Undoubtedly the September issues of the fashion magazines are the most thrilling of the year.  Here are some tips from Allure who featured Kim Kardashian on their cover.

In the beauty reporter (pg. 76) they feature Dior’s gorgeous new mini clutch featuring three eye shadows and 2 lip glosses.  The lip glosses are in their own section under a gold lift-up door, so they don’t get the powdery eye shadow in them, clever, right? Look out for it as Saks Fifth Avenue this Fall, retail price $80.
