It’s a new month. And there are a lot of new things to try. Take, for instance, M.A.C. Cosmetics’ Fall Colour collection, Gee Beauty’s new Bal Harbour digs, stay-put workout wear from Tees by Tina and a class you’ve never tried before at IronFlower.
BEAUTY: Cindy Sherman, for those who don’t know, is an artist known for her dramatic transformations. Props, prosthetics, wigs — it’s all in her bag of tricks. Inspired by this master of disguises, M.A.C. created its M.A.C. Fall Colour line. Taking a page from Sherman, M.A.C. created three characters as diverse as the artist, who posed for the promo pics, herself. The colors used for all three characters are bold, like its purple Plum Bright Lipstick ($14.50), its metallic-hued Blue Storm Pigment ($20) and its yellow, green Three Ring Yellow Eyeshadow ($15). We’re particularly digging the Solar Riche Bronzing Powder’s ($23) orange-brown hue and the pale mauve Good Times Lipglass ($14.50). With a collection this lively, you definitely won’t be a shrinking violet this fall. GET IT: 107 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach; 305.538.1088. www.maccosmetics.com.
SPA: Flawless face? Vibrant visage? Chances are you have the mother-daughter duo behind Gee Beauty to thank for your new and improved skin. Parked on the first floor of Bal Harbour Shops, this Toronto-born beauty emporium recently made its first Stateside venture right here in our own backyard. And just in the nick of time, too. Running low on beauty products? Stock up on the Gee Beauty line, Rodial or Malin + Goetz to keep skin looking great. In addition to its emporium of high-end products, Gee also offers treatments like facials and brow services, starting at just $19 for Brow Boost. You can also get Secrets From the Chair for just $125. The one-hour lesson gives you all the goods on makeup tips and trends. GET IT: 9700 Collins Ave., 305.868.3533.
GYM: Don some Tees by Tina workout gear ($28 to $45), which you’ll love because both the perfectly fitted tops and leggings stay in place, and make your way to Intro to Sculpt at IronFlower Fitness. It’s 60 minutes of managing your exercise routine the proper way so you can maximize benefits. Get schooled on alignment, core, flexibility and resistance through squats, presses, lifts and curls. Toss in some yoga for good measure and flexibility techniques and you’re on the road to being the sexiest gym rat on the block. GET IT: Mondays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. 7300 Biscyane Blvd., Miami; 305.640.5270.
