Hamilton Lipstick Ladies Watch, Why?

For 2011 Hamilton will release this "novelty" watch designed to look like a stick of lipstick. The metal cylinder will display a watch case on its outside case, while a twist of the tube causes a seconds dial to lift from the shaft to offer you a second timezone. My immediate reaction was "that is kind of cool," until I immediately realized this was really a novelty of the purest degree.

Does the concept make lots of sense? Aside from a future collector's item and my appreciation for the "fun" of the idea, I just sort of shake my head. This really works well for a 12 year old girl. Who else would find lasting attraction in the multi-color iridescent pink dials of the watches? The dials are just too ugly to be taken serious by a modern sophisticated woman, but I don't think that is what these watches are all about. For the most part, you are damned if you "wear" one after reaching about 20 years of age or so.

Filed under: Shoes

Would you pay $400 for lipstick? Probably not. How about $400 for lipstick that you wear – on your feet? Maybe. Italian shoe designer Alberto Guardiani has merged two of fashion's sexiest accessories – red lipstick and black high heels to create his Lipstick Heels. Guardiani's show stopping heels will certainly inject an unexpected twist to your outfit given their quirky and unique heel. While you may not get much bang for your buck - how often can you realistically wear lipstick heels? - they would be fun to wear and serve as a total conversation starter.

Paul & Joe Lipsticks With Kitchty Cat Heads

I'd never heard of Paul & Joe till I read about the line in Allure. The line often features quirky beauty products, and this one is unlike any lipstick I've seen. New for fall are three Lipstick C colors with cat-shaped tips (cute or creepy? the verdict is still out ... ). The line comes in three colors (L to R) Claire de Lune, Over the Moon, and Moon Shadow. All are creamy, and slightly shimmery thanks to Paul & Joe's "Secret d'Or," a blend of three champagne frosts that appear different depending on the viewing angle. The tubes are outfitted in the brand's newest fabric prints.

All this portability will cost you, though: $65 per duo.

Shu Uemura's Holiday Lip Kit

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

We love Shu Uemura's luxe eyelashes, but it is the flair with which the designer approaches them that really appeals to us, not necessarily the lashes themselves. That same spirit of fun and drama was applied to Shu Uemura's Holiday Lip Kit. It's a Neiman Marcus exclusive and includes a Rouge Unlimited Lipstick in brown, a New Drawing Lip Liner in wine and a sexy, sweet lip gloss in cherry. Everything is packed in a red patent leather lip-shaped case that is equal parts Marilyn and Rocky and makes a great little gift. The set is only $65.

Bodum Lipstick Flask

Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels

Not all ladies have time to lunch. Some don't even have time to stop in for a latte while they're on the go from meeting to meeting or party to party. Bodum's Lipstick Flask really resembles a giant tube of fire-engine red lipstick, its streamlined, high-gloss exterior giving way to an interior full of what busy women need most: caffeine.

Ok. It doesn't have to be full of coffee. In fact, we think that it is very stylish all on its own. How many of your friends have a tube of lipstick this big, after all? The vacuum-sealed thermos will keep up to 34-ounces of whatever you fill it with perfectly secure - hot or cold - for hours. And, of course, it will look great doing it. Price: $29.99.

Bobbi Brown Chocolate Collection

Filed under: Dining, Cosmetics and Fragrance

Chocolate plus cosmetics? It brings to mind childhood and Bonne Bell lip glosses but with makeup magician Bobbi Brown and Vosges Haut Chocolat involved, this is a treat for grownups. WWD has the details on Brown's new limited-edition fall color collection which was inspired by chocolate. Bobbie Brown also has created a dark milk chocolate Beauty Bar. The $6 bar will be on sale starting in July at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and four freestanding Vosges stores. The bar includes one of the "it" ingredients of the moment, matcha green tea which is supposed to speed up the metabolism. Brown's chocolate-themed makeup includes an eyeshadow palette, Chocolate Cherry nail polish, blushes and lip duos and also goes on sale in July. Alas, they are not flavored.
