Hi,
So the Iris Apfel for M.A.C. collection came out a few weeks ago and this was a bright collection in the middle of winter doldrums. This collection was inspired by rare and exotic birds, and is just in line with fashion and beauty trends for 2012. Here are the details.

Anyway, here is a quick swatch of 4 of the lipsticks.

Here is a quick interview with Francois Nars about the new tinted moisturizers. Find more information here.
1. How did you incorporate French Polynesia into the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++?
I love being at my home in French Polynesia, so I wanted to bring as much of the islands into this product as I could. The Galaxaura, for instance, is a mineral-rich, deep sea algae that grows in the warm tropical waters of the Polynesian islands’ tidal zones.

Hey!
So NARS is releasing their new line of tinted moisturizers for Spring 2012. I think these were first seen at NY Fashion week last autumn.
From NARS:
NARS founder and creative director François Nars is famous for his no-rules approach to makeup application. But when it comes to what lies beneath, his philosophy is clear: Skin should shine through makeup. To that end, NARS Cosmetics went about creating a tinted moisturizer unlike any other — a complexion-perfecting fluid with anti-aging and skin-brightening benefits.

Recently I attended the launch of Make Up For Ever’s new lipstick line, Rouge Artist Natural.
Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural lipsticks
A few years ago, they brought out Rouge Artist Intense, a 50+ collection of amazing, heavily pigmented lipsticks. This time around, for Spring 2012, they are releasing another 50 lipsticks, which are supposed to provide a softer effect on the lips. These lipsticks are more moisturizing, and have a glossy sheen to them, as if they were mixed with a little lip gloss.
So I decided to pick up one colour for starters, N28.

So the Daphne Guinness collection from M.A.C. came out right after Christmas and there was only one item that I wanted from this limited edition collection – the Vintage Grape Blush Ombre. The Blush Ombres were first introduced about 2 years ago with the Spring Colour Forcast collection. I missed out on this and all everyone spoke about were these blush ombres; how versatile, how amazing, how cute etc. These things sold like hot bread and I showed up after de bakery closed!
So I promised myself to pick up Vintage Grape if it was ever repromoted. And here it is!
