Harper's Bazaar ~ Gwyneth Paltrow cover and interview with designer Tara Subkoff of IOC

After being diagnosed with a brain tumor and undergoing surgery, fashion designer and actress has emerged stronger than ever. In the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Subkoff recounts her life-altering struggle, opens up about how the harrowing recovery has changed her, and shares her lifestyle resolutions. Plus, she reveals her plans to revamp her clothing line and talks about her upcoming movie appearances.

On the future of her clothing line, Imitation of Christ: “While I’ve been recovering, I’ve decided to bring back IOC in its most basic incarnation: easy-to-wear staples with an edge. I’m calling this line just “Imitation.” I’m inspired by Coco Chanel and her use of jersey. I’d like to do that with Imitation. I want something effortless as a T-shirt, but in dress, trench, and jacket shapes.”

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes

I was selected to receive a Glam kit that included this new L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara. Since I am very low maintenance the 2 step process really seem like a bit of extra work for me. I will say that this product did not irritate my eyes while wearing it (which is always the case), but washing it off was a bit messy for me. I felt like there was still a few tubes left on my lashes.
If you have tried this product, let me know what you thought of it.
