“Nars’ new limited-edition Multiple Tint tubes can be used on the lips and cheeks. But instead of previous Multiple releases, which came in Nars’ popular soft, sweet shades such as Orgasm, Palm Beach, and Maui, these come in ultrabright red (Beverly Hills), orange (Turks & Caicos), and fuchsia (Cadaqués). While they look intense in an eighties way, the colors are actually very wearable because they’re surprisingly sheer. Of course, you can load layer upon layer of color for that pop-princess look, but we recommend applying in small doses for just a hint of hue.”
This will be available from May 1st, and would retail for US$38. Availability:NARS Cosmetics

Doesn’t this collection make you want to head to the beach!!!! I’m going to be all over the pastel, pearlescent green packaging and the orange lipgloss is calling my name!!!!
Ok, this mini collection kinda has the same hype that Hello Kitty had last year. People are super psyched about this limited release!!! It’s going to be one of the coolest Viva Glam campaigns (I still think that the coolest one was the RuPaul/KD Lang campaign for the original release of VG I back in 1994). The From Our Lips collection is now available on the M.A.C. website which probably means that it’s going to the released is stores on Thursday 11th February Wednesday 10th February.
I think it’s time that I get my first Viva Glam lipstick and I am sooooo looking at VG Cyndi, which is described as ‘a light reddish coral’ and it’s in a lustre finish so its sheerish and super creamy!!!!!!!!!!! The packaging alone has me sold!!! Deep metallic red on black with the black signatures. These are going to be collector’s items for sure!!!!
Check out the face charts!!! I love the Cyndi look!
So one of the promises that I made to myself for 2010 is to get involved in using more cosmetic lines. Stila is another great company with colours that are friendly to women of colour. Right now, for Saturday only, they are hosting a 25% off sale on all their sets and free shipping on orders over $50.
Also check out their newly released One Step Makeup and The Makeup Player, which is a portable makeup train case, that also has a feature that provides audio makeup lessons. You could even plug in your mp3 player for music on the go!!! This has been getting rave reviews as a product for beginners!!!!
