Another collection coming out on December 26, 2011. It think this is the 3rd incarmation of this type of product. Actually, the Metal X premiered in 2007, but a few years before, there was another version of the creamy eyeshadow that was not received very well. I have eye shadows from both of those collections and the 2007 set was a definite improvement on the previous kind, but they still were not well received. So, just a warning. I may pass on these, I have to see what they look and feel like in the store first.
So, again, these will be available from December 26th in North America and in January internationally. All information is courtesy of M.A.C. and Specktra.net.
I am back on the hunt for the latest M.A.C. Collections. There are quite a few items that are coming out on December 26 in North America. These are all limited edition although a few of the items are repromotes. All info courtesy of Specktra.net
Now that I have been expanding my makeup choices, I am excited to try a few products from Smashbox Cosmetics. I received a few of their products from PR. Smashbox has been on my to-try list for ages. I am a huge fan of lead makeup artist Lori Taylor! They have always had that professional but laid back vibe to them.
Since the advent of High Definition cameras and televisions, more and more companies have been refining their product lines so that makeup and skin could look as life-like and perfect as possible. We used to be able to hide under Standard Definition but HD can easily magnify anything on the skin.
For Fall 2011, Smashbox brought out a line of Photo Op products which are supposed to be long lasting, highly pigmented and to bring the subject on camera to life! A girl can be photographed at anytime and we need to be ready!
I tried the Photo Op Eye Shadow Trio in Quick Take which contains 3 coordinated shades that are easy to use, and takes the guesswork out of trying to combine shadows. I love the packaging! Black, smooth and semi-matte. It’s simple but very sleek! Not bulky, compact and there’s a little window so you could see the colour without having to open the lid. What’s cute about this is that if you flip to the back and peel the label off, there is scannable code which is linked to a video of Lori Taylor showing you how to create a look. Very cool! Yuh get points for that Smashbox! There are 18 different trios and they vary in textures from matte to frost finishes.
I just had to post this!! Sam Fine is breathing new life into this brand!!!! Can’t wait to see what else they have in store! Also featuring in The Siren Call Collection promo: celebrity hair stylist Oscar James, celebrity photographer Jin Deyonker, celebrity/fellow Trini Freddie Leiba. Thanks to Erin (Ms. Scandalous Beauty) for the heads up! All info courtesy of Fashion Fair Cosmetics.
The biggest food day of the year is the prequel to the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. Of course, retailers have also created Cyber Monday as the biggest online shopping day. Needless to say, there will be plenty deals to take advantage of! I am going to use this time to shop for others myself! 😛
Here is what I have so far and I will add as I get more info:
