Fab Read: How Sassy Changed My Life

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:10:22 -0700

Do you gals remember Sassy? Before Teen Vogue there was Sassy, a late-eighties teen mag about feminism, celebrities and girl culture. What set Sassy apart from other magazines at the time was its honest voice and too-cool attitude - although some say this blase attitude contributed to its demise in 1996.

Almost twenty years later, New York writers Kara Jesella and Marisa Meltzer have written a "love letter" to Sassy in their book How Sassy Changed My Life: A Love Letter to the Greatest Teen Magazine of All Time, $13.

It is a behind-the-scenes look at the magazine's office culture, its coverage of feminism, celebrities and girls' problems. It also highlights struggles with advertisers, publishers, religious conservatives and other detractors.

If you missed the Sassy boat or have (foggy) fond memories, this book allows us to see where our rebel sisters and cousins were getting their advice from in the 80s heyday!

This Fendi Patent Crossword Clutch, $920, is from the same family as an old Love It or Hate It? poll SaraSmile posted in the Love It or Hate It? group for all of us to see. And what I see, I like! I don't normally care for gigantic logos, but this clutch is very Mondrian and very cool. I love the fact that the letters are different sizes. I'd totally carry it. Would you?

Three L-Names to Watch

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 15:42:21 -0800

Lately, I've been increasingly drawn to three up-and-coming makeup brands, all of which happen to start with the letter "L." Lorac, Laura Geller, and Lola Cosmetics are definitely brands worth keeping an eye on, because all three make amazing, professional-quality products with fabulous concepts and killer price points. Here are three great products from each of these quietly clever brands.

Lorac Multiple Rush is a makeup stick used to brighten your lips and cheeks. It's satiny-smooth going on, and the cream-to-powder formula gives your skin a glowing and dewy look that you can blend with your fingers. Buy it in either Crush Rush (mauve) or Love Rush (light, luminizing pink) here for $20.

Laura Geller Matte Maker is a dream come true for the gals with oily skin. This genius product is a virtually invisible blotting powder formulated to absorb any oil that appears on your skin. This is definitely a pocketbook keeper for an evening out on the town or a big meeting. Buy it here for $20.

Lola Cosmetics Lip Indulgence is a new, larger-sized lip gloss that's long-lasting and full-coverage. Unlike other glosses, you can wear this alone for opaque color and it is extremely moisturizing. Use with a nude lip liner or alone. Buy it here for $16.
