Variations of the classic smoky eye have cropped up everywhere this Fall. From more dramatic "goth" styled eyes, to variations in purple, green and blue… the smoky eye has morphed into something much more creative this Fall! The products below will help you achieve these new techniques.
 Bella Il Fiore is a line I’ve been recently introduced to… but I feel like I’ve been reunited with an old friend. The colors selected by founder Jennifer Maloy for the Princess Palette are perfect to create an edgy purple smoky eye. Mama Mia and Celebrate are such deep shades of purple and plum, they are almost black. Bella Il Fiore’s Princess Palette retails for $13 on the Bella Beauty website, and at Henri Bendel. |

 For a blue smoky eye, Jane Iredale PurePressed Triple Eye Shadow in Truly Denim is a must. A wet-dry formula makes these gray-blue shadows versatile enough to create a dramatic or conservative look. Jane’s crease resistant formula will ensure you look fantastic for hours and hours. Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Triple Eye Shadow retails for $27 at Jane Iredale direct, and directions for proper application are provided on her site! Following her instruction even made a amateur like me apply this shadow like a pro. |
 Only the most daring need apply to the club of David Scott’s Ebony Matte shadow wearers. This silky formula is black as coal and wears for an eternity… perfect to achieve the borderline-goth intense smoky eye that would blend effortlessly in the clubs of LA and New York… Suburbanites like me are equally devoted, but stick to using it as a lush black eyeliner. David’s collection will be available soon at his David Scott Cosmetics website. This Ebony Matte shadow will retail for $27.95. |

Beauty junkie Jennifer Maloy surveyed the massive amount of product she owned and put her foot down. From Jennifer’s desire to simplify her routine–but maintain glamour–was born the cosmetics line Bella Il Fiore. Founded in 2000, Bella Il Fiore is a super-feminine brand of couture cosmetics, designed to be pleasing to the eye both in the package and when applied. Jennifer has said "simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing glamour and quality", and this mission statement certainly applies to each and every Bella product.
I recently treated myself to a manicure and pedicure using Bella Il Fiore’s gift-worthy pedicure set. This adorable stiletto-adorned box contains three nail enamels: babydoll pink (a sheer innocent pink shade), Lola (a sizzling deep blue-red) and a clear topcoat. If ever you needed to own only two colors of polish, these would be the two. The babydoll pink shade is sheer and neutral, and works in virtually any situation. The deep red Lola shade is glamorous and sexy. Much to my delight, both my manicure and pedicure remained chip-free for a whopping 6 days!
Bella Il Fiore is sold in fashion-forward boutiques and fine department stores, including: Kitson, Henri Bendel, Marie Mason Apothecary and Ritz Carlton. The Hollywood glitterati including Amber Valletta and Isla Fisher adore the collection, and even Oprah herself has praised it!
The Pedicure Set retails for $20 on the Bella Beauty Website.
Metallics are still very on-trend this Fall. Midas himself will eye your lips with jealousy when you wear Benefit Cosmetics 24k Sexy Gold Lip Gloss.
Versatility is the key to this gloss. Worn alone, it creates a gorgeous naked lip with just a touch of gold shimmer. Used over your favorite lipstick, it adds warmth and dimension. Benefit describes this look as "seductive" and I couldn’t agree more!
Benefit Cosmetics 24k Gloss retails for $20 at Benefit Cosmetics.
