be pointing and repremanding Archie for his genuine aloofness and sparking pretty with Chanel’s Riviera Nail Polish.

Chanel Paradoxal = Love!

Eclipse Glossimer by Chanel

 

Eclipse...Better than Twilight

Eclipse...Better than Twilight

Eclipse is the deepest shade in the Chanel Glossimer Family.

The deep plummy hue is sprinkled with silver flecks  that keeps you in the spotlight- but not shiny like a disco ball.

Released in Chanel’s Galaxy collection in 2007, this covented color- like all things Chanel Beauty, is no longer available to due such high demand.

le sigh…

So Lavande-Garde: Kathryn Finney- The Budget Fashionista!

Kathryn Finney- The Budget Fashionista

I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn at an event at the Soho Grand here in NYC! After the Ladies Lotto Panel, I had to introduce myself  and inquire about her lipstick hue.

She is the Queen of budget friendly chic! back when everyone was going nutzo over the Dior Saddle Bag and Juicy Track suits, in 2003 she was one of the first official bloggers and she started sharing her cost-friendly shopping tricks on Thebudgetfashionista.com.

Kathryn delightfully indulged in her lipstick color- its  MAC’s Cyber, described as an ” intense blackish purple”. She also tipped us off and let us know that Black Radiance has a similar lipstick hue.
