Adele…that voice, those eyes…those eyelashes!!! Well “RUMOR HAS IT” that the London-based mascara, Eyeko mascara, which Adele uses to make her eyes pop! was debuting in New York, and we Magpies wanted to be first in line (well…maybe not the first…) at Sephora to pick up a tube.  We went to two different Sephora locations before finding the one that had just gotten [...]

As most of you readers know, we Magpies are always attracted to sparkly things. Lucky for us, DWNY, one of the sparkliest boutiques we’ve visited in New York (located on East 21st Street between Park and Broadway), has a twinkly neon sign that caught our eyes as we were heading home one afternoon. Lucky for us, and [...]

  If we combined every Magpies’ makeup bags together, we could easily start our own Sephora franchise. And since we always review the newest and coolest makeup we come across, this is really good for those of you who don’t like wasting money on mediocre products like the crew of makeup addicts here does. On a recent rainy afternoon, [...]

The crew at Harriet Magpie was on hand to catch a firsthand look at Alice and Olivia’s Spring 2012 fashion line. While the styles were great, the crowd was even better! We weren’t the only ones taking in the cool looks. We spotted… Nicky Hilton in blue sequins…                         …American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and Corinne Bailey Rae - two of [...]

We don’t want to sound like Debbie Downers, but the summer is coming to an end, and with that goes our summer glow. So now is the time to find the best products to extend our fab summer tan. And when it comes to a faux glow – the women in Hollywood seem to know just what products [...]

We’re pretty sure many of you Magpie makeup junkies out there are familiar with Urban Decay eyeshadows. Also, we’re sure you know that they usually cost $12 a pop. So if you wanted to buy 12 different blendable, neutral colors it would cost over $100! This is probably the reason why Urban Decay’s Limited Edition eye shadow palette, Naked (which also comes [...]

   We Magpies are always on the lookout for clothing stores where we can stock up on the hottest trends – without spending a fortune. We used to love combing the racks for finds at Forever 21 – but recently, that store has gone majorly downhill. Which is why we were so excited to discover [...]

Just when we thought we had everything we needed to look technologically cool, Michael Kors designs a stylish and functional wristlet (in python, gold or black patent!) to make sure we look fashionably cool as well! The iPhone fits comfortably snug inside this clever accessory; it’s easy to use and charge while it’s still in the wristlet; plus you get to protect your special little phone [...]

All over NYC right now, the word “SALE” is pretty much in every window of every store. But don’t you just hate it when you check out the store and there’s nothing really good on sale? We Magpies do too! That’s why we must tell you what’s going on at The Shoe Box right now. There’s a huge warehouse sale [...]

Jennifer Aniston has been looking great lately – effortless, cool, and most of all, happy. Obviously new beau Justin Theroux has something to do with it, but we think her new fresh summer makeup is helping, too. We loved her look at the London premiere of her film “Horrible Bosses” – and when we found out what [...]

Let’s face it, Magpies – unless you’re Gisele, it’s tough to look fashionable at the gym. However, that all changed when we recently spotted Body Rock sports bras for sale at our local Equinox. Instead of being the boring, typical black or white orthopedic sports bras , these athletic bras are made to grab attention. They’re extremely [...]

Katy Perry is one of many celebs obsessed with Brian Atwood’s “Maniac” pump in nude patent leather. We’re obsessed with this shoe too – but at $580, the price tag for a pair is pretty steep. Enter…Chinese Laundry. We recently came across these copycat pumps at Pookie and Sebastian in NYC – and at $69.99 [...]

We are loving everything from Yumi Kim’s Summer 2011 collection – her printed tops, rompers, skirts and dresses are perfect with flats for Fire Island, wedges in the Hamptons or heels in NYC. Everything is meant to be mixed and matched – ideal for summer fun and travel. So we were so excited when we heard [...]

If Kim Kardashian is trying to play it cool about who is designing her wedding dress – she’s not doing the best job. Kardashian has been spotted visiting designer Vera Wang’s boutiques in New York and LA this week…leading to speculation that Wang will design her gown when she walks down the aisle with Kris [...]

How annoying is it when you ‘re at a bar or a club and you have to hold a drink and your purse; or worse, hold a drink and dance (!) while holding onto your purse!? Well, good news for all you alcoholic-dancing Magpies out there (just keeding!).  Cross-body mini bags are back in fashion (and personally, from [...]

With the 4th of July weekend upon us, we Magpies are getting our bags packed to hit the beach! While we haven’t decided how many dresses or pairs of shoes we’re bringing just yet, we have decided what makeup will make the cut. These items have become our go-to summer beauty picks – and we [...]

We loved these turquoise Ippolita earrings when we saw Maria Menounos wearing them on the cover of Self Magazine. So we’ve been on the lookout for a less expensive version of  these very chic (but pricey!) earrings in NYC. And Magpies – thanks to Expose, a small boutique between 63rd and 64th Streets on Lexington Avenue…we found em! For [...]

Nothing says summer like some good shopping! Okay, we kinda made that up, but we never need an excuse to hit the racks. Plus – we always enjoy getting outta the heat and stepping into some air conditioning! So we Magpies have rounded up a list of the hottest sample sales to hit this week. [...]

Blake Lively looked gorgeous while out and about in NYC last week, promoting her new flick “Green Lantern.” And while the film was not exactly a box office hit over the weekend, we think her makeup was faboosh when she appeared on “Regis and Kelly” to promote it. So we Magpies asked her makeup artist, Kristofer Buckle (he also works [...]

Since we Magpies are always on the lookout for the perfect jet black mascara that makes our lashes look, in the words of Lady Gaga, like we were born this way, we were very intrigued when we heard about Benefit’s brand new “They’re Real” mascara. The mega brush is supposed to lengthen and separate lashes while adding [...]
