"French for powder puff", the hospitality of the owner… (and staff) is at least half the reason to visit.
“French for powder puff and pronounced ou-pet, this quaint addition to the Wilmington suburbs has been more than well received. The hospitality of the owner Cristi Miller… (and staff) is at least half the reason to visit; the other 50 percent lies in the shop’s impeccable array of brands that are hard to come by…” - Lucky Magazine

Summer makeup, meet your fall refresh.
As the seasons change, so does the makeup bag. Swap sheer summer shades for berry-toned pinks, warmer neutrals, deeper mochas, and richer color saturation for that perfect fall feel.
Consider this your sign to make a few easy swaps and get your beauty routine ready for the season ahead.
Sofia is back with another fabulous makeup tutorial! This week’s topic: transitioning your look from summer to fall! ART DE LA COULEUR has so many gorgeous autumnal shades from plum and chocolate brown to terracotta and berry.

More skincare doesn’t always mean better skin.
You don’t need a bathroom shelf overflowing with products. You need the right products, in the right order, for what your skin actually needs.
The building blocks of an effective skincare routine are simple:
- Cleanse
- Treat
- Hydrate
- Protect
Quality over quantity, always. A thoughtfully curated routine can do more for your skin than a dozen products you’re not sure you need.
Save this as your reminder to edit your skincare shelf, not add to it. 🤍
