Kevin and Sarah on 60 Thompson:
We just got back from a trip to NYC with another couple. Your tips were amazing! We stayed at 60 Thompson and tried out some of the restaurants and clubs you recommended. Thanks to you, our trip could not have been better. Keep the reviews coming!
Ben on New York, New York:
It sounds like a perfect outline of what to do in New York. What cities are coming next?
Helen on New York, New York:
Great tips! Im new to New York (about 3 weeks since leaving London) so Im totally lost in terms of good places to go not only bars/restaurants etc but also where to get a decent haricut/manicure etc all the essentials for a busy New Yorker! Im definately going to check out Spa Belles and even drag along my 'far too macho to have a manicure' boyfriend! Any suggestions on the meatpacking district? I heard it was the place to go at the weekend?

Here are some quick tips on how to shorten your make up routine but still leave the house looking refreshed and put together:

EYES

1 minute: Stroke on brown or taupe shadow along the crease, blend

30 seconds: Coat upper lashes with one layer of mascara

FACE

1 minute: Apply foundation with a sponge.

30 seconds: Dust cheeks, forehead, nose and chin lightly with pressed powder.

CHEEKS

30 seconds: Sweep soft peach blush across the apples of cheeks for healthy-looking color. This color works well for all skin types.

LIPS

1 minute: Line lips and apply lipstick with a lip brush. A brush is versatile and allows for more precision. Blot.
