Cool Hunting

Winifred Burkeman started to sell her handmade beauty products after all her friends kept asking what she used on her flawless skin. Named after her mother, her two year-old line of products, McBride Beauty, uses the same natural blend of ingredients that her mother had made years before to keep her sensitive skin healthy. Winifred makes the essential oil-based face and body natural beauty products at her home in Brooklyn using entirely natural ingredients—no chemicals or artificial colors—and they are not tested on animals. Now everyone has a chance to have beautiful and healthy skin like the McBride ladies.
For Cool Hunting readers, Wini is offering a great deal. You can get a set of all five of the products: Avocado Oil & Wheat Germ Night Créme, Rose Water & Vitamin C Face Créme, Grapefruit & Sandalwood Astringent, Cucumber Body Lotion and Milk & Honey Soap for $90 instead of the usual $120, if you mention Cool Hunting to her when you order by emailing wini [at] mcbridebeauty [dot] com. Otherwise, you can find McBride Beauty products at Steven Alan, Bird, Bark and other stores around New York City, at The Darling Room in Kansas City and online from New London Pharmacy.

Hug them, love them, give them funny names. The toys at Acorn (the latest gift spot picked by Refinery29 for CH) might make you momentarily regress, and that's why you know they're great gifts. The soft knit Rainbow Ring Stacker ($56) and the jungle and farm animal sets ($74) by I Golfini della Nonna are as loveable as they are affordable. To order, call...
You will be forgiven for anything if you have a clean shave. Late for work? As long as there’s no hair on your face, it’s okay. Murder someone? A clean shave will get your sentence reduced by at least 12 months (unless you're Saddam Hussein). So given the importance of a clean shave, I highly recommend Sharps’ line of shaving products. One of the...
Brooklyn-based tattooist Scott Campbell has taken the art form to another level—not just by being one of the most sought-after tattoo artists in NY (if not the world) but for using a laser cutter to etch his intricate old-world designs into everything from laptops and books to leather chairs, tables and paintings. In this field trip to Scott's Brooklyn tattoo parlor and studio, he shows...
Though they formed last year in Brooklyn, The Kiss Off could easily pass as Manchester natives from the early '80s. The band was founded by guitarist Adam De Rosa and bassist Nathan Lithgow, who lay distorted melodies over catchy drumming and synth drones. Sam Tyndall's vocals complete the band, which sounds something like a better-produced Joy Division or a more brooding Franz Ferdinand. The...
Since Pattern Body Washes appeared in my bathroom, each shower is a new aromatic experience. The all-natural body washes are made from the finest essential oils and plant extracts without parabens, artificial colors or dyes and are available in four scents, Cucumber, Citrus, Eucalyptus and (my favorite) Black Pepper. The spicy scent is made from herbal extracts and essential oils of black pepper, ylang-ylang...
Opened last Friday,12 April 2008, "Dirt Mansion" at English Kills Art Gallery in Brooklyn is Judith Supine's second show in the New York City area—unless of course you are counting his numerous pieces pasted up throughout the city. Large installations consisting of his dramatic 20 foot high wooden puppet characters fill the maze-like warehouse space. Glossy psychedelic imagery and bright florals and figures set...
