Colorful lip balms that offer food and color
In a season of extreme weather conditions is the hardest working accessory lip balm. Compared to the rest of the face, the lips have a thinner protective barrier, which speeds up the moisture loss. Exposed to the elements and daily clothing food, talking, kissing (after all, it is Valentine’s month)-the lips transfer their discomfort in tangible ways. Matte lipstick can be ruthless on a cracked canvas, so the ideal solution combines nutrition and shade. Lately there have been many remarkable options to slip into a jacket pocket. Earlier this month, the London-based makeup artist Isamaya ffrench released new shades of her namesake Brand’s Metal lip balm. The foil -like finishes (bronze, burned coral) give a punkish edge to a formula that is otherwise protective with ricinus oil and vegetable washing. Another newcomer is that of Chanel Rouge Coco Baume ShineWith candy -clear colors and hydration supplies by means of olive leaf extract, shea butter and squalane. For a stone fruit glaze, that of glossier Balm Dotcom Now comes in black cherry, with old-school occlusives (petrolatum, beeswax) that are the lips weather resistant. Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Chic balmStrengthened with Murumuru seed and a botanical lanoline alternative, gives a pure wash of color in Poppy Red Colette and deep cassis. Some balms contain soft exfoliating ingredients to smooth the lips and primarily for better ingredient absorption: U Beauties Plasma lip connection Borrows from the playbook of skin care with salicylic acid and AHAs in addition to restorative peptides and Eadem’s Le Chouchou Lip Soothing Balm -There comes in inviting neutrals such as Boba Bounce and Fig Saus-Omvat Textuur-Refining Hibiscus enzymes and lactic acid.
In the past six years, Jess Alken-Theasby and her husband, Ash Alken-Theasby, have renovated a collection of rental properties in Cornwall, the southwest of the southwestern peninsula, under the company name Atlanta Trevone. This month they opened their last, a house with two bedrooms in the coastal town of Padstow. To update the 100-year-old building, the couple turned to the Oxfordshire-based design studio Hám interiors, which brought deep colors (the primary bedroom is a burnt orange) and a nautical interior (one hand-cut wooden salmon hangs inside the dining room). “I wanted it to feel that you could imagine an old family who cooks in the kitchen surrounded by all their treasures: a favorite frilly lamp, a beloved pillow that leaned against the window,” says Jess. The boards of the living room are filled with worn books and guests are invited to heat the wood fire. The kitchen is filled with pots and pans, as well as some breakfast supplies: a pot filled with homemade granola, plus cornish scones, cream and jam. For those who prefer to go out for dinner, two of the much-praised chefs in the province have less than 10 minutes’ walk: Rick Stein’s The Seafood Restaurant and Paul Ainsworth on NO6. Of around $ 740 for three nights (the minimum stay), Atlantatrevonebay.com.

Issy Wood’s Macabre Americana paintings, shown in Beverly Hills
This month in Michael Werner Gallery in Beverly Hills, the British artist Issy Wood 19 is presenting new oil paintings in her self -described Smudgy Pointillism, all based on photos that display objects that are remarkably tempting in our consumer culture. There is a cracked representation of the open doors of a car, his camel upholstery is bare like a jewel. On a velvet canvas, the ridges of a black foam roller Bloky tires are floors. Wood zooms in on lush but disturbing items whose surfaces can be accused of latent danger. The title of the show, “Reclaress Act”, has borrowed from the name of a reduced Dui -complaint in California, underlines this sentiment. Firearms, a recent fascination, are the most common subject of the show. Some works combine threatening images of cylinders and triggers with friendly looking beings and small golden bows. In “Smithnwesson24” an enlarged gun is covered with cartoon -like spirits and what looks like spectral bullets. “Any attempt to make a murder machine erratic in one way or another is exactly the kind of doomed effort that I like in art,” says Wood. “Issy Wood: the Reckless Act” will be shown In Michael Werner Gallery from 15 February to 5 April, Michaelwerner.com.

A perfume line that embraces the unexpected
Trey Taylor worked as an editor for the British culture magazine The Face when he started making scented candles in his apartment during the pandemic. Eventually he started taking lessons with the Brooklyn -based perfumer Marissa Zappas, who introduced him to essential oils and helped him to mix formulas. Now, after four years of experiments, Taylor has landed on a series of scents that form its new line, serving. Each has an unexpected ingredient. “Just like a person, a scent must have something convincing, sometimes unpleasant-that pulls us,” says Taylor. Byronic Hero offers Rose Oud, who offers a finish that resembles diesel exhaust. Ruchen combines raspberries and the sharp spicy scent of Galbana, an old woody plant that is grown in Turkey for its resin. Frisson d’Hiver combines Bergamot and Kampfer, while sour diesel combines the titular marijuana trunk with Egyptian geranium.
Taylor opted for the name Serviette (“Napkin” in French) partly because it was once a term that marked the class division in England. Working people would say ‘Serviette’ while the elite used the term ‘napkin’. Taylor sees it as a symbol of unseen but powerful social expectations, the kind that he hopes to explore and disturb through the scents of Serviette. He also adds: “It’s just a nice word to say.” From $ 40 for the discovery set; Available on servette.nyc And at Stéle Boutiques in New York.

A new Upstate Cafe with Asian dishes and pantry goods
When Patty Wu moved from Brooklyn to the Cats skills in 2020, she quickly started missing the cafés of Chinatown of Manhattan she had visited since her childhood. “Every weekend my family and I would go to Manhattan to see a movie and have a dim sum,” says Wu, who emigrated from Taiwan in the 1970s and grew up in Woodside, Queens. “I remember that the typical Chinatown cafe would have coffee and a variety of savory and sweet pastries, such as pork rolls and flabby bread and Asian bread. You would have a snack and have something to do. “In December, WU channeled those memories in the opening of Lucky Catskills, a café and facilities shop in the Bergstad Tannersville. Wu, who also runs the boutique of home goods and the Tabla restaurant, has her love for Asian flavors and dishes Combined in small snacks that rotate the menu from week to week. Inserted mustard green and a stewed egg). . There is also a wall filled with a rotating selection of packaged snacks, turtle, turtle chips and Japanese soft drinks. Instagram.com/luckycatskills.

Symbolic speakers in the Nasher Museum of Duke University
In 2022, during a residence at the University of California, San Diego, the artist Cannupa Hanska Luger, established in New Mexico, planned to work with Clay, but the air was too humid for the drying process. Instead, he started tinkering with steel and created the metal frames for a set of speakers. That was the emergence of Luger’s upcoming exhibition “Speechlessless” in the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in North Carolina, that inherently investigates themes of indigenous history, colonization and power dynamics in communication.
Luger, who was born on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota and Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Lakota, found inspiration in structures created by indigenous people in the Silent South Sea in the 1940s. During the Second World War, the Allied powers brought many charges To islands, including Vanuatu and Fiji. When the Western army left, island residents created improvised imitations of the infrastructure – check -towers built of bamboo, a plane from wood – in the hope that this ritual would cause more load. These would later be referred to as freight. In “Speekless”, Lodepole and White Pine Beams come together to form a radio tower surrounded by speakers whose parts have been replaced by colorful ceramics, hand blown glass and synthetic hair, so that they are unable to produce sound. The exhibition is intended as an indictment against American materialism as a tribute to indigenous artists who have been silent by Eurocentric institutions, says Luger. “What does it mean to be a speaker to whom nobody listens?” he asks. “Cannupa Hanska Luger: Speakless” can be seen in the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in Durham, NC, from February 13 to July 6, nasher.duke.edu.
