in the mist
Few things complete a beauty collection quite like a perfume. Stila took the opposite approach with its newest fragrance, Mandarin Mist eau de parfum, and branched out with a color collection to complement it. The Baked Eye Shadow Trios come in domed compacts that mirror the perfume bottle and are available in Mandarin, a collection of peachy-browns, and Kitten, a selection of dusty pinks. The Baked Cheek Color Duo comes in Warm, a rosy brown, and Quaint, a peachy shimmer. Finally, the lip glaze is a warm pink shade that works on all skin types. Stila Mandarin Mist Eau de Parfum, $35, Baked Eye Shadow Trios, Baked Cheek Color Duo and Lip Glaze, $24 each, Sephora
loose fits sink ships
With warmer weather comes the urge to don a pair of sandals to show off your feet. Problems such as blisters arise when your shoes don’t fit properly. Even snugness plays a role with shoes; a shoe that doesn’t fit properly can leave your foot sliding forward in your shoes. Along comes Foot Petals, a line of shoe inserts that can help your shoes fit properly and prevent slipping. Haute Heelz relieve stress from the backs of your heels, while Tip Toes prevent calluses from forming on the balls of your feet. No more foot worries. Foot Petals Haute Heelz and Tip Toes, $6.95, Nordstrom
life of the party
Party girls can rejoice; a new designer has entered the party dress fray. Katy Rodriguez, a Los Angeles-based fashion designer, creates limited-edition collections with volume and architecture. Celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler have been drawn to her collections, which made their debut in Rodriguez’s vintage boutiques, Resurrection, in New York and Los Angeles. And now they come to Las Vegas. Katy Rodriguez dress, $850, Saks Fifth Avenue
la bella vita
The master weavers of the zigzag have woven a new fragrance just in time for summer. Missoni Acqua captures the fragrances of a seaside holiday on the Italian Riviera. The rounded bottles hint at the blues of the Mediterranean Sea while showing a hint of that famous zigzag pattern that landed Missoni on the map. Missoni Acqua 3.4-ounce eau de toilette spray, $80, Nordstrom
