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.

Who is this new purple persona?

Yes, we’re talking about Rihanna, who has unleashed her violet vampness for Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010 at Gareth Pugh’s very grey, very greyt show. This looks like the job for MAC’s Glimmerglass in Blackfire- a superb gloss with sheer black and purple hues.

She was spotted again in the front row of Balmain’s Spring 2010 show looking Lavande-Garde!

Wrapping up NYFW- Refinery 29, Gilt and Fuse threw a bash at Santos Party House with Of Montreal performing. While waiting for “Moonage Daydream” was a no-go as Solange Knowles took to the stage to perform “Heatwave”.

Prior to her set, she enjoyed getting down to OM like the best of us but I couldn’t help but admire her headpiece and her lipstick color. A stark violet/purple mass that was bold, beautiful and very wearable! Looks like MAC’s Night Niolet Mattene with a deeper shade mixed.

 ”Girl, you so Violet” was something I would have said if I could muster words at this point- I was too concerned with my own fun!

On the Grey Scale: MAC’s Cool Reserve Nail Polish

MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with the much sought after Jin Soon to launch the Nail Trend Fall 2009.

Lavande-Garde’s pic is Cool Reserve described as a Dirty Grey Lavender, it’s too similar to my taupe Givenchy Jellie Sandals that I have been rocking this summer. Complements compliments.

Please summer don’t end, don’t let the sun go down at 8pm…
