Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics NSFW
NSFW you ask? Not Safe For Work in web speak!! But this classic red creme polish is absolutely suitable for work and play! I also rocked this for various New York Fashion Week events (NYFW)!
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.
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.
Introducing Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF30/PA+++.
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!

Hey!!
So I have wanted to do a look inspired by Adele for a long time now. Adele is an amazing chanteuse! I love her voice, her look, her style, vibes, everything! Her albums are full of true, true tabanca songs. She’s just stunning to me!
Adele’s signature style seems to be modern 60′s makeup. The focus is always the eyes, winged out liner, full, flirty lashes and the rest of the face is understated. Nude lips, matte foundation, cheek contouring and not a lot of shimmer. She also follows this up with full, sexy, voluminous hair and spiked nails. I love it all! It matches her personality and curvy figure well and I hope she does not succumb to societal pressures.
Anyway, I saw the October 2011 cover of Vogue UK and had to a look based on it.

Inglot has just launched a new collection featuring shades of copper, ginger and gold. This comes just in time for the holidays and I definitely need to check this out in person!!! This is perfect for fall and holiday parties. Even those in milder climates would find this collection appealing. It kinda reminds me of the sunset. The colours are warm and would work well with olive, tan and darker skintones. This would also give a great smokey eye without the heaviness of black. Paler skintones could find this as a good alternative to redder colours.

Hey guys!
So I recently started purchasing products from Inglot Cosmetics. They are a Polish brand with tons of eye shadows, lipsticks, liner, everything. Their colour palette is amazing and what really drew me in was their Freedom System. The majority of their products come in pans so you could customize whatever palette you want. You can mix eye shadows of different textures, colour families or you can even create a palette with eye shadows, lipsticks and blushes. Their palettes come in various sizes including a 40-pan palette.
I purchased 3 matte eye shadows from their Freedom System as I am interested in playing with different textures. I am a sparkle girl, and I have very few mattes in my collection.
The first is Freedom System Matte Eye Shadow # 339
Inglot Matte Eye Shadow # 339
Hey!
Here’s a quick review of a blush that I think fits well with the current trend of bright, bold colour – Kevyn Aucoin’s The Pure Powder Glow in Fira.

So I purchased this blush from the Kevyn Aucoin sample sale a while ago and I am in love with it!
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:
