New product alert! Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural lipsticks

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.

Recent M.A.C. swatch: Vintage Grape Blush Ombre from Daphne Guinness

Recent M.A.C. swatch: Vintage Grape Blush Ombre from Daphne Guinness

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!

A Haul! M.A.C. Posh Paradise Collection

Hey! So I was very excited for a collection of Paint Pots and Mattene lipsticks, as I love both.  I really wish that they would expand the permanent Paint Pot line and keep the Mattenes as well.

Anyway, I listed all the items from the collection here.  This has been a very popular collection and it’s still available in stores and online.  Here is what I got:

Paint Pots in Nubile and Half Wild

M.A.C. Collection: Fall Color Collection

M.A.C. Collection: Fall Color Collection

This collection came out in North America on September 29 and will appear internationally in October (although it is out in some international locations).  This is a massive collection with a lot of items that are already in the permanent collection or have be released previously.  I love new items but it’s great getting new ideas for old items.  Some items are permanent at the PRO store, but  you don’t have to have to be a M.A.C. PRO to order.  You can visit to PRO Store or call their 800 number.

Upcoming M.A.C. Collection: Posh Paradise

This collection comes out tomorrow, Sept 15th in the US and Canada and in October internationally.  It is already being sold online at maccosmetics.com as well as other online retailers, such as Nordstrom.

This is a limited edition collection featuring some classic items, paint pots and mattene lipsticks.  Needless to say, I will be ALL OVER this collection!  I love the versatility of the paintpots to be used as an eyeshadow base or as a cream eyeshadow.  I have one or two of the original Mattene lipsticks, so that I am anxious to see what this new batch has to offer.

Jennifer Lopez for L’Oreal – inspired LOTD

So J. Lo has been making a comeback and she is one of the latest spokespersons for L’Oreal.  I saw this ad in a magazine for L’Oreal Colour Riche le Gloss, where the look was very glossy and smokey.

She has been rocking the heavy, defined, black liner with thick, dense lashes on magazine covers and other ads.

Anyway, here she has pointed liner, peachy-bronzey eyeshadow, peach lips, full brows and full lashes.

This is what I came up with:
