Each character comes with it’s own storyline, colour scheme/collection and limited edition packaging. An updated version of the colours used to create the characters. There are also face charts that accompany each collection. The packaging is glossy black with each character painted on in vivid colour.
The VV collection is huge, but fortunately quite a few of the products are repromotes or part of the permanent line. There are also a few new products like the Magically Cool Liquid Powder, which is part of the Maleficent collection. Of course the packaging is LE so that this will sell like hot bread on a Sunday morning!!! People have been buzzing about this since July so, uhmmm yeah, get it while you can.
Maybe!!!
Yesterday M.A.C. brought out a bumper crop of new products, which included the limited edition Alice + Olivia collection, which is really small and selling out fast!!! It’s really small and supposed to be kinda carefree and partylicious.

So yeah…..I’ve been slackin’ off on my basics beauty series, ‘So you want to wear makeup….’. But I’m back!!!!
This is help you with the basics of makeup application, a 5-minute-out-the-door face, a simple work look. Find my other articles on the basics here:
So eyes are my favourite part of my face to make up. There are so many possibilities, colour combinations, textures etc. But for those that are beginners, or those who don’t have a lot of time, just a few simple steps could give you a polished look.
The Brows
Before I get into eyes, I have to speak of the eyebrows. Your eyebrows are absolutely important as they frame the eyes and the face. It’s one of the first places that people see. Many people have their brows shaped via threading, waxing or tweezing but really and truly, combing your eyebrows will make them look groomed. This is where a spoolie or eyebrow comb comes in handy. I think the metal brow combs are the way to go! The plastic ones break every 5 mins! Also get a shape that suits the way the hair grows, eye shape etc. Overly plucked brows are a no-no!
Hey guys!
I wore this look this weekend. Simple bronze, with a winged out, smudged blue liner. Also added a midtone coral blush from Bobbi Brown.
So, I have a confession to make, in general I don’t like Bobbi Brown at all, but her Cabana Corals collection is the first one EVER that I have wanted to try, especially that Nectar Shimmer Brick!!!!!! I used her Pot Rouge and its great for people with dry skin, or who do not wear foundation. Also oranges and blues work really well together, so I paired a darker blue with a paler coral cheek colour.
I also cut just above the crease (one of the things I learned at TMS), which opens up the eye even more.
Here’s what I used:
Enjoy!!!
