December 21, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Here’s some information for one of the collections coming out this week.  It reminds me a lot of the Chill collection from Dec 2008.  It’s being released in stores and counters on Dec.26 in the US and in Jan 2010 internationally.   It seems to be very neutral, with a lot of basics, nudes, taupes with a touch of colour with the blues.  Good colours for an everyday, wintertime look or an evening smokey eye.

* Intricate – Frosted cool icy taupe (Frost) (LE)

Lipglass $14.00USD

* Hypnotizing – Frosted grey mauve (Frost) (LE)

Have you been anywhere interesting lately???

I have!!!

Yesterday The Powder Group presented their first TPG Pop-Up Shop at the new home for Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics!  I had been waiting for OCC to open their doors and I have not made it to the Makeup Show, so I went there for a preview.  There were a variety of brands available for sale at discounted prices including TPG makeup bags, Stila and of course OCC.  James Vincent, who is a MAJOR (!), in the makeup world was there and also the founder of OCC, David Klasfeld.  I took the opportunity to finally get my hands on the oh-so-popular Lip Tars. Can I say…..they are they most highly, crazily pigmented lip products eva!!!! They come in these cute tubes that look kinda small, but when I say a drop of the Lip Tar is too much–you know what I am talking about! They could literally last a lifetime.  They may actually stain the skin, it’s like pure pigment in a tube,  and the formula is 100% vegan.  I picked up Uber, which is a cool, creamy, milk chocolate with some grey mixed in.  I am always on the lookout for the perfect nude lip.  The formula is fantastic, not sticky, super smooth, highly pigmented and there is a hint of peppermint.  I wore Uber with some M.A.C. Clear Lipglass, and I liked it! I definitely have to go back and get Katricia (a sick purple!!!), Plum and the Clear Lip Tar.  I also picked up one of the loose pigments in Auric.  Lately I have been on the hunt for gold eyeshadows.  I have bronzes, champagnes and taupes but surprisingly no true golds.  Again Auric is light to medium gold – very pretty, very finely milled and densely pigmented. Love it!  I will definitely have to work this into my Christmas looks!

I was really glad for this Pop-Up and I hope they continue it throughout the year.  And I definitely need to make it to the Makeup Show!

Need a few holiday gift ideas? Sephora's to the rescue!!!

December 3, 2009 / / 0 Comments

I was just browsing the latest catalog from Sephora and thought that these would make great gifts and stocking stuffers.

First off, makeup palettes and sets are a great way to build up your makeup collection, to try a wide variety of colours or to help those who have trouble knowing which colours they could combine, especially when it come to eye makeup.  They also pretty inexpensive and won’t break your bank!

Here are the ever popular Stila Lipglazes.  I have tried these and they are very convenient to travel with and smell really yummy!

Stila Lip Glaze Collection ($80 value) $25

Seriously, this is all you need for an easy, daytime look that easily transitions into a night look with a swipe of mascara!

Stila Kitten Collection ($40 value) $18

This contains their cult favourite, the Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Show Pony Shadow Box, $30

Created specially for the holiday season, this is a gooood value,  perfect to throw in your bag for those holiday parties.

NARS Day and Night Palette ($97 value), $50

Some of Sephora’s most popular mascaras

LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler ($104 value), $39

I hope these gave you some ideas for holiday gifts.  Check out Sephora for more!!!

LOTD: Bright Silver and Green

November 14, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Hey!

Here’s the most recent look that I have done! I wore this twice already for the week and I people seem to love it.  Another simple quick look.  I rediscovered my love for Deep Blue Green pigment. It’s a M.A.C. Pro colour but sometimes appears in limited edition collections like the Hello Kitty Collection. This look is a little on the bright side, because of the contrast between the silver and the green, but a great nighttime glamour look!

The Products

  • TFSI
  • NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
  • M.A.C. paintpot in Delft (a beautiful shimmery turquoise, optional)
  • M.A.C. Rondelle e/s (LE, from the Gentle Fume quad)
  • M.A.C. Deep Blue green Pigment (M.A.C. PRO colour)
  • M.A.C. Carbon e/s
  • Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink
  • Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara in Very Black
