The beauty products for today's "Sex and the City"
Are you Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda or Samantha?
January 25th, 2021
Generations X and Y - between 1998 and 2004 - grew up on Cosmopolitan cocktails and lessons in style and sex from the avant-garde pen of Carrie Bradshaw. Exactly 23 years after the debut of the hit TV show Sex and the City created by Darren Star, the official news arrives that the revival will take place. Except that the sex expert will be joined by two friends Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes and not by Samantha Jones, the most "sex" character of the quartet. You probably already know the reason.
This reboot without Samantha has been discussed over and over again. There are those who argue that, without her irony, the new Sex and the City has no reason to exist, and those who can't wait to see the coolest New Yorkers in the world again. And who, again, claims that it will be a good test for them, given that fashions, the approach to courtship and sex and New York itself have seen several changes over the course of two decades.
But we couldn't resist and "we couldn't help wondering" what the protagonists of Sex and the City today would keep in their beauty case. So we selected five novelties for each of them, keeping in mind Carrie's curls, Charlotte's good manners, Miranda's warm shades and Samantha's fabulous being.
You are Carrie if...
You are flawless, with amazing curly hair. In the beauty case of the sex expert Bradshaw, today there would certainly be an ally for the eye contour, given her small hours, and a cream capable of emphasizing the volume of the hair. And then, think about it: a big fan of Louboutin's red sole could not give up having the couturier's latest olfactory signature, as well as some make-up products perhaps with a better than sex performance.
You are Charlotte if...
You always want to look fancy, like the perfect Park Avenue Lady, all pearl necklaces and pencil skirts. The nuances worn by the most bon ton of the group are delicate, in shades of nude on lips and nails. But someone like York-Goldenblatt also knows the importance of the right tools - do you remember the pink, rabbit-shaped vibrator? -and she knows that it must always smell good, with a slightly pungent scent to seduce with discretion.
You are Miranda if...
You love the color palette of autumn and have very fair skin, with a pink undertone. Hobbes, from her auburn red hair, to her passion for burgundy in her wardrobe, has a repertoire of 50 and over shades of red. The cool advocate never gives up on functional products, such as an SPF cream that can also be used during the day to play outdoor sports.
You are Samantha if...
You know you are fabulous and you do everything to ensure this effect, even in the beauty case. Sam will be missing, definitely. Nowadays she would definitely use a sparkling and scented cream for intimate parts and would choose very sexy oils for massage, in a fun packaging. One lesson, for sure, Jones has learned: don't overdo with chemical exfoliation. Luckily, today there are creams with a powerful glow effect.
