Welcome to my first weekly column highlighting the latest, coolest cosmetic item(s) that land on my desk! First up… Is it just me or are Rebecca Minkoff mini bags a thing now? The other chain bag (at a within-reach price point) is suddenly in the shopping cart of everyone I know, so I was thrilled when this little quilted number land on my desk this morning. It’s the Rebecca Minkoff x Holt Renfrew holiday beauty bag, retailing at $50. Inside the shimmery cosmetics case—complete with the designer’s signature double-looped tassels and locket—are miniatures of Minkoff’s beauty go-tos, worth $125 (plus, you get a $25 voucher toward your next in-store purchase). One of our shared faves? A Clinique Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry—the same shade as the Minkoff Mini 5-Zip on my wish list.—Available now at Holt Renfrew
