Each month the ThisThatBeauty girls (Christene, Felicia and Maree) share our top picks for the color of the month. For  August, we have our sights set on Purple. . . and here are our of-the-moment  Purple  picks for nails, lips and more:

Felicia’s Pick

Givenchy Le Vernis Intense Color Nail Lacquer in  Croisiére Purple  is great pre-fall purple. The vibrant lilac shade is pitch-perfect for now through early fall…and it compliments a variety of skin tones from fair to deep.  Get it before it’s gone!

Maree’s Picks

While I regularly fill my home with fresh lavender from the Union Square Farmer’s Market, I have never tried it as a personal fragrance.   I normally favor scents with sweeter notes, but this unexpected fragrance has been a refreshing change.   Slightly sharp, yet unexpectedly light, L’Occitane Lavande EDT  is aromatic and pleasant to wear.   I love to layer with other fragrances, as I find it compliments so many other notes.  It’s  wonderful as an addition to your summer fragrance wardrobe…and it  transitions  beautifully into early fa..

A fun way to infuse color into your daily makeup routine is through colored mascara.   Giving the lashes a slight hint of color can look great when paired with a subtle or neutral eye shadow.   Try a beige or taupe wash of color over the lid and use Sephora  Full Action Extreme Effect Mascara in Purple  to add a  feisty  point  of interest

Christene’s Pick

I have been obsessed with purple all summer long.  When I laid eyes on Narcissus from MAC’s Tropical Taboo Collection  I was like “Where have you been all my purple life?”  Okay, maybe I didn’t say that exactly but I certainly thought it.  The color wears a little pinkish on me which is probably why I love it so much and have worn it on every outing over the last two weeks. MAC’s creamsheen formula is lightweight and high gloss. It will last until you eat or drink…at which point you will have to reapply.
