From PR:

According to NARS’ Founder and Creative Director, François Nars, “The brow gives shape and character to the face – it can create a totally different expression.” With that in mind, we are thrilled Clearto announce the introduction of two new products: Brow Gel and Brow Perfector.

EFFORTLESSLY ELEVATE YOUR ARCHES

NARS is excited to introduce Brow Gel — a glossy, easy gliding gel to tame and groom eyebrows. Achieve new levels of artistry with a simple brush of the brows from this innovative new category offering.

Keep brows in place with a unique precision-tapered brush that adds shape and definition to every angle while creating a fuller, smoother brow look to perfectly set the symmetry of the face.

So Google recently announced that they are shutting down Google Reader on July 1st, as they try to streamline things over at Google HQ.   I actually started using another RSS reader, Bloglovin’ a while ago to catch up on the latest post by my favourite blogs.  Gone are the days of having to visit each blog invidually.  I like the idea of logging into one website and getting caught up with the latest beauty lemmings or more pics/thoughts from my ultimate TV show Scandal!  You can find many blogs listed on Bloglovin’ and the user interface is simple and easy to read.  I also like the idea that I can make comments on a blog post directly without having to be forwarded to the actual blog and they have apps for iPhone/iPad and will probably come out with an app for Android soon enough.

  • So……sign up here for Bloglovin’…
  • Then follow me here…….you do want to see my latest musings!
  • If you already have a Bloglovin’ account you can transfer your Google Reader RSS feeds (and other readers) by clicking here.

That’s it!  And while you are at it, check me out on other social media sites!

So, see you soon!

Note: These products were purchased by me.

Just like music that’s African-influenced is in constant play on my iPod, especially during hotter weather, these new, limited-edition pencils are giving me life!

MAC Powerchrome Eye Pencils

 

Recently released as part of the Temperature Rising Colour Summer 2013 collection,  this is one product  that I wish MAC made perm.   These are like the mostly discontinued Shadesticks, but they have a much smoother, creamier texture that is water-resistant (not waterproof).  These actually remind me of a cross between the Shadesticks and the MAC Paints.

They come in 4 shades, but I picked up 2 of them.

Top: Life’s Luxury, bottom: Copper Strip

NB: Nothing to declare.

This season, glossy, brightly pigmented lips are the go-to look!  Everyone wants staying power.  OCC has added a new product to their lip colour line called Stained Gloss.   It’s described as a gloss with the pigment potency of a Lip Tar with a casual glossy finish (from the Sephora site).  These have a pigmented translucent, lacquered quality to them.

OCC Stained Gloss!

Here are the swatches (from left to right).

Voyeur, Meta, Jealous, Androgyne, Rhythm Box, New Wave

Definitely check them out, especially if you find the original Lip Tars are a little ‘much’ for you.  They retail for US$18 and are available now from OCC’s website, their flagship and from Sephora.

Let me know what you think!

NB: I have nothing to declare!

Once again The Makeup Show was amazing!  And it was super, duper crowded.  I have been going for years and I don’t ever remember it being that crazy!  I was happier to see my blogging friends, and I did not haul that much so my wallet was certainly quite thrilled at that!  The classes, usual, were inspiring and I loved seeing so many people with some amazing makeup looks! And by the way, if you took pictures with me, tag me or email them to me so that I could add them!

So here are some photos of the day!  Chicago, here’s what you could expect to see!
