M.A.C.'s taking a trip across the pond: Give Me Liberty of London Collection

February 25, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Another collection with special edition packaging!! Now this is the one that I’ve been waiting all year for!!!! I am a sucka for packaging and I don’t think this one will disappoint!  The blogosphere has been abuzz for months about the bluish-greenish nail lacquer, Blue India and you know I have to add that to my collection!!!!!!:-) I also did not get the Dirty Plum blush from the Riveting collection (even though it is a PRO colour) just so that I could get it from the this collection.  I love the white background with the bright bird motif!  I would love to get the scarf too, but…….it will literally break my bank and I have to get some stuff from the To The Beach collection coming out in May.  Swatches to come!

‘The very latest in a series of famous MAC collaborations, it was only a matter of time before the demure-to-daring kaleidoscopic prints of Liberty of London coloured our world with Brit wit and bohemian chic. From the unstudied, Sienna Miller style of Spitalfields Market to the grit-and-glamour of Portobello Road, the swinging London girl has always been an unstoppable MAC makeup force! Spring 2010 insists on the ultimate flower fusion, with MAC joining forces with Liberty, creating cool Britannia compacts and Lipsticks, Eye Shadows, Powder, Blush, Nail Lacquers and, of course – blushing, bountiful, quite British accessories.’

February 24, 2010 / / 2 Comments

M.A.C. continues to churn out collections!!!

On March 4th, they bring out a collection that is all lips and cheeks!!!! Too Fabulous Colour Collection reminds me of last year’s Sugar Sweet collection, with its candy theme.

As per M.A.C.:

Lips and cheeks get the pretty young thing treatment…Cremesheen Glass makes a comeback for Spring 2010. Introducing six new très jolie shades and three bring-back essentials, because the world wants more of this creamy, high-flying gloss formula that provides sheer, Just Superb colour with a touch of sex-o-shine!

To accentuate them, a combination of six Lip Pencils ranging from neutral to pinks and browns, to delight and define. And here’s a lovely thought: six new Mineralize Blush Duos are also making a limited appearance. Inspired by the original, they provide a gossamer sheer and lightweight application…all Too Fabulous.

Too Fabulous, mineralize blushes

There is a reappearance of Creamsheen Glass, which is a lip gloss that I love because of the texture.  And gladly, they are permanent.

Looking for natural hair products in T & T???

February 9, 2010 / / 0 Comments

So, I’m walking down the street, enjoying the blazing hot sun, and I stumbled across a little jewel on Ariapita Avenue.  Tucked across the street from Veni Mange is a new store called Body Beautiful on D’Avenue.

Finally, quality natural haircare products at a reasonable price.  They describe themselves as ‘Your One Stop Shop for Natural and Organic Bath, Body and Hair Products and Accessories….’. Right now they carry two lines, Nubian Heritage and Kinky Curly (I almost passed out when I saw this :-)!) They pretty much the full line of products from these two lines and they even carry shower massage brushes, 100% natural Shea Butter, aromatherapy diffusers, oils and candles.  I spoke to the manager/owner and one of her hopes is to continue bringing in other brands like Jane Carter’s Solution.  This, to me, is exciting news!!

Ladies and gents, check them out at:

So you want to wear makeup..The Basics-Skin II

January 27, 2010 / / 1 Comment

Alek Wek, she has amazing skin!!!

Hi guys!!!!

Here’s another installment of The Beauty Basics.  Today I’m going to cover coverups!!! That’s right! Foundations and concealers.  I have a quick confession- I actually don’t use any of these products on myself but I have used these on other people.

Foundations and concealers have come a long, long way, especially for women of colour since the 70’s.  Now they can be found in tons of shades, from the palest egg shell to the darkest ebony!  They also come in a wide variety of formulas – cream, powder, liquid, gel-like, cream to powder etc. With the advent of high definition television, YouTube etc, women (and men!) are constantly looking for the right formula that would make them look perfect and flawless.
