To commemorate their arrival into Comic-Con, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics has worked with renowned Symbolist painter Gail Potocki to launch a limited edition metallic Lip TarTM that is inspired by her latest series of paintings, “Fragmented Alice” — a uniquely macabre take on Alice in Wonderland.

Continuing with my summer coral obsession, here is a quick review of a product that I have wanted to pick up for a while. I was introduced to the makeup brand Face Atelier at The Makeup Show a few years ago. They are certainly a professional artists brand!! This Canadian-based company is well known in the industry for their high quality, silicone-based makeup. Most of the makeup that we see in drugstores etc is either water- or oil based. They are also well known for carrying Silicone-based makeup can be used on both dry and oilier skin types and it leaves a very smooth finish by laying on top of the skin and filling into pores and wrinkles (pretty much similar to a lot of the face primers out there). Pro makeup artist Kevin-James Bennett used this on the cheek in a demo and I loved the effect on the skin! One thing to note, just remember to use like products with like products. Have you ever found that when you applied a primer and a foundation, the foundation slid off? That sometimes happens with you pair a silicone based primer with a non-silicone foundation (especially water-based). Try matching the base ingredients of your products and you should have no problem.
Anyway, I picked up the Face Atelier Façade in Cha Cha.
True dat!

Summer peach chronicles continue…..
A brand that has been picking up steam here in the US is another Canadian- based company that creates mostly natural lip products. Bite Beauty is found in Sephora and they just opened up a pop-up shop in Soho, where you can get a custom made lip product!
I think that Bite made its first appearance at The Makeup Show NYC this year. I was walking by and I was attracted to the boldly pigmented lip colours. I picked up their High Pigment Pencil with Resveratrol in Zinfandel.

Resveratrol has been a hot ingredient in cosmetics for a few years now. It is found in the skins of the red grape and is touted for it high anti-oxidant properties. This lip pencil also is made from 97% natural ingredients.
The High Pigment Matte Pencil (HPP) comes in matte grey plastic packaging with twist-up function to advance the product inside so there is no need to sharpen.

So Google recently announced that they are shutting down Google Reader on July 1st, as they try to streamline things over at Google HQ. I actually started using another RSS reader, Bloglovin’ a while ago to catch up on the latest post by my favourite blogs. Gone are the days of having to visit each blog invidually. I like the idea of logging into one website and getting caught up with the latest beauty lemmings or more pics/thoughts from my ultimate TV show Scandal! You can find many blogs listed on Bloglovin’ and the user interface is simple and easy to read. I also like the idea that I can make comments on a blog post directly without having to be forwarded to the actual blog and they have apps for iPhone/iPad and will probably come out with an app for Android soon enough.
That’s it! And while you are at it, check me out on other social media sites!
So, see you soon!
Laters!
